I let words run loose
until they tire themselves out.
There's no right time.
There will always be wrong questions.

-

You were lost, and i let you wander.
Tell me, if i sinned
or handed you another freedom.

-

Would you let me
if i set fire to my heart
and watch it burn ablaze

But when no smoke comes out,
what do i make of it?

-

While you keep the ones
who stand capable of giving,
heed those who are trying.

-

It's simple enough.

Don't touch me
because i am burning
while you slip by unscathed.
Or touch me
and we both burn.

I'm in flames either way.

-

You say
I take a step forward
but two back
I'm not learning

hush now
don't you see
It's not overnight work
this time I'm on the floor
because I know
I'll rise up again.
I'm measuring the ease
the grace in my falling
and the courage it will take
to bounce back
and stride ahead.
—healing.

-

I don't quite know who i am,
I, however, know what i am when i'm with people.
A personality adjusted to circumstances,
moulded around to fit along cracks.
And when you stay still in a position at length,
your body starts aching.
You start craving the familiarity of comfort
even if it means reverting to tangled notions of your being.

-

You don't have to have
your mornings after dawn.
You can start your day in nights too.

-

I will live with my okays
as long as i keep striving
to turn them into betters.

-

If you look deep enough
You will realize there's a core of each pain
When it sets itself especially deep down to bones
streches its limbs across the conscious mind
Like the bloom of a seasonal fruit tree
Or sound of a wall clock ticking by the hour
Only, it doesn't subside
Remaining throughout the span of time
Cross seasons
In a heart which throbs
by the flame being kindled
with the littlest of reminders.
