The art of speaking, is very challenging
Yet the art of writing, flows like running waters
Aditya Roy Aug 2022
The rain brings back clear memories in clear waters
Or in the form of massive storms that power through
Sometime when the rain's gone and we need no shelter
I'd be with you

There's too much rain now and grey clouds
I keep reminiscing the words spoken and the silent vow
There won't be a tomorrow and a sun on the horizon
But there will be hearts broken and the sun will come out

That's the truth
Aditya Roy Aug 2022
The darkness follows me
As I chase the sunlight
Shadows fall faster than
The tears

I am yearning love I deserve
I can't be with you
Let your warm touch
Reassure me
Aditya Roy Aug 2022
If the Ganges didn't drain into the sea
And the cosmos didn't stretch to eternity
My spirit would look for peace
By resting in painted skies and endless fields

Alas, the river is young and carelessly flows
It carries the silt of the past in its torrent
Some remain stranded on a safe shore
Yet, you chose to brave the current
Aditya Roy Aug 2022
I'm sitting on this park bench meant for two
It's the eve of my birthday right after the end of monsoon
The rain falls weakly with a heaviness in each drop
I miss the times when the thunder drowned out the crowd

I still hear them, the whispers of the past in friends lost
Through poetry, I can give a voice to my sensations
I'm able to temper my restless heart
But I promised to keep you safe when you were little

Life is transient with insecurities deeply entrenched
While all my friends like the seasons have been brief
Still I circle this park bench, I see a different youth
Who was changed because of you
