I have so much respect for this, but I would never be able to live like this. What if I don’t feel like spaghetti tomorrow? What if I want to throw caution to the wind and order sushi! These are fundamental rights.

On the plane, one Bloody Mary and 3 half-written poems scribbled on napkins. Sadly, I had to use those napkins to wipe the tears. Now there are no poems, only ink stains on my face.

Give up if you need to
Lie down if you’re tired
Cry until your dry
Scream until you’re hoarse
Laugh at the horror
Do whatever you need to do
To get to the other side
Just please, when you do
Don’t forget what we had.

sprawled across linen sheets in the tropics
wearing nothing but a pink thong, unable

For all the lovers. For all the ones who wish to be loved.
On Valentine’s eve, I’m sharing a special piece. Love Story is my first published poem in a professional setup: The Hindustan Times Sunday Magazine, New Delhi, in 1982. I wasn’t even twenty. Thanks for reading it.

Since lately I’ve been making you access your scary parts (or the humanity we share but are constantly turning away from), I’ll give you a dose of equally beautiful optimism. Because with darkness, there must be light. The poet is an an ear. You must pay attention to both.

I've written a poem that begins.. "On days like this, morning comes in with her wicked grin."

Hold on peeps, tell me, has anyone ever used “brinking” as a description for being on the brink of disaster? Cause if not, let it be known that I make up words.
P.S. I make up words.

"Maybe you're one of those people who writes poems, but rarely reads them. Let me put this as delicately as I can: If you don't read, your writing is going to suck." - Kim Addonizio, Ordinary Genius: A Guide for the Poet Within (Norton, 2009)

I used to talk to someone in poems. How fortunate to be able to share a secret language. I’m so sorry for your loss. 🤍
RIP Linda Pastan. We used to talk to each other in poems, and this was the last one she sent me. 🖤

Rough day for love

When someone else articulates what you can’t put into words.
Language excites me. Irrational thought excites me. I spend most of my time listening instead of writing. A shard of language might come: a phrase, a word, an anagram, and I’d just keep it in my pocket, like a little seed, warming in my fist.
