Sometimes, I simply think of colours, you know. The world is so complex, the human brain and the ocean unexplored, wars and marriages are battling with its side effects and a lot of good goes ignored, so sometimes, instead of Newton, I think of colours. Like black. What if black is just the ink squeezed from a blind man's dreams? And yellow, the Sun's abominable hot **** What if Snow White was just a Snow"man", a 5 year old created but forgot to add the nose to? Was it Olaf disguised as Charming who broke the sleeping curse with "true love's kiss"? You can hit the bandwagon and say "Haha! Then, white is an angel's **** And I could believe you! I'm a believer! I'm also a wild guesser! I'm the harlot of semantics, or whatever that is. I have never met a naive gold digger, except of course, a gullible beggar. I hate vulnerability, but then I hate strength too, because I revel in crying and feeling my face wet and pretty secretly waiting for a stranger's **** to give me sympathy. Let me tell you something today. You can give me food, clothing, warmth and a shelter to sleep under, but if you can't give me peace, comfort and acceptance, my world inside my mind and soul is a thunder waiting to erupt once I lose you and never bother to come back. I would care less for love in fact. I guess I'll go searching for a Kentucky's to ravish on a chicken leg with my legs up and heave a sigh of having found solace in no bra! I see a rosary dangling down a fat woman's pious chest and I think of Jesus Christ. 70% of the world's population celebrate the man who died on the cross and topped it off with resurrection And then again, I think of valiant soldiers who die on the borders trying to protect their nation Who are grieved and honoured for a day, no, not celebrated no! They are forgotten. This ******* contrived sense of sacrifice and nationalism is causing to humanity, its suffering and damnation. Eve offered and Adam ate! Stupid snake! Because, when I didn't know any better I was too scared to ********** All these esoteric questions and theories and debates and elocutions and apologetics and guesses, what's the ******* point? The sanctimonious have the God of gaps, the Spaghetti monster for the iconoclastics and then we have the ********** with a  purpose to save the planet from overuse of plastics! "There's a lot wrong with this world today and we MUST change IT!", asserts a 14 year old onstage in an air conditioned school, where hundreds have gathered in an international thinktank for "imitating truce". What is maturity? Tenacity? Or Acuity? Do you understand subjectivity? So, just because I'm 20 now, it's hilarious to still watch me drinking milk instead of "adult tea"? I would rather listen to stories of people who've travelled the planet and lived to tell about it all, than load Stories on Instagram of people who barely make it across the hall. And I wish I could say "Social media can **** my ***** Because in this planet of intelligent creatures, one gender accuses, the other waits and muses, so the former forms a movement, hoping for some improvement, but really all this is a sham. All of this? It's just entertainment. It's not about free will, it's about freedom. It's not about fear and dogma, it's about reason. It's about effortless loving with no condition. NO condition. My mother says all the time "Live and let live", and I believe this is the only greatest gift we can give, to people around us and unto us, also to forget and forgive.

The world will never change, I snigger knowing because there was just one thing the Priest said right, "And we all like sheep have gone astray."

She sat straight and suave by the bar counter. Her brown, wavy hair curved along her delicate waist. Her long and manicured fingers gently held her glass of whiskey and she took sips from it, gazing off into space. She likened the least bit of a celebrated model with high fashion looks or one of a potential bud waiting to be found, but she was beauty unfathomable. So intricately built was her face, that the matted lipstick on her full lips felt honored within its contours and peaks and the eyeliner sought delight in adding a magical depth to her dark brown eyes. But she sat there alone. She was the only glowing light in the dimly lit bar, in the form of an alluring pulchritude, but neither did she have any man flocking within inches of her nor any woman as company. “Sameer! 10 o’clock! In white. God, she’s a stunner!”, Ishaan remarked. “Not now, Ish. I need to send this e-mail to Jeff right now. Gotta impress that American and lock my possibility of a promotion.” said Sameer typing his e-mail with one hand and sipping his beer from another. “Then, we are off from here. Too tired to flirt tonight.”, Sameer responded in an unvarying tone. “I don’t know, man. There’s something about her. Who knows, she’d probably be far better than that chick you wooed last week.”, Ishaan laughed as he said. “The one who cuddled her teddy bear at the end of the night? I felt done, dude.”, Sameer sighed and continued tapping on his keypad. A few minutes later, Sameer veered his head off his smartphone and looked at the direction his friend had been pointing at with a curious expression only a man could produce. She sat there smiling at a group singing the Happy Birthday song aloud for their friend, clanging their beer bottles with each other’s and bellowing cheers. Whilst Sameer sat there staring. She was one of the most beautiful woman he had ever seen. Although, he realised he had associated himself with that statement before, but tonight, this woman raised the bar high. Almost as if struck by an intuition, she turned towards Sameer and their eyes locked for a few seconds before she let go with an innocent smile that almost seemed to ****** him. She continued to drink her glass of spirit and engaged herself in a small talk with the bartender. “Hey, um Ishaan?” “Yeah?” “Let’s go. Gulp your beer down, I’ll be waiting in the car.”, Sameer took one last look at that bedazzling woman and walked out of the bar with a heavy sigh. “You’re funny. A guy like you lets go of a girl who looked so worth the attention which you give to all the other stupid advances out there. Lame.”, Ishaan shook his head and almost looked disappointed. “Well, you should’ve given your shot, if you felt I was being an *** in there.”, Sameer pulled the car off the parking lot. “I don’t think I could have, actually. I could have, but I don’t think I could have, you know.” “What do you mean?” “You can’t deny it but she was fiercely intimidating.” Sameer looked at Ishaan and smiled. Watching the man leave the bar, she drank the last sip from her glass, placed it on the counter with a faint thud, sighed and eventually smiled, tucking the flick of her hair behind her ear.

Yarn.
Not yet, he wasn't entirely bare She was, but she didn't care Hungry, he grasped her breast and tasted its ***** crest The same process followed but his ***** never subdued Yet, today he had tears in his eyes and down there, a warm string of *** While she ****** and swallowed He drank a glass of ***

I want you to be the salt that tastes my flavorless skin Seeping into my pores refining every sinful piece And be my light and walk with me so my bare skin may shine with your glorious beam and stitch a garment with lovestruck seam.

Seamlessly, yours.
Teach your child to plant a tree than pluck one that was never her own entity but its own Teach your child to make a painting of a flower as a gift than give a bouquet that will die soon or instead teach her to give a sapling that will grow into a memory which will hold much power Teach your child to question than cower to vain rules and illogic that steal her playful affection and her artless frolic Teach your child to climb trees before the ladders to supreme echelon Teach her that when she collapses she must stand up with grace and poise like the shining sun for after the night is done laying its darkness it rises again the sun Teach your child the colors of mankind Yellow or Orange Red or Brown Black or White to accept each one everyone without the division of vanity of power or a crown Teach your child to create her own meaning of Love Teach her to listen to the story of every tear that bears grief and to speak aloud to bespeak wisdom and virtue in brief Teach your child about the freedom in and of the mind before she rebels to venture outside with people who care less about her kind but more about filling the space on a car seat Teach your child to believe in possibilities and have faith in the certainties of unlocking mysteries Teach her to fuel her curiosities Teach your child values that were not taught to the crowd then you will stand a mother full and proud.

Cognizance.
Have you seen her yet? haven’t you still met? the little girl that you bet would grow up to be a woman your favorite object? So she could marry a man whose beard covers his double chin and whose hair likens grayish and doddering lint? so she could be a piñata doll to the cane? a helpless dame to scoundrels who became guiltless sinners only to taste her breast and spit on her shame? When will you see her? this damsel you’ll set soon in distress but in the mind of whose you’ll set a dream of turning her into a mistress? You must be quite sly you’ll surely agree in your little trap she is much liable to sink that she can be as strong as a man or even Hercules but would she know that there would be no one when she would feel human and cry barely a soul around her to hear her pleas? That she is to trick herself into faking her real sentiment into a heartfelt grin because she will be nothing but a smiling condiment amid the flavorless crowd because how else can she make you proud? Will you tell her that she was born with her skin not to cover her body but to cover it again by animal silk? or better yet, cotton, jute or laced pink? That just a glimpse of her ravishing thigh can cause an ******** a sublime indication of a man’s lusted high? What about the time when she would shudder with desire of feeling love in its prime? Or when she would want to fly across the seas and the mountains? Would you simply push her within a four walled room and shut the doors while she rips the curtains? Would you let her learn to write with a pencil or make her sit by the stove by the window in deadly still while growing men learn how to pay a bill how to exercise a will and gasp at life’s thrill? She would still be a girl if she came into this world you made for yourself a precious pearl you’d only carve her into a stone so she could be unfurled to the wind and the perils of man Because you barely built a world for her along with him together little would she know that we live in a man’s deadly clan.

Who can tell? Whether malice has its own purity? If odor has its own fragrant smell? Does right wrong right Or wrong right wrong? Could darkness have its own light? What do you know? Guilt might have its own innocence For all you know Humility and modesty Could just be a show This is how life is You either laugh hard Or you cry in pain You love too much Or you die in vain If you don’t make someone smile You end up being a bore If you dress up too guile You are tagged a ***** You may be very pretty but deceitful in act You may be called ugly but are beautiful in fact In sadness you’re creative In happiness well that is tentative and yet sans it too you may appear narrative If you know too much you realize how less you knew If you are too ignorant you realize that all lies are just few Humor shames trivialities Irony is the truth about absurdities We scorn at all harsh realities So we smile at its mockeries Could love really be true? And hatred absolutely false? Is sadness a gloom Covered in joy so sparse like a dull audience forced in its applause? Without a doubt A truth has a lie hidden Simply because The mirror isn’t clear It hides many flaws and your aesthetic sin deep within If you counted the seconds and minutes and the hours Will you still be wasting time? Or would you still have to make an orange juice out of a dainty lime? What’s rhetoric if a question has an answer if silence it’s own message and guns and bullets its own power? What’s the point If you’re devising a plan for your future to become a big man And you still say that you don’t know what might happen tomorrow That it all looks bleak and dark And you sit there not working hard you crib and worry and fake a smile to everyone you appear as blithe as a lark We dwell with glee In a world where two extremes meet Order deals with its chaos And chaos struggles for order Everyone fights for the latter And to straighten an imbalanced balance and dispel a dulcet clatter.

Like a mad tune you ring Reverberating Inside the turmoil of my head Calming the fret Strange notes you play Like the petals of a rose Falling on a flamenco guitar On a lifeless day Where words I mumble are in prose In my world where silence is ****** And joy is unknown I listen to The queer notes that you plucked Dark curtains are torn Easing the tension In my spirit This music you create Is all but silence And sans it The petals of the rose I reckon might sadly wilt.

Euphony.
This is about you. A composition of your perfect imperfection It’s about your ample nose placed on your sculpted face scaling a symmetry only I understand but its intricacy only God knows You, with your dark eyes in its shining and its gloom narrate stories only I hear and listen to. How I seek pleasure to solve your dissonance because you accepted my woe making it your own When you play songs on your lute it’s like stars shoot and harmony soars over the bay When you hit a minor chord and smile you erase a plight and make beauty by something so odd You don’t force a smart pun a thoughtful gift a witty remark you just say and do it I suppose in effortless effort You don’t just talk you exchange mental delight in bold intellect and subtle pride in considerate stealth you love poetry the way you admire irony connection and symphony How your eyes seek mine in a multitude and shamelessly acknowledge its find baffles my mind you’re deaf to the blaring thoughts of staring strangers at us or rather you with me you’re an enigma in a way that makes your sobriety my toxic your drunken state my vulnerability You don’t have to be a man or an angel if either existed I would seek for you to be the former you don’t need to have the charm of a woman or a magician to allure me it’s perfect when we look at each other’s face there’s nothing that seems or feels out of place i can smile at you in ease and affection never running out of it for days Because you’re only the figment of my vast imaginings and you are beautiful You’re someone out there I will always hope to tell about the pink of pigs to the purple of laughter to the red of sad blood and come running to when I’m covered in mud You’re either romance in furtive stance of a fake acquaintance Or a doting friendship with a silent lip of promising actions Or maybe you’re just my dream wrapped in an uncertainty of becoming my reality I would cherish As I grow I will wonder and ask the universe or the other where in the world are you right now? what would it take for me to get you or get to you somehow?
