The Kid Dreamt
Vishnu Teja Nov 2018
The kid dreamt
Day and night
Running sprints, walking miles
Talking to himself, gathering smiles

The kid dreamt
In rain and in sun
Sweating in heat, splashing the mud
Riding his bike, planting his spud

The kid dreamt
A world entirely different
With love and joy, chocolates and cake
A world where one can enjoy a view by the lake

Where songs are sung, because they are fun
Where happiness is for every one

Such a world the kid dreamt
But childhood ran like a bike down a hill
And he woke up aged
weak by the heart and weak by the bone
Worrying about the million dollar loan

He knew the kid was long gone,
Only a thought , trying to stay in the brain
Remembering those days played in the rain
Those shells collected in the beach
Shoving them in to pocket one and each
The kid is long gone!!

Rain & Hurricane
Vishnu Teja Jul 2015
Till I met her, I knew
I was the most *******
appreciated By few
among Thousands I knew

And then Every thing changed
the day I met her
upside down, Every thing turned

Her madness, Unlimited
rushed my Adrenaline
Her crazy Deeds, unimaginable
gave Me goosebumps
Her love, Unprecedented
filled life in  my life

She is my boon
She is My Bane
If people were Rain
I was Drizzle
She was Hurricane
Thanks to John Green for
(a) introducing the concept of "Random Capitalization"
and
(b) the last three lines of the poem

Distant and Close
Vishnu Teja Jul 2015
Some stupid questions
always haunt me,
and all the lessons
they have taught me!

How distant is the distance?
How distant is distance?
Why are distances so distant?
How close is the closeness?
How close is close?
Why is closeness so close?

Stupid questions haunt

How close is distant?
How distant is close?
Why is this closeness so distant?
Why is this distance so close?

Lessons they taught

What is distant is what is close.
What is close is what is distant.

Some stupid lessons
I have taught
myself; more stupid questions
rise to haunt

Asymptotes
Vishnu Teja Jun 2015
We have it
We don't
We are never together
Even though it's meant

Like the rails of broad gauge,
seemingly meet at infinity!
Like the borders of earth and sky,
appearing to meet at the horizon!
You are a hyperbola;
I'm your asymptotes.
We'd meet for sure, Only after an eternity!

Keep Dreaming, Stay Young
Vishnu Teja Jun 2015
If you ever ask me
"How old are you?"
I'd say, "Do you mean, How Young am I?"
Because old is a word I hate
Getting old is never my fate

I am always young,
Every second, minute and day
I dream, I dream
Till you dream, young you'll stay

Young is a state of being,
It's not the number of years you survived
but the number of years you lived,
not just by breathing
but dreaming

Dream big, dream small
never worry to take a fall

Till you dream, young you'll stay
days come, days go; They may
dream at night, during day
Till you dream, young you'll stay

Eat!Cry!Smile!
Vishnu Teja Jun 2015
Life is simple
We need not master it
Appreciate the beauty for a while
Eat!Cry!Smile!
Eat!Cry!Smile!

Fall in love, fall out
Fail in love, bail out
Tall or short, be crazy
Thin or fat, be lazy
Be jealous, be fabulous

Jump the borders
Climb the walls
run the distance
Walk the mile
Eat!Cry!Smile!
Eat!Cry!Smile!

Be stupid, be clever
Live now, or never
Be calm, be loud
Stay low, stay proud

We need not master it
life doesn't always make sense
just like my poem
but let the thoughts be dense
with no place for tense

Eat!Cry!Smile!
Eat!Cry!Smile!

Let me know
Vishnu Teja May 2015
Let me know baby,
Let me know
If you want, I’ll make it snow
All you have to do is let me know

If the darkness of the night scares you,
Don’t fear my dear
Will lighten up the sky with the moon
If the heat of the day burns you
I’ll bring down the sun before it is noon
If you want, I’ll even make it rain
Even though it isn’t yet monsoon

Let me know baby,
Let me know
If you want, I’ll make it snow
All you have to do is let me know

If you want to win the world,
I’ll be there by your side,
When with you I disregard the time and tide

Let me know baby,
Let me know
If you want, I’ll make it snow
All you have to do is let me know

In those thoughts
Vishnu Teja Apr 2015
Every night before i go to bed
To my self I said
Why can't I get you outta my head
outta my head

When I kissed those lips
tender as rose, scarlet red
each second slowed down
as I counted

That silky hair I brushed
from your soft forehead
Those slender arms I held
As my heart rose from the dead

Will I ever forget that
days spent with no second thought
Even now when I walk alone
In the thoughts, I am always caught

Why can't I get you outta my head
outta my head

My Companion
Vishnu Teja Jun 2014
It was dark inside, it was a black out
no way in sight, nothing to think about
I struck a match and lit a roll
thinking "the f*ck, let the time take it's toll"

Each time I took a drag,
the more I dove within my self, deep
I felt like, with unbreakable faith
I'm just taking a bigger leap
but some where I know its the end
my heart was broken, beyond the ability to mend

My friend, my love, my eternal companion
burning it self to bring me peace
trying to pull me out of the oblivion
how not could I thank you
this lonely man's life is nothing but pain with out you

here goes the final breath
of the roll and mine too
thank you an infinity
thank you my love, my eternal companion
thanks for trying to pull me out of the oblivion

— The End —
