I should silence
this troublesome whispering
inside my heart

I've already considered
the plain facts
of absence

Falling headlong
into its gorge
too soon

Not knowing who might
drown in their own eyes
night after night

It's not my wish to punish
or pain another soul
beyond my own.

i've knocked on wood so hard my knuckles turn purple, they wonder why they had to be pawns in my game;
i've broken so many wishbones in hopes of fixing my brittle ones, specifically the knees i've fallen onto every night yelling at god to give me some of the happiness that everyone promises me i'm going to get
i've stuffed so many lucky charms into my mouth and still i only see the hope leaving my body, no luck of the irish for me, no *** of gold despite the burns i get from sliding down the rainbow
it was promised. it was.
i threw so many teeth over the roof that stopping the bleeding when they hit the soil became my new hobby
because which each part of me that i ruined trying to give out to the people who never cut me some slack, i always picked up the wrong end of the blade and sliced myself right back

if luck is real,
i was born on friday the 13th,
i've always been driving in a car without a fuzzy dice,
black cats are constantly crossing me on the sidewalk and i've spilled salt all over these wounds. my first birthday present was a clock and i can't turn back the time, on my wedding day my husband sees me in my dress before the ceremony, when he walks down the aisle he wonders why it had to be me. the shorter end of the stick pokes me in the side and reminds me it's all i ever get.

It was believed Macbeth was a cursed play, plagued by the death of the first Lady MacBeth. Actors were to avoid saying the name in theatre.
The opening lines were,

"When shall we three meet again?
In thunder, lightning, or in rain?"

I'm afraid my life has been all three

I can tell, you're pushing me out.
You're growing tired of having me around.
It's obvious and makes me feel as though
I could just drown...
I never thought the day would come
when you'd want me out.
I don't know if I can do it.

I am your bird of prey

Caught between 2 posts
And a glistening fence.

Neck broken,
beak to the ground,
Half way trapped inside
your field of green.

I am your bird of prey,

Wings on a wire,
Still soft and light,
with feathers gleaming
where promise of flight,
newly broken, fell to earth.

'Twas passion that lured me to your
nest, where the cloud kissed Sun
with time
turned ashen my listless frame.

A testament to nature's seduction,
there was no escaping
your embrace
As the warmth
slowly left
my still
beating
heart.
Inspired by a beautiful Robin I found yesterday, stuck in a fence I had put up around a field of garlic.. it must have fluttered to death, trying to escape.

She grew thorns...
Not to lure him in
        with deception
But to keep him out
        who was deception
For as beautiful as she was,
She was dangerous within
Her petals holding secrets
No world could bear...
She grew thorns
All to protect
Her fragile heart
From unleashing
Her sins...
A rose picked by any other would've been sweet... but it was he who was a sweet poison on her lips that turned her petals dark...

चला जाऊंगा एक दिन मैं इस दुनिया से
तुम्हे अकेला छोड़कर,

फिर ना मेरी याद आएगी तुझे
ना मैं आऊंगा वापस लौटकर,

पता है मुझे उस दिन ये पल थोड़ा उदास रहेंगे
मेरी कसम तुझे, ना याद करना मुझे रो- रो कर,

चंद शब्द कई बार रिस्ते बना देते है
तो कई बार चले जाते है तोड़कर,

नजाने क्यूँ ऐसा होता इस जहां में
सच्चा प्यार भी होता तो सिर्फ डर-डर कर,

इस इंसान की बात क्या करे साहेब
ये मुस्कुराता है किसी  इंसान का ही दिल तोड़कर,

इस दुनिया मे गमो की कमी नही है मेरे दोस्त
मुस्कुराते है लोग यहाँ गम भूल कर,

याद रखना जिसने भी दिया है धोखा मोहब्बत में
वो भी रोया है एक दिन आंखे भर कर,

तुझे पाने की तम्मना नही है हमारी
जी लेंगे हम भी तेरी मुस्कान देख कर,
तेरी मुस्कान देख कर........
Meri dost mujhe pta hai aapki es muskan ke pichhe bhi mayusi aur udasi hai....
Par dard to bantkar hi bhulaye ja sakte hain...

Spent the afternoon
In bed
On my regular
Scheduled
Day off.

Kept dreaming
That people
Were trying to
**** me.

My folks
Are saying
I don't look good.

Maybe tomorrow
Will be better

I want to hide my face and cry,
I'm tired of no one understanding why.
I bluntly say what's on my mind
and yet you say that I've lost my mind.
Nothing will change, because really
my feelings don't matter.

That summer you left me
Leave a burnt scar in my heart
I will never forget how you smiled that day
Like the busy city lights I always see
Blinding in the night
Yet when day comes it all fades away


That summer you left me
Like the water balloon I got in the festival
Diffused and the waters gone
Your touch still lingers like it was just yesterday
But it’s not there like how you are not here
All were just vivid dreams of past I always relived


That summer you left me
I thought I heard the cicadas cry
Mournfully buzzing through my ears
As the train already departed, I stood still
And I started to cry


That summer you left me
The skies were filled with fireworks
Beautiful as it lit up the night
But as it disappeared inte the thin air
It reminisce when my tears fall


That summer you left me
I was trapped seeing that moment
Like repeated flashbacks of a broken movie
Your goodbyes and farewells stuck on every wind
I keep hearing when summer comes back again


That summer you left me
As this spring is about to end
Will I see you one more time?
Those sunflowers sways gently
Just as how I was that day
With the coming summer wind,  I look back
But still, I can't  find you

writing whispered softly heartfelt mostly weightless
dreamlike adjectives and suppositions
I calmly fall through the skies into a white
blue pillow
of metaphor
close my eyes at impact
wake up again up
far high
over the clouds
hover near under angels
wings
higher than I fly
wingless only small
energies a
few synapses firing now
my soaring exploding all over
the atmosphere
I get high
I love that
I feel again
I laugh cry
normal like
but I fly
full of all of it
