As I close my eyes and resonate
The feelings of despair
You stand at my conscious gate
Begging for a chance to repair

Just as your thoughts take swells
In my trembling broken heart
Inner voices sympathize and tells
Now is a good time to stay apart

As my phone beeps and rings
I know it's him, going insane
Shattered dreams it brings
Now it's his time to bear the pain

My mind says "No", my heart says "Go"
Another chance to make things right
But the feelings just spills and throws
What if he plans another fight

What the heck, I'll just answer his call
Tell him, it's over and forget everything
But my bleeding heart begs to fall
Let's give another shot and forget everything...

As her tears fell down
On a faithless seed unknown
A hope for a life
Upon a lifeless lone plant
Only to revive again

Horses galloping,
riders whistling a known song.
Watching their ride style
Dogs barking, with awful tune,
Sun sets in the horizon.

I feel my heart leak
Almost at deaths peak
Drip by drip flooding my chest
Trying hard trying my best
To breath but I feel stuffed
Spills of blood out when coughed
I feel my veins giving up
My eyes blurring from the lights above
I feel rushed with pain in all direction
But my body would not show any reaction
Tears filled, flowed down my cheeks
No movement no words to speak
Am laying in a motionless state
Will I live or will it be too late
All I can do is think with staring eyes no blink
For the accident caused was spurred in like ink
All over the place with fresh blood stains
A shout, a cry, a breakthrough with no gains
I can only smell blood
Now I feel the peak of pain
My heart beats less
My body is in a mess
My eyes closing next
My pulse did its best
The last sirens heard
Its all come to an end
It's too late, I am already dead...

Roaring with anger
Thunder sound is deafening
Flashings in the sky
Lightening struck a huge tree
Blaze of fire, setup free

Roses are red!!
Scattered on the bed
Really? I saw colorful ones today
I see them in the gardens everyday
Pink, yellow, orange, purple, and white
Some are light some are bright
Some are big some are small
Some are bushy some are single
Some are thorny some are smooth
Whatever style, they all look good
Roses ain't just red!!

I was, to be given to someone
As a symbol of true love
She was a studious one
And he was an average above

He wanted to give her a rose
But, was doubtful and scared
So he wrote her a nice prose
With an ink of color red

Library was her favorite place
So he placed the prose with a rose
And tied it with a thin threaded lace
As she glanced him with a pose

He placed a note and the flower
In her favorite research book
And waited her for an hour
But she was already in a hook

This broke his innocent heart
As he thought his love was blooming
Coz she was alone from the start
Unfortunately, he kept on assuming

The old books got replaced, over the week
As all got outshelved in the storage
No hands could reach and seek
This special book in the wreckage

My fragrance and youth, left me
And sank within the heavy pages
I am withered old, for no one to see
Stuck with the unread prose, for ages

Burnt in a sudden fire
Few books, behind and around
None was this books buyer
It just laid aimless on the dusty ground

A dead rose, covered within sheets
Hoping to be found oneday
If this book gets sold on the streets
Someone might have a special day...

I may shed a little tear today
As words of some seem to ****
A reminder may play everyday
Putting me on a disgusting pill

I'm out spoken on verbal and written
Yet, I am misjudged by most
Words seem to be stuffed and bitten
And comments fly in of another boast

I am not a qualified writer
Nor my writes are clear to perfect
But writing makes my dark world brighter
And that, my friend is a fact

My writes are ruins of my thoughts
Feelings of a broken heart
Shattered pieces of multiple knots
And a spilling imaginary art

I am not in competition with anyone
Poetry world is a lovely place to be
I am not in search to nail someone
But to read other poets work as I see...

The ground looks hard and crumbed
Little water soaked up as swamp
Birds chatter and flee for food
This climactic change has done no good

Animals die as lack of vegetation
Most starve and die of malnutrition
Extinction of many, ARE WE NEXT?
Counting our paces along with the rest

The ozone depletes at a steady pace
Pollution piles up in many places
Over the news, barking of such situation
Yet just a few percent take any action

Education they say, educate to lessen pollution
So many educated, now developing poisonous solution
Natural air we breathe, is no longer pure
Air borne chrome, education digs more on cure!

Further in the calm sea
Sailing with the waves
That's where I wanna be
Snorkeling near the caves

Free from delusions
Away from parasites
Disappearing with illusions
My emotions just fights

Sitting in my small room
Feeling the sail gusts
Rowing out of this doom
In the sea of fine lust

From the broken window
I stretch out my hands
To capture the wild sea
But my desire just ends

Some locked out and away
In a depression center
Here, I normally spend my day
As soon as I enter

Patients of all kind
Recovering from depression
Some out of their mind
It has now become my passion

In and out of voluntary shifts
A bit tedious place to be
But soon my role just fits
When I see the calm sea...

Hey,
It's Christmas night
And Santa's not in sight
Tho the stars shine bright
Something seems not right
Am holding my memories tight
Feelings pour in, while emotions fight
My fears turning into tears
A lonely Christmas since four years
Hopeless moments, no one cares
Darkness seems to be my true friend
The wailing of my spirit has no end
Yet, I've lit a candle to shed some light
In my dark corner, over a height
The night is beautiful, with decorations
On trees with antique creations
It's a silent night
A Holy night
Having cookies and milk,
Coz Santa's not coming tonight...

Quivering leaf, in
a small waterfall, dancing
to and fro fanning,
splashing water on the green
Crawling slippery algae.

Burn slowly O' flame of love
Fragile-as-glass dreams may melt
Think carefully before you light the fire
Coz once before, you've been burnt

What has to happen will happen
Like the sky can not bend
In the light warmth of your body
All my life, I wish to spend

In your eyes I've seen the dreams
That you have weaved all this while
In my eyes are the splinters,
Of dreams which ***** and pile

Given a second chance to love
Else it's all darkness and haunting fears
Like the mendicants eyes brim to burst
To drink their own perennial tears...

The umbra tales
Thousands of unknown secrets
As the light unveils
A spectacle on the ground
From a hanging bunch of bones


©sim

When will these lips utter the words that are buried deep
Silently observing the set out ambience, while summoning these eyes to sleep
Words as such, that can destroy a life or a family as a whole
Torturing the secrets buried deep in the dungeon of my soul
Our love was like a blooming flower, reaching towards the sun
A strange sound, broke the silence, perhaps that, of a gun
Lay someone lifeless, with blood smeared in another room
I never thought things would take me to this drastic doom
My friend shot herself dead with a single gunshot!
Broke our friendship, broke all the promising knot
She fell madly in love with my caring and loving husband
But unfortunately she got multiple rejections, may be that led her to this end
I believe that could be a reason for being gradually insane
No one, except me, could see this undoubted pain
I buried this secret deep in the dungeon of my heart
My friend childishly took her own life to a sudden depart
An untold story yet, exists in me
My partner is the only one who could see
In my eyes, behind the closed doors, the truth unveils
Of a friends love that once mattered, went in a complete fail...


©sim

You planted a seed of doubt in my mind
And each day you feed me with your lies
So well mannered around and kind
When will you answer, my "WHYS"!

As I see you wave me a goodbye
To head to work with your mate
Your mate called in, so that's another lie
I really had enough, now I can't wait!

The seed has grown into a thorn bush
Pricking my heart and making me cry
All you did was, lie and yes you did push
You pushed me away with all my "WHYS"!

©sim

I lead if I am right
I admit if I am wrong
I mean no harm or fight
My values are quite strong

You confuse my words
Misunderstand my actions
Push me to fall on swords
Then smile at my reactions

The presentation is rude
You show no remorse
Your ethics turned crude
Everyday you get worse

You are not possessed
Yet claim yourself as God
You've grown mentally obsessed
The goodness you can't afford

That's why, mirrors don't lie
See through your reflection
The one in the mirror is naive and shy
The reality has dead affection

You steer in an imaginary ocean
Without fearing on invisible surprise
Feeding on some man-made potion
Thinking death may never rise...



©sim

Most hearts
Sink in an ocean of pain
Most minds
Spill thoughts stress and drain
Most eyes
Cry, till the tears are no more
Most sit
And watch the sunset by the shore
Most beg
For the old love to stay
But then,
They all find way and ways to go away...

As I walked through the woods,
Carrying baskets of food,
I realised am being followed by someone,
I gasped and gazed finding no one,
Hurrying my way to the picnic spot,
Making sure I have all that I bought,
I saw! I saw the shadow, everyone talked about,
My legs began to freeze and I started to shout,
But who was there to hear my scream,
To come for my rescue from this shadow grim,
I kept running and so did the vicious shadow,
Growing its size as we reached the meadow,
It got gloomy and the shadow got helpless,
I got tired and was almost breathless,
Turning my focus and thinking for a bit,
Under a tree I saw the fire lit,
How could I be scared of my own running shadow,
Feeling miserable, I pulled myself together,
Reaching the fire lit place where all got gather,
It made sense that there is no such thing as shadow grim,
It was just my own shadow disappearing in my dream...

Excuses after excuses,
Why can't you stop your accuses...
You made my mind confused...
And then, you blamed me and refused...
I wonder if you considered the outcome...
For every doubt you had, you spoke of your income...
I know bad days and stressful challenges have wrapped me tight...
But with gods help, I always lift myself and fight...
If you thought, I would beg you to stay...
Forget it, I have found my own way...
It's not easy to bypass the memories you gave...
For the shattered dreams that's gone in the graves...



©sim

As I walk my way along the path of goodness...
Shattered moments linger through the loneliness...
As I get closer to the destiny, I'm pulled back by the unknown forces...
Feeling scared as I fear for the invisible tortures...
I'm striving my way through, each time I stumble...
Trying to spit words but in vain I mumble...
Fighting my way through the nights wickedness...
Hoping when will I get out of this wilderness...
Perhaps a whisper from above will give me the strength to keep going...
My instincts leap up and positivitates my knowing...
The path is clear but as I start my walk again, the path is blurred and I stumble again...
Soon day breaks and I am left awake soaked in pain..

Watching the stars
The twinkles in the sky
A beautiful shooting star
On which, I close my eyes
To make a wish upon the stars
Forgetting the notch of whys,
That hangs like a cliche
As if, it is all full of lies
A belief for a believer
But upon all my wishes
None has come true ever
Maybe it's just a tear drop
Of the midnight sky
A broken gem that none could stop
From a lonesome cry...

©sim

The sorrow that is weighing me down now
Is the result of being expected too much
We all need time to fly,
If given, one push at a time
A rush into a flight, may lead to
Damaging my own fluttering wings
Yet, if I don't keep a pace
It's just disappointing
And I may surely lose my prime
I do try my best but
The timidness borrows me down
I yearn to drown in your love
For the way you do with me
But this shyness demon,
Raptures my heart and mind
And blinds me, for what I should see...

Bright yellowish moon,
peaking through the top window.
Trees cast a shadow.
Dancing fireflies decorate,
the silent sky with colors.

You don't need to, close your eyes
It's just my steps, and drops of rain
The floor is cold
And you in pain
Darling, let me hold you
It's not a sin....
Baby trust me once
And I'll ask no more
Just holding hands
Let your feelings pour
You don't need to, close your eyes
It's just my steps, and drops of rain
Your trembling hands
Touch my face
I know you scared
Just let me embrace
Baby, hold me tight
Look.. don't you cry
It's gonna be okay
With one more try
You don't need to, close your eyes
It's just my steps, and drops of rain
In the ambience of this silence
Rest your head on me
I'll be your padlock
And you my only key
The rain has stopped
Your tears are dry
I hope you understand me
Please don't lie
You don't need to, close your eyes
It's just my steps, and drops of rain

Early morning walks,
Luminous clouds covering
Deserted, dim sky.
Sun peaked through cotton *****,
Flying across, a seaplane.
