If I were to tell you what's on my mind,
Gathering myself - all the parts
Misplaced from various sources
The girl who ran barefoot
In gardens, hiding in her room
To be better than who she was;
Would you listen to me
Without judgement and prejudice?
Or will you prefer to leave
Like you always do?
-
Looking at the note pad, lying on the floor.
Writing this poem, you read on my wall.
Glaring at the clock has become such a bore.
Oh my, Oh my, it is well past four.
Thoughts of sleep, will rear its ugly head,
As the love of words come out of me like
Insomnia which robs me blind,
Most nights, as I lay in bed.
Closing my eyes, about to fall asleep.
Hooray! I'm drifting away, great.
Until sudden realisation hits me.
That the whole world,
is wide awake.-
There is none of the words
That can fill the emptiness
When I write about you.
It is always like a blank sheet
Not even a single drop of ink
On the scented papers.
And it does not need to be written
Because the heartbeat itself
Is already a rhythmic poem without words;
A harmonic music without lyrics.
It is just a drum you made
That rolls your name,
Deep within my shallowness.-
One is never lost
On the journey of life
There are no dead-endings
There are no detours.
Every time you feel off-track,
A new path is emerging;
You will build your own dream
Even while being disoriented
Like our friend Siri says:
"Your route is being recalculated."
-
Date a girl who writes,
About the pain of her glorious past,
or the joy of her own dream,
or the smile of her mother.
Date a girl who writes,
About you, him, them, us, the universe.
Because you know, that at a certain point in time, you've become a part of her own story,
Immortalized in paper even though it may get lost as forever progresses.
Yet, the fact still stays that you were there with her.
That you were a part of her existence in this ephemeral life.-
Everything unsaid
I confide in stars,
Hoping moon's a better
Middle man than my heart.-
Grief is never linear
It doesn't start strong
And taper off after sometime.
Rather it's a hurricane
That grows smaller or larger
Within few hours.-
