By Sudeep Adhikari

half-awake beneath your own particles

A wet winter comes,
making the rain of light
as cold as the tears of an orphaned
decay. A screaming calm;
a split on the wall of an ignorant

bliss, of sleeping with
the warmth of intoxicated
shadows of half lives.

We came in the shape
of purest beam of smiling light.
And we go dancing in the flames
of colored fire; And in-between,

we live our never-ending sleepwalks,
the fabric painted in the color of
recurring nightmares

of long-forgotten knowns.

once i dreamt of mandelbrot sets

When soul is sleepless
i dream of hazy mandalas
fractal kalchakras
and Mandelbrot shooting stars;
a curvaceous witch,
she floats across
my dreams like a space nymph
between seen and the unsung
and makes my mind
One with the entire universe.

And there i am, a universe
within a universe
refelcting a whole lot
of everything on my tiny fraction.
