paradoxical questionnaire
dilshé Aug 2021
Are we living an Oxymoron?
In an existence with no "Once upon..."
Magnetism causes gravitation
Minds linger in constant levatation
Refuse the touch of blatant grounds
Can't accept reality will come around-
the corner, when the time's just right
of all the dreams you've accumulated - in spite
Is it in the constellations like mystics say
Never believed in illogical misfits anyway
Could futures possibilities be written in the sky?
Stutters in the struggles of answering the whys
Are we surrounded by patterns, codes to crack?
with the intelligence an average human lacks
Infinite questions & complications
Waiting for the great moment of revelation...

Heart of humanity
dilshé Apr 2021
Your heart is as cold
as Alaska
your thoughts flow,
like river Nile.
Your mind is as lush
as the Amazon
& eyes reflect the soul
like the sea & the sky.
                     Yet, your heart is as cold
                      as Alaska.
But, when humanity seeps
into your frozen core
As if the Sun shone down
& scorched the ice
your heart would bloom
like the tulip fields
& the night, a coliseum
playing the Northern lights.

The Starry Night
dilshé Aug 2021
i desire to reside
in Van Gogh's 'The Starry Night'
amid swirls of sapphire blues
timeless at moonrise, amber lights
wind warps the firmament
- magnificently expressive twilight
as dawn seeps in whirling, unforseen-
Saint Remy's asylum view; in sight.
silent village, cerulean nocturne
whispering melancholy -
painting, bohemian.
Inspired by Vincent van Gogh's famous painting.

Monday Blues.
dilshé Jun 2021
I'm losing my sanity

with this unjust reality

who do you think you are?!

decieving us with profanities.

Of parties & concerts,

ways to please the 5 senses,

paradise awaiting,

these altered reality lenses.

We're all waiting deep down

for a grand surprise

the chest of eternal joy

to be unlocked ...is lies

the never-ending Mondays

the 9 to 5's

was it really worth it..

when you near your demise?

Forget about it,

take a walk outside

abandon this routine life

and never look behind.

Infra-red
dilshé Jul 2021
Why the incessant heart ache
that comes with its persisting beat
the reiteration of menacing thoughts
-Inability to sit still in your seat.
a clenching jaw & those rapid eyes
implies the existence of a disturbed soul,
trapped between heavy walls of meat
at the pit of the minds' profound hole.
Are you in distress & unrest
in a state of mournful agitation
inflicted into lifes entangled turbulence
with no forewarning or invitation          
unwelcome thoughts linger to & fro        
pacing through the hallway of your head
from the livid past to a murky future    
Your senses awoke in - infrared.
Be insouciant & take life easy

Introspection
dilshé Jul 2021
Thinking contemplation
leads to revelation
seeking information
for a transformation
In a simulation?
this entire nation
an insinuation
of greater creation
or the ultimate narration
piques our fascination
less human conversation
more alienation
engenders more destruction
than annihalation
so, forget this complication
& make life a Celebration.
Why so serious?

hurt isn't rational
dilshé Nov 2021
abysmal feelings rise & fall
society hurts a shattered soul
I hate connection,
  proximity burns
     victims stay victims,
       till that victim learns;
       all you have is yourself,
      scarred yet starred-
    with glints of hope
amid the tar
hurts to know no one
understands
   trivial matters
     flare up in fiery lands -
       of hatred subtly
         thrown into your heart
          like an eternal hearth, none
         cares to help put out
     hurts to know the perpetrator
   gets more sympathy
than the one who's crying
at his torn dignity

insipid
dilshé Jul 2021
the Tvs' restless blaring screen-
the blurry sound
of a world gone rogue
you speak in empty connotations
but every conversation's
the same scripted monologue..
passion feels a million miles away
when every spark you caught is
subdued and fleeing
denunciated indolence is -
- emancipating, detachment
for a fatigued being..
a void between the world & I
a distance quelled -
when the heart feels whole.
Involvement in reality
catalyzes a desiccated soul.
when feeling passionless at times

awaiting Independence...
dilshé Apr 2021
restricted behind the bars of reality
strangled by deafening ethics & rules
deprived of the freedom of choice,
to be what you want, when you wanted to.
To be the sovereign to my kingdom of thoughts,
the monarch to my souls enterprise
I feel my insouciant youth evanesce
a passionate mind being scandalized
-encaged in rage with the worlds deception
that independence comes with age & time
soon only to be racked with the revelation
that responsibility replaces what freedom aligns....
waiting for the day I get freedom of choice.....

Unwavering.
dilshé Mar 2021
Don't let envious eyes
ever weigh you down.
Or the shrill of jealousy
ever silence you.
For your smile that shines
as bright as a crown
Transcends divinity..
from within you.
Don't let contemptuous people
incinerate your confidence.
Or their sinistrous intentions
ever waver the soul.
For great ones are born
with the glee of insouciance.
They satisfy the soul
not the devils call.
envious beings trap the weak, shaken by their hate.

invisible
dilshé May 2022
To be an anonymous cryptic thing
imperceivable being with invisible skin
to be unseen - but this time it's glory
with no need to share an idle story.
Dancing on the striped  pedestrian crossing.
Creeping up on an oblivious lakeside gosling.
Running maniacally through time square.
Not having to subdue the lunacies I wear.
Sneaking ticket-less into the theatres
Avoiding lifes'  void of norms, too meagre.
The imprisonment in being seen
- at the expense of living like a libertine.
dilshé Apr 2021
Another facing the screen
writing profanities
thinking insanity
stitching verses acrimonious
or playing pungent words-harmonious
fabricating delusive fantasies
in feelings of pure ecstasy
melancholy or malignity
forged in the bliss of minimalism
or the complex art of maximalism
inspiring poetic athleticism
pressing keys with blazing passion
in an 1880's typists fashion
or pondering by the window
creating a marvelous crescendo
evoking curiosity,
a poetic monstrosity
of thought provoking quality
for questioning our entity
or embracing the obvious,
in whimsical simplicity.
A poetical society
behind my pixelated screen
indulge in poetic impropriety
in Hellopoetry!
written in free verse, as liberating as poetry should be

anachronistic journal
dilshé Jul 2021
In a dusty pile of the past
A journal stained with time
A memoir of your childhood
An accumulation of arbitrary
thoughts and rhymes
cringe-worthy phrases
of yet evolving thinking
You'd wish you could erase
from existence & printing
Unlocks a chamber of nostalgia
whimsical feelings
& the scent of home
Unravels an eternity of memories
vaguely reminisced in monochrome.

Murkey thoughts

of potential poems

                            lurk around

my heavy void                         of emptiness

the struggle to translate them into words

                     fires up frustration

an insinuation                       of a dulling passion......

once existed a mind of clarity-

               unbothered by the taunting past & present

& the future of uncertainty
                                        
Once when I wrote of       frogs   &    jellybeans

with much simpler rhyming schemes

once when confusing questions didn't   f l o a t  around

certainly not ones that were this
                                                         profound.

now insanity replaces curiosity

dysfunctional thoughts &
                                             distruaght rhymes

try to summarize

my ConfusiOn
finally gave up trying to write the perfect poem & ended up with this mess XD

The secrets of euphoria
Insist on letting you down

All this work but no reward
just something for humanity to hoard

search for the ends & the beginnings
another goal but no winnings

Time ebbs on, doesn't subside
so much to figure out during the ride

these accomplishments spawn burden
satisfaction's not an eternal eden

greet with smiles & socialize
an addition to those that you despise

delete destination, expectation, emotion
no fun in life unless you're one with its motion.

The Eye.

The eye is the mind's window
that portrays all beyond imagination
it feeds the mind with a key of thought
which we indulge in continuation.
But if one had never seen the world

& had lived in the abyss of darkness
How'd they know this world exists?

A nebula of starry celestial bodies

lightyears away, radiating cryptic melodies

reflecting light from neighbouring, Andromeda

I wish I was manipulative
-not to manipulate anyone
but to avoid manipulation
to identify corruption
look deception in the eye
& have the guts to say goodbye
instead of getting caught in the aftermath
- feel my heart sink in realization
these unapologetic moments of reiteration
to evade the soul being scandalized
Or a reputation - vandalized
By their merciless malignancy
- the wisdom to not be fazed or paralyzed.

sometimes you have to free yourself of thought,
the scrutiny, self-analysis

there's simply nothing left to realize or unravel
in your vast mind's premises

How can you see the beauty of the world?
with your eyes rolled backwards in it's sockets,

a burning stare into your soul,
both hands stuffed in empty pockets.

Look around, gaze anywhere, feel the ground & sniff the air
experience the new, try all that's there

live to live life without a care

This Era.
dilshé Mar 2021
What a time to be alive....,
The internet incinerates our intellect

Global warming is drowning our land

Toxic air chokes our breathing lungs

Obnoxious beings won't lend us a hand

Criminals, terrorists & notorious politics

Born with a youth that's distraught

Man seeks power not love or humanity

& only selfish survival is taught.

Earth is a place of immortal corruption-

This consensus is all that we hear...
But, does this era deserve such conviction ?
For a change of perspectives is dearer.

What a time to be alive!
Such a blessing to be born in this era..

The internet unites us in harmony

The azure sky has never looked clearer

Life is resplendent, with liberty endless

In retrospect to history- atrocious

The human heart beats of pure kindness

But, life is ephemeral so be cautious...

This miraculous world we ought to cherish,

An era where man & nature thrives.

So, forget the odds & take a moment to relish
This perfect time to be alive!
perspective is key to a happier life

comically melancholic
moments a heart yearns to frolic
eternity's soul demanding
those infinite joys; reprimanding.
change's been strange

repetitively remembered..
till you brush the cinders off the heart
reveals a ruby core; ashes swept apart
like a Diamond, nutured with pressure
a gem is born, stronger than ever.

Theatre of dreams
dilshé Sep 2021
Can't remember how I fell asleep

moments before the mind sunk pillow deep

unconscious conscious evanesced, fades

existential thoughts, the ace of spades

numb to the world, we disappear

blank comfort, unknown atmosphere

A ticket to the Theatre of dreams

seat upon a cloud or hellish screams

Where the mind's in liberty minus your intention

Without the strict regime & restless tension

A cinematic place of infinite wonder

no technicalities or time to ponder

The preposterous imagery behind your eyes

Solivagant adventure floating in the skies

As dawn arrives & your hanging on the brink

& wake up not knowing what to think

Starless firmament after dark
falling back into permanent gloom
stare up at the black canvas
manic thinking - only to assume
that telescopes show depth & dimension
a peak at a page of the universe

wonderous discoveries never fulfilled intention.
Even though we're enticed with possibility
expected to live our days with ecstatic productivity...
This facade covers up bleak existence
against glum reality - the human resistance.

blackened windows,

nocturnal breeze rustles the
                                   sidewalk trees
small dandelions
                    shiver and tremble
We saunter quietly
                      down the lonely lane
sharing 3am thoughts
                       and listening to the stars,

they twinkle but all that's heard is a faint -
                         Crickets' creak,

in a Silent world, untroubled after dark.

Before my bare soles touched the Earth
before the moment of my birth
  before my species had evolved

    before this world came to be
     before the magma, air & sea
      before our solar system spun
       before the great colossal sun
        before the starry Milky way
         before infinite galaxies
         Beyond the depths of this universe
         beyond the mind blowing multiverse
        beyond the trace of all beyonds
       beyond what logic corresponds
      who lies behind this splendid mess?
     come out creator & confess!
     if it is God, who created him?
    & the creator beyond that rim.
   As if a secret, forever hidden
  from human knowledge, strictly forbidden
what lies behind the mind's invisible wall?
the truth, the purpose of our soul?
               For I seek a beginning beyond history
               the great Beyond that remains a mystery.....
the beginning will probably remain an enigma forever .

A million copies of the plastic girl
a toxic culture around the world
Unique beauties - blind to ruination
diverse belles - their mothers' distinctive features
Fall victim to insecurities, a void

Other- worldly realities
preposterous portals packed in a pill
trips to unknown lands & whimsical hills

enchanted chance of instant escapism
experience the thrill - blind surrealism
distorts imagery, the walls melting away
colours that don't exist, paint the day

Glimpses of the truth of the universe
takes you to multi- dimensions unrehearsed
Infinite feelings - euphoric
And in the moment is where you frolic
All in a few micrograms of these
clandestine chemicals..

Which I know aren't meant to be glorified
but if they had no consequences at all
no complications or dangers,
Wouldn't you swallow one or two
If that was the case, honestly I  would too...

Sudden thirst for adventure
Nagging my brain off to venture
In a citadel of imagination

So much possibility
Yet out of reach in ability
Thoughts built an alcazar in pure elation

These hopes clash with the ordinary -
Mediocre, prosaic reality
But maybe simplicity's not as bad as they say

The search for 'extraordinary'
Will have to wait in its dormitory
So, I'll leave them in my dreams
                             for another day......

Blind to the 4th Dimension,

In the Grand-scheme of things
We're all linchpins
consciously mindless vagabonds
You weren't given this miracle
as a coincidence
to merely exist
But - despite the circumstances
To rise from the mist
Let your presence flourish
In this enigmatic experience
It's a 'Once In Existence' thrill
A sweet yet bitter pill.
Pain is inflicted upon
- those capable & strong
Possess the potential to fight
Turn the Inferno into a song.
Sometimes you'd have to find...
Life at lifeless times
-Moments to feel alive
Passion in the ashes
& an eternal sparkle in the eyes
-Of a chosen soul
given that ticket to the world-
Simulation or imagination
-Beyond comprehension
A pricelessly incredible
Spontaneous creation.

If truth was a colour

something in existence
                                            something you can't find.
If truth was a sound
                                             then man wouldn't hear
seen as a blurry
                                             yet something so clear.
If truth was a feeling
                                                      then man would be numb
or truth came with danger
                                                     yet man would succumb
If truth was a deer
                                              we'd be the hunters
like finding a rose
                                                           in the dead of mid-Winter
If truth was a sea storm
                                                 then we'd be the yatch
That drowns in curiosity
                                                          consumed by the lot..........

From an abyss of oblivion.
with no existence of a past.
My soul was dragged to a worldly place
& into a body I was cast.

From birth you piece of mobile meat
I've learned to call my own.
When really I have an incomplete-
identification of who you are.

Are you an anonymous delusion?
Or a master of deception?
Who was created in clandestine-
meant to be my feign depiction.

From the moment I came to this dimension
& till this journeys end
You carry a soul piqued with confusion
as your own & as a friend.

An enigma from the day we met
Your identity never gets clearer..
For everytime I glance at my reflection
A stranger stares back from the mirror.
the most unfamiliar face you know is your own...

                 I lay on my bed,
                 the phone in my hand

                 has stolen my gaze.

The hushed house is asleep
as I'm wide-eyed & awake,
menacing homework still unfinished
tomorrows problems can wait-

               for what matters in the morning,
               doesn't matter in this moment
                though the regret I feel at dawn
                  may require an atonement.

my procrastination has lead me
to the classic- stretch & yawn
I let the blanket comfort my soul

We find our sentiments
&  create our aesthetics
to reside in our minds
though we know it's pathetic.
Living in the reality of-
another dimension in our head
when in reality- soulless eyes &
a presence dead
haunts the present world
shifting phases, facing conversions.
The body grows,
as strangers take over
or is it the same soul
in different versions?
some grow & change in their heads with only a vague sense of the real world.

for my fluctuating moods in ombre

expectations that start to swell

a murmur of malaise

Here I am,
Overthinking every sentence
Having grudges over jokes
Cringing at my awkwardness
and crying over thoughts,
of how they may percieve me,
do they see me as a ghost?
questions the devil in my head
always starring as the host.
But, does it really matter?
Should I even give a hoot
If someones thinks that I'm a lunatic
or a fairly worthless brute
Aren't  we all dust mites to the universe
and hamsters to the truth?
To ever care about our problems
To be of seriousness, routh.

Silvertongued devils.

On the crest of a wave
I smile in glee
as society,
is finally applauding me
but malicious eyes
they wish to see
my blissful aura -
in debris
to quell my smile
with their deceit -
the warm smile I give
everytime we meet.
they  mask their hatred
with affinity
& blind me with  
feign intimacy
& slyly execute
the plans conspired
against my joy
with wickedly wired
minds of malignity
with silvertongued mouths
shredding my dignity
casting me out
Of societies appreciation
making me a nobody
with immortal manipulation
ruining my reputation.
Rattling the jury
that gave me a place
provoking my fury
as I catch up to their pace
& realize wholly
with my shattered smile
I've been decieved
by their intentions- vile
Caught in the aftermath
of their callous deception
I shed a few tears
& confide in introjection
As I too put on a facade of Manipulation.
manipulative beings are often the 'once manipulated' by people who couldn't stand their smiles...

Depression of a Cynic
dilshé Jun 2021
I used to be one of the jerks
who thought depression wasn't real

But, lately I've been oblivious
to the strange sadness that I feel

These days I see no point in life
what am i doing here?

A soul gone hollow, empty existence
and a mind that's far from clear

Profound questions rack my brain
but the answers leave me shallow

I feel the formation of a void,
an endless pit so hollow

Things I used to romanticize
bring me joy- no more

Is this a 'perk' of growing old-
just to be filled with bore?

Not usually a downcast being
just vaguely melancholic

when reality punches you in the face
to the truth- far from euphoric.
Let's hope this is a phase
