Vincent van Gogh
Khaab Aug 2020
Why to put flowers on his dead?
When never treated him like
one in his entire lifetime...
"But I could have told you, Vincent
This world was never meant for one as beautiful as you..."
                                                                                              - Don Mclean (Vincent)

Storm
Khaab Aug 2020
The anxiety rose like a storm in her heart
And She...chased the storm away
I remember I saw her on the shore this morning.
I think She is getting stronger...

She is drowning...
Khaab Jul 2020
It's been years and she has not felt normal...
It's getting hard to breathe
She wants to shout out....she is pain!!
She doesn't know how to feel okay
She is scared all the time
There is something eating her up!
killing her from inside brutally...
She wants this to go!.....just go!....just gooo!
Why can't these feelings leave?
Stuck with her from all these years
HELLOOO? Is there someone to pull her out?
She is drowning...
She needs a life guard...believe me...she does
Just an old draft.

Rains
Khaab Jul 2020
I guess rains were made for poets
As the poets and clouds get emotional
Pages and earth are filled with beauty.
"It's safe to do nothing when it rains."

Early days
Khaab Jul 2020
They were angels flying high
in the clouds of fantasies


Oblivious of the flat fall
on the cruel ground of reality.
Chilhood is a dream we live
before waking up in adulthood.

Pen and Paper
Khaab Jul 2020
There are days
when nothing bothers me.
There are days
when I don't know what to write.
And...
I am just thankful to pen and paper
for always being there for me.
Let's be like pen and paper...

A QUEEN
Khaab Jul 2020
She knows she has got the power!
And she'll not let the demons conquer her
Let them play with her...
Let that anxiety tease her...
But! She is a QUEEN
When the time comes
she'll rip the demons apart!
Tell the demons not to come near her
She is not that weak to let them play with her heart!!

Lost old days...
Khaab Jul 2020
The colossol sky was blue enough to absorb our anxieties
The immense clouds were white enough to provide us peace
The tall grasses were green enough to smile at us
The stony path was rough enough to burst us into meaningless laughters!
The consoling songs were melodious enough to help us foget everything
And...we were euphoric enough to enjoy every moment!
I miss the lost old days...
Coming back from school was not less than an adventure for those dreamy little girls!! Those days are just safely placed in the box of memories.

Was she worth nothing?
Khaab Jul 2020
She felt like the defective product
being compared to the
flawless ones.
Everyone was perfect around her...but she...
how did she feel?

Mind is a sadist
Khaab Jul 2020
Heart was surrounded by agony
She cried in pain in front of Mind,
Brutally injured by his knife like thoughts.
And Mind being a sadist
did not stop!
But... what did she ask for?
She just wanted to experience a peaceful sleep
that was lost years ago...
She was tired...

They call out to me...
Khaab Jul 2020
I wish to get lost there
It's a place in the lap of mountains,
close to the heart of nature.
They say life hits different in these towns,
towns in the arms of nature.
I wish to take in that air...
the air which will fill my lungs
with excitement.
I feel like dancing with the clouds
that will come down to meet me.
Reading my favourite book under the
lamp post on the wet streets
is all I long for.
There are days when mountains call out to me...
Ask me to come back home,
But all I have are the excuses
caught in these plains.
Till that time all I do...
is wait with the night
missing the woods everyday.
Mama says," Who doesn't ♥ nature?...I feel revived when I am surrounded by nature..."

Night
Khaab Jul 2020
It's a quite hour
When fireflies and introverts come out.
The fireflies brighten up the world!
And the introverts brighten up the mind...
Shhh!...Even your whispers can be heard
So be careful , do not make any noise.
Even the monster under my bed comes up,
to help me complete my poetry.
We have midnight parties with moon and stars
Where I end up getting drunk on night!
Don't you think if schools were at night...it would have been better?
Imagine going to school crossing streets with orange and white lights...

Music
Khaab Jul 2020
It feels like water on the barren land of my soul
After the long lost journey...
Music feels like home.
In this world of science
music is the magic...

3 a.m
Khaab Jul 2020
She is sitting on the table...
Turning on the lamp and then switching it off

on!.....off!


on!.....off!


on!......off!


off...........­..........off


It's been 5 minutes and the lamp is still off
She can hear someone...
Oh! It's her heart screaming for an adventure...
WANDERLUST!

Believe me!
Khaab Jul 2020
The complete universe resides in you
Your eyes shine like stars
Your smile is like the cresent moon
that brightens up someone's night!
You are strong and confident like the sun
Your mind is the place where galaxies live...
And your thoughts are gracefully spread like
millions of solar systems
Still you love to live in your
earth like heart
which is filled with clouds and
waterfalls of love
You are gorgeous!
You are your own heaven...believe me!
Nothing can make you better than you. Believe me! you are precious. Love yourself for that soul that resides inside you not for what others believe or say...love yourself...you have got this!

The sad generation
Khaab Jul 2020
Fake smiles.....broken hearts
Betrayal.....tears
Sleepless nights....depression
Caught in our own minds...
We are the sad generation.


Brightest smiles....beautiful hearts
True love.....ambled souls
Sleepless nights....fireflies and moonlight
Caught in their euphoric world
They were the 90's generation.
I envy my parents...as they did not have overthinking minds and heavy hearts in their teenage!!
Khaab Jul 2020
The most precious sound to me
is that tune,
The tune...that my mother hums while cooking.
The kitchen looks like the Valley of Flowers
and she...dancing like a butterfly among them.
The euphonious tune fills the enviornment
and leaves me in the peace,
that I long for...
Mama feels like home...actually mama is home!!

Lost...
Khaab Jul 2020
She used to wonder in a dark place called mind,
Where lanterns of thoughts lightened up the place...
And kept her awake all night.
Her mind is like an amusement park...
where she loves taking rides on the
roller coaster of thoughts.

Their love...
Khaab Jul 2020
She thought," Nature must have been made with immense love...and the five elements must have loved each other with so much passion...that they were so well entangled in each other's soul....
Otherwise how could this earth potray love!?"
Sometimes nature is all you need...

Power
Khaab Jul 2020
There were many doubts about what she could do. She smiled and said," Even the sound of my heels when they meet the floor, is a sign of my power!"
And then she walked away with pride...leaving the toxic world behind.
When she flips her hair...the world sees her shine.

Among strangers
Khaab Jul 2020
For her, it's not about being alone
It's about being lonely.
Sometimes she feels like
getting lost among those strangers...
where no one knows her name
where she's just a girl with a
mysterious pair of eyes.
She feels free among strangers,
free from the burden of everyone knowing her.
She enjoys being lost among strangers.
A beautiful place along the sea with lights and soft music
waits for her.
And there she is...
with her hands in the air and open hair,
she dances the night away among strangers...
And at the end they all become strangers
but with memories...
She was an adventure in world that had stopped believing in fairytales...
Sometimes you are just tired of a place and you want to run away from there.
