Hesitant season
RVani Kalyani Aug 2021
I call it the Hesitant Season!
Leaves don't move until they have wind's word,
And that makes the air awkward around.
Stars don't shine till they clouds move,
And that makes them lose their glow.
Yet we all walk around and around,
Noticing less of the nature's frown.

Foam
RVani Kalyani Jun 2021
I've been there,
Fading out and in,
Like a cloud of rin.
Speaking up the words,
No one hears- I burst.
Sometimes I fly in the air,
Levitate and boom, I'm not there!

Messy day
RVani Kalyani May 2021
I'm obsessed too,
I don't know what to do.
Can't get hold of the time that's running,
Tick-tock,Tick-tock it keeps going.
I feel suffocated, I lose my breath,
Lub-dub,lub-dub can hear in my ears.
All the energy in my legs drain,
Into that invisible river of procrastination,
And I find myself drowned in it.
How do I get out of it?
I raise my hand only to catch my lost self in the cosmos,
I stretch my arm into thin air, and I did get out,
Catching the soft hand of wrinkles,
It was my Dad!  
I woke up from my bed.

Enough with the hiding
RVani Kalyani Mar 2021
Come out,
Either thee sun or thee rain,
Hiding behind those clouds again.
Weather's humid all over and again.
Stop playing and show thyselves and explain!

Let it flow

Don't force yourself,
Life and rivers are better,
When they go with the flow.

Shes perplexed in the mess,

Cloud
RVani Kalyani Jan 2021
All these days I know I was a cloud,
Moving with the wind was all I knew.
Been going on with no fellow collisions,
Escaping all the mountains that I confront.
Smiling back while the sun smiles at me,
Despite carring the weight inside me.
I wonder, until when should I keep moving,
For me to become one with the river that's flowing.
I hesitate to move with the wind,
I stop and then the rain falls from me.
All the thoughts that weighed me down,
Flow down just to combine into a water body.
But I'm still left with a part of me,
That made me certain of my eternity.

Sky Castle
RVani Kalyani Jan 2021
The sky is so dark and sad,
I wonder why.
Is it because of Rapunzel,
Who's stuck to study?
In that lonely tower,
She's all alone,
With heaps of books,
And bundles of pens.
What will she learn,
When she's forced to read?
She dreams of running away,
Knowing the world,
Sleeping on that green grass,
Flowing like that free river.
She keeps dreaming,
Of the world behind the walls.
She keeps wanting to run,
Run to happiness,
Run to the days she feels loved,
Run to the life she wants to live.
But When will she?
When she's stuck just to study?

Mondays
RVani Kalyani Dec 2020
Nothing's going in my way,
It is like this everyday.
I feel like giving up all the time,
Have no other colors just lime.
All my dreams turn their backs on me,
I try to keep up I run behind for glee.
I look up for the shining stars,
But what I see are all blurred marks.
So I close my eyes to get lost in thoughts,
To end today and the night of fraughts.

Despair
RVani Kalyani Nov 2020
Why all the spiel,
Just to make me mystified?
Your ideas were like hieroglyphs,
Characters that I can't understand.
I sailed away the whole ocean,
To wave you a hiii,
Just to find you sail in another yacht!
That over dramatic response you give when you find that your friend cheated on you by choosing another partner for an assignment :P

Dear friend,
RVani Kalyani Nov 2020
I'll be the earth and absorb it all,
So vent it out like a cloud and bawl.
Drop those tears of rain,
Let it go, all your pain.
Keep your head up,
Sun's gonna rise up.
Paint a rainbow over your head,
Put on a peaceful smile and go to bed.
I'll filter your dreams inside,
Do not worry, just slide.
Good night my friend,
Let your agony end.

Evenings
RVani Kalyani Nov 2020
Let me gaze on you,
O dear sky!
Brush my fingers against the clouds,
And reach for the absolute blue you!
Let me dream too,
O dear sky!
Climb up the the darkness for the day,
And quicken myself for the sunrise!
Let me start anew,
O dear sky!
Shrift all of my zany faults that I did,
And forget all of my heavy regrets.

Waves
RVani Kalyani Nov 2020
I was at a sea shore,
Looking at that blank wave.
It came up to the dry sand,
And just took it all away.
I hid my dreams there,
Thinking it's the safest place,
So I cried, I cried terribly,
But the next wave brought it back,
The sand and all of it.
I was happy that the sand's back,
But are were my dreams back too?

Answer me
RVani Kalyani Oct 2020
Should I ask the night or the ocean?
For how long should my thoughts be concealed deep in dark sky and blue?
Should I ask the trees or the wind?
For how long should my feelings not be shown on their own and invisible?
Should I lastly ask you and Yes! You?
For why do you keep my dreams in secret and far from my reach?
I ask for answers and not to be left with all the questions I've collected.

Canvas
RVani Kalyani Oct 2020
It gazes at me-the blank canvas,
Her look pierces into me,within me.
And I look at her,unable to hold her stare,
I then search for her eyes to gaze into,
But I terribly fail,I kept trying and failing,
So I take those brushes and move my eyes with them,
The paint moves with the brush and so do my eyes,
And then I see those eyes looking at me,
And then I hold her stare at me,
And then I find the canvas that isn't blank like me.
She's smiling and I found a friend for me.

Seasons
RVani Kalyani Sep 2020
I'm bored,
Bored of waiting for that warm sunshine in monsoon.
I'm bored,
Bored of craving for rains in hot summer.
I'm bored,
Bored of waiting for maple leaves in the cold winter.
I'm bored,
Bored of  craving to wear sweaters in autumn.
I'm bored,
Bored of waiting for green beginnings in yellow summer evenings.
I'm bored,
Bored of craving for icecreams while in spring.

Clouds
RVani Kalyani Sep 2020
The clouds move faster than usual,
But do they go to where they want to?
Or just follow the wind where it leads to?
I wonder.
And I keep wondering about those clouds...

Why do I feel like I'm a cloud?
Just passing by and living the life as it is.

Am I going there where I want to?
Or am I just spending my days like life leads to?
I wonder.
And I keep wondering about the life that I want...

She
RVani Kalyani Aug 2020
She
She loves red,
She smells blood!
Knives are her favorite,
But not just in a plight.
She walks in black,
She cuts no slack.
She is for Vendetta not just V,
She's a real badass you see!
"Vigorous, tough"- her aura speaks,
She's that goddess everyone seeks.
She burns brighter than the sun,
If her eyes turn red-you gotta run.
Her smile makes all the flowers bloom,
Even when it's a dark night and gloom.
Taming snakes is her hobby,
You could find cobras in her lobby.
You should see her in a crown,
Doesn't need anyone, she's on her own.
You could find a lioness in a den,
But not her, she's one in ten.
Stalwart or Virago can call her any,
Nah! You can't win her, honey.
She's the queen in her kingdom that she built,
Try laying a finger, she knows how to tilt.
She version 2
The most badass poem describing the badass woman.

FYI women can be badass too. If you haven't met any woman who's a badass it means two things-
Woman around you don't want to show their badass self to you
Or
Time hasn't come or maybe you weren't there to witness their badass self.

White nights
RVani Kalyani Aug 2020
White nights,
O white nights!
Thou ought me rapture,
In midst of my mind's chaos.
O white nights!
Thy quaint dreams made me abhor
My absolute pleasure.
O white nights!
When will thee end thy zany and vile times?
For I am done embossing myself!
O white nights!
I need dark nights!!!

Have you ever?
RVani Kalyani Aug 2020
Have you been there,
When the mind doesn't agree with the heart,
And you feel like your life's jinxed?
Have you felt like,
Your mind is a complete mess but your thoughts make up a plain mosaic?
Have you ever felt so down,
That you get ****** into that black cosmos which you've painted with all the regrets that you have?

Self-love
RVani Kalyani Aug 2020
It's like knowing what brightness is,
When you've lived half of your life in darkness.
It is when you have finally accepted who you are,
It is when you keep valuing yourself,
It is when your soul starts grows with you.
And it is when énouement doesn't hit you anymore.

Self-love can change people too,
You will no longer be that kid who's traumatized by the past,
You will be loving each and every inch of your skin,
You will live your life like never before.
Start loving yourself in every way possible,
You will surely see an eternal rainbow in your life.
Start loving yourself the way you are and you will find the world change around you. You will find the things and adore those things you never know existed.

Is it?
RVani Kalyani Jun 2020
There were dark clouds in the sky,
With all of the feelings stuffed inside.
They made barely to their destination,
But then again dripped just a little.
They were still so dark and heavy,
Yet the Sunrise made them disappear,
From my sight or from the sky?
I still wonder! Is this a part of life?

Weather and I
RVani Kalyani May 2020
Cloudy but there's sunrise,
Sunny but there's no rainbow.
Windy but it is still,
Humid but it's dry.
Today I see,
Myself in thee,
Confusion and agony,
Yet you are like me.

Guitar
RVani Kalyani May 2020
You've listened to the song I never sung,
You've heard the thoughts I never let out.
You've been the only audience of my all experiments,
You've been the only one when everyone left.
You made me hold you when things were tough,
You made me less lonely having you by my side.
They say a red string connects people,
But what connects us are your 6 steel strings!
Your sound gives me the words to speak,
Your music gives me the worth to breathe!

What would I wish for?
RVani Kalyani May 2020
In this world of no supernatural powers,
I wished if I had one.
But if there were a world where everyone had supernatural powers,
Would I wish if I had NONE?
Would I wish to have NONE??

She
RVani Kalyani Feb 2020
She
She was given a freedom like dove,
Little did she know that it's wings were broken.
She was trapped in that dark cage,
Made of stereotypes that society created.
She thinks twice before she does anything
Cause she's tired of thinking what people might think.
She is assured that she is respected,
Why do people use her relations for obscenity?
She can't go out without an escort,
Then will she ever cross the country of hers
To make her parents and her nation proud?
She's always a slave for people's demand on her beauty,
She's always the one who gets judged about her personality.
She's always the one who suffers from our nation's disability.
She bleeds in pain and bears all the risks,
But she can't laugh out whenever she wants.
She and her life are all a burden,
Cause she ain't  the one who wears a turban.
People never change,these remain the same,
She is the one who gets the blame.
No matter how tough her is,
She is and will always be that fierce lioness.

Brother
RVani Kalyani Feb 2020
You are the only guiding star I have.
The best competitive soulmate I ever have.
Annoying you is what I love to do,
But whatever I do,you don't even move.
When you made me do all the chores mom asked you to,
I figured out that you lacked sense of Justice too.
Those moments when we fought for TV,
And those wonderful times
When you got caught for something I did.
Our maths was poor when it came to sharing food,
Not to mention the case of chocolates though.
I made faces to irritate you,
But I get annoyed with that poker face you do.
You know me way too well,
My favorite icecream flavor I don't tell.
You are the Tanjiro of my life,
Who carries me and my burdens of my life.
You are the Finneas of my music,
Who sets everything right and less chaotic.
You are my Tom while I'm your Jerry
How can our duo be less dramatic.

Depression
RVani Kalyani Feb 2020
I know it hurts,
To hide all your scars,
And pain from your mind wars.
With a fake smile on your face

I know it hurts,
When people ask you why,
Rather than understanding your sighs
And the silence in your blood.

I know it hurts,
To reply how are you?
With fine.
When you know it doesn't rhyme.

I know it hurts,
When people act like they know,
They don't feel a thing though,
But you just ignore it all and so.

I know it hurts,
When you scream in your head,
With those invisible tears you shed,
Thoughts are left unsaid.

I know it hurts
When the world you see is black,
And You can't get yourself back,
That you think your answer lies in red.

I know it hurts,
But please do rely upon your family or friends,
Your life isn't meant to end.
You can make as many amends.

Frozen Thoughts
RVani Kalyani Feb 2020
Are some things meant to be broken,
So that we shouldn't have them anymore...?
Are some things meant to be lost,
So that we won't have to find them
anymore...?
Are some things meant to be forgotten,
So that we don't have to remember
anymore...?
