Zoning out, lost in dreams
ogling outta window
nightmarish realm with withered willow
deformed denizens roamed the streets.

Bird's eye view, looking down on mortals
hero's hardship going full throttle
superiority's on peak, enjoying the what ifs
salivating fool, THE CREATOR, ruling his fief.

my word's law, carved in stone
water to wine, raining glitter gold
snapped back to reality as bell rang
same world same place life went boomerang.

Now-a-days, inner peace in pieces
case study in psychological thesis
unconsciousness rather than sleep
dreams all black , nothingness so deep

Wave after wave we rode the highs,
Steadying our footing before the next rise,
It all crashes into laughter and the salty foam,
Time flew by as the clouds framed the setting sun,
Lighting our path as the time came to head back home.

I lived in the fleeting moments loving the rush of being alive,
Forgetting about the dark night that lay over the horizon,
As we crossed the threshold back into our abode,
The interlude ended as the last light receded from the windows,
Leaving me in unattended in the murk of my thoughts.

Unequipped for the blackness that glared at me,
I searched for a glimmer of a forgotten dream,
There was once a fire that shone bright my hopes & ambitions,
Not even embers remain that I may stoke a new flame,
Aimlessly I move through the motions of the daily mundane.

Slowly collapsing under the unbearable weight,
Wishing that I could find meaning in life,
Or give up altogether and end it tonight,
"Why am I even here?" Echoes back at me from the dark,
I fear there is nothing else left for me here.
I have stopped enjoying everything I once used to, like music, reading and spending time with people, I find it hard to continue with work as I am very uninspired in life, unable to create as I once used to be able to, I don't seem to be able to care for anything or anyone now. I am tired.

Heart beats  !

I was dead, by that river, that night, at the dam,
My heart is now beating as to the rhythm of
your heart,
to the pulse of your words, you say and not say,
and to your whispers I hear and not hear.
At nights it stops, when you depart,
When we run out of words, It beats slow,
as if I've ran out of breath,
and I slip to the other world,
where we speak without words, our own world, beyond words, language and gestures.
When we can't bear the
untouchable presence anymore,
the beautifully frustrating absence anymore,
not anymore it beats.
It stops.
When all the love and lust and craving for
eachother becomes an overwhelming bursting of tears inside out of our hearts and minds,
when our worlds collapse,
when we're helplessly falling to sleep,
Though not hopeless for a sweet dream,
my heart stops beating,
my body goes numb and soul begins the journey,
Lips cracks, missing your tenderness
which I've never tasted.
Willing not to give up, my body seeks
the aid of the dreams, to stay alive till a new dawn, to hold back soul's journey.
As the dreams fade I wake up to your morning.
It has become a routine.
And That's how I stay alive.
To be near you.
To beat as a heart.
To be the wave in your oceans.
To reach for a sight of your shores.
That's why I stay alive.
And this is how you keep me alive.

Edgar Alan Poe is dead. Seriously, I read it.
He died in October 1849 - or did he?
Do we really know?

Poe wrote about death a lot,
he teased with it, it was his favorite tool.
He kept death close and twisted it like a knife.

His profession was the macabre, the shadow,
the summoned dread and the gruesome aftermath.

He was a writer and a critic - what’s more dreadful than a critic?

They say he died from “unknown causes”
- how absolutely perfect.

There's fear in you that you can't see.
It's why you're numb with apathy.
It's why you never want to try.
It's why you're working 9 to die,

It's why you put yourself in line.
It's why you lie and say you're fine.
It's why you stand when you should dance.
It's why you're waiting for your "chance".

I won't say I have the answers
or that I'm the answer to your prayers.
I can't tell you what it's like in heaven
or that I can take you there.
But I can tell you that I'll listen.
And I'll show you that I care
by telling you the things
you've never had a chance to hear.
I won't promise sunshine and rainbows
or that I can make it all okay.
What I promise is I'll try to help you believe
that there's always a reason to stay.

Human emotions are the most fervent.
It could be love for a day and hatred for another.
Love is captivating,
And hatred distrupts the mind.

When people emotions are intertwined
They lose their perceptiveness
Then,
It will be hard to have the world in one's mind.
