Aditya Roy Mar 2020
My mind wanders, often
I may lay under a tree
If the leaves are crowding the sunlight
I choose to look through the canopy

Sic itur ad astra
Thus one goes to the stars
My mind wanders, often
Like a breeze hoisting dead saplings

With a rush and push life is in focus
My life is always in the background
If things are out of place, noisy often
Time flies instead of passing me by

The orient trains come and go
O'er Cassandra crossing, nervously
Aditya Roy Aug 2020
In a boring day
Amidst the concubines
All in the palace shells
Roomed in the book
Cloistered from the rest
The king keeps slaves to himself
Just for that one fine day
When boredom sets in
Like the summer breaks into summer leaves
Untouched by water and spring
In a boring day
We cast aside our differences
Ignorant of each other's wealth
Tempered by our grace
Embracing our space
Accepting our distance
Cast out into the wilderness
Aditya Roy Aug 2020
You left me as a work in progress
A poem unwritten
A song unsung
When I am complete
I won't need your help
If I do, I will be completely undone
Cast aside by the thought of you
Aditya Roy Mar 2020
I was looking for
Some magic
But it's in everything you do
I need my conduct and humor
To remain a shadow in which you stand true
I seek such dreams to be near you
I need a glass of *****
To match the wine you're guzzling
Waiter, the bill and check, please
I need that woman
I'm gonna take a leap of faith
If I'm to get some salvation
From the castle of mirrors
Which turn into a quintillion feathers
A fortress of illusions
Where, the clown play in circles
And the funambulists stand on the ropes of chance
Where the conductor lights up when the men fall
I take my chances with the maniacal cackling
That tells me the way out
I need your love
To match my laughing chances
I'd die for your smile
At the end of it
I need your clairvoyance
To match my burning aces
Often, I dream it would be cast iron castles
That see us through the cul de sac
But, I'll chances on my bad luck
I'm sure if I take you up on that offer
To see the joker
Accusing me of duplicity
I guess I don't belong here
Yet, you will be stuck with me
Among the best minds of this city
Laughing in agonizing pain
Only aware that we are reflections
And inflections of our mental processes
Proceed with caution
Before you enter the second segment of the castle
You can't match me
Unless you have fascination and awe
You can't match my will
Unless you take a little look into yourself
You will see our future
A common journey
Make me a holy man
I'd love your smirk
At the beginning of it
Aditya Roy Jul 2020
Catch a fading star
Hold me now in Mars
If the universe goes a bit far
Don't worry, let the world stare through

Catch a burning supernova
Hold me now in Neptune
If the universe seems blue
Don't worry, the world won't fade away too

Catch an interminable wormhole
Hover over the rings of Saturn
If the universe feels like a cradle
Don't worry, the civilization can depend on you

Just let the stars shine on you, you fool
On the moon
Carpe diem
Aditya Roy Oct 2018
Milk bottles, cats, doorsteps,mailman,milkman
Milk under the doorstep
Nine lives in the  making
Drinking someone's else's milk
Mailman sends out another's letter of absence
Who really brings milk
Aditya Roy Aug 2019
A cat's ahead, a little complaisant
A cat followed the zephyr, playfully
Flat's rather zaftig and plump, and soothe the platitudes
Bibulous rachets and rackets of gesticulating recalcitrants
Congruent cat whisker's rather pother-like, can't get bolder
"Sleeping, oeuvre woes my way?"
"Sitting, oeuvre, was my way."
Aditya Roy Oct 2018
A wine glass
Is intoxicatingly blood red
Seriously
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
Aditya Roy Apr 2020
It took me
A lifetime to find you
A moment to fall in love
Aditya Roy Apr 2019
Chained to you
I can't see the light of day
But, I can spend the nights with you
Aditya Roy Oct 2018
Laying by the lake
The leaves turn brown
As the sun wakes
You sleep with the gold
Cutting the trees of lumberjack town
Aditya Roy Apr 2020
The soul felt it was light as bees
As it was relieved and alive
Looking into a relief of hellish rocks and whorling heights
Periodic clouds cleared the doubts as I abseiled blind
Part 2
Aditya Roy Nov 2021
The melancholic grin of the old
As the cold hurts the inner soul
Crumbles the bones of the bowed legs
Aspirin, ******, and saccharin

Puncture wounds of a snake that bit you
My friend, have you lost
Your battle with the truth
Can't you face the reality of addiction

Cheers, cheers, cheers
With another beer
Look at how society leers at you
You warm-hearted tool.
Aditya Roy Mar 2019
You could run from the past
Or face it
Or hide from it
In the future
Aditya Roy Apr 2020
My favourite cat
Did more than just **** mice
It had a short tale too
Aditya Roy Jul 2020
I have written this one before
The nights getting longer
The poem is getting shorter
It beckons me to think
Now I have act
Feel I must
Because thinking is tearing me apart
One half seeks resolution
And the other half replicates the other
I am in conflict
Like a gun in the midst of the toil of war
Racial war may be
Where black isn't white
And white isn't all they think they are
I suffer the same diminished ego
But when the lights go dim
Both the swirly halves turn into drizzling rain merging with puddles
The puddles.
Feel I must.
Aditya Roy Aug 2019
Cry your tears
With the silent sayings
Of fortified silence, and challenge them with poetry
Make your sadness your own

Grow the fruits of your labor
Make the most of simple fruits
Seeded and blue, are the moon and sky
Like tears in the sun
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
Aditya Roy Jul 2020
She runs to school
Every morning
Comes back with her friends
In the afternoon
Washing the dishes
When the moon comes out too
How does she live on the bucks
Of waiting tables all her life
Should living be a gust of wind
Or a rough strife
Aditya Roy Jul 2020
The value of power
Is in the hand of the employed men
Then, why do we consider the power currently
In the hands of authorities, an unrighteous force?
Christianity, considers power an unrighteous sin
A powerful force that can carry out the most immoral actions
Hence, the more you understand the ideas of God, the more you will realize
That our established societies break the boundaries
Of what is correct and incorrect, just to sway from this unequal force
Will deny that most of our ideals are equivocal or questionable
But, what about our wants
Let us ask ourselves, is it wrong to want liberty?
Maybe, according to Aristotle who said the city-state need not
Necessarily promote liberty
Aditya Roy Nov 2020
She was the fire
I was the yellow fog lining the skies

Crusting on the window of those ruby eyes
But, my heart never saw the light

Instead, I smoked away her lip-stained cigarettes
Making small banter about our ***

We could pillow talk through the night
Instead, we went ahead and brought up a child

She lit a fire in my soul
We made love, as I poked the coal
Aditya Roy Nov 2018
When in need
I almost leave
My heart's in the poorest place

But leaves breeze by
Went away with flying feelings
Re-entering my greed

Settle less for a nettle in the shade
Keeps the tamarind colored faces
In saffron streets
I'm trading love for a hopeless deal

Keep my heart
from leaving
Just to understand
It is just the rock
That keeps my veins and arteries
Alive

When I'm bleeding
My hearts remembers
Memories keep people alive
"The battered suitcases lay on the sidewalk again, we had longer ways to go. But, no matter the road is life"-Jack Kerouac
Aditya Roy Jun 2020
I have known arms white and bare
All administering an obsolete love
Through comforts and conciliatory gesture
If my love was bare, it would be invisible
In the sky blue ocean and streets that accompany me
Across the beauteous places, my mind asks for repair
Despite your love, my heart lies in the cold waters
Where marines live in the heart of the city of circus sands
Enveloping my soul stretched thin like a sail following the wind
'Circus sands'- Mr. Tambourine Man
Aditya Roy Dec 2018
I see the crystal raindrops
Fall into space
Form into the beauty
Of the ocean
Like water of the torrential waves
Drifting by the dolphins

Touching the shore
They kiss the port's mouth
I fall into pieces
But I can't touch the ground
My life is full of sound
It's that time of the season

For just the nature of
Earth
We can save it if we're alive
Just the part of our
Universe
For you and I
Merry Christmas
I love you guys.
Aditya Roy Aug 2019
Hey, teddy
Bear can we friends or eternal flowers in a garden
Blossoming together with passion, talk about the passion
Words endow us, as the lack of them help us understand
Hey skull in the eye of the saint's shadow
Shiny stares, be my companion or femme fatale
I wanna shine without craning my neck in pallid scales
We walked into hamlets, cafe looking for love that was callous
It hides sometimes like a callow canto for you
A bit lost too, I suppose these are the inchoate creepers of fincas
What's the verbal cue when you're so scintillating and coruscating
Scaling forests with your vivid, vivacious looks caressing my hilts
No lie, you look better than a tiagus
A fruit from Cezanne's pears and the road is life
Baring suitcases, and battered too
With your dancing days and cold gaze, warming and thawing my heart out instilling blue

Got me on a leash, my by-lines heralded by the perfunctory hooks
Take me out to the freezing forest in neon lights of colorful minds
Tiagus and meritorious places in your eyes, climb on the grass
Mirror them with your coldness in the heat of your mind, the rogue looking glass
The mirror is beyond false compare if I'm looking through you
Mirror them and I can find myself holding you close, sunglasses with flowery spokes
She bent to tie my laces and dealt the cards too
To my child as we find love, I can tell this how we should write
Or well that's how I learned from ya'
Truth, my contemplations never end if they start with ya'
I tell everyone she is the one, she isn't unctuous or sanctimonious

By shedding our souls and peace requires understanding
Ain't nobody us understands like you, yeah
In the cusp of my childhood and keeping the nightmares at bay tonight
I can finally look at the waning moon come out after the sun dates the light after each stanza
Light of my life and the darkness of frolicking thing dancing on the iridescent shore of the frescoes of lithe la fille plus anime  
Having fun innamorata, or thallasophilia of the hills that have eyes
We can share the peak of the fire, and the icy handshakes are gone
The glaciers are meticulously melting in love
I'm still staring at the puddles

The memory of water, fuliginous orchards set ablaze
What are you waiting for, get in first with a blazing letter
Style can be introduced, and that's how I understand vermillion art
Hold you tight in my daydreams and the fire of my likeness
I love the heat of chartreuse and a campfire near a distant river of reflected dreams

Much better, if I limply came with roses
Hugging you tight in my wounded life
And bare our souls or becoming deeper
We can spend togetherness on this night of scattered starlight

In sudden heaven or sudden bliss, that's immeasurable
Either way life or living, you expand my mind amiss
The fire of my likeness, a visceral starry dynamo of minds
What's my verbal cue, when you're the Goddess of my ****** things

We speak in silence and hear the heartbeat
Silent because we don't deserve each other, probably
Assimilating these feelings is an immaculate conception and form-expression in one
You make me and complete me, halcyon I tell ya'

That's a truth stated in scientific truth with calculated looks
That lie like the fires in my coal eyes, although Illmatic eyes are brown stuck in moral kiosks of the midnight soul
The body that walks under cloudless climes
The midnight chimes with the starry skies perturbed
Le écrié drama pensée suiva
Winking at us, or we look at them once in while in emollient Earth
Aditya Roy Aug 2019
Does the sender dance to the tune of the rights
Does the messenger believe in love and call it food
Love letters washed in limbo, I've stopped
Sands and jaded solace of Soho and the midnight lurks hanging like gallows stark in starlight just like we hugged
The arms of the machinist broken by the assuaged quirks


We won, and this integrity of the jejune kind
A lively berry in the possibilities and
Probabilities of time, flickering crystalline face like the mirror across your sea
Ripe and the average
                                                                             Brit ****** mystery


doesn't excite your insightful side
Here something for you, to remember, I have
drawn the lines to tell
                                                me where does it draw to my incubation
Something that makes this broken poetry

Sounds complete when                    you are reading enough from me
Trending poem, titled indelible plenary
How is it really?
My first poem.
Aditya Roy Jul 2020
The old lady cackles
The man in shackles
All look for hope
Left to dry out in the sun
Like rattlesnakes crisping
In the summer sheen
In the same vein
The rattlesnakes prey on ostriches
Ostriches bury their head in the sand
The sun burns the old man
The old lady stops cackling
As she chokes on a mudcrab
Aditya Roy Mar 2020
I am stuck in claustrophobia
If I am around you
In an elevator
Aditya Roy Oct 2018
I sweep my house
Cleanly
Cementing the marriage vows
Aditya Roy Jul 2019
Mister magic where is your machine at
Let's solve this at present
Give this a rest
Curiously, flying on the edge of life
Is like watching your belief in the system
Succumb to the crashing of waterfalls
Immersed within itself and absorbed by its own
It's just that being a victim of my own devices
Makes me no sorcerer
Aditya Roy Aug 2019
Lintels and truth
Hotels juxtaposed in the syncopated flickering
Mobile hotels finding their meaning in a portmanteau
Laissez-faire calls for a reaction
Combing through the spring temperament, and passionate loquacity
Counting my words when talking about trash in fashion
Spend on the passing fashion and fester a little ****** peace and penned-letters of good grief from breathless representatives
Hanging from the balance of thought and action, clinging to crippling doubt
Aditya Roy Nov 2018
Caressing the rain
Addressing the waters
That keep these streams
Off the weight of love
Keepsake these dreams afloat
Hope stirred a cloud
A cotton candy
A dream of
Sweetness
Of possessions
I'm wearing my attire
Like you are mine
"Love is a serious mental disease"-Plato
Aditya Roy May 2020
I want you to come closer
Yet, I feel that the time is not right
It is when you scatter away like a jellyfish
Orifices and any rock could not hide
A sweet smile meant only for me shall decide

Summer shall soon bring hot weather
Like the rain brings the sunlight
I am the closest to you in a secret wish
More than what is inside
You will find me by the tide
A small love poem. Although the definition of love and small has changed.
Aditya Roy Nov 2018
IN THE SUMMER '06
Two girls
parted ways
over fights they couldn't
understand
and the mind turns
art paves way
for more to demand

Both
Over
An artist
Trying to get underneath
His skin
Little did they know
That the boy has
Two girls
kept in his basement
as wax paintings
They look like each other
To him
They have the same impression
The same colors
Of personality
Difference in shape
But the *******
Bring warmth each and every
other way
And what's down there
Is a matter of mystery
To some
But not a stranger
To the brush
"It takes a while to be young"-Pablo Picasso
Aditya Roy Jan 2020
Silence when held
Is the virtue
Of one who holds it
Like a cloud holding thunder and rain
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
Aditya Roy Jun 2020
In a minor, sudden breeze
While we go our certain ways and linger
You pass the arcade and pick out guilty men

Life is a brief flicker that never ends
When there is a faint wave of her hand
What was a fire is a candle

Of the clouds and waters as one
Under the distant clap of dust and clouds
The sea have lost tumult and tide

When I am not here
Just remember that I am in a paradise
Always here, on your mind

Most likely you will go away
Under the clouded skies
With your pitiful lies

On your face there is a copied smile
That will never leave
As you curl the tip of your nose and coyly shy away

I could remember that I
Cannot just quickly forget
It is time for us to quit

In a minor breeze
There are arcades
That fall silent to your laugh, but, I know you fake
Most likely you will go your own way
Aditya Roy Jul 2019
Grand star-crossed roads
To star-crossed overs, far from planets of lucid dreams
Cinematic stars that shine like the spotlight twinkling like the limelight
Aditya Roy Apr 2020
All along the zoo station
There sits a girl in leopard prints
Her hamstring aches
As adumbrated headlines are in the prints
Thellenistic books lie as the library sits silent
Librace wears his socks with his gold chain
Like a train runs on the tracks and carries Jesse James
Soon, the outlaws will outlive the sheriff's pigpen
This girl has been here for a night cap
Her books fall from her shoulder
Like her hair
A handsome fellow arrives
And sweeps her off her feet
She has never been to the circus
And pulled the strings
Aditya Roy Apr 2020
I stopped kicking the dirt and bit the bullet
Submitted to the pillars of power
Started believing in my stars and the ardent hour
I let my memories die with the clouds of the night
Part 8
Aditya Roy Oct 2018
Flown through
Turbulence
Of glass-blown skies
"Do the difficult things while they are easy and do the great things while they are small. A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step."-Lao Tzu
Aditya Roy Jul 2019
If you could see
How well I remember you
I would stop writing lyrically
Aditya Roy Nov 2020
It was Sunday that she shuttled
The bell rung out
As tocsins in her cerebrum
She couldn't keep him out of her system

Hearing time hurrying nearer
Scurrying, hurrying nearer
Around the surface, him
Through alley (Where is he?)

Narrower
With every footstep
Until it opened up
To view of the ocean

That was real
He lay in the boat
Taking the storms on even keel
Reeling in the sails with the love of preservation

Pulling himself
Aboard
Without shirt or sign of sweat
All she could think of was... every moment coalesce

How could his smile
Evoke so much emotion
In this insipid world
The ocean tides over the docks by the bay

There's a lassitude, a bit of it in the fresh air
I wish I could say they kissed
But, the sun had set and they were sharing it
Every moment had come to this.
A love poem.
Aditya Roy Mar 2020
The lights were bright
The times were rough
The nights were gay
I hope the blankets are enough
It was up to us to guess
It was up to hope to rescue us
Whether there was rain and robbery
Whether there was pain and prayer
Whether there was ache and acrimony
We couldn't tell properly
You came to my life
To stir my true innocence
My love was disturbed
Like rain on sleeping buds
Laying on a bed of flowers
You were right next to me
To me help me treasure
The flowers opened up
To tremors of your heart
Without measure in vast repose
Of land half composed and disposed
To our creator, unperturbed
Aditya Roy Nov 2018
The more I tumble
The closer
I am to end of my
Road of rubble

The more I climb
The further
I am from the time
I used to climb
Trees in my childhood

In the end
The rabble rousing
Just takes me to places I just dream of
Aditya Roy Jun 2019
Tinkering cups
Placed on a plate
The pills of sugar dissipate
Aditya Roy Oct 2018
Coffee in my innermost thoughts
Keeping me awake
At night
In the sleeping recesses of my mind
"You're only given a little spark of madness. You musn't lose it."-Robin Williams
Aditya Roy Nov 2018
The **** anchor kept me
Near the coffee machine
Long enough for me to ask her out
Inchoate yet Agreeable
Aditya Roy Aug 2019
Are you the beads
On a necklace
Because you look good on my neck
Are you my eyes
And wear my looks on
Are you the coffee
I have instead of tea
I’d read you instead of your choices
Like the luck of many jewels and mellifluous
Noels that shine on the trees in the auriferous
Celebration of Christmas
The coffee is getting cold in anticipation
Waiting for you too
On a distant menu of reading material
I love you like my to-do list
I’m glad I understand and unsee you, in chiming bells
Let’s go to the place together and sleep
Forever
Yours truly
Sincerely
