I love the way you tame the lions
Train them and send them fit
For a circus performance
You seem to know all the strings
Of love and example
You teach your kids tricks of the trade
A cry for help comes from the cage
No one calls foul
No one is lovelier than thou
Aditya Roy Jul 2020
The love lost
Can be gained
Through friendship
Aditya Roy Feb 2019
What's it gonna take
To keep you alive
How much can I take
Out of this goodbye

What's it gonna take
To make fall asleep
Rest assure that
The heat's in my ear
Keeping nibbling
Baby
Pinch on your cheek
What a flirt
Aditya Roy Feb 2021
Let's take a little time
Before we assume what we know
And decide that what we believe
Is right

We need to read between lines
In case we need be together
In the future
When we get older

We must scale these mountains
And hold the hands of the sun
But, we can't climb
Without trusting ourselves
Aditya Roy May 2019
I would trade the world to see you smile at me. And make me laugh, and we could share the world.
Aditya Roy May 2019
The notes you write, go to fire because I can't bear to have this distance.
Aditya Roy Aug 2019
I hope you have a good time
Good times, never lose you to time and tide
A man standing, or woman waiting
Can we find a balance, between two of these lovechildren
Waiting on the opposites sides of the floor, nobody moves
There's a water that crashes or takes the shape of teacups
Aditya Roy Oct 2018
Bumping into a girl named Destiny
After stumbling on pebbles across the ocean
Left me with false notions
Of love and its nuances
I reckoned the water will always be satiny
And love is a painting
For the souls  waning
And the Sun shall always set for us
In the West
Laying slumber to the endearing scenery
Laying memories to a peaceful rest
Funnily, the tides always had an affinity
For washing away writings on the sand
Realizing now,
God didn't bring the two of us together
On this colorful land
With utmost sincerity
Towards a God named Romance

Even though Destiny
You changed places
And left me at the mercy of my fate
I know the horizon is unanchorable
Similarly, I know I shall go looking for you again
In these treacherous waters
Even during hard-hitting rain
With inchoate courage
Even when I'm somnambulant
Dying within the Earth's recesses
Within time's everlasting edifice
I shall foolishly go looking for you again
Just to erase your pain

And in my hour of demise
I won't expect you at my burial
I easily surmise

Because I hoped to grasp what was destined
For us
In the firmament
Of this exemplary universe
And as the Sun rises
During day-break
Nevertheless, the same way
And my soul will rise
Ending its indignation
Brought by You
Not being bothered by the evanescing memory of
You
"A man's character is his fate"-Heraclitus
Aditya Roy Dec 2020
You make time stop for me
Because I don't need to
Run from the past,

You are the present time and my future that has gone past
I can spend the day watching the clouds
And counting the birds like dust in an hourglass

Soon, when we are old as starry nights
We may meet soon as birds do
At the thin line of the horizon of the peach skies
A short poem for lovers on the next day of Christmas.
Aditya Roy Oct 2018
A boy blurts out something
It really isn't demeaning
But it is worth contemplating
An awkward pause
Thoughts linger
Uncertain of cause
Until cold silence leaves
Bringing warmth in the beginning
And talk of love ensues
Whilst loving, I’m still charming you
Understanding someone, is knowing everyone.
Aditya Roy Aug 2023
The flowers shift and sway
As the sun blazes
Letting the warm breeze color this scene
With your face close to mine

Every day seems longer than the last
A violent storm carries with it the past
There's pain in my heart
That gets lost in the locks of your hair
Aditya Roy Nov 2018
Sycamore Trees
Savior Birds
Flutter
Over
Me
I lay on the grass
With her plucked leaf
With the Autumn breeze
In my hair
"Here comes another."
Aditya Roy Aug 2020
In a distant girl with a distant look
There were words that she took
For granted, and untold were some things
Stories are made of these
Suspense is made of this
Tell us a story, little girl
We want a lovely evening ruined by your charm
We don't want you hurt your heart
Laughing at our usurious ways
Adopt or reject us
You cannot live without us
And if you love it
You cannot with it
Such are the rebellious wings of birds
In flight
Aditya Roy Oct 2018
My life
In my words
Best spoken
In someone
Else's voice
It's love's curse
Aditya Roy Mar 2020
He loves you
You love him
You should go to him
Because opportunity doesn't come knocking
Like a door-to-door salesman
Aditya Roy Jun 2020
When the sun brings the light after dawn
Your hair billows in the yellow sunshine and pale clouds
The stars light up a yawning night hid by the moon
If your smile were not lovely, I would be led aswoon
You are the only light I see in my dreams
That arises like dulcet tones of a lark to day
And sets like the blue tide on the bay
Some love poetry.
Aditya Roy Nov 2020
I'll search the towns
The sun is ours
Let us live
Like these are our last hours

Everyday I relive this time
I will never feel alive
I will never give up this fight
Like these are our last hours

As we are lost in them
Your tears come falling instead
The pain just ebbs
What was love has now left
Aditya Roy Mar 2020
It is the bleak month of March
Colder than most
Yellow smoke comes out of the lower city
Turns the corner as I look around for apple trees in bloom
O'er by the streets the curtains hide stains
Most of us are cannot bear to stare
As we find love and loss together
No matter the cost as is always hard to bear
Love is the only innocence I fear
How much I need to be loved!
I've turned to money, ****** and mere crisis
Should I push the moment to senility
What more tools do I possess
As we bunch our posessions and indecisions
Soon we will have no choice but merely the tragedy of guilt
Many can say goodbye with poignancy
If the loss of hope is a short dance
Let the flowers bloom before they wilt demurred
Then of to dance with death is to find their rightful place
****** rosebuds gather while ye' may
In the forests of nature's blossom
Many people cannot let their fate weave
As their end nears and hope will not relieve the troubled soul
The fine things of life shall clear the clouds of doubts
Life is celebrated as their mind plunders their false notions
Window panes are shuttered and prisoners motion from inside
My mind is cluttered as it reminds itself
Don't get too clever or proud
They claim fortune favors the first
Because when the love's dead
You can hear time's winged chariot hurry near
So does the insipid illness of worry
As we wait for hope and ask love to hurry
You'll see that anger if you look close
In my eyes of insidious intent
Where civilization retreats in a lurid murmur
As the music of my mind plays and dances
I ask myself if I dare to be free
If I profess my love and take chances
Then my doubts follow
And my observations and destiny wait
At the crossroads to take a different step
My misshapen head is full of thin hair
The Ballad of The Thin Man plays
As I tap on my thighs amidst banter
They say bring his head on a platter
It's no great matter to take the poison of indignation
As the bitter matters settles with a smile and a tip of the hat
If I resign myself to the muses of my mother
And the dogma of my brother and sister makes me small
'Twixt my first novel is thrown from the shelves of the town hall
Now my hat is worn out and so is my smile
Aditya Roy Apr 2020
The pallid expression on her absent face
Her fair skin has lost it's marble touch
She is prudent and prurient as her gaze
There is a youthful grace that I cannot judge
Must I comprehend, this alabaster?
Should I presume, the sculptor made an erroneous smudge?
In a park of tracks and pulverized people
Their faces clutch at her words
As they are left only with the epithets and hardly any details
My landlord pleads for rent as I reach upstairs
He wonders and wants to know more
Should I reply with mumbles?
It is a festering wound at my heart's core
That coagulates at my throat as I fumble
For there is no answer
There is no question
It is just to do or die without her
All of it can coalesce
If I give in to my fiery adolescence
Based on poems by Eliot.
Aditya Roy Feb 2020
Stealing my heart in a conversation
His fingertips played Chopin and painted passion
Because I knew how to live!

Transcending music with an arrow
He left me with quivering lips
Saying, this too shall pass

He stole what was mine
No despair anymore
Now I tell you, my bemusement

Should I continue the story
A broken soul- here's the great matter
I have no visitors in old age, a venerable maiden
Aditya Roy Aug 2020
Love has a time and place
Better to dream on the streets
Than to think upon the stars
Aditya Roy Jun 2020
I will stalk the high road, alone
Not take the youthful bend of woods
Through the looped ends of hills, stalking fortune
I shall watch the empty, mournful horizon
Life is but an empty nightmare
If you walk among oceans, day arising
If you can hear the slow, powerful verse
You will see that life's waters made slow, silent
With these small slumbers, the heart that listens
If I am striding, through love's blissful glisten
No great matter, more than possessed suns
Breathless across eloquent skies, golden
Like a bird unchanged, by the deep serene
Finding my love's hue, in lost marines of blue
This should be easy if you like iambic pentameter stuff.
"Be kind, for whoever you meet is fighting a hard battle."- Plato
Aditya Roy Oct 2018
Stuck in reverse
I hope to learn
Yearn for a place in this universe
Avidly evidently
Embraced
Oddly placed
Places of sunshine
The arboreal lights of night
Have something
In common
In the emotion they bring back
The place is the Universe
Quaintly made up a little isolated shack
"The ability to quote is serviceable substitute to wit"-Somerset Maugham
Aditya Roy Aug 2019
Sending the love forward
Paying it back, in the
The way the socialism asked for a corporal
She loved him with a love untoward, that came from America
You can either hurt yourself or burn yourself, find fault with it
But, you will always learn from it, in the bebop that doesn't stop the motion of food and clothes in songs about buildings
Boy's with sobbing looks held by kiosks sending the semaphoring forward, with hope in we weren't going pop our madness during our cherry red wine sedation, holding up ******* and
A flag
Aditya Roy Oct 2018
Head on babe
Slowing my wait
Over to my place
How's the journey
I'm in a coffee house
Looking at the scenery
Of couples
Looking at each other eyes
Feels nice

You keep me company
When I'm asleep
In the morning
You give me reason
To laugh
When I'm yawning
You finish my sentences
When my thoughts become
Noisy

When life turns to dust
You're the rain that brings it up
"We can easily forgive a child who is afraid of the dark; the real tragedy of life is when men are afraid of the light"-Plato
Aditya Roy Nov 2018
The cold air
Blows through my
My love for the
Throne
Subject to exile
By the dishonest heir
Just tarry a while
And I'll find another
Minority in
Pejorative terms
Of Separating
Love
With Isolation
Aditya Roy Nov 2020
Some girls tie their hair
Others let it float over their shoulder
I love them all just the same
But, when you open yours
I fall in love again
The hours and hours spin, spin around

Give me your everything
When you love me
I know that smile is brighter than the sun
But, we're so far
That I haven't seen the light in a long time
You're all I've got in the endless dark
Aditya Roy Oct 2020
I love my wife
That's what I keep
Telling my girlfriend
Loved Carlo Gomez's humorous poems, so here's my joke.
Aditya Roy Apr 2019
Class of people
Freed by the chains of enemies
Burdened by the trust of friendship
There is no trusting a category of classless people
Real advice, listen to yourself
Because you are responsible for yourself
Not accountable to others
You have your life
She said
You have hobbies
She said
You don't have me
She said
You can't love someone else
She loved saying
But she never learned to say
Three words correctly
Aditya Roy Aug 2019
Fish aren't meant too climb
Monkeys aren't meant to swim
You read the first line right
Aditya Roy Nov 2018
The government may want
More from us
Than
A predicament
From this stubborn
Adolescent

Love's a riot
When each lover
Is male
When it comes to
Females
It is fists
Raised to rainbows
Aditya Roy Oct 2018
The changing of your calculations
Wheeling with my emotions
"Beware the barrenness of a busy life."-Socrates
Aditya Roy Oct 2022
The flowers are tired tonight
Breathless as the air around
A mix of moon dust and star light
A lunar eclipse comes out

The stars evade the clouds
With a sky so silent, I hear moonbeams
The wind beckons to the distant hounds
"It is his last night, run free."

Let's accept this moment
Where is the harmony
In those free from inner torment?
It is rare to be without fragility

As I shed my frayed clothes
My nature is laid naked for thy senses
I accept the highs and lows
Knowing the depths of my resilience
A poem on my mother.
Aditya Roy Oct 2024
There's a certain power
In being happy
And content
When others around you
Just don't care
About whether you live or die

Because it shows you give a ****
About yourself
Aditya Roy Aug 2019
I have twitched
And bewitched
Myself into a half-man and wolf of hamstrings made of heartstrings
Tearing out of the Vitruvian circle, livin' up in the absolute progressive ellipse
Brimming without you and within you, and escape the slips
Of whips and the crimson red of the lysergic chemicals
Aditya Roy Oct 2018
Looking at the rain
I saw the clouds a little foggier
Must have been my glasses
Aditya Roy Nov 2018
Seems like yesterday
Kept my life alive
For today's journal
Entry into tomorrow
I left days to waste after each other
I guess lazing is better than imagination
Dates bring back the memories
But days remind me of familial upbringing
Breaking plates  in your home
Is like breaking your heart in your soulless
Emotion
hope your feeling well
Aditya Roy Aug 2019
Hello poetry
Make the cut
In a world lost in time
Aditya Roy Oct 2018
Anger's driving me mad
And girl's driving me mad
I guess my girl is fire
Anger is my ire
"If you have a garden and a library, you have everything you need"-Cicero
Aditya Roy Jul 2019
The light will still be with you
When you read into the rustling reeds
The darkness of the ocean will drown out the reflection
There are plenty of fish in the sea
Aditya Roy Feb 2019
The magic of thousand fires
Burns bright
In the dark
A sight for sore eyes
The only things
Matters is the sear
Aditya Roy Aug 2019
Sleepless as I am
The nights keep me awake
Like magnets
Disperse, diversity and patient.
The paramagnetic properties.
Make it possible to assimilate these materials in electric relief.
Called love.
Aditya Roy Aug 2019
Whenever I read
On the road
This plays peacefully in the background
Aditya Roy Mar 2020
My typewriter says hello
My cup is full of water and whiskey
My life is in ruins
Thoughts for your plentiful emotions
My emotions have run dry
Like the surface of the moon
My life is in ruins again
Like the hole shaped shadows on Mars too
You're a star in desolate universe
I am in a galaxy too far away
Bit by bit I can feel your heart
I let go of my fears as I see courage in your smile
Your disarming eyes put me to rest
A typewriter by my side
Full of soaked literature
My thoughts have now gone wry and rueful
And turned into a journey
Aditya Roy May 2021
Make your life an eloquent love letter that touches hearts
Your flesh a surreal metaphor that knows a loving touch
Your blood the persistent rhyme that cradles a generation
What flows through verse after verse are your lines

Make the verse as powerful as you can in your mind
Touch it with sensation and imagination
It is your poem after all, your celebration
Pour rain on the final line with a hint of persimmon

You shall live on in the hearts of men and women
With a kind of climactic end, that makes lovers sigh
It is your lines that makes the poem a powerful autumn
And your creative struggle relevant to the current generation

Make your flesh a love poem.
Aditya Roy Apr 2020
You make friends
When you believe in similar ideals
But, enemies are made
When you hold them up
That's why those who something to say
Make more foes than disciples
Aditya Roy Nov 2020
Poised is the night
Relaxed is the sultry tide
Sun is like a speck in the sky
Moon is like a pebble on the shore
One covered by horizon
And the other blanketed by the ocean
The skyline extends and she kisses my cheek
Trees rustle in the wind
And obstinate leaves fall hastily
Her kisses mean so much
Her body lies on the water and sand
Life's always a constant rush
But, the strands of her hair envelope my face
I get lost in her scent
It smells salty and like freedom
I have to free myself from such dreams
That make me laze in the sun as I look at her auburn skin
The sea breeze touches my lips
Aditya Roy Feb 2020
Come and be all I need
We can start afresh with no reason to be asleep
Fish in the seas are romantic too
If your eyes are blue, they'd have green like a river in which they move
My love, can I carve you
If I were a carpenter, I would take two years on thy foot
I would mortgage my soul to be carving next to you

Reddest lips often cherry wood, deserve more than this
As love is, I know it best like my first kiss
T'was when I scuttled for enamoring bliss
Eternity to search for you to treasure the last kiss
Your statue would cast a spell on me
I would be proudest to fill the grave, however
While you humbly grace the cathedral with looks unloved
As pleasant as love is
Releasing hate from existence is as necessary
Love its genial adversary
Our daughters will tear from the bark and spread resin
Aditya Roy Nov 2018
A machinist
Breaking his parts
Bringing his art
In lintel print
Aditya Roy Oct 2018
How did you find your place
Home in this city
With so many streets
To roam
The heart wants it wants. There is no logic.
