I gave it a second chance
To what we say, yes ‘love’
From coming out of a trance
Even if I called it a bluff.

This was different from the past
Ready to give me a fresh start
Just a leap away to catch
But I kept us apart.

Watching him from a distance
Left me hurt and reeling.
Being fearful of the past I witness
Starts the fight of feelings.

The wall protecting my heart
Starts to fall
Showing him all the scar
Result of his patience and his calm.

Clouds of past still surround me
This demon fight drains me
Even then he claims me
Bringing perfection out of imperfection-
That is me.

The choice became harder
As his love conquered every part
And he became my harbor
Last hope for my bleeding heart.

So, I gave love a second chance
My heart welcomed him
Blossoming my died romance
Making me believe in what we say
Yes, ‘love.’

SECOND CHANCE

I gave it a second chance
To what we say, yes ‘love’
From coming out of a trance
Even if I called it a bluff.

This was different from the past
Ready to give me a fresh start
Just a leap away to catch
But I kept us apart.

Watching him from a distance
Left me hurt and reeling.
Being fearful of the past I witness
Starts the fight of feelings.

The wall protecting my heart
Starts to fall
Showing him all the scar
Result of his patience and his calm.

Clouds of past still surround me
This demon fight drains me
Even then he claims me
Bringing perfection out of imperfection-
That is me.

The choice became harder
As his love conquered every part
And he became my harbor
Last hope for my bleeding heart.

So, I gave love a second chance
My heart welcomed him
Blossoming my died romance
Making me believe in what we say
Yes, ‘love.’

In the vessel of our hearts and minds,
With truths, soul shattering and divine,
Show me your naked skin
And I’ll show you mine,
The secrets that hide in the crevices,
Love galore and filled like a goldmine.

A head rush,
A blood gush
All sweet like cherry wine,
Make me your muse
and I’ll make you mine,
Painting you as bright as the sun,
and as intoxicating as moonshine.

A taste of midnight,
Entwined in the waistline,
Touch my dreams
And ill touch yours
And in exchange
Douse out the nightmares
That plague the grapevine.

Living in this great tragedy,
With a stone for a soul,
Kiss my scars
And ill kiss yours,
oh what a heavenly way to die
cursed like a war crime,
praying, preaching,
amorously beseeching,
till the end of time.

WHO’S PUPPET AM I?

IS MY LIFE A TOY TO TANGLE WITH?

AMI SOMEBODY’S SLAVE, OR IS IT MY FATE?

WHY ME, WHY ME, WHY NO ONE ELSE BUT ME? I CAN’T LAUGH OR ENJOY THE PLEASURES OF LIFE, WHY?

I CAN’T WEEP OR VOICE MY SENTIMENTS, WHY?

I CAN’T DANCE IN HOPES OF THANKSGIVING, WHY?

I AM RESTRICTED TO EVERYTHING, WHY?

WHY SHOULD I LIVE IN A WORLD OF GOLDEN CAGES?

WHY CAN’T I BE IN PEACE IN HEAVEN?

QUESTIONS ARE MANY. BUT WHO CARES ABOUT MY ANGUISH?

NO CONCERN FOR MY INSECURITIES OR MY FEARS, WHY LIVE THEN?

WHY CAN’T YOU LEAVE ME LIKE I WANT TO BE?

I’VE LEARNED WHAT YOU COULD GIVE, IT’S PAIN.

LEAVE ME, LET ME BE IN PEACE.

I ACCEPT EVERYTHING OPEN-HEARTEDLY, BUT IT’S TIME YOU LET ME GO.

LEAVE ME ALONE, I KNOW I’M NOT TO BE TOUCHED.

NO MATTER WHAT I DO, NO MATTER WHERE I AM. WHY DO YOU CARE?

DON’T, AFTER ALL, I’M WORTHLESS OF DESERVING LOVE. CURSE, CRITICISM, MOCKERY, THAT’S MY MERIT. WHATEVER HAS HAPPENED I SHOULD LEAVE IT. I’M TOO LATE.

I’LL BE SAFE IN THE HANDS OF SUFFERING, LET ME GO.

DEATH IS MY BEST FRIEND.

In the dead of night,
With the icy wind blowing in
To the depths of hollow within,
Carrying with it the chirps of silence.
It is then you let your feelings drift,
You let out the rivers,
Rivers of pain and dread,
That have been hiding behind that beautiful smile.
It is then you feel your demons,
Eating away at the remnants of your shattered soul.
You remind the pieces left of you
That you do not belong,
Not in life nor in death,
That You are a glitch that needs to disappear
And wishing upon a falling star,
That you do indeed breathe your last.
You lay there in the stillness,
Letting your own thoughts kill you,
Covering your mouth with your hand to
Hide your agonising pain,
And stifle your shrieks of carnage,
To ensure the tranquility of
The deafening cold night wind.

Deep inside I quell a storm
That rages at the gates,
A thundering cry to be set free
Rides on the howling wind.

Dive into the misery of unknown
To witness the truth of myself,
I wished to disappear.

The high tides of emotions
Leave me waddling
In the cold depths of anarchy.

In the shipwreck of humanity,
There is a desire
To let the Hell hidden loose.

I feel the slow current
Turn into an electrifying tempest.
A twinkle of hope
Screaming across the blue for survival.

The cynical part begs me to do the same,
But I slowly let myself drown.
Immersing the last few thoughts
In the shivering cries and chaos.

The gentle fury of the sea
Envelope me in it’s storming flames
That burn away my existence into oblivion.

Full moon floating in the sky
Squirting us with mysterious light
Stays in all its forms
Through thick and thin of life
Gliding behind mists
Sparkling lonely in the sky
Squirting light to steer our way
Warming our souls in hardest times
A pal to all beings throughout the twilight
shimmering solitary in the sky

Missing the hate
Last night I saw her in my mind..
Remembering how she tried to bind…
Our feelings got hurt , can’t even express…
You left me crying that day ,in that blue dress..

You cruelly turned me down into pieces…
Irony is..
Those moments we shared ,
is the thing My heart still misses..

You were the one who gave me hope…
But same you..
Choked every bit of it ,like a neck with a rope…

I tried on holding on you ,when you wanted to be freed …
Thinking of others more , you had the emotion of greed…

Did dumping me even worked for you ,
The breaking of emotions i faced , you still have no clue..

It has been days ,we haven’t talk..
Coz’ you blocked me , I can’t even stalk..
You replaced me like I was mere dead..
I still find you ,in my world which you made..

Still expect you ,in msgs , notification,and phone call..
Willingly or not ..
You caged me in my grief wall…

May the person who hears this, will know my vain…..
And understands ..
Loving the wrong ,will only get you pain…

Love the deservable..
If in harsh times , they are available..
Forget the person you still miss…
Atleast pretend you possess the bliss…

Now let’s end it here..
For the god’s sake , I wanna make it clear..
I was the one ,who mistakened to love you..
Wearing the blue dress you left that i gifted you…..💙

Future is always unknown,
Past has already taken place,
But Present is in your hand,
At the end you decide alone.
To make yourself successful,
Face all your fears,
Let go of all those who are a barrier,
Towards the end there will be no tears.
You have to build your own worth
You know your weaknesses and strengths,
Schedule your work and make a routine,
Because at the end it’s your win.

The red string of fate
Ties around her finger
Binding her to a life
A world not any Kinder
Blazed to an extent
Yet she stands brave
A blossom so pure,so rare
A woman of charecter
She was there for everyone
Developed a few mates
Maybe a friend or foe
A voice soft as roses
Mane of pure haze
A beauty so precious
Puts even Venus to shame
But the truth tis her soul
A blanket of comfort
Stands here a warrior
Exterior of a maiden
Yet, soul of a fighter

-The higher you fly-

I believe my heart is an abandoned house

Mountains are the only friends I’ve got

Pine trees know better;

What future’s trying to hide

I believe my life’s a fairy tale

Waiting for someone to notice;

Waiting for someone to tell

I believe it was all a lie

you always fall harder

the higher you fly

We swapped seats in train,
You by the window, and me in vain.
You wanted to see the world outside,
And I wanted to stare at you with pride.

The train chugged on, and you saw the sights,
The mountains, the rivers, the city lights.
You pointed and smiled, in awe of the view,
While I stole glances, admiring you.

Your eyes shone bright, with each passing scene,
I couldn’t help but think how lucky I’ve been,
To sit beside someone so full of life,
A companion to share this train ride.

We swapped seats in train,
And I got to see beauty in a different way,
Through your eyes, your smile, your delight,
A memory I’ll cherish, a moment so bright

She got off at her station,
And we parted ways, without hesitation.
Our time together, just a fleeting moment,
A shared experience, forever a component.

As she gathered her things, I couldn’t help but feel,
A sense of loss, as if something unreal.
We exchanged a smile, and a brief goodbye,
And then she left, without a tear or a sigh.

The train continued on, without her by my side,
And I couldn’t help but think, what if I had tried?
To make a connection, to ask for her name,
But it was too late, the moment had gone, the opportunity lame.

We swapped seats in train,
And for a moment, our lives intertwined.
Now as I look out the window, alone,
I wonder if our paths will ever again be entwined.

The sun was shining and I just opened my eyes
you were the only moon to my scary darkest nights
Pouring these liquid into glasses
Still remember Thoes smiles and unforgettable highlights

Deep pain and thoes broken hopes
You just washed all the tears it was raining though
All day long sitting under the tree
Sky changed it color as dark as me

I thought I couldn’t take another breath
I thought I would die if I took another step
I poured all my love in a bottomless pit
At last I got stabbed

Still dreaming of you doesn’t make me bad
Late night gazing does make me sad
Last goodbye wasn’t that good for me
We ended up on bad note
It wasn’t you it was me

Yes she’s lost
Lost in his soul
She’s occupied by the darkness
The darkness of his eyes
She’s covered by shadows
The warmth shadows of his love
She’s broken
Broken free from all the darkness

Rich blue sapphires, and delicate asters
grow in my empty heart.
September-
the leaves will change it’s colour soon,
bright red with darker and colder nights,
I never liked Summers.

I learnt to make hot chocolate,
with a huge scoop of vanilla,
the brown syrup melting it in,
dripping water in my mouth.
The aesthetic scene looks so beautiful.

I read a romance novel, with smiles and tears in my eyes,
every page is a rollercoaster,
with confessions
and gorgeous lies.

I made myself a banana cake, with
cherries dipped in sugar crystals,
clicked a picture of it with burning candles,
and turned fifteen, nothing special.

The asters will wilt soon, mixing
with the rotten soil, the sapphires will get scratched by dull diamonds.
But every day I spent with them will remain in my heart,
as the memories are too precious and divine.

Each individual with different likes,
Is unique in their own style,
Then why do still exist these stereotypes,
Of people considered to be smart and wise?

Different taste, different interests,
Different fields in which each excels,
Then why are people made to feel low
Forced to believe they are worthless and slow?

Try to change the ones born to be star,
Judge others without knowing who they actually are,
So why do these people forget,
The real thing to be changed is their own mindset?

its been feeling so distant
even w you near me
it feels so far away
although u are w me

i feel like that little girl
thinking why doesn’t anyone want me
i feel like a little joke
thinking why does everyone laugh at me

i don’t know how to feel
about this whole situation
i don’t know how to deal
w this whole infatuation

how could i leave you
you’re my home
but you feel so distant
its like you’re gone

—-PASSION—
Day and night, I think of being elite!
Every morning and evening, I want to strengthen my might!
want to take a lofty flight
Dreams to become a wealthy guy
I know I have passion inside
Procrastination and fantasies are my enemies
hard work is companion beside,
I ask people around,
To help me find my ground!
But no one knows, How capable I am?
At the end Passion is the key I found.
I love to hover around,
Like a man think about, possibilities to overcome my doubts,
Then quickly settles down
Put my feet on the ground
I know I have passion inside
Will win the world with my might !!!

As the lights go out
And the batteries become dead
That’s when we get out
To cherish the moments we never had
Enjoy the breeze and thunder
And live in the moment
Only for the moment to be momentary
As the lights come back
And we go back

In a tapestry of life, two souls entwined,
A tale unfolds, their hearts combined,
A girl and a boy, their destinies meet,
In a dance of love, so pure and sweet.

They walk through fields, hand in hand,
Creating memories, a love unplanned,
With whispered words and stolen glances,
Their connection deepens, fate advances.

In her eyes, he finds a world so true,
A haven of solace, a sky of blue,
He’s the pillar of strength in her stormy sea,
A shelter of love where she can be free.

And in his arms, she finds her solace,
A sanctuary of warmth and promise,
He’s the rock on which her dreams reside,
A love that stands, never to subside.

Through whispered secrets and shared desires,
Their souls ignite like passionate fires,
A symphony of two hearts in tune,
Creating melodies beneath the moon.

Together they laugh, together they weep,
Through valleys low and mountains steep,
A partnership built on trust and respect,
A love story that the world shall reflect.

As time unfolds and chapters are told,
Their love story continues, never grows old,
For in each other’s arms, they have found,
A love eternal, forever profound.

An Year where Prayers were unheard,
Life was miserable
and everything was so dull,
The most hated year
yet we could actually bear,
we have seen deaths and depression
with so less affection,
Here is the time to say goodbye,
and welcome a happy 2021,
Hope this year brings us
Happiness and joy,
and we could actually mean what we say
“HAPPY NEW YEAR”

Fulfill your desire,
Ignite the fire,
Bat through the tough times,
Sometimes it’s 263, sometimes 49.
Life can put you in a pickle,
Laugh through like it’s a tickle,
Whether you get a hundred or a duck,
Life goes on, don’t get stuck.
There is no map.
Ride the tide,
You are your own guide.

In the realm of dreams, where words take flight,
I weave a tapestry of verses tonight.
A poem, a melody, a symphony of emotions,
Let my words dance, painting vibrant notions.

In the golden dawn’s embrace, let us begin,
Where the sun’s rays kiss the earth, akin.
The birds serenade, their songs unfurled,
Nature’s poetry, a harmonious world.

Whispering winds carry secrets in their breeze,
Murmuring tales of love, longing, and ease.
They sing of distant lands, of mountains high,
Of rivers flowing, reflecting the endless sky.

Beneath the moon’s gentle glow, I ponder,
The depth of night, a tranquil wonder.
Stars sprinkle the canvas, like diamonds above,
Guiding lost souls with their shimmering love.

In the symphony of life, we find our rhyme,
The rhythm of hearts, beating in time.
Through joys and sorrows, our spirits soar,
Creating verses that resonate forevermore.

So let the pen dance upon the empty page,
Ink bleeding passion, releasing its cage.
For poetry is the language of the soul,
A timeless expression, making us whole.

White colored roses
cough black blood
when I pin them in your
intricate braid,
thick, rattling like
a snake in my misty
eyes;
hissing, hiding
two-three wicked deeds
I’m afraid to push
my hand inside
your nest,
terrified
of what I could
find.

I’m happy being blind.

Floating in your biting love
If only for a while
I’m happy being
Blind.

Sometimes I feel like I’m trapped in a cage
With no time to breathe or to turn the page
But sometimes I feel like it’s better this way
To avoid the thoughts that haunt me every day

Sometimes I feel like I’m drowning in noise
With no space to think or to make a choice
But sometimes I feel like it’s safer to hide
To drown out the voices that hurt me inside

Sometimes I feel like I’m longing for more
With no one to love or to care or adore
But sometimes I feel like it’s easier to cope
To lower my expectations and give up hope

Sometimes I feel like I’m overwhelmed and alone
A paradox of feelings that I can’t own
But maybe I need to hear a word of grace
To remind me that I have a place in this space

And all I do is miss you
and the way we used to be
All I do is keep the beat
the bad company
All I do is kiss you
through the bars of a rhyme
Julie, I’d do the stars with you any time..

Set my soul on fire
I beg of thee,
Confined as it is,
Beneath wounds, and blood
Thorns and mud,
A sturdy citadel.
All in ice, I promise of you
You will not break it
You will not dig through.
It is in itself built of might
Built stronger each breath
By pain, and by spite.
That it no longer feels alive
Numb to all that gives life
In pursuit to numb,
All of that which took mine.

Set my soul on fire,
I beg of thee.
I have gone cold long enough
That I miss the pain of being burned alive.
Why is my path dreary
This way no thorn to spike
No trees alive
No stars that shine.
Am I to embrace but the dull of life?
An ascetics way
Is it what you have chose for me?
A dull Grey stitched abrupt, the tapestry.

Set my soul on fire
I beg of thee.
For nothing strokes my curiosity
Nothing finds me joy,in truth
In lies, there is no solace to find.
Nothing touches my soul anymore
Nothing to amaze, to surprise
To love, nor to let my blood rise.
What is this numbness
I have brought upon myself
I know not it’s depth or expanse.
I thought it a weakness to feel
But not to feel, is to cut wings
Of a bird of flight.

I seek the sin of desire
The urge to feel
To make a stone bleed
To make a thorn sing
To feel the warmth of the winter wind.
To burn snowflakes, to set the water free.
Set my soul on fire,
I beg of thee.

In the depths, I’ll keep myself afloat,
Though saving myself from drowning may be remote.
Sailing back to safety seems out of sight,
Yet paddling on may yield skills to ignite.

The priority lies in ensuring help is secure,
Rescuing others from the waves, we endure.
I’ll embrace patience, for I know its power,
A reminder that waiting can be my finest hour.

The shore awaits, its embrace drawing near,
The current, a benevolent force to steer.
I’ll persist in floating, with unwavering might,
Until the blue abyss teaches me to ride the light.

Across to the other side, my journey unfolds,
Sooner or later, I’ll reach the promised threshold.
With each moment, my resilience will grow,
As I encounter the turf, a renewed spirit will show.

It’s been a long time for me to be longing for home,
The world needs progress,
Constant progress,
Constant betterment,
Steady is labeled as wood and dead,
And resting is nothing but cowardly.
You gotta run
You gotta excellence
You can’t be respected if you are tired
Trying is not enough, at all.
Win at what you do or there is no ‘OR’

I want a home to stay lil far from this,
A home that can hug me and won’t let me feel worse about myself,
A home that won’t put its love as a reward after a successful result.
I want a home that’ll remind me I am enough.

Best friend

You,
You are my heart,
You are where I start.
And my only end,
No matter if I pretend.
That i don’t like you,
It would be no true.
And it would be no false,
If I say I won’t let you fall.
It is my only fear,
Every second every day and year,
That I might lose you dear.
It has not been long since we are together,
I have seen relationships longer than ours and how they shatter.
The reason I laugh is you,
And you make me cry too.
Our bond is so strong,
That we can never go wrong.
May the tides of lies flow,
May the winds of deceive blow,
It won’t affect us
I will never let you go.
I love you so……..,
You can never know.
You’re more than best friend to me,
You’re a part of my life
You’re always gonna be.

Will I ever feel secure in my own skin?
Will I ever be able to accept everything the way it is?
Why do I always feel so low?
Why do I always feel like I’m never enough?
No one has to plant these seeds of self doubt in me when I do such a good job at it myself
Then why, even when everyone says otherwise, do I still feel the same?
I got a guy who says he loves me but why do his actions never show that?
They say they’re just friends then why can’t I accept it?
He spends all his free time with her and when I ask, he’s busy
When she’s with him, he forgets that I exist, then what’s the point of me?
Am I just to use? And I just to play?
Do I have no meaning in his life? Am I just a stray?
I care, I love, I worry, I give it all
I don’t get anything back, it makes me feel so small
All I ever wanted was stability and to belong
Yet I don’t feel that way and it’s an end I’m trying to prolong
Everything is temporary, even he’ll leave someday
It can never happen, no one ever wants to stay
He’ll see my darkness, he’ll see how unhappy I am
My smile is fake and this joy is just a scam
I’m a brooding soul, empty and black
I have nothing to offer, just a bunch of words ready to attack
I’m a failure, a bad person and no good at all
I’m just a little hermit in this world so tall.

I thought you were my pink or my yellow
A one who is my mellow
And with the brink of me giving up on you
Led me to realise that yeah
The words you said
” You are my person, you are my blue”
Are all dead
With The things becoming worse and worsen
Only then it clear my view
Yeah you were my red
My red full with
Impatience and
Love full with me
Yeah,
You were mine
Cuz you were a rainbow full of colors
My Pink, yellow, Red and Blue
My joy my kind my rue with the light
And in the Day and night
In my mellow, my blues
You were all mine.
