broken souls

dead dreams

wandering

soaked in the lie of life

hoping to find shelter

the shelter of hope

screaming the heart out

all inside the heart

dark night

waiting

for the stars to brighten

the faded lines of fate 

carved on the palms 

of the hands

which have committed

the sin of loving the wrong

seeking forgiveness

craving to go to the arms 

where they truly belong

Turning the pages of my diary
I always stop at the same story
It's about the sea, the rain, the hills
Reading it again, it still gives me chills
So here is how my story goes
Here is how strangers come close

The night was dark, the stars were bright
The tides were high, it was midnight
I couldn't sleep so I went for a walk
I sat by the sea on an huge rock
The waves sung me a lullaby
I lied in the sand, eyes on the sky

I don't know when I fell asleep
But woke up when the sky began to weep
I saw a hand approaching mine
That face had a distinct shine 
Our eyes locked in the scarlet sky
I still remember his scent, I'm not going to lie.

to a friend who needs it

Running away from a situation is easy.
It takes you so far from the reality.
But let's face it:
You are still thinking about it while you lie on the misty grass. The thought never ever leaves you.
It rather takes you to a strange place.
Where the sky is dark grey no matter if it's noon or night. There is a moon and there are a few stars but they can't get you out of that darkness now because you left that light far behind you. You chose to run from it.
You will find those clouds appealing, you may approach them so you're not lonely. But darling let me tell you, rain is only beautiful when you have a shelter, and you have come so far from home, that you just shouldn't. Because this rain will make you cold, and you will not have the warmth of the stars you ran from.
REALISE.
IT'S NOT TOO LATE.   

 

Yes, it was true
that heavy shade of blue
in her smile.
That tint of red
in her eyes.
You see.
but don't realize.
Why will you?
you don't care!

Yes, it was true
that heavy shade of blue 
in her smile.
But that laughter...
Oh that laughter!
It got me carried away
it was magical!

Call Me

Call me 

And talk to me for hours

About the night sky

And the glittering stars.

Call me 

And talk to me for hours

About your dreams and passions 

And the mission Mars.

Call me

And talk to me for hours 

About your fierce fights

And your hidden scars.

Call me 

And talk to me for hours 

About your drunk days

And nights at bars.

Call me 

And talk to me for hours

About how you need me

And mine and yours to be ours.

                                      

Those ocean eyes

carry a lot of weight 

of that saline water. 

Those cloudy lips 

hide the real sky 

wearing that lightening smile.

Those hazel locks

cover it all up.

Pretending, she is.

                      Ignoring, you are.                       

                             

                                 -why?

Daydreaming

The sky was changing its colours when he came and lied next to me. It was from orange to lilac, then from lilac to royal blue. It was cloudy and windy. I could hear the rustling leaves. The cool breeze was caressing my body. I could feel his arm touching mine. The winds were getting chilly so instinctively I started to rub my arms. He then, gave me a look. The "I'm not giving you my jacket because I'm not wearing any" look. We stared at each other for a little too long, to not fall in love. We smiled, for no reason I believe. Then I looked back at the sky again. It was black, the wind had taken away the amorphous grey clouds with it. I could see the stars now. He turned his body towards me. I had butterflies in my tummy but guess who's good at hiding feelings? Well it's definitely not me. So I started to blush ugh I hate to admit. I tried to look at him sneakily but he caught me. The night grew darker, we came a little closer. Our eyes met, they did the talking. He knew it was me, and I knew it was him. The time was right, the place was beautiful, and we were meant to be together. 

You and I

The lilac sky, the vivifying breeze

This enchanting fairyland, you're on your knees!

The sunset, the red rose

You and I, we come close.

Paralysis By Over-Analysis

As I was scrolling down through my camera roll, I happened to come across an old picture of me and two of my best friends from fifth grade. The picture was of the time when we received our scholar badges. Lit up faces, wide smile and teeth out like crescent moon. Arms wrapped around each other as if we would never let each other go. It seemed like forever. It was literally the best feeling ever. Reminiscing about that time, a tingling feeling grew inside me. Then I happened to see something in the background, I don't remember what, but it aroused my curiosity. It made me zoom into that picture. Something which grabbed my attention but *sighs* took away that tingling feeling of excitement. So I zoomed and zoomed and zoomed till a point came and everything became blurry and so very unclear.  
Suddenly I came up with this perception that like I zoomed into a picture just to see something so very irrelevant but the picture lost its focus and became blurry, similarly we sometimes overthink about things that hardly matter to us and keep pondering upon them, but we don't realize that we lose focus and  derail from our real motives. So the whole purpose becomes blurry and unclear and inconsistent ideas loosen our confidence. It's good to think deep. It's good to analyse. It's good to criticize. It's good to surmise. But some things are so irrelevant, trivial and insignificant that they are not worth our time and  our mind but we still keep wondering about it and we still keep our mind busy with something so very trifling. Because of which we lose our time. Because of which we lose our mind. And in that deep thinking process we fail to notice so many significant things in our life. We ignore those little moments of joy. We disregard those things that may actually really matter to us. We lose that tingling feeling inside us. We get absorbed in those deep thoughts so badly that they make us forget about everything else. Everything else starts to seem so petty that we snub all the fun.

I didn't, You did.

I didn't leave you

I never wanted to

But you left

When you said that you were tired

Tired of all the drama

I didn't leave, you left

Ran away and found comfort in someone else

I kept running after you

But sometimes I get tired too

So I stopped

Stopped running and got accused

Accused of infidelity

I laughed inside and stepped aside

I realised you're not my cup of tea

You told me I wasn't good enough

But baby I know that I'm the best

Your mind may think that I'm a bluff

But heart sure knows that I ain't like the rest

Moving On

Forceful conversation

Forceful love

Unnecessary irritation 

I was never good enough

Nothing lasts forever 

This grief is everlasting however

I wish I could control plus zed

All the sins that I committed

How on earth can everything be alright 

When we have been holding these grudges so tight

Let go if it hurts so bad

Let go if it makes you sad

Don't hold on to him 

Let him go

Life will be dim

But only for a day or so

Brilliance awaits life's great ahead

Don't cry for the past, smile instead

Love yourself and everything will be fine

Enjoy your life, watch the stars shine
