Demons
Aishwarya Das Mar 2016
Stale blood running,
every dream failing;
Here I am, not willing to hide,
the beast that's inside.

that girl? harm her;
that old man? suffocate him;
that child? **** him;
that woman? take her baby;
that flower? pluck it;
that tree? chop it;

taking over the world,
greatest man till I'm old,
everyone alive fearing me,
all I can do if the demons please.

brighten up your lights,
the sins will take flights,
it's not upto your fate,
c'mon, it's not that late.

that girl,
she has the cure for your disease;
that old man,
he holds your biggest secret;
that child,
he is the happiness to all your sadness;
that woman,
she has the womb in which you lived for 9 months;
that flower,
it's meant to be in your wedding bouquet;
that tree,
it supports a swing which your child plays.
Sometimes we can't take over ourselves, we just do not know what to do. That's when the demons in us starts controlling us; showing us what we secretly, deep inside, strive for. And the urge for those demons to come out becomes stronger than ever. That time, that exact time, we come to know that all of us have stale blood running through us. All of us have dreams that failed. All of us want revenge. And that is also the time to calm ourselves because we never know what we had harmed, could have been a source of our ultimate joy when time would pass. To those dreams that failed; to those moments that died; to those memories that weren't made; and to those smiles that never came: thank you for a life changing lesson.

OUR MOON
Aishwarya Das Mar 2016
you say,
"look at the moon when you miss me"
just to add
"because we will be looking at the same moon"

but love,
realize how many others will be looking at the same moon too.

they could be
people who are jealous of us;
or people who hate us with all their might.
people who can't stand my happiness;
or people who might have gone crazy for me.
people who might have planned your death;
or people who might have fought for you.

so darling,
don't tell me to look at the moon that is being drenched by black souls,
because people who had gone crazy for me are poison to you;
and people who had fought for you are devil to me.

that is why sweetheart;
i say,
"look at our moon that resides in us when you miss me"
just to add
*"because only we will be looking at the same moon"

Loving
Aishwarya Das Mar 2016
i might have not entered the real world till now,
and i also know that i might not still know the real meaning of life
and that i might not have loved anyone so truly and deeply as i have been loved;

but in spite of all these,
being separated by someone you truly love
is the most terrifying thing I've ever known.

Halo
Aishwarya Das Mar 2016
become my light;
that's what you want

but why don't you understand;
I already own a halo
―an upshot of seamless struggles

Beast in me
Aishwarya Das Mar 2016
Stale blood running,
Every dream failing;
Here I am, not willing to hide,
The beast that's inside.
It is only a verse from my poem "Demons"

— The End —
