Paused, on the keyboard,
the ticks dissipating,
words, turning to clouds,
clouds of nothingness,
it's all a mess,
confessing my mistake,
reverting paragraphs of apologies,
lost, in life deserted,
the touch which my heart instantly recognized,
was lost again,
the butterflies had already died (in my stomach),
feeling lifeless,
I tried again, and again, and again,
thinking the cursor would reappear,
but..............................................
all did appear,
was my life line ticking low,
till today,
I regret, those words,
I swear to not let my heart, flush them recklessly,
For I don't wish to lose things again,
relentlessly,

I wish to tell you,
about things and stuff,
which happened to me,
you may judge, that it is situational,
but I wanted to tell you its all about me,
wanting to express to you,
not about the world, but about me and the world affecting it,
Now I stutter,
unlike butterfly takes its flight,
after it's struggle being caged,
Unlike creatures jump to freedom,
we are distinct,
We keep secrets,
shields of defense,
in a better way,
we make our own cages,
not because I want to,
but, because the unpredictability,
frightens my inner child,
and she is shut in her room,

Often we are,
Often we look, not closely enough,
Often it all slides, through the gaps,
Often we don't act, all is yap,
Often, often never get gets a chance to live,
just left it at often,
because amidst us, often never existed,

(What existed then?)
Nothing, not because we were close,
But,
because, we never harmonized,
amongst our instruments.......
-Komodachi (Strings detached)

Weeping on my shoulder,
wondering, and thanking my stars,
Tears falling, heavier than rain,
the boulder of your pain,
chills in my spine,
as I feel, the pressure pressuring you,
feeling glad, to lend my shoulder,
Not in pain, but in all that came..........

----Linda (on a stormy day)

the hall echoing,
facing the cheers,
you walked away,
from my side, to the flashes,

smiling cheerfully, as you could,
waving, holding, spreading your charm,
happiness that used to dwell, in your dream,

(pause)
(Silence)

Standing silently,
for me your presence,
and the twitching of your lips,
was all I could hear.........
