If I once again gave you my everything,
would you leave me behind silently screaming?

Stop looking at me.
Please just stop.
I'm tired of being on the spotlight.
Just stop criticising me-
you keep instruct-no demanding me.
You keep demanding me to change.
Demanding me to be okay.
I don't want to change.
No matter how much I want to be okay,
I don't want to change me.
My essence, my unique.
Just let me be. Please?
Stop staring at me.
Stop looking at me.
Just... listen to me, please.

How it hit the floor…
Dramatic levitation
Through taut space and time.

Chandelier’s lit
Coaxing playfully, ornate
“Festival of lights”.

Dreamy melody
Seeps outta a gramophone
Velvety delight.

Air’s alive, festive
A blend of calm and upbeat
Layered steamy ambiance.

Mind is a mash-up
Typical tasty mocktail
Tad delectable.

A lot meets the eye
Perception’s a circus of
Bland perspectives.
…interaction with reality…is mostly listless, when we pay a little more attention, being awed is almost inevitable.

A leaf glides…effortlessly to the forest floor
As if guided by some mystical force…
Akin to a wave “destined” for the shore
It bristles with certainty that it’s on the right course.
When it rains…pitchforks…the eagle doesn’t fret
Or “sweat it out”…it’s a prized chance to rise
Above the situation…quite literally, not necessarily to get
Sky’s attention, maybe just to affirm where its strength lies.
Millipede’s slow, adopt nature’s pace
Destination is in sight, rushing’s ******* into the wind.
Each step is monumental taken with poise and grace…
Pausing every so often to catch a breath and unwind.
As opposed to clutching at straws, being still is paramount
Rome wasn’t built in a day, all “subtleties” count.
#becoming.

A Poet
Make me the exception,
let me love you; for she does not.
Make believe blindly in you and invade my heart,
****** me of reason,
turn my blood to flame and let burn with passion,
embrace me, never let go, live inside me.
Make me forget, please fulfill my r̶e̶q̶u̶e̶s̶t̶.

Limited by the limitless
Shouldn’t be limiting at all
Limited by limitations
Can be limiting at times
Upgrading the limitations
Can downsize a good chance
A limitation lost
To the limitless possibilities
Limitless one can be
“stretch your capabilities to the limit, they might surprise you”

Hollow silhouette
Mysterious, shines the orb
Enchanted strands lit

Maybe love is just a concept,
something that we’ll never truly obtain.
A theory- if you will.
One that we’ve tested and tested for-
No luck.
Maybe love isn’t real.
We want it to be so badly.
We want to be needed and cherished so bad.
But maybe- maybe it’s impossible.
To need and cherish someone to that extent,
and for them to reciprocate it.
Maybe love is a lie.
Maybe we’re disguising our feelings,
giving them one broad term ‘love.’
Maybe love is just a concept.

Today I’m floating-
I haven’t decided if that’s good or bad,
But I’m floating.
I’m seeing me, but I’m not in my body.
I’m watching myself, a stranger almost.
It’s weird, and kind of odd,
But I don’t mind it.
It’s better than being alone and cold-
And it’s better than feeling all the things.
Everything that stranger- no not a stranger,
Everything that I feel has no effect on me.
Does that make sense?
I’m just watching myself,
while floating above.
In the deep dark dead of night
There’s charcoal colored skies
That suffocates the light, the stars, and fireflies
The atmosphere is crude
In an egocentric mood
An agitator, mischief maker
With something more to prove
Such as a smile lit up in the sky
Or a fluorescent crescent moon
To see and sit back and behold
This panoramic view
Because after all, there’s not much more
You can or cannot do
