Dream
Archi shah Apr 2021
I feel so lost
In this darkness around me
The shadows swallowing me
Like I belong in it

I don't know if it's normal
I don't know if I should panic
I don't know what it means
I don't know what to feel

The moon no where to be seen
The stars no more twinkling
The cool breeze just whispering
The darkness kissing every part of me

Shall I endure the songs it sings?
Shall I cherish the the smile it brings?
Shall I claim the crown it gives?
Or Shall I close my eyes amd dream in it?

I don't know how but
The nights bring something brighter in me
So would you like to join this world of mine
When I extend my hand to take a leap?

Love story
Archi shah Apr 2021
I met him yesterday
Yesterday at the Cafe
Cooped up in the corner
Enchanted by the book

His eyes the darkest shade of brown
His curly hair shining against the sunlight
His face, a pure emotion of curiosity
His lips plumped in delight

He was reading a fantasy novel
The One I was reading too
There was a strange feeling in my heart
It was something utterly new

I gathered up the courage and approached him
He still mesmerized in the book
Didn't even acknowledge my presence
So I tapped on the table for him to look

There he was
Devastatingly cute
His eyes soft and kind
Surprised when his gaze fell on my book

We both felt that spark
Of awe and surprise
Like we both never expected
To Meet someone alike

We both exchanged various emotions
Without even uttering a word
It was then I realized
That he is the one

We talked for hours
Laughing and giggling
I have never felt this much ease
It was like a poet writing a poetry

Is was dusk
Sun finally binding it's farewell
Kissing the clouds in the shade of pink
Birds flying towards it like bounded by a spell

His face too covered by the pink
His face glowing and his eyes...
His soft eyes now like magic
It felt like fire caressing the ice

We both now silent
I mesmerized in his eyes
Our hands touching
My heartbeat, a roller-coaster ride

Then..
We kissed
His lips so soft
Felt like my heart skipped a beat

His touch was gentle
His kiss so tender
His hands stroking my hair
My sould just surrendered

My lips smiling like never before
Everyone else slowly disappeared
Like it was just me and him in this world
My lip gloss now smeared

The cold breeze brushed our cheeks
The darkness now settled around us
His hands still warn
My face showing a darkest shade of blush

Sadness suddenly filled my heart
I realized how late it was
I had to say goodbye
Even though my heart yelled not to

It all happend yesterday
But I wanted to meet him again
So there I was standing again in the Cafe
Him again in the corner smiling
My love story finally began

A phase
Archi shah Apr 2021
I have seen a lot of people
Who have faced problems
Which seem impossible to overcome

I have seen people smile
In those times
Even when I could see
That immense pain through their eyes

I have seen people struggle
Through that rain of misery all alone
Just because
They had no one to pick up the phone

I myself have been there
Where the peices
Wouldn't even fit a bit
Where I lost my faith
And even wanted to quit

Everyone goes through this stuff
Mine wasn't easy
But maybe
Yours was even more though

I learned something from it
And I wanna help you by sharing.

Crying is okay and so is fear
Getting past it isn't easy
But you have the potential
Even if u can't see it clear

You might have someone on your side
Or you might not
But in the end
You would definitely turn out to be strong

You might feel helpless
You might have lost your faith
But once you get through it
You would definitely feel great

You might feel like quitting
You might feel the rage
But you always have to remember
That this is just a phase

A phase
That is meant to have an end
A phase
That would tell you your real friend

A phase
That might change your life forever
But a phase
That will make you realise how strong you are

This might seem
Unrealistic right now
But trust me, after reaching the end
You could finally relax those brows

Happy
Archi shah Apr 2021
My eyes narrate a story
My tongue failed to
My eyes were swollen
But my lips smiled at you

Your voice became a nightmare
Your presence, a fear
You gave me a hope
That felt surreal

You understood my silence
Like no one ever did
You made me believe that
You were everything I need

All your tantrums that I had to bear
And all the pain you put me through
In the end I had nowhere else to go
And you knew I would come back to you

But one day I realised
You were fake too
Turned out to be a snake
That you claimed you never would

But now I won't cry anymore
And won't beg you to be with me
'Cause now I have realised that
I can too make myself happy

Moon and stars
Archi shah Apr 2021
Wondering around in the dark
Seeking an escape through the stars
Licking the wounds and the scars
Barefoot in the tall green grass

Luminous moon up in the sky
Guiding me through lows and highs
Gives me light in the tears of cry
Helping me go through the night

Bruises and scratches all over me
While waking through the thorny fields
Its the pain the one must feel
To stand up high on their feet

Pardon me for the time I take
Learning from my own mistakes
Loving the scars with the pain
Turning around a losing game

This might me a risky ride
But the light is on the other side
With all the struggles and sorrows of night
Led me to the ray of light

Grateful to the moon and stars
Gave me strength in the dark
Helped me made a clear path
Gave my life a needed spark

— The End —
