The temple bell stops -
but the sound keeps coming
out of the flowers.

Repentant
Oh lord
Forgive me for I have sinned
Like Adam and Eve
I am the snake in the garden
Oh lord
Will you forgive me for I have sinned?
Like Eve and Adam
I am the apple in Eden
Oh lord
I have sinned to be forgiven
Like Adam, Like Eve
All I knew was that you told me
To come back to you even if I have sinned
I have tasted hell for years
I am going to be there for years
Oh lord
Forgive me for I have sinned
And forgive the people who betrayed me
Forgive the traitors in my past
and the betrayals in my mind
Oh lord
Will you forgive me for I have sinned?
Like Abel, Like Cain
or will I be your lucifer
Lost in hell forever
lost touch to the rope
Like the son of Noah
For I have sinned?

dead poet
perilous forests
lay bare: sheer, dark, and sincere;
so many secrets.

I wanted you to take me out on a date,
but you said you're too busy,
romanticizing your sadness.
I guess you need that sorrow
to write your music,
just like I needed my heart broken
by you
to write my poetry.
Copy/paste from the Notes app on my phone.
I'm still a child,
in most senses.

I would be one to say no child deserves to die.
And so I don't deserve to die.

Lord, sift your comb
Through my thoughts;
Untangle them like
Unruly locks of hair.
Trace gentle circles
Along my back; sooth
All the worries that are
Groundless in Your love.

Vishnu R
आँखें सच भी दिखाती हैं, झूठ भी छुपाती हैं,
कभी खुली किताब, कभी बंद दरवाज़ा बन जाती हैं।

किसी में जज़्बातों का सैलाब उमड़ता है,
किसी में वीरानी का सन्नाटा तैरता है।

ये कभी अपनापन देती हैं, कभी अजनबी बना देती हैं,
कभी महफ़ूज़ रखती हैं, कभी डर से दहला देती हैं।

इश्क़ का इकरार इन्हीं में झलकता है,
नफ़रत की चिंगारी इन्हीं में भड़कता है।

कभी ख़ुशी का उजाला बनकर चमकती हैं,
कभी ग़म का समंदर बनकर बरसती हैं।

कभी पनाह देती हैं, कभी फ़ना कर देती हैं,
ये वो आइना हैं जो रूह की तहरीर छुपा रखती हैं।
Eyes reveal the truth, yet conceal lies,
Sometimes an open book, sometimes a locked door.

In some, a flood of emotions surges,
In others, the silence of emptiness floats.

They make you feel recognized at times, yet turns a stranger at times,
Keep you safe sometimes, yet may tremble you with fear.

Love's confession glimmers within them,
Hatred's spark ignites through them.

Sometimes, they shine like the light of joy,
Sometimes, they pour like an ocean of sorrow.

At times, they offer refuge,  yet at times, they destroy, They are the mirror that hides the script of the soul.

— The End —
