look at us now,
from dreams of gas and cloud
we were brave enough to fold into one.
to make us who we are today.
to live in the crimson sun and
to sleep in celestial wonder.
so don't waste any second.
this is what makes us feel alive.
Leena Sharma Sep 2015
breathe*
it is all over now.
finally
Leena Sharma Dec 2013
you're the only one I look to for advice
for when I am low.
I can go forward and I do know which way i'm facing,
but i'm scared.
will I ever get there?
If you were here today, you'd help me so
like you've helped all the poor souls,
through your songs that will never die.
they shout out your name all the time.
and will do for eternity
as you never leave a persons mind.
and if you were still here today,
the world would be smiling
as we'd share the same air and share the same dreams.
*you're not the only one.
For John Lennon. My hero, who passed away 33 years ago today. No-one will ever forget you.
Leena Sharma Oct 2013
Someone take the wheel,
I don't know where I'm going.
Can anyone help?
as right now I feel like
I'm losing control.

I'll just sit here
and watch the Earth spin madly on.
Can you feel it?
I guess I'm not the only one
losing control.
Leena Sharma Aug 2017
fear is myself now
frantically typing, eyes hazed, heart in my mouth
everything has halted and all I hear is fear.
I thought I was going to lose my everything.
and now i'm scared
because I can't picture myself without you.
i've lost my breath...
help me catch it back?
Leena Sharma Nov 2013
one day
I aspire to be happy with myself.
it seems so simple
yet the world yearns for it.
to be happy.
the day I accept myself is when my
body and mind
fold like stars and become
one.
Leena Sharma Oct 2013
just for a night,
let's go out to be
whatever we want to be.
as tonight we shall smile so sweetly
walking around in this new world.
but only for a night.
we wish that this would last *forever
happy halloween, went to a small party and it was great.
Leena Sharma Dec 2013
Our existence is broken.
All we see is the red lights flash,
metal in the sky and land.
The crackle of the silver static screen;
which plays, day and night. night and day.
It powers us
but, to the point where
it's all we rely on.
So, do we feel alive?
Just pick up your thoughts and hear them scream.
Just close your eyes and see how you want to live
in all your precious dreams.
Your only escape.
But, what we live through right now
is only the beginning of
the bleak, bleak endless cry.
Our worst nightmare has come to life.
Leena Sharma Nov 2013
where do you go when you find out that
your dreams are not dreams,
but are terrors that wake you in the night.
I heard living was easy with eyes closed,
but now i'm haunted with fear
on both sides.
Leena Sharma Dec 2013
I'm so sick of feeling so ****
alone.
All the time.
Someone fill my heart with
wonders of the world
and leave me breathless.
I'd linger on to your every words.
Lift the heaviness out of my heart.
*I just want to be found.
lonely.
Leena Sharma Oct 2013
I want you to be here,
so that when I wake up
the atmosphere will greet me
and make me realise,
that what I had wasn't a dream.
and that you were here all along.
literally just made this up. I don't have anyone like this in my life, it's something I kinda want.
Leena Sharma Dec 2013
what is it liked to be loved?
to hear those words,
must be like the whole world is dancing
and singing with you.
and when those three words
swim into your ear
your body will sigh.
goosebumps will trickle down your back
and it would feel like you're
finally at peace with yourself.
they wouldn't judge your flaws,
you know someone wants your time, body and soul
and they'll adore every atom and molecule in your body.
it must make you shine so bright and every single
cell in your body would beam with joy.
i've never been in love before, but that's how I picture what it must be like.
Leena Sharma Nov 2013
everyone's left
without you
and you're all alone.
lonely girl,
don't cry.
you'll get there, eventually.
okay?
Leena Sharma Oct 2013
whatever we do,
does it even matter?
cause in the end we die.
and will I ever be remembered?
I try and try and try.
It gets me nowhere. I'm redundant
cause here I am repeating myself now
while everyone else walks along
and all you see is me drowning in
the things you don't call dreams.
feeling low.
Leena Sharma Dec 2014
i'm jealous of the ones
who get to go back to someone who they consider to be their
everything, best friend, love, home
while I wait for that someone.
i've been waiting a while now.
sounds incredibly silly, I saw my two closest friends today after a while. They were talking about their boyfriends and what they described, the simple mundanity of having someone made me realise how i've always wanted it. I've just always kept quiet. Feel much more lonely.
Leena Sharma Oct 2013
she's immersed with his voice.
as always, she listens to his songs
and continues to fall
in love with him
even though he's gone.
she's not hooked on to the static screen
like the others
but devotes her time
to listen to the
beautiful man sing and play his sitar.
she "loves you to"
my favourite song off George Harrison is "Love You To" so I wrote this poem to show my love for him, he was a perfect man.
Leena Sharma May 2014
please don’t open me
cause you will find the things that
haunt and define me.
Leena Sharma Aug 2015
allow yourself to be happy.
go through your kaleidoscope of
hopes and dreams;
see the multitudes of options there for you
and then reach out for them.
set your heart for the sky.

don't fog yourself behind
the complications of something
or your inability to obtain something.
your happiness is pinned across the sky like stars.
so break out, reach for it,
before you don't have the chance to.
(For Nikki)
Leena Sharma Oct 2013
and I said to myself, "you're going to be
alone now."
and that it would be fine.
but i've lost all meaning of fine
and if you look into my heart
you'd cry.
as that is where I lock my pain.
and if you dare, look deeper and you will find,
the scars that hide in the darkest of times.
my poem, pretty much the first one I wrote a while ago.
Leena Sharma May 2014
if we're made up of
atoms and particles of past stars
then surely,
I should feel celestial
like you do.
Leena Sharma Dec 2014
let me fathom my fear into words.
I'm scared I'll always be alone
because I still haven't met someone
who simply gives a ****.
the sequel to the poem I posted last year. still waiting.
Leena Sharma Sep 2016
to think, how lost we were, until we found that person,
who made us jump out of bed in the morning,
intoxicated by the thought of returning to them.
they made us feel so safe
that we never wanted to leave in the first place.
I never left.
you did.
Leena Sharma Nov 2013
I want to be better
I want my bleak life
to be like my technicolor dreams.
not the life of broken images.
I want to make my life how,
I want it to be.
like creating celestial dreams
and see how bright they can be.
and in the end
all I'd want to see is
peace and love
reside within me.
my life is at that point where I want it to change positively as soon as possible.
Leena Sharma Nov 2013
there's not a day that goes by where I say
to myself
"you were beautiful"
you still are.
how the world would be blessed if
you caressed our hearts with your songs today.
you created love when you sang your songs.
The man who played his magical sitar
and his weeping guitar.
I miss George Harrison, it was 12 years ago today he passed away. He's always in my thoughts, miss you George.
Leena Sharma Aug 2017
d i s t a n c e
the cruel word that grazes through my lips,
what makes my eyes sore when thoughts of it drip through my mind.
thoughts of you and I separated through oceans,
wishing that its tide were your arms so you could pull me back to you.
to your arms that I call my home,
to your eyes were I seek refuge,
to your lips where I tasted love and where you would plant kisses on me
and I'd wait for them to blossom to the future of me and you.

how can I feel so alone
when there's stars hanging over my head?
without a sound, they're here, all the time.
shining on.
but even the stars have their moon,
and the moon, his sun.
they feel celestial all the time.
they sing in harmony, I see it when I look above,
when I have the ocean in my eyes.
no-one can tell.
Leena Sharma Nov 2014
I wish I could fully express myself in one line.
But I can't, I'm,
discombobulated
and when I think I can get it all together,
I break apart once again.
Who would've thought
that reaching out for happiness,
would turn us mad?
yearning for happiness.
Leena Sharma Oct 2013
This is the time of year
that I'm always waiting for.
The golden leaves
decend down to the earth, gracefully
as they spent months watching us overhead.
It's time for them to lay down and look at
the hollow sky and await the rain.
*"This is what their life is like."

— The End —
