...

Death is like the full-stop to a beautiful Poem.

It becomes complete.

When you end a Poem, it doesn't cease to exist.
Instead it remains in your memory for as long as you are.

To be remembered.

To be celebrated.

Famous art works wouldn't have been famous in the first place had the artists not completed them.

A poem by a poet wouldn't have been appreciated had the poet not put a final full stop to it.

Beauty is not in the length, But in the end.

Life is a piece of Art.
Be the Art that is remembered for its beauty, not its existence.

My thoughts about Death.
Just Thoughts, Not really a Poem.

voice

"her writing depresses me" he says

my voice quivers, falls up toward
space and crashes
down
against the sea-salt waves. my voice

s-s-s-stutters, repeats the first
syllable five times and once again
for an even six, repeats, repeats,
repeats. my voice is

quiet and every teacher i've
ever had calls on me with a
"speak up!" but no one ever
listens.

writing is the only voice i've ever known
you will not take that from me.

someone told me this today when i was reciting a writing prompt in class; my thoughts on it are pretty clear.

If Only

If Only

If only, you could understand my love
We would have loved a million times
If only, you could understand my love
We would have hugged a billion times
If only, you could understand my love
We would have fought a thousand times
If only, you could understand my love
We would have celebrated all the time
If only, you could understand my love
We would not have wasted this precious time
It’s been 8 years
I am still waiting, hoping, dreaming
If only, you could understand…

Forget (20W)

Forget (20W)

It's hard to
forget
and let go,
I know.
But when you do
You'll
forget
the things
You're supposed to.

Erennwrites

It's never easy. It might take months or even years for something that's been there like forever. I know how it feels. It tears you up inside You can't breath, you can't sleep.
He/She is all you could think about everyday.
But when you do,
The whole universe will follow your pursuit.
Pursuit to your own happyness.:)
I got inspired again. Dedicated to a friend who's going through a difficult phase in her life.
This is for you.

Truths

The truth has multiple versions,
You cling to your version,
Condemning any other version as a lie,
Missing out on a chance to explore other truths

on meditation.

Inhale exhale
Counting breaths
Can’t stop the thoughts from
Flooding.
Have to stop the thoughts from
Flooding.
Before the day begins.
Before feet hit the floor.
Inhale exhale
Counting breaths
The only way to
Calm the mind.
Inhale exhale
Can’t stop the mind
Can’t stop the mind from
Running.
Lengthen breath-
Inhale 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 exhale 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
Inhale 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 exhale 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
The thoughts fly in one ear
And out the other.
Out **** thoughts.
Out I say.
Relax the feet
Relax the ankles
Relax the calves
Relax the knees
Relax the thighs
Relax the hips
Relax the stomach
Relax the chest
Relax the shoulders
Relax the neck
Relax the mouth
Relax the face
Relax the mind
Relax the mind
Inhale Exhale
Relax the mind
Relax the mind
Exhale 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8…

A note on my meditation.

I fell in to a deep
Painful but comfy sleep
Truth is close
Love was overdose
Which did I chose?
What I needed most
Was love that cost
A huge part of me
That I couldn't afford
So I fought
For a long long time
This day everything seems fine
And I was too kind
To be blind and find
Ways to not let you cry
But now
It's over
No more lover
I am sober
You are a goner

Worries, worries.

Worries, worries.

Worries, worries, cramming up my head.
I wish I could just take a break.

But of course it's not easy,
Since everything has been really ******.

Maybe I should just bottle, bottle them in, instead.
Sigh.
