air

You've become the air I breathe,
yet you manage to leave me,
breathless everytime

another fault

Sreeyaa Jun 2020

another fault

maybe, it's just another fault,
of this cruel universe,
that every time our paths cross,
i'm the one with a bleeding heart,
which is so very hard to nurse,
and everytime, it's all your loss

the point being, you always had me to lose, while, i had nothing. you weren't mine in the first place. pfft, ik i'm confusing

#heartbreak #love

are you too?

Sreeyaa Jun 2020

are you too?

I am not afraid of falling in love,
I'm afraid of being the only one that falls

ashes

Sreeyaa May 2020

ashes

And sometimes I wished,
I could burn my memories of you,
and glaze my canvas with the ashes- grey no hues

burned

Sreeyaa May 2020

burned

He was fire,
smouldering hot,
I held him closer,
didn’t care I'd get burned

catch sight of me

Sreeyaa Jun 2020

catch sight of me

I'm a streak of amber,
on a canvas splashed in gold,
waiting to be noticed, to be loved,
before I fade away with time,

so, pick me, choose me, love me
ps. this is one of my fav from grey's

Caution!!

Sreeyaa Dec 2020

Caution!!

His favourite game,
Is waking butterflies and breaking hearts,
Tearing them apart.

Why, I don’t know.

dark

Sreeyaa May 2020

dark

Bright city lights,
I’ve never seen dark nights,
except the ones in my head,
only darkness seems to spread

Darker Secrets

Sreeyaa Aug 2020

Darker Secrets

can you read my mind,
see all those words,
that you’ve probably never heard,
from my mouth, they weren’t kind.

Sometimes, there are people who aren’t worth cursing or confronting.

drunk

Sreeyaa Jun 2020

drunk

the night before,
drunk mind,
sober heart,

the morning after,
sober mind,
drunk heart,

the mind's mistake,
the heart's curare.

eclipse

Sreeyaa Jul 2020

eclipse

you eclipsed the darkness,
igniting in my soul,
saw some brightness,
made me feel whole

my body, flints of ember

for a fleeting second,
the nebula glittered brighter,
my pulse quickened,
wanted to hold on tighter

every moment, i remember

but, alas, for you and i,
together time ticks a lil' too soon,
we gotta say goodbye, as soon as hi,
we're so like the sun and moon

to fate, we just surrender

#eclipse #love #sun #moon

every line

Sreeyaa May 2020

every line

Flipping pages,
I see blots of tears,
ink smudged,
in almost every page,
every line’s about you

#heartbreak #tears #love #cry #anxious

every song of my track

Sreeyaa Jun 2020

every song of my track

it seems like yesterday,
waking up to you,
everything i do everyday,
just reminds me of you

every note i sing,
screams your name,
you bruised my wing,
didn't miss your aim

your name's engraved,
in every song of my track,
every second i crave,
to be in your arms, back

it's been years, since,
it's all in the past,
i now don't wince,
hearing your name, atlast

i made my peace,
the memory of you,
has long since ceased,
haunting me, it's true

yet, your name's engraved,
in every song of my track,
every second i crave,
to be in your arms, back

sounds conflicting, i know

#heartbreak #love

everytime

Sreeyaa May 2020

everytime

And everytime,
I see those
sparkling dark eyes,
I fall in love
a little more than before,
yet another time

fallen crown

My traitorous heartbeat,
just won't slow down,
tryin' to be discreet ,
with my fallen crown.

fAlliNG

Gaurded mind,
caged heart,
hit by cupid's dart,
and feelings unwind,

no matter how hard you try, sometimes, you can't help but fall in love

forest fire

Sreeyaa Jun 2020

forest fire

You sparked a fire in me, it's true,
that burned every feeling but a few,
pleasure at first, and then the pain,
damage done, before it could even rain

And now, I can't find a way to put it out

#fire #feelings

gaze

Sreeyaa May 2020

gaze

I feel your gaze,
my soul’s on fire,
you’ve set it ablaze

her eyes

Sreeyaa Jul 2020

her eyes

her eyes wrecked havoc,
left him totally dumbstruck,
like the stormy clouds,
that controlled the raging seas,
they spoke volumes, so loud,
got him down on this knees

@kyraembers and I used exchange poems in tenth grade, when we felt class was too boring. and yesterday, she thought, for old time's sake, we could do it again. so, here's mine. where's your's, @kyraembers?

Kind

Sreeyaa May 2020

Kind

Poison in my mind,
my heart isn't free,
love hasn't been kind,
was it only to me ?

lights

Sreeyaa Nov 2020

lights

sparkling lights, yellow and red,
swaying in the breeze, dancing,
to it's tunes, for the better times ahead

Happy Diwali!

Long time

Sreeyaa Apr 2020

Long time

It’s been a long time since you let me go,
Does it still hurt that bad?
I don’t know
But it’s been a while,since I’ve been sad

love

Sreeyaa May 2020

love

sometimes,
you need to love yourself ,
to love someone else.

#selflove

love says,

Sreeyaa Jun 2020

love says,

Hate and I,
we aren't much different,
neither of us ever shy,
we're both transparent

Hate and I,
we're both very stubborn,
sometimes we make you lie,
cause some heart burn

Hate and I,
we're both very needy,
at times we'll make you cry,
I'd say we're very greedy

Hate and I,
we'll both make you care,
we'll make you pry,
you'll hate to share

Hate and I,
between us is a thin line,
a lot of laws we defy,
don't have a definite design

Hate and I,
we'll put you on the edge,
we're eye for an eye,
never been a void to wedge

#love #hate

masks

Sreeyaa Jun 2020

masks

We all got so used to wearing so many different masks,
that we quite forgot about the literal one, well, until now

misconceptions

Sreeyaa Jun 2020

misconceptions

love isn't blind,
she has sharp eyes,
eye's that can find,
even the most artistic lies

love isn't deaf,
she has the most sensitive ears,
she can hear your fears,
hear you hold your breath

love isn't madness,
she's what keeps you sane,
the color on your blank canvas,
the blood that runs through your veins

i have no idea where this came from

#love #misconceptions

moon

Sreeyaa May 2020

moon

I loved like the moon,
dodging a million stars,
I chased the sun, only to,
find out, the sun was also a star

#sun #moon #stars #love

moonlight

Sreeyaa Jun 2020

moonlight

sitting beneath
                                                        the starless sky,
the silver moonlight
                                                          kissed my skin,
more tonight
                                                         more than you ever did.

not weak

Sreeyaa May 2020

not weak

Red, puffed eyes,
tear stained cheeks,
I look up at the sky,
I whisper, I’m not weak,

I am not weak

New found determination,
I scream, I shout,

I. Am. Not. Weak.

pretty things

Sreeyaa Jun 2020

pretty things

Pretty things in life,
always take some time,
like it does for a bud to bloom,
for now, go, dance with your demons

scintillations

Sreeyaa Jul 2020

scintillations

breath taking,
like the solar nebula,
blended with bursts,
of amber and lilac,
and splashed elagantly,
a lil' of coral and teal,
the world twinkled,
sparks of rich silver,
soft scintillations,
in her eyes

I'm obsessed with people's eyes,
cause most times, only they speak the truth

I wish you would look at me,
the way you look at the dreamy sea

secrets

Sreeyaa Jan 2022

secrets

It takes no time
for naive eyes,
To always betray
the secrets of the heart

Hey, I know it's been a long time since I even wrote something, but here I am :)

silver feathers

Sreeyaa Jul 2020

silver feathers

and at that moment, i knew,
if my love for you,
had wings, silver feathers to fly,
it'd come back to you,
wherever you are, under the sky

<3

Smile

Sreeyaa Apr 2020

A ghost of a smile,
Graced her lips,
And it’s gonna be a while,
Before it slips.

snow

snow

I long to know,
what it would feel like ,
to touch some snow

well, I've always lived in humid places and visited places only during the spring

#longing #snow

sometimes,

Sreeyaa May 2020

sometimes,

you can't help
but hate
what you love
the most

what you love
the most
can be the reason
you can't love
anymore

what you love
the most
can sometimes
rip you
apart
in cold blood

soon,

Sreeyaa Jun 2020

soon,

one day,
you'll see me fly,
soar so high,
that you'll wonder,
if you had ever,
clipped my wings

My souls on fire,
And it’s gonna flicker out soon

It's been a long time,
since I stepped out of the dark,
I think it's a crime,
where's my spark?

Midnight sky,
stars so high,
I wanna touch them each,
but they're so out of my reach

strength

Sreeyaa Jun 2020

strength

It takes a lot of strength,
to write about youself,
than to write about,
someone else

stuck

Why is my throbbing heart,
present in the present,
but stuck in the past?

sugar rush <3

Sreeyaa May 2023

sugar rush <3

everytime our fingers brush,
i can see sparks flying,
two bright stars colliding,
feels like i'm on a sugar rush

every time our eyes meet,
i can see your eyes glowing,
so like the sun, uff, burning,
oh, i know it's a treat, so sweet

everytime you smile at me,
i can see meteors showering,
soft stardust falling,
eyes light up with so much glee

everytime our lips touch,
i can see the sky exploding,
so many fireworks shooting,
god, it all feels a little too much

everytime our bodies fit, so right,
i can see the nebula glittering,
little asteroids shattering,
gleaming pieces, our souls lit so bright

everytime our fingers brush,
i can see sparks flying,
two bright stars colliding,
feels like i'm on a sugar rush

I'm so in love

sultry roses

Sreeyaa May 2020

sultry roses

She stood out,
innocent and artless,
she was a daisy,
in a room filled with sultry roses

sun

Sreeyaa Jun 2020

sun

They say the sun,
was selfless to a fault,
he died everyday,
to let the moon get,
a glimpse of the world

#sun #moon #love #pure #selfless

sunrise

Sreeyaa Jun 2020

sunrise

the dusk kissed the dawn goodbye,
glittering moon, sparkling stars,
bursts of gold melting on the lilac sky,
streaks of amber, as the shimmering sun rose

Sreeyaa Aug 2020

s u r v i v e

and i'm still here,
even after you left,
gasping for air,

struggling,
still breathing,
heart still beating,
blood still flowing,

soul burning,
there's so much pain,
bright, then flickering,

time's flying,
i've stopped crying,
i've been surviving,
just not living

it takes time,
everything takes time,
till then, bear with it :)

that the full moon has on the ragin' tides
