you carved your behavior in my mind,
an impression once carved can't be erased,
like a carving on a stone,
even water can't faze it,
just like time,
carves actions to memories,
these memories sink in reality,
causing my motionless,
body to move in slumber,

Nightmares,
more like seeing the reaper,
or the puppets,
which move, glance,
and the worst of all smile,


Would it be okay,
if I could introduce myself again?

veil carrying stardust,
lift us from tis slumber,
guide us O, acorn hiding in the bark,
Dear, robin sing alongside,
Dogs as you carry the sleigh,
inspire us, give us courage,
Goddess of snow and winter,
calm the fire within us,
erase and cleanse the darkness,
be our gardener,
Master of forest,
help us bloom,
bless us with spells,
O mother,
let our footsteps,
cleanse and ward any evil,
make us fearless,
fill our hearts and hands,
with warmth of love seeking friendship,
Guide us O divine spirits,
Guide us everywhere,
be our compass,
and our protector.

you chapped your lips,
while I taped by wings,

you colored your hair,
while I lost my vigor,

you craved love,
while I cried in silence,

you shed glitter,
while I shed blood,

you clapped,
I clasped,

you laughed,
my pharynx struggled to make it through,

you kissed,
I lost my oxygen,

love,
a very inspiring topic,
a question unanswered,
but to me, it is the present,
I wanna love you,
love, the way you work,
from afar,
not to sneak, like stalk,
rather, just a peek,
while discovering my melody,
wanna see you smile,
not the whole day,
for just a while,
obviously, you are across a mile,
I wanna support you,
in whatever you do,
it's a little extra demand,
but its cool, until you don't notice,
I wanna see you smile, just with another girl,
witnessing your happiness,
while I kindle my emotions,
It may be an imagination,
you'd probably say, it's weird,
but it's just a little extra,
I don't want time to stop,
I wanna see you grow,
impress me over and over,
until you don't notice,
I wanna see you everyday,
being with you is splendid,
until you don't notice,
because if you do,
I would be flustered

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.........

dressed in a white robe,
beauty shimmering in the darkness,
awaiting your presence,
longing for the shrink,
amongst the distance amidst us,
we might've been star crossed,
I wanted to be closer,
Now am,
I revolve around you,
only to see you once,
between dusk and dawn,
one peek,
I make the day,
till tis day,
you smile when you see me,
sometimes we quarrel,
and you are behind the curtains,
blessed am I,

amongst my rage,
you offered me support,
amidst my fears, you interrupted,
by my side,
in my fragility, you aided me,
I owed, owe and will owe you a lot,
my life, my strength, and many more,
you unleashed, the true me,
I created an empire,
the power to create many more,
.
I blame you now,
in my happiness,
you left me,
not taking me with you,
despising this success,
I wanted to be there with you...

They have infiltrated our land,
They have taken our harmony,
To chase  money,
All is unfair,
The dark clouded sky,
Toxic fumes,uncertain showers,
They have searched for all the secrets,
leaving behind nothing, but regrets,
Deceiving our Mother, only taking and destroying,
They have decided our Fate,
Who should die, who should live,
And Yet again and again we forgive .......

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..........
