A meeting 
Coincidental, was it destiny?
I don't know ...
For life we swore 
To be together
Did we see the future?
I don't know ....
But what we shared
And how we cared
The trust we built
The conversations we spared
Are etched in my brain
To this day
Long after you ,
Are gone
But how do I untangle this mess?
I don't know....

On my way to Hell

 On my way to Hell

On my visit to Earth
I met a girl
As bubbly as joyous was she
She filled her hearts with miniscule memories
Her job was to buy smiles
Smiles on the faces who had never tasted one
Though her honey brown eyes had another story 
A story that she wrote herself
In a journal so secret that she hid it in her heart
And locked it forever to throw the keys far apart
But I am lucky for I'm a devil
And have these tricks up my sleeve
Sneaking my way to her heart
Did I read her diary from the start
It said
"I'm a girl who loves birthdays
For that gives me an opportunity to do my job
Dancing is my passion and singing is something
That I would like to my profession.... no no
Singing is my compassion"
Leafing through her careful words did I turn the page
As it read
" I love this world,  not the real world
The realm of movies and music
Though I can't get there 
But I can live it 
Live it in my dreams, in my sleep
And escape this despotic rule of reality"
And then her writings trembled
A sign of fear in her handwriting swelled up
"I have nightmares,
It makes me feel lonely
As if I lose everyone around me
As if I'll always be this way,
Even though I like making friends
But then everything ends up like jerks
I don't want to feel like this"
As a tear drop started rolling through my eye
I scooped it off my cheek
And planted a the tear in her hear,
For it would have smudged the fragile red ink
But now there would be a tree
A tree full of happy memories in her heart
That she'll enjoy even though when I'm not in her heart
Moving forward to the next page did I realise
The pages from this part were very frail
And the ink very new
It read
"I lost you,
Was it my mistake or yours
I do not care, I was happy and I wanted to be
But then why did this happen
And only happen to me
This was my fear
And now it seems defeat
But I assure you my dear my life is still not complete"
The rest of the pages were filled with awkard silence
A silence she hated, something she confiscate
And then flipping the book closed
Did I lock it again, 
Only to leave the key that I found in her heart again
Hanging it on the tree of happiness
On the toppest branch so
It was out of reach of anyone who didn't try too hard
For such a soul needs a lot of affection to start
To start to believe again
To breathe and walk freely again,
Escaping her heart now I witnessed it was night.
I planted a kiss on her forehead
Did I bid her a goodnight
Only to turn back
On my way to Hell.
 
With eyes glued to her book
The zeal in her eyes matched 
The vibrant blue of the cover
Flipping the pages without expression
She did not portray any emotion
But just as her dangling earrings
Her eyes too followed a rhythm
A rhythm from the song of the heart
Did her journey as a protagonist really start
Then did she live 
A million lives
Lives she never thought she would ever
And experience every feeling
All the lows and highs
Cherishing every moment
As she breathed them and said goodbye.....

Negative


Negative 

In a room that's dark
But is lit with light of the colour of love
A place where memories develop
Clothlines hung across the room
In patterns ranging from checks to a spider's web
But not cloths hang on it
But negatives
The same negatives that keep
Moments alive
Long after we've lived them but
But so that we could live them once..... 
 
Do all the feelings have names
For sometimes the words don't fall out
Or I don't understand what I'm feeling
Empty or Full
Elated or dull
Ecstatic or Rue
I don't understand
Something inside me twitches, but I don't know what
Lonely is the self inside
For it itself doesn't company itself sometimes
Why does this happen
I don't understand
Beneath there is a volcano full of magma
But the elves calm it down
In the fear of stigma, tags and what not
For what will shower is just tears and not lava or dust
But why do I stop myself
I don't understand.

Clouds

 Clouds

No shapes 
Many sizes
Vivid colours, do they possess
The sky is their home
And wind their bus
They travel the earth
And quench the parched
Also do they provide shade
To the ones who are scorched
But then the notorious ones
Block my view 
My view of the stars
 

With arms and feet pointing in
the same direction
Laying up in the blanket of stars
Did we dose off
Only to meet again 
In our dreams
Where we talked to the stars
The whole night
Pointing at them, 
Playing with them
Laughing with them
And crying wirh them
But soon after
Did the rooster hoot
Snapped us out of the dream
In a way that
You saw me and I saw you.

Floccinaucinihilipilification

Floccinaucinihilipilification

Long sentences I make
But they don't make sense
For my sense is non - sense
Because people who have common sense
Don't take effort to make sense of what feels to me 
Just common sense . 

With you 
I shared my pillowtalk
With you
I shared my works
With you
 I shared my memory
A memory from a night
A night where in
The melodies of piano and the lyrics of Until I found you
Soothed our ears and 
The vision of the half yellow tinted moon 
Soothed our nights
And soon after that
We said each other goodnights.... 

Sleeptalk

 Sleeptalk

I,
I speak truth
Truth that no one has ever heard
For the ones who heard it don't exist in this realm
Because they stay in the realm of my dreams
But I am the bridge
Or better my words
For I 
Sleeptalk

Kaleidoscope

Kaleidoscope

Once there was a boy
A boy broken and shattered
With expectations and thoughts
Vortexes from which he couldn't escape,
So he hid himself in the dark
Wearing a cape.
But to every night there's
A Dawn 
And so walked a ray of sunshine
A fairy, who knew how to mend tales of thoughts
And so did she 
As she waved her wand of words 
And soon did they start showing their magic
As the boy's eyes glimmered with rays of hope
Showing him the beauty of life's
Kaleidoscope.
