For you not me
Aditya Roy Jun 2020
As heaven's angels glow with the grace of few
And our Earth basks in delight of such beauty
None would be kinder or lovelier than you
And if celestial bodies wandered free
As it would be no easy task to mourn or woe
Take respite from the desert of endless time
Be with me through beautiful cosmic shores
If you watch for the stars, I will temper tides
I will be in your sweet thoughts, soundless
As the heavens shine in otherworldly splendor
And holding us in its unseen presence
Possessed by your sadness and others'
If the stars were not so far from lovers
I would brighten in your lovely laughter

Village Idiot
Aditya Roy Jul 2020
You cast a spell on me
Put me in space
Where I am the center of the universe

How did you know
So much love
My friend

If you wanted to wake up
Why did you wake me up
Did you love someone?

I love our world
I think it shouldn't be hurt
Or destroyed

It must be reborn.
38 · Jun 2020
Seems different
Aditya Roy Jun 2020
Once, I loved you
Now I hear you
In my heart
Like a distant cry in a dark rainforest
I guess it is still raining tears
Because the cries have gone silent
Ever since you went away
Seems different now

The Strangest
Aditya Roy May 2020
Sometimes we
Run into danger
When the
Truth seems stranger
Than fiction
Talk of migrant crisis has got me wondering of our government's role in the whole affair.

Heal Yourself
Aditya Roy Jun 2020
If you think you have
Hurt someone
Remember, people
Never realize the difference
Those who do
Are the ones who have been heartbroken
38 · Mar 2020
Romance
Aditya Roy Mar 2020
Say you want to be a fish
I will catch you
Like a falling Lord
If we are cruising like ships
The lilacs would bloom
Say our love is like stargazing
I pick you out
Among the most beautiful galaxies
Bewitched like angels and air
Wrecking heart be still like
Earth wind and fire
Often birds fly during evening
These are some things we watch
As we have time to lay supine
Next to the frescoes of Jesus and Mary
Underneath the belly of a Basilisk
Vehement protest comes from the hall
They told us love is forbidden
But, the last kiss moves earth
This world is not ours
At least we have shared poignant time
I'll believe you'll say I hate corny jokes
38 · Jul 2020
The Way I See It
Aditya Roy Jul 2020
The way I look at it
You can either
Accept your fate
Learn from destiny

If it is difficult
To find the two
In the long run
Then, life is a long stretch

Look at the present
Instead of the past and
Predicting the future
Expecting everything will be new
38 · Jul 2019
Worst Experiences
Aditya Roy Jul 2019
The nicest memories
You have are often subject to the
Worst experiences that require bringing about that transcendental belief
If you are stuck with your possessions, for example
So what, love is like it is
It is turbulent and the objects are closer than they appear
If your love seems far away, be silent when you have to prove it
38 · Aug 2020
Ignorance Is Bliss
Aditya Roy Aug 2020
We are coiled in ice and iridescent white
The world isn't here to stay and stride
Silence is just a whisper in my ear as we walk past what lies
Sullen earth rings a song from the depths of hell for the dying flies
Despair is near us as well disease
In naked water, we are burning like the troposphere and trees
When will we rip the ground and save our dry brown love
That lies underneath
As we tirelessly live in an inferno of thoughts and doubts
Enduring our own minds as well as our mouths
That need to speak or be fed with untruths
Silence is just a whisper in my ear as we walk past what dies
38 · Jul 2020
Killing my sorrow
Aditya Roy Jul 2020
You left my heart naked
What the hell do I do?
It was stupid, I stopped loving you

My ghosts stopped chasing
They kept haunting your memory
It was stupid, I stopped loving you

You left my heart broken
Where do I go?
It was lovely, now you love someone

It has never been harder
To look as easy as a summer breeze
I stopped loving those things too

You hurt my joy
Took my sleep
Left a boy with no pride

I have nothing to love about you
What do I do?
Trying something simple.

Breaking a leg
Aditya Roy Feb 2020
"You can't say love needs love.", they told each other
"No, but you can talk about the life and wings it gives to lovebirds." the plane soared over South America
"Have you been to Brazil?"
"Yes. And it was ”69."
"I am supposing you took the train."
"Well, they say you can find love anywhere near the seaside, now can't you?" he laughed and she found him reminding her of a quintessential  tequila sunrise
Though those two belong to different countries and the same Pacific
Sorry

Stitched In Genes
Aditya Roy Aug 2019
I'm not unmade
And unashamed at
The seams of my part, that have been sewn together
38 · Jul 2019
Mars And Its Abode.
Aditya Roy Jul 2019
There is a continuity
In this curated knowledge we have
Make the right conclusions
Live numbered days
Live long enough to make sense of the universe
The stars are what we strive for
Black holes or this definitive knowledge
Celestial order where there are both motions
And duality, where do we find the end of these processes
To the third stone from the Sun
Many of the phenomena that exist in this expanding astute universe
Will make your wildest imaginations seem tame
38 · Aug 2020
You are not alone
Aditya Roy Aug 2020
It's okay
If you are alone
If the chips are down
And everyone wants you for the wrong reasons
It's great to be used once in a while
Soon, you will have to make them remember
That those eyes see more than empty towns
They have seen places behind the blue skies
It's amazing that you are alone
Because no one will hurt you and dismember your love
You will stride and walk tall
It's okay
If you want to be okay, too
38 · Feb 2020
Simply Silly
Aditya Roy Feb 2020
You silence the crowd like a spoken poem
Well, you are as holy
That you could be a pilgrim's hat
You are as pretty as a pillow
Like a patient stretched under the light
You are as pure as rage
37 · Feb 2020
It's A Green Day
Aditya Roy Feb 2020
You make the rains come
Once a upon time you were water to me
Shapeless and essential
Now you just bring tears
My heartbreaker
37 · Aug 2020
Where Did The Night Go?
Aditya Roy Aug 2020
The coolness of winter
Eroded as December did
When we were just kids

As short time elapsed
Between life and death
Then the night just faded away
Like yesterday
37 · Aug 2020
The Sea
Aditya Roy Aug 2020
The sea came to wish me
And greet me
With a salty kiss
As well as a novice brush
Of the waves

Don't tell her
I've fallen in love with the ocean
Because the sea is too small for us
Two lovers.
I like this theme.
37 · Aug 2020
Thin Veil
Aditya Roy Aug 2020
Who lurks behind that thinly veiled sky
Beneath the clear blue dye of midnight
In its opportunity, I have seen some clarity
Its a dream, much like the next
Only, when you hold my hand, next to me
All the stars submerge, and we float
Like the diamond sky
Away we shall shine crazily
Unveiling our inner spark, along with our madness
37 · Apr 2020
I was in love
Aditya Roy Apr 2020
Your dreams were mine
It had fairies and paternal Gods
A touch of starlight was the magic
The rainbows made circles
I was in love with a dream
When we were over
I realized I never had a lover
You had just wasted my time
37 · Jun 2020
Gosselies
Aditya Roy Jun 2020
Cases of wine
Oak and limestone
She has got it bad
The limelight

On her face, potent
Ill enough, sad enough for a fad
The prudent student is a sight
Hanging from the Giants box

Here at the dude ranch
Where watchers sleep
Waist to waist
Waiting for the next train from subway to subway

This place is like gossip columns
Gosselies, my town on a medicated night
For ******* dog like me
From Mariah, the maiden far east calling at three

In the morning
In the morning!
The Tom Waits Challenge: I was supposed to write a poem using a Tom Waits song. So I chose a signature name of a town and added a few words from Steely Dan.

Dusk and Dawn
Aditya Roy Feb 2020
We could sculpt our minds
We could cut our helms with glasses
Like water that takes form in gardens of unseen beauty
Which keep them alive underground
However, we are cut from the same knife
We are cut into malleable toil
Shaped from dusk till dawn
Heard from dull lilacs in the soil
I am a flower
I am a flower
I am a flower...
37 · Mar 2020
Chocolate
Aditya Roy Mar 2020
I must be out of my mind
That you're were in love with me
When we had cigarettes and coffee
37 · Apr 2020
Automne
Aditya Roy Apr 2020
The leaves are so green
I hate to see them turn gold
Soon the trees will be bare

As we turn old
Till our happiness turns to cold
And the air grows dark

The older trees will look from afar
This is why I find poets beautiful
They bring out the best by far

In a lover who withers like leaves
But has the fragility of branches
A laugh sibilant as crackling violets

But in a heart that is ice
Only fiery gold remains
The atmosphere ethereal dissipates

And the autumnal paths have no shade
Withdraw from the canopies
As the dazzling Sun loses red colour at dawn
37 · Apr 2020
Your words
Aditya Roy Apr 2020
I haven't been in love
Being in love
Means forever
She wanted something else
I respected that
The pain stays forever
You said you were in love
Those were your words not mine
37 · Jul 2020
Not You
Aditya Roy Jul 2020
I ain't got nothing to do
On this pale afternoon
Just to sit and write you line
Maybe I'll open a cold soda
Think of memories and hold 'em
Hell, it's been a long time
I reckon you are doing well
I may not read about you
But that's alright
I suppose the way you faced me
In my bed
When I'm soulless and losing my head
I can't get next to you
I reckon you are doing well
Little homesick
But, that will pass
I reckon you are doing well
May is lonesome without you
In summer
With the whispers of love becoming unheard
Now my heart tries find you
Like the blues
Confused about what it really needs
The truth of the matter
All I need is to get to you
37 · May 2020
God of small things
Aditya Roy May 2020
Be kind
For those you meet
May never know kindness
Based on a Socrates quote.
Be kind, for everyone is fighting a hard battle.

Voluminous Salvo
Aditya Roy Nov 2018
Finally,
A chance
Though
Through
The instincts that made
Me
And Enemies
To Prove our resistance
A resistance
That was formed on peaceful riot
And looking at the bigger picture
Critics of social commentary said
Riots never seemed more ******
And blown out of proportion
"The ***** is afraid of the white man due to his fears. The white man is afraid of the ***** due to his guilt."-Martin Luther King Jr.
37 · Oct 2018
Rose Red
Aditya Roy Oct 2018
An edifice of your heart
Has a place
For the thorns of a dying rose
But face deserves
The roses
Straight from the cerise
Cerise meaning as red as the blood
That flows through the
Arteries accompanying
Our veins
"The future belongs to those who prepare for it today."-Percy Bysshe Shelley
37 · Mar 2020
Women In Love
Aditya Roy Mar 2020
They were sisters
Found solace in arms
Of blue eyed men
Who promised them a sky full of stars
Instead they got a roof on their heads
37 · May 2020
Journey
Aditya Roy May 2020
Why do the saddest
Laugh the loudest
Because they stopped giving a ****
When they were jeered at
That is no journey

The Spanish Recuerdos
Aditya Roy Jul 2019
As the term ends, our high school diploma got older
Some were getting wasted, or some couldn't handle the pressure
The pleasure came in some wasted alley where there was such moribund or hatred
As the term ends, our high school became more diplomatic in such erfolgt
They had finally realized that teaching them literature would cause a gilded outbreak
They hadn't contained the outrage of a few failing students hung by a very thin thread
Posers and imposters were making the most of this water
Putting any more biological crap would make education a palabra
Palabra- word
Alhambra- place
37 · Jul 2020
The Desert Flower
Aditya Roy Jul 2020
The bud of a delicate being
Awakening to a sun ray, daintily
Dries in the rainy splore while birds flee
Lisping in the cacophony of the wings

After every morning shower as the nest empties
The flower goes to sleep with the tall trees
Where the smoke of a stoked fire burns
Whilst choking the breeze and the birds

Brightly clasping onto the clutches of the  sky
Where the sun showers on its hue
And puts on a glorious smile in the afternoon
Hiding behind a penumbra, waiting to blossom

Fleeing as ghosts do from an enchanter
The bud cascades freely in the desert air
Where the stares of nearby petals wander
As the fragrance of a blossomed flower laces the air
Trying to work better on my vivid imagery and rhyme.
37 · Mar 2020
Cookies and Cream
Aditya Roy Mar 2020
I love kissing your lips
And catching you in thin air
The romance hasn't died
It is just an imaginary feeling
I hear mermaids sing
And butterflies fly
Leaving my stomach out of breath
I said kisses were rare
The smiles were cloaked in affection
The lack of time was the death of me
Time stops for no one
I know time feels the same for you
What about the butterflies that filled our stomachs
You have no lascivious feelings for me
Instead, cookies and cream
37 · Jun 2020
Will
Aditya Roy Jun 2020
If your heart is strong
Your mind will be fearless
If your mind is stronger
Your heart will never bear the consequence
One's heart will always have insecurities
Because that's where God put the flaws and virtues together

Bebop Blues
Aditya Roy Feb 2020
If you are twisting
And arrested by nightmares
You have to trust reality
It's all just a dream, anyway
37 · May 2020
The midnight walker
Aditya Roy May 2020
You keep your glass
Near the bedside
It has milk
You get up for cookies
An empty tummy..

You see the fridge empty
Only eggs smile at you
The spelled out magnets are distracting
Making it easy to get cosy and easier
I can see you in the pale moon
You are hungry...

You fry an omelette
Nursing your stomach
The eggs have found their place
On the tray
No speck of doubt
Reminds you of your dead hour
Or the day when the rain fell
You look outside the rain pelts
The window calls to you to fly away
To bed
37 · Mar 2020
Compassion
Aditya Roy Mar 2020
If you are a fool
To love someone
You can spread the wisdom around
37 · Jun 2020
Justice?
Aditya Roy Jun 2020
He never learned to accept
A cold man who lost his love
Wounded by silence, helpless by the truth
Carpe Diem
37 · May 2020
Bounded
Aditya Roy May 2020
Everyone likes to set up walls
Hoping to keep out the noise and drawl
When the dust settles and bricks crumble
They are the ones left behind in a stumble

Protecting what they own
Never knowing what it is like to share a lawn
Watching time pass by
They are always left behind like flowers that die
I had some thoughts lying around in my head. I think unless I break my own boundaries I cannot show anything of worth or maturity.

No Make Up
Aditya Roy Mar 2020
I am sick of beauty
I need you to bare
Your soul and be ugly
Without being beleaguered
So do your duty
Start looking *****
As the guys want your phone
To call their mother
Because you have the heart
Go and get the right guy
Who treats you like he treats
His mom, must be proud of you
So unfortunate, but perfect
37 · Apr 2020
Fire Of Life
Aditya Roy Apr 2020
You are sitting like a child
Why are you still crying?
Is that your heart breaking
Like a bird at dawn, singing surely
I saw a fire within, once

Moving from the warmest noon
People remember you
With warm flowers and their cold dew
Behind a locked door
I saw a fire within, once

As you cry every morning
Are you occupied with me
Or simply unsure, truly
The blue skies will always be blue
I saw a fire within, once though

The sun will come out from the east
As sure as I am on my knees, earnest and true
As sure as my love is you
Now, I still look at the same eyes closed
I see you have found that fire in the skies
Just to clarify, it is about life going away in a fleeting second like the light of your eyes.
37 · Jul 2020
Winding on a Sun
Aditya Roy Jul 2020
I remember how you still felt warm
As if you had just caught a cold
Summer had become a bit torn
Without you beside me to live and love

The blankets cover the wounds and lies
When I look at your morning eyes
It all flies and the pain wears a disguise
There is a cloud winding on the sunlit skies
A short poem, guys. There is a lot to say, but, little words express some emotion.
37 · Oct 2018
Pulp Fiction
Aditya Roy Oct 2018
Beauty is beyond me
It's in trees
And the streams
That flow by
Nearly all time
telling things
I have in my life
Nature flows like water
In a cup
For the trees to breathe
And ripen their fruits
Boughs breaking
Fruits falling with their leaves
As the bat leaves
For a better place to see
"I love man not the less. Nature more"-Byron

Spirited Away
Aditya Roy Aug 2020
My bicycle flew down
As the birds paced away
From a lake so placid, it seemed
The birds hadn't flown in the reflection
Only my spirit did, down that summer hill

Seaside
Aditya Roy Mar 2020
You once told me
What happens,
Happens
Now I let waves
Crash and fall

Destiny resides
With the oyster
And pods of circles
Broken clay
That lay sprayed by salt-licked sea beds, untouched

Coral floors
Where you rest
Easy and placid
Lovely and silent
Like warm water

Is like a washed up sail
Caught in the whirlwind
Of fate
I had to brave storms
To stay afloat
Where I found your

Memory once more
And death in a much more
Mysterious way
In the heart of sudden tumult and solace
37 · Mar 2020
Death Do Us Apart
Aditya Roy Mar 2020
I was sure
You'd be fine
If I caressed you
And held you in arms
So right
You left my heart bare
Omens are dark and close
Covering our love in despair
I was sure
You'd be fine
If we hadn't wasted time
Precious time
