suffocation // (haiku)

are you still breathless?
the wind is caught in my throat,
and your words choke me.

this hurt.

And then there were none

Pradip Chattopadhyay

And then there were none

And then there were none.

They came and they went..

silent joy simple fun

the starry firmament.

While for words this mind craved

the wind blew unheard

While this ink raved

flew away the singing bird!

The stars got weary of twinkling

real moon turned an imagined one

These blind eyes had no inkling
how they debarred the simple fun.

When they turned to behold

this madness was done

times hid in wrapped fold

And then there were none.

******* pathetic
I lace my tongue with regret before my lips even open

Who the **** wants to deal with that?

death of an individual

death of an individual

this veil over your dreams
may as well be a guillotine

'death of an individual' or 'invisible deaths'.

Be a person, not a puppet. Chase your dreams to the ends of the world. At least you'll have spent your life following your passions, rather than conforming to miserable social standards.

Material wealth means nothing. Find purpose inside yourself. Love people for who they are, not what they have.

Shallowness is a epidemic. Don't wear a mask to fit in with the ill.

social suicide

social suicide

Lay my mirth to rest
At the foot of my grave
I think it died the same day
I lost my face

Who the **** even knows me?
Who the **** even cares?

Hope is a ******* farce. Love no one.
Your friends only want you for entertainment.
This life is just a distraction from death.
You're only kidding yourself if you think there's more to it.

If only lovers lasted
As long as mistakes

endless winter

Sep 2014 Black and Blue

Akemi

endless winter

I have framed you
In soft pewter blues
For too long

You are an arc of indelible
Electricity
Thunder clapping through
My broken heart
In an endless winter storm

The only time I've felt alive.

reflex mentality

Sep 2014 Black and Blue

Akemi

reflex mentality

Bright and cavalier
You wring out your neck
With heavy hands

Show me a tongue without an anchor
Glistening eyes without glamour
Are you filled empty
With crowd mentality?

Your swell of bitter laughter
Is cruelty incandescent as fire

10:08pm, August 14th 2014

To people who accept only what they've been brought up to believe, and reject conflicting ideals by reflex.

you built a city
inside my ribs
then left.
