Crack

You are like crack.
I'm addicted to being around you
The thought of your kiss
Your touch
Makes me smile and blush
And dream of wedded bliss in vain.
I am young
My love is futile.
Every ivory dream
Ends in unrequited love.
Every schoolyard crush
Ends in obsession.
When will I see you again?
A single hour is never enough.
A single day leaves me hungry.
No matter how long
It's never long enough.
I am addicted to you
And you don't even suspect it.

Yours

Take my heart
It's yours to keep
Pull my chest apart
It's an infinite sleep

Take my smile
It's yours to carry
I never found it worthwhile
Tuck it away to bury

Take my collarbone
It's yours to hold
You've kissed it to stone
Or so I've been told

Take my rib
It's yours to own
Peel my protective bib
Break me so I can go home

Take my love
It's been yours for years
I would return yours
But you never gave me any

High school high,
from over there.
Mechanical hips,
wire hair.

Low count sheets,
cigarette burns.
All alone,
I have learned.

Initiate
what you will,
we chase love
until it's killed

****** winds
across my room
as I sleep,
my body blooms

On repeat,
my hurt is blue
don't feel bad
you can hurt me, too.

Falling for you was the easy thing to do
Having a permanent love is against the odds
Burning passion bleeding from every inch of me
So love sick hoping and praying that it's meant to be

I can't let you walk away without a trace
You can see the tracks of my tears upon my face
Knowing three words would change how I feel
To have a permanent love I know it's not real

These emotions I have you know they are real
I've fallen in love and that's what I feel
So love sick and knowing this will never be
There will never be a you and a me

When I fall asleep my eyes meet yours.

In Ten Years
 May 2014 Aditi

In ten years, I'd like to feel okay
I want to laugh without trying
and I want to smile without crying
I'm sorry if this is all so cliché

In ten years, I'd like to visit beautiful places on this earth
I'd like to see Machu Picchu and I'd like to experience Greece
I want to find serenity and I want to feel at peace
I yearn to find my soul and I want to meditate

And in ten years, I'd like to be free
I want the courage to stand up to my demons
I want to put fear in their nonexistent hearts and say, I made it, man.
Yeah by then, free is all I want to be

I want my family to mend its broken ways by the time I'm twenty-six
I want a home filled with love and laughter
And I want my brother to not be a ****-up in these years after
All I want is for this torn-apart-at-the-seams-home to be fixed

Oh in ten years I will  c o n q u e r  my depression
For I will not let it drown me in my sorrows
And I will kick anxiety's *** and not let it take my tomorrows
Oh, I will send my demons a'runnin'

Yes, I know this is all cliché
But I'd like to be almost happy one day

WHAT is a Hindu, a Moslem or a Christian?
    Whence he comes and where he goes?
  
     Ocean is a solution, salty, but-
     Corers of Suns gleam on the crest of waves-
     One, only One at the helm in the blue.
    
     Pools and streams and lakes and bays
     Wells and springs and rain and ice
     We see nothing but a drop, in them drops
     Nay, vapor condensed: Nay, H2O-right?
     Think a little straight, sit up aright
      Am I not right? -break, break that H2O
     Baffling bright white-light you can see.
    Of heat and Energy, Oh! 'Sivam'!
    You may call it 'Noor' in Arabic
    'Siv' in Sanskrit-what then-
    Releases combustion in cells?
   Nothing but very heat and Energy.
   Uranium and Thorium release the same.
   We find Energy unborn eternal
    Omnipresent, Omnipotent
   Omniscient, and Formless.
   The Almighty is Brahma,
   Paramatma and Allah.
   Jehovah may be for some,
   For some Agni, may be that-
   Radiant and resplendent Yogic Light.
   Cant you see Ocean in rain drop
   Cosmic power in a cell or shell?
   Cell or Shell-what is in a name?
   Is chariot, coat or prison of the soul.
   When walls get weak the soul will part
   Out through the vent as air off the balloon.
   Reading Holy Scriptures, not knowing the sense-
  What use? -observe the Nature and think
  Knowledge is a chain of fact as pearls
  Stringed by Reason and Faith with a Coir of the Truth.
  Tension brews as experiences tightly
   Loaded on the string, still stronger by Faith.
  Knowledge is light to enlighten the folk
  Not to ****, but for, co-existence in Peace.

Siv(sanskrit)=light=Noor(Arabic)

Ghazal
It's when you understand that-

                    Everyone has a battle to fight
                    Everyone has a demon to ****,
                    A regret they pray disappeared,
                    An unanswered "what if?..."
                    A larger than life aspiration
                    An urge for a simpler life
                    (both at the same time),
                    Everyone sees in themselves
                    A flaw they spend all their might to hide,
                    Everyone has an ache untreated,
                    Insecurities kept discreetly in a shell.
                    Everyone has a Story to tell-

Do you begin to realise that
Probably all of humanity
Is just the many versions of
One inifinitely re-written story.
