The unpredictable hour of ebony arrives.
No choice have I but to sustain my absence from my affairs
Till the vastly capricious moment of inconvenience fades.

i am an owl in the night
wide awake and unseen
caressing yesterday
cursing your daybreak beam.

stiffened by a promise
of watching over you from afar
wipe the tears in my eyes
so that i may learn to fly.

My love for you**
Is greater than any love
There is

A little light leaks through
well-kept shades,
illuminating glitters and ghosts
of smoke from the incense.
The scent is strong,
good sticks from the temple
and it fills any missing spaces
in this cluttered room.
Saraswati's sitar is playing lullabies
that wake my conscience.
My eyes are closed
but I can see the color of your kiss.
And the island I forget to escape to
is floating in the distance,
waiting for us.

Somewhere how it makes me so numb.
Is this a sign of being dumb.
Maybe, this is the tempting situation
Which razed my relations
Those days were sweet
With their warm breathe
A thirst for love in their eyes, looking at me.
As a kid eagerly waits for fruit from the tree
Somewhere how it makes me so numb
Is this a sign of being dumb
This empty soul needed to cry.
Which seems tough how hard i try.
Why i am senseless
Is this feeling is endless?
They were too kind
But understood my dark mind
Finally, everyone left me alone
With their deep unloved tone.

If it didn't harm anyone,
I'd ask him for a new one.
I'd pack light and disappear.
If it meant I never had to hear
the voices in my head
that tell me to leave
every
single
day
I'd be ready in fifteen minutes.

I now see why people call it
"falling in love",
because you don't just trip,
you can't stand up after
and dust the dirt and blood off of your knees
like nothing ever happened
if the one you are falling for you
doesn't catch you
you can't patch it up with band-aids
and hydrogen peroxide
it's not a little trip
it's an enormous, mountain high fall
and if you don't land just right
you wind up with a broken heart
instead of broken bones
