CONVERSATIONS
Every single day of my life,
Has been spent in silence.
This has become a routine for me.
A routine which I never wanted;
A routine where
Without speaking a word,
My loved ones are hurt;
A routine which makes me feel miserable.
Silence: I hate you!
We both don't get along that well,
I hate you because you make yourself available,
Everytime.
I hate you because you comfort ego;
I hate you because without you,
So many problems could be sorted;
I hate you because you depress me;
I hate you-
For you have compelled me to write about you,
And not speak.
Dedicated to a friend of mine, Roopali Arora. Encouraging me to express through words.

Alone she sat,
Unaware of her impact
Silence that could ****,
Catastrophe that would build
Yet all she did was smile.
Inexorable that she was
Knowing that solitude was her strength
And a weakness of mine.

Snow

Like feathery pearls,
The snowflakes unfurl
And glow as they slowly float down

The snow - winter's seed,
It falls; never cedes
Builds up as it reaches the ground.

This curtain of white
Blows on through the night,
At dawn coming up to our knees.

It falls without sound
Though the wind sometimes howls
And doesn't forget not to cease
I know it's not snowing in most places at the moment but I wrote this a couple of months back when it was winter. It always gives me an incredibly serene feeling when I look out the window and see the snow fall so delicately.

Ever sick of the trifle of problems of life
And the dark of the con of the man;
When the noise is incessant and the colours fluorescent
And I hold nothing but my own hand.

Slay the dark! Slay the problems! And dim all the lights,
Please, I beg you, the ending is near!
I don't want to go out with my light still about,
Yes, the bane of my life is that fear.

The sun burns and blinds both the eyes on my back
Now I see in just one direction.
With perpetual silence and cacophonic sirens,
My senses impaired to perfection.

I wish I could smell the sweet scent of our lives
But there's only the blood in my nose.
The storms I endure makes hell look almost pure,
And the darkness won't come to a close...

We walk to the end, or the end comes to us,
The wise of us will know to run.
All the noise is incessant and the colours fluorescent
With perpetual silence with cacophonic sirens,
We are the dark of the sun.

Incessant ticking
Drilling holes inside my mind,
Will drive me senile.
Let's work together to abolish loud clocks.

For the complacency of my actions
Not yet started, not yet done
For the blossom of your beauty
Like spring to the summer sun
For the obsessed stares and glances
Firing uncontrolled like guns
For the hopeless signs of notice
For those desperate walks, jogs, runs
For the swerves and all the corners
Stolen just to look at you
It is I who must apologise
And apologise I do.

Flowing; not a flicker,
Just pure, flowing light.
Smooth; coming in thicker,
All rife with tranquil might.

Bright, filling up the sky
With tidal waves of glow,
Its dance in thickest night
Awash with graceful flow.

Burning, like a fire,
Pulsing blue and green.
Expanding its empire,
Yet most remains unseen.

Its high tide slowly cedes, at last,
And doesn't stain the sky
As star-strewn night time fields
Enter in the moon's bright eye.

Pills on the table
Pills working on my mind
Rummaging through the medicine cabinet for a cure to something that can't be treated
Searching for something that I will never be able to find
In the hunt I look in the mirror
A brief recognition of my reflection helps me realize
in the medicine cabinet there is no such thing as a piece of mind
