Some people say,
"I wish you were
taller"
Some people say,
"I wish your nose was a
bit bigger."
Some people say,
"I wish your lips were
smaller"
Some people say,
"I wish you were more
creative"
Some people say,
"I wish you were more
Intelligent"


But I say,
"Your Imperfection is also a
perfection for me
"
I think if I were a boy so I would impress all the girls. Being a girl and writing poems like a boy is  thrilling to me.

When I asked the moon,
“Why are you always compared with beauty?”
Maybe it's because
I am the ugliest.

When I asked the rose,
“Why are you the first gift in love?”
Maybe it's because
I meant to end it.
Even they lied

is comfort silence?
is loosing everything silence?
is having money silence?
is happiness silence ?
is death silence?
I’m searching for silence, but my silence is missing from this cosmos.

Deep as the dark,
Life is turning colourless like the sea.
Time is running like light,
The brain not responding—like it's dead.

The silent voice of the cosmos
Feels like destruction.
In this small galaxy, I am just dust.

Whenever I write, the heart says:
"Write a few more words...
Few more...
More...
More...
Infinity."
in search of happiness
Your voice, haunting
A dark forest in the night,
rooted in legend.

Wings

One day, i am going to grow wings,
And leave this place behind and never look back.
One day, i am going to grow wings,
And live as myself forever.
One day, I am going to grow wings,
And be the person I needed then.
One day, I am going to grow wings,
And not be scared of the height.
One day, i am going to grow wings,
And be free.

My wings will be big,
To support the weight of my grief.
My wings will be large,
To have the stability i never had.
My wings will be clean,
To remind me of the dirt in my soul.
My wings will be strong,
To fly high and fast from the depths of myself.
My wings will be light,
To make me feel like i never even had them in the first place.

In a fantasy world,
My soul is pure.
In a fantasy world,
My heart isn't hurting when left alone.
In a fantasy world,
My mind isn't my enemy.
In a fantasy world,
My existence isn't something to fight for.
In a fantasy world,
I will grow wings.

Admire them from afar,
Like the beautiful constellation they are.
You want to feel them close,
But is it worth it?

Your eyes will melt,
And your skin will burn.
You will turn into dust,
While they keep on shining and sinning
With their mere existence.

Is the cost of turning into ashes worth it,
Just to feel them close for a brief moment?
Where their brightness makes your irises explode,
And the heat makes your soul melt?

Is it all worth it,
Knowing it will end you and erase your timeline,
While this is just another fleeting moment
In the endless light of their life?
I've revisited this one... I think it sounds better now.
Spontaneously, I start
Free-styling poetry for my friend.

I end up thinking,
"I can't believe I said that out loud,"

But then it hits me, deep down, that
I wish there was a crowd.

I've been to a few open mics, and
It was nice to share what I write.

My legs shake on stage.
I gave up trying to control it.

I'm proud in spite of
The way I look afraid.

I refuse to hide it
When my legs shake.
sometimes when i miss my mother
i feel for the pulse on the wrist of my wife
hers is steady and strong
  
waiting there
as my mother slowly slipped away
a nurse taught me how to find the pulse

in her final moments
when she stopped breathing
her heart ceased beating
and her pulse faded away
i felt it in my fingertips

so now

sometimes when i miss my mother
i feel for the pulse on the wrist of my wife
hers is steady and strong  
and i know exactly where to find it
