Paint me like the burnt air.
Unwanted, careless and forcibly inhaled.

Paint me like the bruises on my chin.
Blue hued, swollen and new.

Paint me like blood.
Flowing and hidden, threatening to flood out.

Paint my pain.
No one else knows, I so desperately need to share.

In vain, paint me
In vain, paint me in vain.

just live
One short night
Opened the flood gates
For the first time in years,
Releasing the river of emotions
I had held back
To shield myself
From the pain of rejection...

Years of winter runoff
Pouring through my veins,
Igniting my every breath
With the drug called love.
A raging torrent,
Untamable and unstoppable.

*the flood gates are open
We were star-crossed lovers
With stars completely faded
Upon the pellucid canvas
From hearts barricaded.

We were crossed lovers
Anger emanated from our soul
Clouded coils created catastrophe
preventing us to be complete wholes.

We were lovers
Pain and misplaced anger dissipated
by trust and words exchanged
Accomodating the memories created.

We loved.
Loved like a love created above the skies
Stronger than any weightlifting olympiad
We shared a loving bond unbreakable by lies.

We love,
The way a bee loves collecting honey
With love coursing through our veins
We love, like the sun loves being called sunny.
It takes a lot of strength to prove my love

Day in day out

I struggle for some trust

It breaks my heart to see the pain on your face

You have been through so much

It reflects in your veins

I have been through the same crap

Yes, a little different,

But I have fallen too,

In the same trap

A lot of patience and care

Yes I'm nursing it well

But for how long will these fears

surround your heart and mind

for how long

will they hold you from being mine

All the scars, the wounds will have to leave

And one day

when the pain sets you free

that'll be the day you'll completely surrender yourself to me
We have both seen demons and faced them too! Both of us have sunk in troubled waters, gasping for breath. But the way we have dealt with the pain is what separates us from each other. While one bounced back the other was weighed down. But here I am, extending a hand to shoo off your demons and pull you out of the hell you call your haven. And I promise to struggle till the pain sets you free from its wrath.
When I die I want someone to look up in the starry night sky.

My heart and soul are already attached to the magnificence of the beauty of the fixed luminous points in the night sky.

I promise you when you look up there

you will find me there

and

I will give you peace of mind
Isn't amazing how the starry night sky makes you feel completely safe and sound?

No wonder I fell in love with it.

These words...
They traverse the fine line between earth and sky.
They dwell not, surface-deep in the dirt.
They be haloed not, as the chorus of heaven.

They're just murmurs that swim intangible.
Like reticulated wisps of smoke.
Incapable of materialising...
Or take definite forms on their own.

They only await to be carefully selected,
rearranged and harnessed into a jar...
Before being sealed infinite with a title.

Be quiet and still...
For you will hear them.
Milling and floating in the silence
that exists between your heartbeats.

Listen close...
For they are fragments of you
and the universe.
They're thoughts and feelings that come awake
as you slumber.

Awaiting to be selected...
Awaiting to be rearranged...
Awaiting to be harnessed...


By you,
the conduit with a pen.
.
I believe almost everyone can write...
Just quieten down and pick up a pen. Harness the universe and conjure magic.
.
I've been looking, for you
are about to leave soon.
Time flies so fast and it seems
yesterday we were just as happy.
Our chests throb faster
when we are next to each other.

I was looking at you
for the last time. Before you leave,
please look at me, too.
My eyes yearn for your secret
glances and knowing smiles.
I'll remember you that way.

I am looking when you
looked at me, too.
The world shifted and
crumbled. Deep inside me
angels sang songs we only knew.
And then you looked away.

You never looked at me again
but I promise I'll always look for you.
