Mercury Chap Mar 2017
I can overload the already built occupation with more competition and make a tower out of it,
in which my work would be only a brick,
Although cemented in the walls but invisible amongst the other bricks.
I don't want to be a brick,
I want to be creator of the tower,
Who will always remain at the base and remembered to the unending apex.
Mercury Chap Feb 2017
There are times when someone else's  words
Feel just as familiar as if they were your own
That you can't help falling in love with it
Happy to know
You're not all alone.
Mercury Chap Feb 2017
She doesn't need your 'love' to survive
Your 'love' meaning providing her with sufficient funds
Or giving her a roof above her head
Then calling her your wife
She doesn't need your sympathies  by buying her food and clothing
Or by doing the formalities of saying one word or two per day, like 'Do this' or 'Hmm'
She has seen a lot like you
No she doesn't need your 'love' and sympathy
She needs Love, real love
Which means, if you know how to read a dictionary,
Caring and being affectionate,
Not lashing whip at her for every single mistake she makes,
Understanding and encouraging,
Not blaming her for every single **** thing you did wrong in your messed up life.
Oh you want a fair lady, the fairest of all?
Before pushing her in front of the magic mirror
Dare to present yourself in front of it
Listen what it tells about you and your messed up grey matter
And compare who is being fairer.
Mercury Chap Feb 2017
Dear poetry,
You are still here aren't you
Why haven't you left me?
When I only ever wrote you gloomy,
Only so I feel better expressing myself to anyone who reads it
And discards it in their short term memory, left abandoned to be forgotten,
Why haven't you left me?
You're only there to display my grieves to those
Who look at you one second and look at someone else the other
Why haven't you left me?
When I rant on you, play with words on your belly to make an impact and point to the world
That my world isn't a happy place, that I am the biggest fault in my world
And you are the support which obscures all my faults
As they only see the calligraphy of words and mosaics I make out of you. They all seek beauty and heart touching sentences out of you and pluck them out like with their silly fingers and adore them. Cause why does anyone want to know about gloom? There is plenty in their world I bet.
While you over there materialise yourself for me and only me, open yourself to any other person who passes by and close down when they are done plucking out your beauty.
Why oh why, after all this are you with me?
Maybe because I have tied you to me
Maybe because I don't want you to leave.
Mercury Chap Jan 2017
Him
If they want Him to be the reflection of their father,
Then why don't they expect him
To make the same mistakes?
Mercury Chap Jan 2017
The only subject in the world
That enlightens you about the importance and beauty
Of all the other subjects around us
is History.

And you say we should forget the past?
Mercury Chap Jan 2017
If there can be crocodile tears,
There exists crocodile smiles
I see them everywhere
I feel them playing on my lips
Everytime I pose for a picture that I don't want to pose for,
I don't want to smile, cannot smile
Because there is nothing to smile for
But we have to smile for a picture right?
All over the world wide Web I see the plastic smiles adorned over pretty the faces
Only the eyes giving out the truth with a dull sheen,
The dead sadness and the extinct happiness
Reflected by that flash in your camera which is there to light up your face
Those smiles that make the world jealous and mean nothing to themselves
Can you just for once zoom in and look into the stillness of my eyes
See the longing and the emptiness,
Devoid of any form of happiness,
Of anything which can genuinely induce a smile in a normal human being
Those eyes of mine are just waiting and waiting for this one missing part in my life,
That hand I would hold with care,
Those lips which would kiss away my invisible tears
Those eyes which would take me to dreamland with one look
That voice which would tingle my insides into bursting fireworks
That person who would stretch the corners of my mouth as far as the west and east of earth
Without any effort that even I wouldn't realise
When I smile
Genuinly
For the first time in years.
