The familiar path
We used to walk
The dumb stories
We used to talk —
They never changed

Running in your
White canvas
Soaked in mud,
As I chased you  
Like a little spud.
Till the sunset’s cover—
Stood still in time

Between those little flowers
we picked up,
To the corsages you made—
We grew up.

Your canvas turned
to shiny loafers,
And from chasing you,
To walking down to you —
This feels timeless.

But this is not just till
The sunset’s cover —
But beyond, for
Every sunrise
With my lover

On our familiar path,
Honey,
Now let’s walk home.

When it’s time to leave,
I feel no desire.
I have no regrets —
no remorse,
no love,
no pain.

I let my body
feel numb
in the coldness,
as I curl into myself
along the shore.

when the waves
fetch me,
I want to open my eyes
and see the blue ocean
fading darker
as I sink deeper.

But this is not
the darkness I fear —
but the darkness I dare.

And in the end,
when I see light,
I know I’ve reached
the shore — the heaven.

I look around
and wonder
Why am I forced
into this
scripted realm ?
Why do I have
to fit in
Some timeless motif

My disproportionate desires,
Makes me a misfit here.

All I want to do is
chase the bizarre dreams
my heart longs for,
and go far—
far away from
all this realm.

I wonder,
if I can be in my own
Quiet constellation—
Where nothing is
etched in order.

Where music
hits my heart
and I can dance,
sing along —
and just live.

But i’m stuck here
Sinking in this chaos—
Not living.
Just breathing.

I hoped it would happen —
me and you.
I walked down, hoping to get
a glimpse of you
in that pink hue.

When I saw you,
my heartbeat skipped a few.
But why do I feel so alone ,
though I stand next to you?
What is holding us back —
is it me, or is it you?

Yet again,
a forever quietly became a goodbye — You.

I’m afraid of new connections,
And losing old ones.
Let my life be the same —
It might be boring,
But it’s mine.

No newness can match
The calmness it gives,
The thrill it has,
And the comfort it holds.

In the world of
Newness every day,
I would hold on to
Old ones.

I want this calm to last.

I wanna walk around
Show you places that i love
Tell you stories that i got
And show you how happy i feel
To have you here.

But in the middle
If i become quite
Remember
There was once a girl—
Who lived and loved here
She is trying to—
Live and love again
And if you stay
You might bring her back
Again.

I wrapped my heart in paper
And carried it home today
It was bleeding—
I tried to stop

It was broken—
I tried a fix to
hold it whole
But nothing could
I tried to put it back
And found no soul

I wrapped it again
In the same worn paper
And left it
out to freeze

A gentle gaze found it
Didn't try to mend it
Just stayed with it to heal

As time went by
The bleeding ceased
And cracks closed
A warmth held it all together
What began with a broken heart bouquet
Now looks
beautiful.
