A fistful of time...
Saw the doing and the undoing
of misguided hands.

A fistful of words...
Hurled in exchange,
like expended rounds that
drew more than they should.

A fistful of life...
Taken for granted
and traded in for
forgotten sands.

A fistful of heart...
Wrung dry by familiar digits...
Suffocating still...
Like I knew it would.

Oh! How like you, I long to be a singing lark
Who among the fleecy clouds like a tiny speck
Remains hidden, drowning the air with music sweet
Rising higher and darting up with movements slick

In our ears, falls your song like peals of chiming bells
In clear, crystalline notes on this radiant day so bright
Why do you stay unseen in the far fringes of heaven?
Oh! Come out from the veils that cover you from our sight!

 Are you warbling of love in inextricable lays
Or chanting hymns to the God of greater heights
Diving up and down like a mysterious sprite
Are you trilling of the charms of enchanting sights

Soaring and swaying like a flitting dot of light
You ascend higher and higher to dizzier heights
I guess your wings brush against the sailing clouds
As you reel round and round in ecstatic flights

Have you bade farewell to the verdant groves beneath
Have you flown for good from your woody nest?
Why do you dwell in the heights, solitary and alone?
Have you made the firmament your haven of rest?

Hovering over unseen, you pour out melodies sweet
That fills our gloomy hearts with euphoric delight
Sweeping away from weary heads all sullen thoughts
And flaming our souls as ever blazing beacons of light!

As they always say
Nothing is for eternity
So does loneliness
Even if it feels like it will
I am telling you
It will not last forever
Trust me, it will end soon..

I've been beaten down,
torn apart and ripped to shreds -
I have the war scars to prove it,

I've been knocked down,
broken to pieces and left out in the cold -
I've been trampled and defeated.

Somehow,
I've managed to stay alive -
It's nothing short of a miracle,

I've managed to turn my pain
into poetry--an art -
I've even managed to make it lyrical!

Poetry is my life!
Without it I would be completely lost
In a world I don't fit into.

angry man wearing a denim blouse,
such a beautiful way to shut down your mouth.

nothing much to say, there's no one left to shout,
I'd like for you to stay unless you want to **** the mouse.

the bodies are kept warm sleeping in the oven,
everybody was left weeping empty pages for a question.

cats have nine lives, must be so cruel when they want erosion,
can they still sue sides if they need any emotions ?

bla bla, bla bla- don't you answer me as if you're my child,
i've learned so many things but not any worth-while.

ha-ha, ha-ha..keep bringing me more organs to pile,
it won't stop killing itself until the forest is old and wild.


stop making sense I don't love you enough to agree,
I revel in non-sense, so get far away from me as you can be.


you'll find the scars hanging by a noose in the closet,
take this axe and match it with whoever's standing the closest.


so don't ask me why I broke in today to put you in doubt,
there's sweet music in the background which keeps getting loud.


such a beautiful day to burn down the house.

Just one of those nights when I am pouring out but cannot find the exact words to put my thoughts in. The stars collide with my thoughts turning my atoms into dust that has probably snuck into your skin. Oh, how it felt to make a promise with a new heart and to adapt your ways and words. I just need you at this very moment because you are my poetry now and without you I am merely words. When I first spoke to you I had no words to express my felicity. You made me realize that I am capable of falling in love again. The book of my past had turned toxic and had to be thrown away as turning the page wouldn't work. That's when it struck me that the poison flowing from my past towards my future can only be brought to an end by burning all the memories and shutting it completely out of my body. It was hard as I was holding on to the broken strands of the thread that connected to my past. This time it wasn't my heart forcing me to hold on but my mind that had trapped all your incomplete words and wasted hopes. I had to let go and help myself climb up the cliff that I had been thrown off. I was so young when the pain had begun. And I am still forever afraid of being loved but I have to put my guard down just to let you in. You entered my life when I least expected and at times made me feel like the happiest person alive. I honestly don't know what your intentions are right now but I honestly love talking to you. After all that I have been through, my heart chose to fall again and it chose you. I don't know how you feel about it but you are very important to me and I know you know it. I am feeling this way after a long time. I am writing this just in the hope that my heart doesn't get shattered again.
I have let go ! Have you ?
...

I cannot thank you enough !
She had taken many a fall
in her life,

People and life had knocked her down -
in her back, had gone many
a sharp knife.

She was soft at heart,
naive and much too sensitive,
empathetic and kind,

She had an inner-strength
of the soulful kind,
and a very determined mind.

She grew up very fast;
depression and anxiety
stole a lot of her precious time,

When most people would have given up,
she kept getting up -  she never knew
when to draw the line.

She was an innocent girl,
usually misunderstood,

All she ever wanted
was acceptance, real loyalty,
and to be truly understood.

Other people's envy was always an issue,
her good nature was always the cause,

They couldn't be quite like her,
so they set out to destroy her -
they always instagated
such brutal, unfair wars.

But she still had a humble,
innocent, beautiful heart,
one that always felt the urge to give,

She only wanted to be genuinely loved
in return;
with peace, love and harmony
she wanted to live.
