Khyati: Favorites

I found a foreign love,
under the covers
of a scarlet moon,

she asked me how I was,
and I replied, good, you?
She then began to walk away.

And I was left,
and I felt sick
and ill
and desperate.

For I just want to be in love, not to worry of the morning light.

Purge of the mind

Purge of the mind

The drops of the past
Wells up in my eyes,
As my mind purges
my soul of the
heart stung with
Poison.
Poison
That stains souls.
Which remain tainted,
In the bright cosmic world,
among the naive souls
In line to be slain.

Some late nights are different from the other

where did i go wrong?

where did i go wrong?

one second everything was perfect
and then the next it feels like we’re drowning

suffocating under the stomach of a whale
and frantically weaving through the teeth of a shark
and feeling the kelp entangle on your arms
and the faults burn you up
and your feet sink towards the mud at the bottom
your tears just dissolve into the ocean
almost as if you never cried
but you can still feel it in the back of your throat
all as you watch the light over you become less and less visible
and your lungs compress
and finally you lie still at the bottom mustering the strength to rise again

you’re drowning to death
but you’ll never exactly die
and that’s the most painful part

Yes! I know this sounds weird coming from a sunshine human like me!

Who always smiles and loves to be like a sea!

I finally found out that reason in the core! I know you might laugh but I sore!

I cry for soul connectivity, I lack friendships that can complete me!

I know the fact that I'm amazing and this isn't a bluff, But this void within me always says that...YOU ARE NOT ENOUGH!!

That hollow has left me so empty ,
That I always cry alone so that no one sees this
Unnecessary!

I feel like shouting at the top of my voice ,
But, I also lack hugs that could bring back my vibes !

I'm tried of lying to me and wearing a mask everyday,
I'm tired of hoping that I'll find some positive bunch some day!

This poem is for all the awesome people out there❤️who hide a lot of stuffs behind their smiles!

You.

You've been searching for beauty around you
Without realizing it was right there inside you
All along.

You are beautiful, beyond the universe.
You are the universe itself, unravelling before my eyes.

You are.
