Dissembled Movie
Aditya Roy Oct 2018
Life's different takes
But cut from the script
Black white is all it takes
You just have to live it
For it to be colored vividly
To find meaning
Silence is the argument of
Silent movie
"Try to be a rainbow in someone's cloud"-Maya Angelou

Life's Lenses
Aditya Roy Oct 2018
Crawling through
Through trenches
Found my way with the fences
But trapped
By Panzers
Clicked their pictures
But didn't catch their
Canons

Tried and Tested
Aditya Roy Oct 2018
Girls waiting alone
In need
Hoping for
Life giving them
A turn
Of adventure
Or just an change
Of venture
Boys waiting at home
Lonesome
From the war
Climbing through vines
I see myself coming closer
To the top
Than creeping closely to
The bottom
Following lively lines
Taking example
From step
I tread
And
At the top
I've found definition
Life's every decision

God's Platitude

Getting a hint of blue
I look at the bluest colors

Even though it's transparent

Coffee And Typewriter

God The Asteroid
Aditya Roy Oct 2018
Counting stars
Fire
For eternity
Counting the comets
Of ice
As shooting stars
Inadvertently
Pelting stones
On your window
Hoping for a
Distant glimpse of you
Looking at my nebulous existence

Clouded Doubts
Aditya Roy Oct 2018
In peace
I reflect upon myself
And I see nothing in the mirror
Of what's seemingly fair
I guess it's imperfect
Even though it's rare
Having dubious doubts
About future debts
Peace isn't pecuniary
It's a 100-yard stare
"happiness depends upon ourselves"-Aristotle

Incandescence

God in heaven
Hallowed be thy name
Make your blessing
By surname

Bed's Made

I'm still dreaming of the petrichor
After thinking about it before
Looking for other words

Americana
Aditya Roy Oct 2018
On The Blazing Bus
The Oranges have a deeper blue
Republicans
For Us
Than the what we've read in the news
The smoke
That billows
Swallows
The education that
You could've sold
Rising with the use
Drowning in the fumes
Silence is argument carried out by other means.-Che Guevara

I'm your coffee
Keeping you awake
When you sleep
During the day

War Of The Words
Aditya Roy Oct 2018
Bloodied by the day
Murderous by the hour
The pen of journalism
Has got us
Hooked by the power
Swords are history
Still they are the fences
Of conduct and the boundaries
A tip of the hat
To old society
So I guess the pen is mightier than the sword
When you take down flowers
When you look at the newspaper
By the war of words
“Your very flesh shall be a great poem...”
― Walt Whitman

Night In One Day

Me awake
When you're asleep
I'm the moon to your sun
Your lover in the long long run

Caged By My Haze
Aditya Roy Oct 2018
Too far
Afar
I depart
From when
Life's start
seems far
But
when you look
At the past
Lastly
the further you
Go
The farther
They part
From the past
So it's
just looking
For seats
In a box car
Mostly,
Because life's
Isn't about coping with
With the chase and the race
And making love fair
In faithless wars
It's taking it slowly
Taking life by it's reigns
Leading
From
The backseat
I notice my age
When I read about
The old ages
In newer pages
I guess the newspaper
Speaks of tomorrow
On certain days
"Whither goest thou, America, in thy shiny car in the night?"-Jack Kerouac

Mercurial Moon
Aditya Roy Oct 2018
The sun light
Brings the faces
In the light
Of the Day
At night the
Red Moon takes
Their
Love
And runs away
Along the waters
Reflecting
Along the way
"My fault, my failure, is not in the passions I have, but in my lack of control of them."-Jack Kerouac

Vulpine
Aditya Roy Oct 2018
Enough counting
Stars in poems
I want to be puzzled
By the firmament
Enough of having power
Over men
I'd rather they'd have
Luckier stars
When it comes to
Saving sisters
That aren't ours
Pretending they're perfect
"Knowledge speaks, but wisdom listens"-Jimi Hendrix

Supernova
Aditya Roy Oct 2018
I was in love
With her
I am out love
O'er her
Still not the faintest
Clue
Where am I
Supposed to be
Like a singularity
In a black-hole
Lost for eternity
"I do not wish women to have power over men; but over themselves."-Mary Wollstone Shelley

Starry Night
Aditya Roy Oct 2018
Started with counting stars
Now the end's near
I count my place among the stars
That traveled with me along the years
Taming temperamental celestial bodies
With planets in the sphere
To give them gravity
Telling the extraterrestrials we are here
Within the milky ways and multitudes of galaxies
I find myself dormant
When nature's near
Because I know
That I'll never be taller than the alpines
That seem arboreal
And lighter than the breeze
That brushes against those needles
Of the cold climatic cones
Along the lurking lines
And really,
that's where I am alone
She walks in beauty, like the night
In cloudless climes and starry skies
all that's best of what's dark and bright
-Lord Byron

Love's curse
Aditya Roy Oct 2018
My life
In my words
Best spoken
In someone
Else's voice
It's love's curse

Hootenanny
Aditya Roy Oct 2018
How do owls stay awake at night
Because they have beautiful
Quills
For flight
Where do owls stay
In the burrows
Sleeping in the wrong tomorrows

Chainsaw

Laying by the lake

Evaporating Lately

The place was a crowd
But in her eyes
I felt a little older
Stuck in the crowd

Night Breeze
Aditya Roy Oct 2018
Near the gilded rocks
The shore
Stays the sea
That stays near the land

Locks
Eyes with the sun
On the horizon

Past and Time Present
Aditya Roy Oct 2018
She takes her place
By the stars
In space
Intended by grace
I met her through the years
Missed her
Presence in the air
The memories
Kept me alive

Bleached
Aditya Roy Oct 2018
Sands in the storm
Reflection in the warmth
Of her eyes
Warmth in her sighs
Love's alright
Hand's waving to set you free
By the blazing by the sea
Seagulls in the breeze

Raw

The Long Run
Aditya Roy Oct 2018
Accepting life on a platter
Sounds tiresome
Socially
Unless you matter
When your life goes out of the door
For the pavement
With a satchel
Working for money and change
And working for the latter
In the endless pitter-patter
Of rain
Of droplets
That shatter your heart
But make up your mind
About life Instead
In dread
You think
About looking for different waters
Oct 2018 · 40
Nocturnal
Aditya Roy Oct 2018
The years go by
The prison days stay
With your life
Like school in hind sight
Going to college
To write
Education sets you free
Like night owls
Giving exams

Sunlight On My Shoulders

Places somewhere
Selling cream colored
Vases
Kept in golden colored

In hind sight
Aditya Roy Oct 2018
The streets are racing
Like the sun
Setting light
To the human race
Cars blocking the light
Slowly
I see wings in flight
And i see a bird fly
Into the bright
"We can easily forgive a child afraid of the dark, the real tragedy of life is when men are afraid of light"-Plato

Poetry
Aditya Roy Oct 2018
War torn
Subjectively
Pages torn
Scribbled
To make an esoteric poem

Siberian Huskies
Aditya Roy Oct 2018
In fossilized forests
Of evergreen
Streams flow
Stoically
Because snow hides
The furry canine species
Away from the caribou
Herbaceous and sought after
They approach the gelid waters
With the eyes of the wolves
Seemingly pernicious
And deadly
Somehow
From somewhere
A hermit enters
Without any care
To hunt from the same shore
Ensnared by the bloodied river
Forlorn
Friendly, intelligent, independent and somewhat stubborn
Oct 2018 · 83
Bar Mitzvah
Aditya Roy Oct 2018
Sitting in bars
I ask drinks
That remind me
Of the times
I shouldn't have
wasted
thinking too much
Now I drink too much
And think nothing
At all
Oct 2018 · 78
Harried Women

Butterflies hovering over nectarine
Seeds germinating
Water to help me grow
Slowly
Bringing life to this soul
That makes a butterfly's home

Schmetterling

Butterflies
On my child's face
Covering eyes
With wings
Meant for that place
That innocent countenance

Look Through Wilderness
Aditya Roy Oct 2018
Savannah are you listening
Yes you hurt me
I was once a deer no more
I was lost in the wild
But now found in the jaws
Of the predator that
Caught me for appetite
To rob me of my doe
Into a hunting pride
Hopeful that my offspring
Learns the ways of winning
Against sore losers
Dreaming and sleeping
In the blazing sun
Since they predate
The ways of the world
Where the wildebeest run
And the antelopes
The same as me
They develop
And migrate from zone to zone
Passing by rivers
Sipping the clear
Sliver of zeal
Zest of life
I found trust in my pride
Because I survived
Oct 2018 · 65
Scion
Aditya Roy Oct 2018
A poem
Reads brilliantly
Every time
When a prose
There's rhyme
And reason
To rise
At every lingering
thought
Of every line
It's a Biblical litany
Poetry is a science
For bringing
vivacious lovers
through all kinds of times
Away from their doubting minds
For eternity
Oct 2018 · 65
Fiery Breeze
Aditya Roy Oct 2018
Wars breeze through
And times
and cannonballs fly
Whilst peace time
Weighs down the attitudes of men
Without latitude
For the forgiven
Whilst they stay alive
There is nothing impossible to him who will try-Alexander the Great
Oct 2018 · 662
Life

Temples
Aditya Roy Oct 2018
In houses of God
Lay the glass paintings
Of Jesus
And Mary Magdalene
Uplifting
Religion
With sacrifice
And wisdom
With a God-like intuition
I look at these portrayals
of saints
And hope
I can paint
The same way
Without tainting
Their imagery
Oct 2018 · 48
Shelley's Shell
Aditya Roy Oct 2018
I got a passion to write
But the heat's too much
To preserve the paper
Of my thoughts
Writer's block
O, wind, if winter comes, can spring be far behind?
