you will stay forever I hope,
easing my storms,
erasing my traumas,
distorting the depressions,
strumming the high notes-
perennial,
in tandem-
shimmering then shining,
brimming with glee,
I locked the gates,
hid the keys,
stayed awake,
shivering shyly,
to ascertain,
if you would,
hunt or hurt me?

-

The palms of the stars,
They clap, they call,
The ones who hear,
Make a big haul.

-

The heart overrides the heads reasons feels palpable emotions
and acts selflessly by the power of compassion.

-

The camera shutter was removed,
Opening myriad angles and dimensions,
The lens froze the perfect stories giving birth to talking pictures for posterity.

-

I felt it -
The undercut,
The match when it burnt my skin,
Bruised my soul.
I behaved -
Unaffected, undeterred,
When you gaslighted,
To incinerate me.
I was immobile -
You missed watching me bleed,
You missed sensing my pain,
You missed our moment of disconnection.
Now, we can never ligate,
Sadly,
This you will never know.
Thankfully,
I camouflage well.

-

silent noises that bind seasons
and
violent calamities that blind reasons







scintillating stories that soothes
and
magnificent milestones that motivates.

-

Corrosive dubiety surpasses vigilance,
Stormily emerges strongly,
Recklessly ravages remnant rationality,
Restituting indefinite mayhem.

-

Mind mending
Soul striving
Heart harmonizing
Present Past
For Future
Eternity.

-

You pack memories to take along,
You may leave humming a sad song,
It's like basking in the rain when it's sunny,
You cry recalling times that had been funny,
Your heart hurts,
Your mouth blurts,
Lies that you had hidden deep,
Truths that you wish you could forever keep,
A longing that's so real,
A place that will always be surreal.

Patience

Like doubts, they said,
Messes your brains,
Yet, you don't scream in disdain,
That's patience.

Like pines, she said,
Pokes your tears,
Yet, you don't scream in pain,
That's patience.

Like honks, he said,
Blasts your ears,
Yet, you don't scream in complain,
That's patience.

Like rue, we said,
Breaks your spirits,
Yet, you don't scream in strain,
That's patience.

If you fathom patience, I say,
You are in for a big gain.
