Retreat and Statue
Aditya Roy Nov 2018
Perhaps a stone throw away
Are our children
In Old age
""Self conquest is the greatest of victories."-Plato
Aditya Roy Jul 2019
You make life my desirable
You take my Thursdays and turn them darker
You turn every other day more colorful, and except green returns
We take turns smoking celadon and takoyaki in pots of bridling heat
Hues of a different scenery can change my climbing ladders
And the serene and hundreds of men that live in honesty
Hiding behind trees, and members of the clan
And the camels and deserts sands, change their thirst for water
Like the chameleon, tha climbs for the spider
In a cobweb and a truncheon thing called dishonest cenacles
A group of murders and murderous men, both have a mystery
And enigmatic dirges, that how we die with the faraway celestial bodies
We airbrush strokes in our starlight madness, someday in this carefree heart
Aditya Roy Jul 2021
Everything has a soul
Can fly and set sail, find its own
Wings- paper planes, plastic bags, and school skirts
Carried by the wind, dampened by fears

It is in our eyes full of tears
That they find meaning and purpose
In their flight that won't go on for years
God keeps us on our toes safe from our foes
When we help someone else, we come closest to being our best selves. I think we can be our best version of ourselves if we keep trying. But, it is an endless cycle and people might stop you. You need trudge on.

20 masks
Aditya Roy Jul 2020
She has a mask
For every day
When she loves me
She can't kiss me
As she's got 20 masks
But, the one she has on
Is the one that protects me
From the years of struggle
And destiny
With her I know I am a real person
But, when I cough
She thinks I've got the pandemic
I wonder if love's a serious disease
Or COVID

Once Again Pt. 1
Aditya Roy Jun 2023
As I sketch your face in grains of loose sand
The waves crash and the ocean sighs
The skies call out to me in the chatter of stars
I hear your name tonight

The mystical song of the thunder plays
A magical flute serenades me tonight
My heart dances in step with the waves
Yet, I hear your name tonight
89 · Jan 2021
Truthful and Simple
Aditya Roy Jan 2021
For a person being alone
Is a form of recluse
Because they have no excuse
For letting people into their tiny worlds

When we grow choosing who we let in
Or world collapses as bricks do
Out comes the dust and rubble
And emptiness subdued

In life there is no taking
After death, nothing follows us
If we leave love below
We shared something human and true
89 · Dec 2018
My Brother
Aditya Roy Dec 2018
The life of the party
Keeping kids
Away from drugs
I am an only child by the way.

Song of the Unheard
Aditya Roy Jul 2022
I know what I'll name this song
It will shoot stars in your stomach
The music of the verses will make you long
For a word that is no more or less for the ******

This is a song for you but not me
It will be clear that my pain is an ache
The river of gold in these lines will run free
You can share this disease

It's a song that means so much to me
You'll just fake a laugh and clear the air
I like a fool will read into every gesture
That's my nature
89 · Jun 2023
One
Aditya Roy Jun 2023
One
If I call out your name
It feels as if I hearing it
For the first time
Because the heart doesn't know

That I've found the one
89 · Feb 2021
C'est La Amour
Aditya Roy Feb 2021
If you haven't felt the soul crushing joy of being adored
Your arms are yet to be filled with the body of someone
You cherish and adore
It is like adorning a warm sweater in autumn

If you haven't felt the vibrations of the universe when in love
You need to give yourself to her hugs
And she will surrender herself to your charms
With every word and kiss, you shall feel disarmed

If you haven't felt truly complete frisson
You haven't found the right person
Who can level you with her eyes
And disguise
89 · Aug 2019
Rain Song
Aditya Roy Aug 2019
Stars on the bright sky
Midnight starry light
Come out of the cloudless child
Round moon change us today
A new day of the year of the tiger
Scarred skies taking down falling mandrake cries
Rooted in lonesome stargazers gallant souls
Looking at the stars makes realize how I'm small
I am small after all, never in my wildest dreams
Did I try to count the stars in the sky
I just waited to catch them instead

Catch a falling star
And never let it fade away
Save it for a rainy day
89 · Nov 2018
Sadness in Shambles
Aditya Roy Nov 2018
The time talks
About the life
Fading from memory
Life takes time
In the end
You just hope
The forgetful ones
Talk about you
Inadvertently
Sensing you
89 · Jul 2019
Akin To Your Namelessness
Aditya Roy Jul 2019
You shuffle through the streets unnoticed
Sincerely yours
I have to keep your thoughts in my pocket
Shuffling through a pocket full of things in the process of unpredictability
I mess up my numb fingers cut up by the struggle of possessions
These things need my immediate memory

Love And Happiness
Aditya Roy Aug 2019
If you're in pain
You're hurt
Not by stumbling onto love, but by skipping happiness
Take a leap of faith on, to the bridge of life
And you'll know life could better with a little love
Trusting people is that leap of faith
That is the power of knowledge, and what it offers
If I'm wrong, I don't want to be right
No one can be certain of the brilliance of law of cause and effect
Dedication, determination, the diligence that's the way of life and eradicating evil strife
89 · Dec 2020
Girls wanna have fun
Aditya Roy Dec 2020
To me all girls look the same
The women who love having fun
Look as indistinguishable as each petal
On a flower under the radiant sunshine
But, girls become women
Dreams become reality
Everyone undergoes change
Change is constant
But, transformation is rare
Girl, you'll be a woman someday
One of my rare poems.

Deaf and Dumb
Aditya Roy Jul 2021
Press your ears against her
Heart
And tell the world she was beautiful
With yours
Note for the day: Be kind to your future lovers.

Jetlag Lago
Aditya Roy Aug 2019
Have no pillow
I take my heart in a coroner
Report
Leave my tools on the gold mine
Fools can take my fold
Sting my ray
Lark my lackey and strike my bow
I need come and take me away
Live in the east wind and lasso my west wind
Keep my odious gold here and there
Ladle on the minor Asian, and Odoriferous gold
Report
My mortared soul
Take my breath away, with lava lamps
I'm just here in the right fast lane
I need a deluge, a guy needs a space
My ghoul, my Tokyo dream, breathlag
Jetlag

Poverty Poetry
Aditya Roy Jan 2019
Sweeps the
Dirt on his clothes
With disappointment in the heart
Coming to a broken
Home to lost souls
Looking for his mum
Stop throwing kids
On the street
Where they have no name
And no identity
Give them homes
Illegal immigrants
Somehow get trapped
In this country
Smiles of gold, they had stolen the change from a rich stranger's pockets.
Aditya Roy Jan 2021
Your wings tell me
That you're an albatross in the sky
It's your profound pain
That tells me you're death's kiss

It's my past and heartbreaks
That tells me we're right back to love
But, the mistakes repeat again
Whispers echo in my soul and memories drain me


But, where are we going?
Something else tells me I'll find myself
But, not today
Today I like being lost in your arms

Book Of Feathers
Aditya Roy Dec 2018
I guess I cut myself on the crossroads
And mishandled the mars bars
That’s my sordid story of obesity
Pulling many shots at the crossbar
From my cornucopia

Still losing at the penalty spot
Talents seem the best
Ought to
When shared with the company of strangers
And strangers do have the talent to read you
Like a presentable book of feathers
You may have the best adroitness
But the “the end” is
You’re just an altruist
Actions make up your reactions
Open the left of the page like Manga.
88 · Jul 2021
Just jump
Aditya Roy Jul 2021
It is frightening
So, I say don't give in to the inner critic
Spend it praying tomorrow

Love can be beautiful
Accept it
The heart needs direction

The heart is foolish
It just loves
Give it a brain to rely on

What once made up the moments
That brought us so much joy
Become a blur
And no one is to blame for that

Just accept you were wrong
A poet's essay on love.
88 · Oct 2020
Can't Hold it anymore
Aditya Roy Oct 2020
Life is a long road
Full of metaphors
Full of humor
Life is a long run

I haven't had got the shoes
So, I put myself in someone's skin
They say, the days move by
But, the nights die with the sword

I remember a man hanging
From the crescent moon
With his eyes on the stars
And heart on the lonely earth
Having only his loneliness

Which he couldn't contain
So he shared it
With the world
In the form of love
What is contemporary?
Is it always modern.
Or a form of novelty that takes
On a different form of understanding
That most of share as our own.
88 · May 2020
I shall wade
Aditya Roy May 2020
In the depths of bottled oceans
Beneath the tides of scuttling waves where I find seagulls none
Where fish stride the torrential current
Reside in patience as they turret
Only to find themselves in the shelter of midnight
Oh so gay, without a reason to prise elation tonight
Part 1
88 · Oct 2018
Plum and Prunes
Aditya Roy Oct 2018
You seem like poetry
I can call you nice things
And whisper for more
Whisk the rhyme
The lines
Explain the meaning
Of the score
Of the musicality
The thing to judge in any jazz artist is, does the man project and does he have ideas.-Miles Davis
88 · Aug 2019
Bless It
Aditya Roy Aug 2019
I’m pulling out
My called card
And raising my stakes, and cocking my gun
Ready to break my breath, and stop my ****** brain
Blood rush to the routine head of this headful dreams
Shoot me into the unopened heaven gate
You have sealed the gates with a blood crest and sacrificial altar
Calling her from the west, and lookng blindly at blindness
These people have only seen bacchanus
Stuck in gloryholes and hellposts
88 · Nov 2018
Further Than Squall
Aditya Roy Nov 2018
You came with the wind
So fast
The words were slower
88 · Jun 2019
Lie To Me
Aditya Roy Jun 2019
Smells like teen agony, and the familiarness stays on scarred
Away from spirits being free
Living in destinies beyond your feet
Walking paths beyond comprehension
That is all might and a symbol of peace
Waiting for my own
Probably, realizing the rest assured
You'll be mine and measures
No more joy here again
Less is more
Let's get on with the training
Further down the pursuit of satisfaction
88 · Aug 2019
Equivalence
Aditya Roy Aug 2019
I'm going off
I'm going out of the
Simple leisures, very complicated

Great-Grandfather's Clock
Aditya Roy Oct 2018
Time after time
I could find myself
Looking at the years differently
Aditya Roy Jul 2019
The tramps of the old England
The diamonds of Sierra Leone, the jungles lost in em
The tremble of the thimble of wattles, in this barren desert
Ottoman Empire quit Cold Turkey, the racks told me I could slice in
The majesty's service looked like it would rise with the sun
Bleeding like London sky, the rain always came
Too bad, the rain never Brexits, intending to leave, but, now the Sun will never come out
Aditya Roy Jan 2021
I know I miss your heart
I miss your art
Your shapes and curves
I know these are things I miss

As the world turns round from night to day
Your memories last a century
But, there is no solace
From the moments we shared

When I know I miss your arms
I imagine those hands touch the sky
With a little skip and sigh
A lasso steals the sun and the light dies

You brighten up the midnight
Is there anything else I missed?
Yes.
You!

The beauty of it all
Aditya Roy Jan 6
You and I will fall in love
In an endless song that goes on and on
That is found in the gentle sway of the trees
As well as the storms that alert the seas

The stars may shiver in the distance
Yet every morning there is a sun for you and I
A kiss is a moment of kindness
Your hug is an instant remedy

Your laugh, whispers, and cries make a complex melody
I'm fiddling with my hair every time I think of you
On some days, my heart doesn't believe in us
Time and time again, it will hold onto its purpose
Aditya Roy Mar 2019
Why throw away yourself at another woman's arms
Peaches and cream and the passion and hardly writing
There's be no doubt y'all
A praise a worshipping phase of welling tears
And the years for your enemies making the time for your equals
Keep the pressure under the pager
Turn it on
Keep out of the park
It can't be found
Got personal
Took you out
Had pencil shades of your portrait
The hive the imagination of an old man
How's Dad and what's answer
Are gonna stay, play the same game
Home alone and never coming out
Staying at your place your T-shirt
Not taking a chance, it's too cold outside and
This is getting kinda cheesy

The sketches of you
Summer and stone cold like a buttercup under the weather
With the freaks and the underwriters and the scammers from the IRS
And terrifying nice try
There is a frozen expression
With the impression and the same way I was made for your pulse and energy
The rhyme and the distractions
Are pooling in the effect
With the range of motion foreign
There was a place I could stay and go to
They told to stay in the visions
They felt bad about us
And tell us to behave ourselves
And get better
From the start
The yellow cased window and the blue shirt
Made a green signal
Don't explore the art of the deal
The people ready to bawl at the sight
Of violence
There's no effort and no love
A couple of paintings of sadness
Silence is another means of justice in the perception of a classic example of a poor inception.
Aditya Roy Jul 2019
The winds of change
Come to travelers, dangerously defiant of denial
Although, denial comes with age

Learning To Fly
Aditya Roy Jul 2020
When I fell into depression
It felt as if I was being dragged
By a stone tied to my feet
Into an endless ocean
I guess I never learned to swim
Everyone got far ahead of me
At least I learned to float
To stay alive
87 · Oct 2018
Evaporating Lately
Aditya Roy Oct 2018
The place was a crowd
But in her eyes
I felt a little older
Stuck in the crowd
Aditya Roy Jul 2019
The lassos that touch the sky
Pull it down
Maybe, I should keep my head in the clouds
Near clods and the lassos touched the stars

Ad Sic Pro Quo

Paint and anoint all the colors
Bleed into one
Color my face into anyone, like a nosegay
If I love, it is because of you

Fustilugs Has An Admirer
Aditya Roy Oct 2018
So guess what?

What?

My crush texted me
"I've been thinking about hanging out, a lot."
Out of the blue
Without hint or clue

Then what did you say, girl!

Lemme, lemme finish first
So I reply, I haven't in a while
But, since it might be friendly not a flirt
So why not comply

Why not indeed, good on you
Then what

So he says well
I had to go buy some things for mother's party
We can perhaps catch a movie
Instead

I thought splendid
So asked him when will mother buy the return presents

Then?

She's coming with us to the date
And he didn't ask her to leave us 'lone, for ****'s sake
Hope, you enjoy at the least.
87 · Mar 2023
If You
Aditya Roy Mar 2023
It felt just right
Your hand intertwined
In my fingers, and hair
Lazing on my shoulders
But I couldn’t say the right words
To keep our hearts together
Beating as one
And arms holding one another
Aching for each other’s touch
I could have tried a little harder
To be someone else
But this is who I am
An emotional wreckage looking for some solace
If in those moments of my angry impulses
You cannot accept me
Do not be ashamed because I am yet to accept myself
For who I am along with all the mistakes that come along
With it
No one knows what tomorrow brings
I hope that I am a different person every breaking day
But when the sun comes out and in my vast sea of regrets
I’ll find some peace knowing that with you
I had found some acceptance for who I was
Some gratitude for who I’ve become
You taught me to love and to live life
I found the essence of everything in nature
It continued to stir my soul and reinvigorate that lost zeal
That I thought would never come back, suddenly it all
Came back to me

Deletion of the Euphoric
Aditya Roy Nov 2018
When's world's asleep
Like bare innocence
When the question's run deep
Barely innocent
The world dreams of leaps
Innocently bared
Of its heaps

Diamonds and Rust
Aditya Roy May 2020
A gaze from crystalline eyes
Is a worth a million mines
If only I could find her in the places
I go to to find romance
Instead I find diamonds and rust
Some days are diamonds and some days are stone.

Dousing Flames

My letters to you weep
Lay burned in the fireplace
Sad as my glances, the jokes burn in a popping fire
My tears could douse the flames like a chimney sweep

Serene In Its Innocence
Aditya Roy Feb 2019
Girls are beautiful
Men are boys
Flowers are meant for innocence
Love is like a rising sun
Meant me and you
Imagine if the setting sun
Was much more romantic
When we were washed by the pain
Of a thousand setting suns and awashed seas
You learn more from ten days from agony than ten years of content.

Flight Again
Aditya Roy Mar 2020
If tomorrow we could be friends. Would it be end of an eagle's life. Or the beginning of a vibrant communication among the little birds. I write and feed the birds. I need time to think and I know that I do not hope to see a brighter future. Why should the aged eagle stretch its vapid feathers blanched in age. Why should I be sorry for my speed demon.

Much like love
Makes me happy
So does friendship
Simple pleasures

Lonesome Blue Sky
Aditya Roy May 2020
I was in loneliness
Like a fish swimming in an ocean
Only looking for other fish in a solitary ocean
To me everyone is different
When they are together
In the rounds of this blue world
Where the tint of the sky
Callously hangs over the cloud
You can touch the firmament of the diamond sky
As long as you can hold your ground
In your lonely air
Some poems of the top of my head.
86 · Jul 2019
You Are The Sunflower
Aditya Roy Jul 2019
The simplicity of tradition
Is worshipping every
Religious revelation without volition
