बैठा मैं मंदिर में भी मस्जिद में भी,
ना भगवान का अक्स दिखा,हुआ ना अल्लाह का एहसास,
आज खुद पे तरस खाकर बोल उठा मैं,
खुदा कभी हमारा भी तो तू दीदार कर,
देख कबसे बैठे हैं तेरी चाह लेकर,
तू हमसे भी तो कभी प्यार कर,
ढूँडते हुए तुझे देख बरसों बीत गये,
क्यूँ लूँ मैं अब राम नाम,
जंग तो यहाँ रावण जीत गये,
लगता है आज मेरे लफ्ज़ नहीं,मेरी पीड़ा उस तक पहुँची थी,
और वो बोल उठा,
कण-कण में हूँ मैं,षण-षण में हूँ मैं,
क्यूँ मुझे इन दीवारों से जकड़ा हुआ समझा जाने लगा,
वो नदी भी हूँ मैं,वो पर्वत भी हूँ मैं,
सोच छोटी हुई तुम्हारी,और मैं भी बाँटा जाने लगा,
नेकी करने भेजा तुझे,यह ज़िंदगी तूने यूँ ही गवाँ दी,
आँकी नहीं इस जीवन की कीमत तूने,
और सारी की सारी मंदिर-मस्जिद में बिता दी.
You need to save yourself before you can save anyone else, alright,
but that doesn't mean that you have to save yourself alone;
heros are never alone.
Thank you Ms. Wiebe for being here for me.
I needed that.

God, I'm naive, but I don't care.
At the moment I am young and beautiful
And I ache to experience the world twice over

one day,
someone's going to
come along and convince
you're made of stardust
and laughter
a lovechild of
venus and saturn
looks at you and wonder
how you happened
and you'll finally
finally believe it

A Dash of Red
Sometimes I find myself with likenesses of water.
To most, I am to be drank,
Taken in, one sip at a time.
But I warn you,
Don’t drink too much of me,
You might just drown.

I can be crystal clear,
Or muddy and darkened,
However, no matter what I am,
It doesn’t take much to see right through me.
All it takes is a little something,
And all becomes clear to anyone who dares to look inside.

I can be beautiful,
Mysterious,
Depressing,
Dangerous...

My emotions are most comparable to the Atlantic,
I’m there, at the beach,
Though most days I’m a little too cold to fully enjoy.
I can give life,
To things that range from small and beautiful,
To large and horrific.

I connect things one wouldn’t expect,
Like Belgium and Mexico,
See?  Didn’t expect that, did you?

I’m a little different to everyone,
When I use a term as general as “water”,
But let’s go to the heart of it all.
All bodies of water begin and end with the oceans.
And at the heart of each of those…

Is a storm

A hurricane,
Whirlpool,
Tidal wave,
Tsunami…

Enjoy me all you want,
But one day,
I’ll destroy everything
Even myself
I don't know if this poem has any flow to it, or if it's even understandable.
I guess my thoughts are a little stormy right now as well.

Axiom

Axiom does not lie upon the
plush bed of the words I've said.
It doesn't flourish under influence of the
flowery texts I've written.
Axiom does not fully exist behind the
actions I've deliberately displayed.

It is ingrained within the subtle folds,
inexplicable nuances
and playful innuendos.
It is present in the lull you find in between
fleeting memories and faltering heartbeats.
It is scored into the unlyricised songs,
sung when our breaths do meet.
It's in the unplanned gazes that
stray into nothingness
only to be caught by yours.
It's evident in the void... The silence we've shared
without ever feeling awkward.

Axiom...
Is the fall that you had anticipated
only after having taken the leap.
It's that feeling of not knowing where the bottom is
but yet still certain that you are safe.

Axiom is...
My unseen heart as it beats hard
for none other than you.

I like how the moon
is out in the daytime
and that I can see it
while I drive.

Sometimes I talk to
the moon and ask it
if I’m doing what I’m
being called to do.

The moon never
answers me, but
instead is silent
and doesn’t offer
advice or remark
on what I should
or should not be
doing.

In the silence
of the moon,
I remember
that I have my
own voice, that I
am my own creator,
my own master, my
own, my own.

I do not have to seek
approval from the moon,
from you, from anyone.

We are celestial, the moon
and I.  Made of the same
cosmic chaos and calamity.

The moon and I, for now,
have the same fate, the same
destiny.

We will simply continue
to be.

Nothing.
I feel nothing,
No feelings,
No love.

I want to feel something,
I can't feel any love,
No pain,
Not even any sadness.

Numbness,
Thats all I feel,
I want it to go away,
My heart longs for happiness.
