this odour of being
this stench of existence that numbs my throat choking every breath while I cry for life
I do not long to be
I do not need to be
all that this body of mine hankers for
is air

Millions of years later,
when I am
thousands of six feet under,
if humans still exist
and if diamonds still sparkle,
will a part of me
be able to sit on someone's finger
and finally hold light?

-

Words
empty, empty, empty shells
housing hermit spirits
i hate you
even in my coherence

-

with one of them
moving from one stop to another
while the other completes a full journey
we too, are born unequal
gifted with different paths
but should remember
that in the end
24 hours
and 1440 minutes
make up
the same singular day

-

A plateful of nostalgia,
a cup brimming with hope
a small serving of unresolved grief
and a dessert of words untold
marinated to perfection
under the spell of time
before an a-la-cartè of memories
I say "it's dinner time!"

Rain
(Musings)

-

Worth another biscuit following after you
when you drown
even at the risk of both of you
dissolving completely.

-

the last slice of bread
mouldy and stale
that you arrive at
after finishing the loaf
impatient
to finish the packet
and clear your shelf.

I fell on him
like a stray feather from a wing
swirling in the air,
aimlessly
until I landed on his shoulder
and I stared at him
from the corner of my eye
hoping he would spare a glance my way
but he never turned to look
for I was weightless
and he was light
and when his eyes did fall on me
his rough hands
didn't brush me off
like unwanted dirt
He picked me up
with his clumsy fingers
ever so delicate then
and put me down
gently
on a tiny stream
that reflected the sky.

She wondered, what could be worse, than not being able to grieve for the death of a love? What could be worse, than forgetting a person over distance, and not even having a memory to grieve over? What could be worse, than not being able to cry, when your heart was tearing apart, and all because the person was forgotten, and only and only love had remained.
