Chandni Del: Poems

Chandni Del Jan 2018

.

even the moon shines it's light
on the darkest of nights

Chandni Del Jan 2018

there is something
about the way
darkness seems to shy away,
the moment you decide
that the light
is not too bright,
it is just right-

it is better than the night.

better things

Chandni Del Jan 2018

better things

is there anything better
than the glimmer of sunshine
on the brink of despair
and the lost of hope

is there anything better
than a silver lining
when there is nothing left
and no way to cope

is there anything better
than looking forward
to a good day
knowing full well it is not a dream anymore
knowing full well that happiness is here to stay

is there anything better
than the warmth of love
for someone that
knows only pain

i hope for something better
to come my way
i hope for better things
and better days

my becoming

Chandni Del Jan 2018

my becoming

i'm obsessed with becoming
the person you once told me i could never be

sad music

Chandni Del Jan 2018

sad music

i cannot believe
my heart played itself
a sad tune
when you broke the strings apart

spill my heart out

Chandni Del Jan 2018

spill my heart out

aren't you glad
that every time when you
spill your coffee on the table
you can wipe it up and make yourself
another cup

i wish it could be the same
when i spill the contents of my heart

sun sets

Chandni Del Jan 2018

sun sets

i hope you realize
that the darkness of a falling sun
is a light for the bottom of the sea

they said/i said

Chandni Del Jan 2018

they said/i said

you could be better,
they said
if only you did it this way,
they said
if you just try a little bit harder,
they said

i am good enough,
i said
i will do it my way,
i said,
i am doing my best,
i said

there must be a reason why
i try and try
and don't see the prize
