Caveat Emptor


It will enter like incense 
Through an unperturbed window
When you are half asleep
It's sweetness lingers on
Like the tender spring-wood
A sign read- 'Caveat Emptor!'

Will sweat passion 
In it's early summer
And before it has been long
The scorch will announce it's trials
Blinded by the heat to trust
The glistening fluorescence from far
Will bring thorns, in measuring distance

On knees, right before they fall
The lilacs bleed belonging
Like a fallen graft
After a mewling monsoon
That belies it's hybrid beauty
With failed attempts
A sign read- 'Caveat Emptor!'

The sun dried leaves rustle
In despondence 
They whisper autumn 
Into the flame red boulevards 

Soon the hearts were numb cold 
But moist too
Praying for this solstice to be the last
This winter of love
Wrapped withering hopes to dying warmth
Of Endless nights 
And cold-blooded closures
A sign read- ‘Caveat Emptor!’
