In Idle Hours

In idle hours, I think of you:

I think what she might be up to.

What fancy must have caught her eye

Or what moment would she be shy?

I will miss every glimpse of you

or when my love will spill its hue,

I will be all the more benign

and our heartbeats will align.

·

The dewdrops on the berry leaf

are the shooers of the grief

you and I shared in silent hours

like those wilting, fading flowers.

The bark of apple tree too knows

that how we munched on bliss in woes.

Sheltered under that Banyan tree,

I sought the glistening face of thee.

·

I have now grown two moments' old

and found this letter gild in gold.

I have all. What bliss is amiss!

All happy thoughts I reminisce

come flooding back as I recall

when I fell for you on that fall.

Lust

Oh you exquisite thing! A dainty rose; petals so tender. Wandering every square inch of you, I pry open like a hungry thing. Tracing my lips over the length of your tongue, I hold you close. Feasting on you, my heart flutters and flutters. I relinquish with joy, to yell out your name over and over. Oh you fine little human, A goddess; shaped perfect.

Retard

It's late and I am just staring at a wall Listening to music, pillow in a ball  Not many friends to call  Dreaming to fly, still just crawl

It was a normal day until it all started  Everyone got up and just departed  Thanks to Diwali snacks, I might have farted  But this shouldn't be a reason to call me retarded

For a moment I thought to get away from this crowd Wanted to smoke but I am not allowed  Its all in tradition so I bowed  Let me tell you there was no respect throughout

So now I spend most of my time in solitude Trying to get rid of incertitude  Crystal clear thoughts yet very illude Constantly flowing still kinda statued

Further I am not sure what to write Actually I should just sleep tonight Its 4 A.M and behind these words I hide  Or Maybe I am just a retard inside

Express

Steel-on-steel lullaby. Green, serene, that's seen through glass Rushing past my second-class Home. A long goodbye. A rest. A smile that's smiled unseen. A glance. A life that might have been.

Untold Tales

Every person has a story to tell, A tale of love or one of hell, Of heartbreak, triumph, joy or strife, A journey that shapes their life.

Each one carries a unique past, A tapestry of moments that last, Some filled with laughter, some with pain, Memories etched deep within their brain.

And if we take the time to see, To hear their story, to let it be, We'll find a glimpse of who they are, And the things that have left a scar.

For every person we meet each day, Is more than what meets the eye, A collection of stories, old and new, Waiting to be shared with me and you.

So let us be kind, and take the time, To listen and to truly find, The little things they hold so dear, The memories they cherish, year by year.

For in those stories we may find, A kindred spirit, a common bind, And through their eyes we'll see the world, And find connections, new and old.

So next time you see a person pass, Take a moment, do not be fast, And listen to their story told, The one that's etched in their soul.

For every person has a tale to tell, A story of love, of heaven or hell, And if we listen, we just might see, A little piece of ourselves, in them, set free.

"you scratched my scars

I still held you close to my chest

I was bleeding,

hurting,

holding on,

while I wished you all the best"

It felt like

The peace which I've been chasing

The happiness I deserve

Full moon moon and full sun in sthe sky

A quote I wanting to say

A quote you've been saying

A quote I've been ignoring

A quote you've been suppressing

An closure of hearts and feelings

An unheard melody

A misunderstood lyric

A white line in my grey area

A painting lacking your color

A spoken love letter

A written confession

A kiss on fresh scar

A bandaid for the heartache

A beginning and an end

It all started the same

A moment when puzzle pieces fall together

And two galaxies meet

The lips touched each other

I reached heaven again

The reality is pleasing sometimes as well.
