People always wonder
why do people do drugs?
Why do people smoke?
Because it's one of the only things
that will be there for someone.
Love disappears
People leave
*Disasters happen
and that cigarette
will always be there
waiting for you to pick it up
and feel the calm that sweeps through your body.

I crave human interaction
I want deep connections with anybody, everybody
human beings are the most beautiful things
I will ever see in my lifetime
all so carefully unique and unbelieveably complicated
I'm greedy to know human souls

there are just so many stories
so many mindsets
so many ideas to be discovered

I'm not a fan of small talk
never have been, really
I'm a fan of kindness
I'm a fan of closeness
I'm a fan of the way people mindlessly doodle while on the phone

I want to both observe humans and know them all at the same time

maybe I'm crazy
maybe we all are
maybe human is synonymous with beautiful
Life comes to each as a raging flame

It dances and it flashes

Then as quickly as it came

Our life is turned to ashes .

Can I touch you boy?
Right through this sheet?
Can you feel me?
My love and my heat?
Can you tell me please?
Do I even cross your mind?
And have you ever struck in rewind?
Do you even miss me?
Or is it all about the illusions I make?
Do you even remember the places
we thought we stake?
Will you boy?
Will you please understand?
That my love is so **** pure
It is not just a feeling, it is wide as universe
Of this I assure!
Can you even imagine the feel
cause now I want to reveal
You transformed my life into a holy shrine
It is like being in cloud nine
I don't know what you really think about me
Or do you even think about me?
All I hope is you to see
That I am right here waiting for you
And I'll always do
I'll always do.

Wearing my hand gloves and wrapping a cloth around my legs, I sit here in the class attending my extra winter lessons. This shiver in me and the cold breeze does nothing but reminds me of him. I remember the warmth in our hug, in his arms, whilst embracing him. Here, I sit and ponder about him making every tissue inside me content. I tried to stop myself from doing so, but couldn't help it! I recall the times which were similar to the present, though only on the outside and not on the inside.I remember how cold I used to get after our lessons got over. I waited for him on the staircase near the canteen and he came, looking at me as if I am the only person around.I recount the speed of our walks and the way he used to rub my hands to make'em warm. As I ponder upon it,I suddenly feel or perhaps just fantasized to feel his hug and how I thought that I would cry if I ever come across his arms now. I thought of his face  when he smiled at me and said something sweet leaving a perpetuating effect in me. Whilst I think about it all, I feel a tear rolling down my right eye. It just feels as if he will be waiting for me inside the classroom after the bell rings. Thinking the same, I came out out of the class and stood still on the staircase. Imagining that he'll come to me, I stood numb at that place for about 10 minutes. Just then,  my friend shouted at me, ordering me to move and bringing me back to my senses. I just realized that the exalt I was experiencing had receded my life long back and that he was not going to come to me anymore.I just couldn't react to my wonders and moved with my sister like friends to our homes.But one thing I am sure about is that no one can ever supplant his presence in my mind.

Thoughts, ideas, words, actions.
People, enemies, friends, demons.
Dear life,
You've taught me a lot.
But the only thing
I'm gonna tell my children about you is,
' you will never stop teaching'.

a paper town
a paper queen
care to be my
paper king?
crown of paper
sword of gold
a cape to put on
when we're cold
take my hand
come with me
build a castle
out at sea
daring sword fights
rule the land
this town was always
built on sand
take a risk
we'll be free
anything we
want to be
fleeting paper
love so bold
let's forget
all we're told
a paper town
a paper queen
care to be my
paper king?

I'm not quite sure
what is happening
and I'm not quite sure
what to do
all I know
is that you've got me writing love poems
and they happen to be
all about
you

sometimes I like to think
about all the places
I could be going
and all the things
I could be doing
if I was anywhere but here
but then I realize
if I was somewhere else
I would probably be thinking
the exact same thing
and I think sometimes
we get so caught up in leaving
that we forget how nice it is
to be
home
