Getting a hint of blue
I look at the bluest colors
Of the waters
To find my reflection
Even though it's transparent
"I know love is, it it is because of you"- Herman Hesse
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
"Not only does God play dice, but... he sometimes throws them where they cannot be seen."-Stephen Hawking
Aditya Roy Nov 2018
Memories fade away
When Imagination flies
Crowds raising questions
When you're living
And waiting for a sign
See streets live up to their standards
Like beggars look up to you
For change
My manners, abominable at times became sweet.. as i grew older i became drunk. Why? Because I love the ecstasy of the mind. I love, love
Aditya Roy Jul 2021
This is all I need
To keep you here
My world is empty
Without your embrace

Where goes the sun
It wishes for someone

On a golden ring

It's okay as long as it is love
But, it hurts and it's no surprise
This is too much to deny
But, that's alright

How much can I hide
There is so much to say
What is going on inside
Is a lover game

On a golden ring
A song based on some chords I just wrote.
Aditya Roy Oct 2018
Lurching
In the sunshine
The heat gets to you
In the gold mine
Gold
Breaking backs
Lacking heat
Of fire and love
A coal miner
Home at family
Where it's black as the night
Soot by the fire
The chimney
Is the legacy of your life
And tire
Black as death
Gold as the breath
"What goes on"-Rubber Soul
Aditya Roy Dec 2018
Are you a rebel of the mind
Fiddling with ideas
Unsatisfied with what you find
"All things are difficult before easy."-Chinese Proverb
Aditya Roy Oct 2018
I found beauty
In a dash of spring
In it's still lingering
"Drama is life with the dull bits cut"-Alfred Hitchcock
Aditya Roy Feb 2023
I always thought the sky could be blue
In those paintings, the clouds were out of tune
They were grey like my heart
They were white at times

The blue sky never knew
When the rain would pour
Or if the sun was to come out
If the people were there
Aditya Roy May 2023
If the moon calls out your name
It lets out a whisper
Because my heart speaks to it softly
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.
Aditya Roy Feb 2020
It is surprising
How motivation can be found
In the loneliest people
And gracefully welcome them
Since they are the ones who talk
For hours about their loneliness
So motivated to be part of the whole
But botherations come
After all allegations come I'm an owl awake at night, and I can't sleep
Therefore I'm a bird at day
When I escape a hole
And finally see the light
I'll find your inner voice
With it comes ability and avoidance
You have to learn to love yourself
I'll be a part of the whole world if you let me sleep peacefully
But, I have many miles to keep
And seeds to reap
Aditya Roy Nov 2018
The beautiful dream
Broke my ideas
Of leaving grace
Graceless
As the god
I followed
He had the same name
I was just a boy
He was my idea
Of adolescent fame
We lay by the grass
Grass
Was the peace for me
Waters
Was the reflection for me
The trees brought me
A peaceful reflection
Lying with the gayest
Kisses under the sycamore trees
"Love takes off masks we fear we cannot live without and we cannot live within" James. A. Baldwin
Aditya Roy Dec 2017
When I look at the stars with you lying next to you
On the grass the aliens feel so far away
But when you and I turn around at the same time
And look into each other's eyes
We realize that aliens at least exist

They are on this planet itself
A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away
Aditya Roy Mar 2020
The night is bright
As the day exists before
The dawn breaks our hearts
At least the night doesn't remind me
Of you anymore
Aditya Roy Jul 2019
The girl who got away
Blocked her account
And left me with her memories
The girl who got away
Won't look at me now
But, will notice me in a crowdy street
The girl who got away
Probably, likes watching movies with someone else
But, watches the same movies we watched all over again
The girl who got away
Probably, got a lot better in terms of physicality
But, her heart is a bunch of bandages wrapped with each other
The girl who got away
Loves reading books
But, cannot bear to stop imagining life without reality
I just keep finding her in that library called love
The girl that got away
Met me for the last time
Leaving an everlasting memory which said, "I've moved on."
I finally understood what it meant after I loved someone else
And finally, when I gave back the books, I took from her on rent
She appeared to have become a cautionary tale
Quite quaint isn't it?
Unless I have moved on with dignity
And gratitude on display
Here's my book in a time capsuled by nature
Titled "Gratitude"
For a lover's fortitude
Each fortnight, this love story brings me strength for eternity
For swingin' lovers looking for respect
Aditya Roy Oct 2018
Time after time
I could find myself
Looking at the years differently
Aditya Roy Oct 2020
I know the dew drops live on wild flowers
With moving wind and calming breeze to temper
Knowing how beauty extinguished with noon
Come the cold end of summer, ardent and true

Yet, like a sorrowed raindrop that descends
Without swoop and decline, a bird can't ascend
Song after tune followed by chirp, music resumes
Until welkin and hell merge, as dust consumes

For I know that pure love lasts an eternity
Whenever the roses lose color quickly
Giving an innocent bud, beauty
Though, I know spring awaits the many

Placing that remnant of our affection gently
It is with great sadness, petals fall patiently
Beneath a conscious will to live is nothing but escape
Today I learned to be grateful for all the things I have in my life. I learn this lesson of gratitude because one must exalt themselves in artistic and spiritual expression. I have left past behind meaningfully looking to the future.
Aditya Roy Jul 2019
You know I'll love
With an impassioned love
And a childlike innocence
Now, rest my child while my passions follow adult me
Aditya Roy Nov 2018
Wild and free
Wondering through
The pressed fields
Of trees
That should have been there
To hold guerrilla hats
Yesterday
Left with the search
For innocence
Intermittently
Overcome
With mature loving
And empathy
Too
I know you are here to **** me. Shoot, coward, you are only going to **** a man.
Aditya Roy Mar 2020
If I wanted to fight
I'd bring a gun
A memorable experience
In between us is too much
Like a loaded weapon
That's cocked like a kiss
A safety that's gonna blast
If I'm too close
You pry my heart
You forget your danger
If I'm too close
You forget that we are pretenders
Strangers in the night
So, for once let me seek resolution
To call you and bring on the night
Nuggets at 8
And Pepsi, maybe
Aditya Roy Apr 2020
You look into yourself
It makes me so wild
That I can talk to you finally
You are so guilty
If I ask you stay
You wilt and die at my request
I exist to you
Miss
Aditya Roy Mar 2020
You can't lock your brain
So, I know I'm always on your mind
At least let me in your heart
Aditya Roy Apr 2020
The blackbird sings
As the winter brings
The white snow and you
Aditya Roy Aug 2019
You planted
Wildflowers
In fields of sorrow
Aditya Roy Feb 2020
If you only would fill
My shoes
I would tap dance under the starlight
Aditya Roy Jul 2019
Every artist is an intellectual
Until
They get nervous

The rivers look
Alive
Rainy day

The birds
Are singing

There is a
Bead
On a dewy bud
Aditya Roy Jun 2020
A fly
In my closet
Cannot bee
Love haikus ;)
Aditya Roy Jun 2020
The streets
Are full
I am lonely
Aditya Roy Jul 2019
The sacrifices
You make, mother never grow old
But, my excuses do
Aditya Roy May 2021
Sunflowers lead us
Toward the direction
Of light, please don't pluck
Aditya Roy Mar 2020
Ever since my wife died
My well
Hath run dry
Aditya Roy Jan 2019
Haikus can be humor
If they
End well....

"All things are difficult yet easy"
Ending this was difficult
Yet Easy
#hey
Aditya Roy Dec 2020
I guess you love me for sentiment
That's why I think I can live forever
But, let's begin from the start

The heaven for us, we'll share and nurture
For I know that's it is love and much more
Maybe, its why I adore with all my heart

Your innocence and beauty
So different from one another
We share something that grows
Three line shorts.
Aditya Roy Aug 2019
A wise man
Questions his own ideals
A fool worships them
Showing off is the fool's idea of glory.
Aditya Roy Nov 2020
Just because I say Hello
Means I'm comfortable saying
Goodbye
Too many haikus to count.
Aditya Roy Nov 2018
The hills of music
The loudness
Of Brilliant
Beauty
Her yodeling
reminds
Me of
A
Singing
Scenery
The yodeling
Christens
Heights
The peace
Behind
the mountains
Brings
The solace
Of Many
years
That may bring
Constellations
With wintry stars
Snowing
Soulfully
Aditya Roy Jul 2022
In the eye of the storm, the waves ****** me aside
I simply trust nature and lose track of time
Holding my hands, praying for a fire in the distance
Or does my fire come from within?

Yet, a sudden chill comes up my spine
A hollow voice from my cowering throat signifies
The promises of a towering Captain Abe
Is it my place to lead the way?

Soon the sea will ring the knell on us all
I hold my breath and savor the deep blue
Will it hail whilst I sleep with the crew?
Tis' not a night of doubt, but to survive till dawn
It is a rough couple of weeks. But remember you are a survivor. Also, never forget where you started from.
Aditya Roy Aug 2019
I might go out, clumsy as a palace on wheels
Appreciative of the placing animated expressive
Nature of your breathless, that just makes me die with a smile
Happy with his belonging, peace is his song
Dancing with the longing, the longer you wait for you dance
Dance away, without my words to guide you through cloud alphabets
Spanish palhabra, luminous limerick
Chinchin, chinchilla, minutes in Piccadilly
Square for a hamster on the turning of the changing wheels
Changing squares, and townships travel in a couple of quarrelsome
Steps of a poet, little honest about the footprints mistook for shirking persevering people
Aditya Roy May 2020
I love your face
Your kisses
Matching the traces of red
I look forever
For a girl in a small world

They say my love is too big
For this small world
Listening to some romantic songs.
Aditya Roy Aug 2024
When I first met you on an afternoon
You were sitting in a little cafe
Smiling gently
With your eyes calling to me

You wanted me close
Holding your hands too
Gently kissing your nape
Placing your jet black hair to one side

You'd bring the cup of latte
To your ruby red lips
Thinking of my mouth shift across your shoulder
And quiver and shift in your seat

I can see it in your trembling hands
You wanted to spend a little time
Unzipping me with your mind
Clutching my hips, bringing it closer to your skirt

Letting me pull apart your *******
And stroking your thighs
I pressed my lips harder as you took off my t-shirt
Grabbing your legs for this wild ride

Placing your arms on my shoulders
Sinking my teeth in, letting it all slide in
You can hear my breath grow louder
Inside you, moving with a steady rhythm

It only lasts minutes, it feels like an eternity of pleasure
As you breathe, heave, and sigh
The cup almost falls out of your hand
Thinking about me this way

Bra undone, makeup's a mess, and it never felt so good
With my scent on your skin
Your lips redder than a rose
Cheeks blushing pink like a cloud in autumn
Aditya Roy Aug 2019
Leipoa hänen kielletty
Mies persasiosoden keratimissen
Hanen cuppi kakku ei laitsu laklu kiinnostunut asut
katilo poisse, ei pois
Finnish: kakku kiinnostunut lauttena yhdessa
Aditya Roy Apr 2020
Her hair sits
On her face
A bodice of ice
An eye of glass
Behind lurks a fire waiting
To be put out
Aditya Roy Aug 2019
Much like love
Makes me happy
So does friendship
Simple pleasures
Aditya Roy Jun 25
My happiness is in my hands
But I've realised
It slips through my fingers
Like sand
Aditya Roy Nov 2020
Trick or treat
Half of Africa
Doesn't have food to eat
Aditya Roy Jan 2021
No more vibrant bazaars with vegetables lined across carts
No more shouts of vendors piqued with anticipation for the day's sell
No more selling of fruits and poultry to the hordes of families lining near a mandi
I must be on the wrong street, my memory fails me.
No more spices being sold for a day of solace from the midnight cries of a mewling child?
No more rabble of vendors that belong on fields, away from home and from their wives?
Is this even Delhi?
Oh! Look a tricolor map on a desolate stretch of empty push-carts
Why does that torn flag that unites us all hang low in humility?
Where are all the people of the city?
Is that my India putting on a broken disguise?
The only thing holding me together is my dignity
This poem is my take on the Delhi protests.
Aditya Roy Jun 2020
Some learn from life
Others learn from their own mistakes
Tried my hand at quotations.
