Aditi

All they need to know
About you
Is the days I was with you
I did not write
I did not have to quiet
The tumultuous thoughts
Because you were the calm
Eye
Of all my hurricane

When most anonymous heart beats
Were busy ruining themselves
You were keeping mine safe
Inside your heart.

All they need to know
Is sometimes when you opened your eyes after your daily prayer
I could see the gateway to all the churches
I never bothered to go
They made a caphir like me
Believe in heaven.

When most of the times I was sure
Earth was the purgatory
If there was ever such a thing
And how I deserved it.

All they need to know about you
Is how when you touched me
It felt like a thousand dandelions
Being touched by a breeze
So rejuvenating
Drifting to a semi lucid reality.

Your love crossing all the boundaries
Leading me to a place
Far away from the differentiation of wrong and right.

All they need to know about you;
I hope to keep turning it into poetry.

I'm, still, all about you.

Together alone

Another night in this waste of a thing called life
Another night of paper fun

Another night pretending we are friends
I need to know if this will ever end

Nothing more than substance and material
We get so **** high, we start to feel imperial

Looking down on the ones who are real
We mistake our highs, as the ability to feel

We know we wont amount to much, we know we wont go far
Our wasted lives are spent getting wasted at the bar

Feelings only come with the substances we consume
Together here we are, but so alone in this packed room

Enigma

i plunge into your arms, cutting deep into your heart

call me your woman, i can surely play the part

In your heart, i am putting on a show
because love is not something I will ever know

I will gladly play the part
as i walk these brightly lit paths of your heart

Shower me in gifts, feel me in your bed
Ignore the negative thoughts emerging from my head

I will darken the bright paths that lead me into your mind
while proudly leaving my name signed

Give me credit for your smile
that way, i promise, you can keep me for a little while

I will leave you with my stigma
and i will come and go as an enigma

Come and go with the seasons
you are not the first to have these dreadful feelings

i always leave my mark
and they always feel it, while standing in the dark

With an inability to love,
i wear my feelings like a glove

Remove them as i please and
then put them back on with ease

I.

Today

Lines of time
on your body and on the ground
they do not allow you to rewind

tomorrow is today
yesterday has come and gone away

time will never be your friend
it is a simple representation of the beginning and the end

time is not what you make it, but what it makes of you

Material

you take comfort in the things you buy
when you say your life has meaning, you know its a lie

you love a person based on what you see
you've never considered that what's important might lie underneath

there is more to life, than the items you hold
your desire for material things, will leave you feeling cold

just look at the stars and the way they shine
the way love can wrap itself around you just like a vine

it can take over your mind, yet put it at ease
The only thing in the world that seems to make time freeze

the love that you hold in your heart and your hand
it will be the only thing that you take with you from this land

A Gift

The lines on your face, they will never go away

Each line on your face tells me the story of your life
A long lasting smile or the heartache of a lost wife

I can see your pain, and every bit of sorrow
I can see that all you've ever dreamed of was a better tomorrow

The lines on your face tell me that you loved more than you lived
And in your love is where you thrived

Your losses will forever haunt you
For the lines on your face, they represent everything that you've been through
