..heavenly collisions..
-elixir- Sep 2020
I dreamt of the stars colliding
from the intense love within,
as you held my hands
and walked through the
voids in both of us.
We flushed as our hearts
beat in sync.
The stars collided all around us
into red, blue,pink and violet.
The heavenly collisions.
Our words bring on,
the impending collision
as we burst into a million starbursts.
Imprinted it is in me ,
your words that made me see
the colours of the heavens

Sacred Scars
-elixir- Sep 2020
The ashes of your fire that burnt
me adorns my heart,
like a sweet laced with poison.

Among the vultures that lurk
in the shadows of mistrust,
I seek out my missing pieces.

The days that were broken mirrors,
left the scars to last an eternity
as I fixed them with the gold of silence.

The scars heal, yet they remain
to scare away rays in the dark
as my blood runs cold.
The scars that remain speaks my resilience and strength I gathered to come back to life from the pile of ashes.
Never be ashamed of your ashes , the ashes that made you.

changing skies
-elixir- Sep 2020
Why do these skies seem clear,
while they hide rain clouds
that house the impending thunders?
-elixir- Sep 2020
My smile was my flight,
while it was your fright.
The year of ambitions piled on,
as you prayed it begone.
My foundations of hope,
was beyond your tiny scope.
My soul and mind that governed me,
was the threat to your state of monarchy.
The steps I took for higher success,
made your mind filled with abscess.
The thought of my mind's own executions
was beyond the apparent permissions.
The sky's a limitless flight,
unlike your pitiable plight.
I have risen from your filth,
and left you with your myth.
I hope you grow out wings,
and fly away from your strings
of insecurities that taint your soul,
that once to me you sold.
FLY AWAY

Apocalypse
-elixir- Aug 2020
The walk's difficult,
along the strings of trust,
as you almost throw me over
into the chasm of ghosted waters.
My tears assimilate into the salted
waters as the strings almost snap
with each step.

While my heart, your heart,
an apocalypse
stop pushing me over the strings, leave.

<the distorted utopia>
-elixir- Aug 2020
The distorted utopia swallows
me in into the bed of ghosted souls
among the thorns of lies that
pile on with twisted smiles
and words of sugar.

The deserted lands that once saw
joy lay parched with fear of pain.
The permanent is the new flaw,
That drives the winds of pleasure away,
as I hide in my shadows.
FLAWED

..perfumed gardens..
-elixir- Aug 2020
The gardens of perfumed bliss
make me stop and stare as the
fumes run through me,
igniting the odes of passion
that once died in the drought
of the wilted roses in my dreams.
the perfumed musk wraps me as I stop in my tracks
Aug 2020 · 579
Getting Older
-elixir- Aug 2020
The mirage of the naive sunsets
dawns upon me as the debts
of an unknown world
presents the swirled
twists that lured the mature
to manifest its charm to endure
the gnarly waves of emotions,
the winds of commotions,
the thunders of  freedom
for executing the wisdom.

The veils of innocence
revealed my ignorance,
that remained hidden
as I explored the forbidden.
The roots remain nurtured,
for I shouldn't get weathered
in the calamities of the times,
that may wipe off smiles.
Aug 2020 · 396
lost fireflies
-elixir- Aug 2020
The fireflies lie in their graves,
immortalized for their glories
that paved the path for the tired
souls that yearned to live, wired
to the immaculate truth of life
and to take one's soul off the knife.

the deceptive normal
-elixir- Aug 2020
I wish you'd all see the person
in me beneath my insecurities,
layers of locks into my heart.
Why'd you leave me before I speak?
am I not as normal as you?
what is normal if there are many?
Am I crazy or are you blind to see the
normal in me?
I wonder what's missing in me that
forced you to leave.
As you remain blind to the eons
of hope that remains in my heart for you.
As I redefine my normal for the next layer of lock
that encapsulates my heart.
It hurts when your friends and those you held close to your heart ignores you and turn their backs on you. You feel as if your opinions are not normal and you question your sanity.
Aug 2020 · 143
today's last sight
-elixir- Aug 2020
My eyelids close as I see you
tell me lies,laced in sugar that I fell
into for a blotch in time,
For the last time today.

..an abrupt awakening..
-elixir- Aug 2020
The familiar child I was
spanned across the gardens
of Eden with her stocky legs,
And laughed with all her
childish glory unwashed.
As she came and started a
countdown to go into
a deeply long sleep.
"..3,2,1"she said,
as I woke up with a start,
to find my heart beating.
Aug 2020 · 162
Lonely child
-elixir- Aug 2020
The lonely child waits,
For her parents with a lolly
In her hand.
As she can't wait to play with papa
And bake cookies with mama.
She asks why they are asleep
to her uncle.
As he watches their bodies lower
Into the soil with tears that roll
Down his face, as he hugs her close,
to obliviate her future despair

[old habits]
-elixir- Aug 2020
The old habits set in
like the moss on stones,
clinging to my brain.
                                    Waiting to inhale my
                                     remaining soul that I
                                     grew last summer.

until the stars collide
-elixir- Aug 2020
You peer into the universe,
As I see the constellations.
I seek to reach the universe,
As you float in imagination.
I wish you saw past the clouds
That drapes my mind
In your fascination.

..their last ride..
-elixir- Aug 2020
The plane was her last ride,
back to her home
from the deserts of dreams.
The modern plague of her times
drained the last bit out of her.

The ride began as she huddled
her child and spouse close
as if the she knew it was their last
embrace and warmth.
They fell into the indefinite slumber.

The rain lashed it's fury and
winds howled death.
The pilot's last breath was put into
stopping the airborne casket of hopes.
As it skid and crashed them.

Their hopes to live remain immortalized
in their indefinite sleep,
as we mourn their loss,
through the tears of pain that
tear out our folly.
My soul grieves for the families of the plane accident in Kerala. The stranded children make me cry as they try to find their parents. The landslides and floods add up to the worries. Not to mention the covid-19 virus.
The blast in Lebanon was also another terrible mishap, a huge number of people have lost their home and belongings and have become homeless in a matter of seconds. My heart is laden with sadness, is there any hope at this point? where is the world heading to?

.catch me if you can.
-elixir- Aug 2020
Catch me if you can,
Among the innocent clouds
Of the skies of my mind;
Before the looming darkness
Thunders them down
With cages.

legacy
-elixir- Aug 2020
The time will write history
through the lines on my body,
But will you write the story
of our beating hearts,
an untold story?

dose of caffeine
-elixir- Aug 2020
The early dose of caffeine
dons the costume of
fuel amidst the sleepy
blues of oblivion.
As I huddle up
in the balcony
to observe the rain
wash away the nights'
miseries away and shine
the light on my soul and the
dreams that remain a mystery.

...porcelain shells...
-elixir- Jul 2020
The porcelain shell of his,
Hid his vulnerabilities
As he went on to only find
Cracks that expose him
To the storms that
Rage over the cracks.
While the devil plays
His trill with glee.
He then realised the shell wasn't enough for his mind.

blooming lilies
-elixir- Jul 2020
The lilies bloom in these
Murky waters fuelled
By the pristine dreams
Of mine that brings
A smile on the eyes

Lurks in these waters.

..acid drops...
-elixir- Jul 2020
The
      acid
             drips
                     down
                              my
                                   throat
                                              as
                                                   I
                                                      think
                                                                of
                                                                      you
it burns me inside as I turn into ashes, just in time for a rebirth

let's walk
-elixir- Jul 2020
Let's walk in the rain,
and get drenched in pain
of our past as we wash
all that old moss.
Let's fly amidst the fire
hidden in us so dire.
The clouds linger above
as I unfear the lost love.
Jul 2020 · 243
..a breakdown..
-elixir- Jul 2020
The tears keep rolling
down as mind
sabotages my joy.
I drown into the
pools of inky fear
to save what is
left of my mind.
sometimes you just let go of what troubles you and save what is left. Find happiness in that what is left. Sometimes your mind can be your worst enemy that ever existed; who sabotages your every action to be happy.
Jul 2020 · 57
storm of the mind
-elixir- Jul 2020
The words flow as she
waited for him to see
the rainbow at the end
through this storm
of your mind that washes
it's agony over you.

It aches and pains but
they dry up with time.
Yet you take the leap
into the oblivion.

My lashes get heavy
with tears as you
go on letting the storm
make you bleed yourself away.

As I invoke for your bright
permanent and banish
your temporary.

Your mind is your slave,
that ought to lead you
in the storm,not
to banish you.

Heed my words for thyself,
and let the doors of
enlightenment unbolt
for you.
Don't take such a permanent solution for a temporary problem.
Jul 2020 · 389
Dreams

My dreams linger
like a tipsy
adventure of the

your love
and my rays of
sunshine.

smoke and roses
-elixir- Jul 2020
The world lies red
ahead of me.
As the smokes hit
my lungs.
It burns into me as
it dissolves
the air of fear out
into the grave
of roses,red.
Where I plant the
saplings
of love that is to glow.
Jul 2020 · 432
Hush, keep it in!
-elixir- Jul 2020
Hush, coz they'll run
and ruin your fun.
Hide your pain,
fears, tears in vain.
Act your apparent
hide your inherent,
for the better days
and the success rays.
As they buy the flawless
and dream of finesses,
that is missing
and keep longing.
Everyone has their own stories. Understand that not everyone is gonna be flawless. Learn to find them and not the problems. Don't jump to conclusion.
Jul 2020 · 549
..next breath..
-elixir- Jul 2020
The drops of blood
Flows from the
Once cold heart,
That rusted in the
Rain of conflicted
Darkness.
Yet the trauma of
The dark void
Makes her hesitate
To take the next breath,
From cupid's bow.
Jul 2020 · 224
Purge of the mind
-elixir- Jul 2020
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
Jul 2020 · 401
How Long?
-elixir- Jul 2020
How long till your
tongues stop
spitting arrows of
assumptions of
delusional malice
against me?
Does it feel good,
to stoop so low
for your apparent
ego,
that you deceive
yourself into spewing
lores of lies?
These arrows will miss
me, as I sway to
my nature of mind.
And you will go on
for,
how long?
Jul 2020 · 190
..your laughter..
-elixir- Jul 2020
Your laughter trickles
down the glacier
of the cold hills
of time.
Into the
earthy elixir of
life, merging the
bespoke elements of life
I love observing nature

Show of Honour
-elixir- Jul 2020
Time slips away,
as you prepare my
farewell;
And I drown into
the ocean of thoughts,
unprepared, alone
as I gnaw at my cage
relentless,
as the pomp
is heard outside.
The wings cut off and
freedom seized for
the shallow prestige
of the vultures.
The words given, now
wash away with
the water,
as I desperately try to
find it,
and identity and faces
changed for the
benefit of some.
The boneless spectators,
watch as I am
made to dance,
in the show of Honour.
As I become "dignified".
Jul 2020 · 151
Move On
-elixir- Jul 2020
The petals fall off
as I gather
the fallen petals
of my hope
and swoon to the
beat  of my
heart, as I shower
in the rain,
the woes of the
hopes now
tranquil, amidst the
thunder.
To seek the distinct
unknown,
my heart desires.
Amidst the cracks
in the reflection
of my memories.
Sometimes the only way to find peace is to move on and leave the problems behind
Jul 2020 · 352
Cascading emotions
-elixir- Jul 2020
Observe my emotions,
as they cascade in motion,
contrary to the notions
of the cultural potion.

As it changes like seasons,
and you call it treason
against the potion demons
who never won.
The emotions misunderstood lay buried in the conventional society norms
Jul 2020 · 263
The monologue for the mind
-elixir- Jul 2020
Become the beast,
look in the mirror,
stop hiding,
observe the splinters
of the lies burrowed within,
embrace the bitter pain,
as you accept the hypocrisy
of the lies, listen to the
howls of your hunger
for the vicious revenge,
as you lead the pack,
of the hidden fire in
your soul,
livid.
Let the beast strengthen your soul
Jul 2020 · 284
RED
-elixir- Jul 2020
RED
Red like the regret,
lying around as ashes
from the blaze of the
fire that caught up
in your lies, deceit.

Red as the sky bleeds
her despair raw,
as the wound deepens,
into her veins.

Red like the memories,
spilled like the blood
of the innocent.

Red as the regret
consumes the sanity
away from the sane.
Jul 2020 · 186
FOUR WALLS
-elixir- Jul 2020
The conversations go on,
With the four walls,
As it dampens the silence
Of the isolated winds,
As I dive into them.
How long till it ends or just begins?
Jul 2020 · 313
THE DARK
-elixir- Jul 2020
As the rain falls
I seek in the halls,
for the familiar thunder
that took me under
under the magic
of the dark logic.
Through the dark streets
you walk with treats
for my shaded soul,
as you whisper slow,
"do I terrify you?"
as I grin through
these healed wounds.
Jun 2020 · 538
One more time
-elixir- Jun 2020
The ocean ahead of me,
with its beasts,
have my knees shaking,
as I try to dive again,
and tame the fear
of oblivion,
One more time.
Jun 2020 · 378
Happenings
-elixir- Jun 2020
Fatalities turned rampant,
Felonies a usual.
Voices unheard,
Victims lay fallen.
The hypocrisy unfolds,
They hide from their lies.
Affluent cocooned in bubbles,
Anguish spread in commons.
Tough we ought to be as
Time's run out

Or is it?
Jun 2020 · 822
Don't wake me up,
-elixir- Jun 2020
The salted whispers
Run through me,
As I dream of the
Inevitable gore,
Of my fears.
That flood
My mind.
Dreams strengthen the conscious
Jun 2020 · 192
Thunderstorm
-elixir- Jun 2020
The tears and shower blend,
while the thoughts I  amend,
and the deafening thunders
dampens the whimpers
of the stinging wounds,
in my heart abound,
as I drown
in the
woe
some wounds take longer to heal than others or maybe never
Jun 2020 · 266
The light I seek for
-elixir- Jun 2020
I lay in the embrace
Of the grass,
As my heart
Leaps euphoric,
To absorb the light,
The celestial glory,
From the heavenly
abode of stars,
Above me, in the sky.
I wanna dance in the light with the brightest star.
Jun 2020 · 446
Ode to now
-elixir- Jun 2020
Ring my bells,
When the cells
Of the heavenly abode
Dispels the ode
Of the dark.
I remain embedded
In this tarnished red,
As I tear down the grey walls
And paint it a violet haul.
Like this mind that's hidden,
For thy made it forbidden,
For this aura bewilders you,
And you cowardly view
The new as a symbol
Of destruction of all.
Jun 2020 · 96
As I close my eyes,
-elixir- Jun 2020
My eyes swell,
As I dwell,
Upon my fears
With shears,
To cease the shivers
That flow in rivers
Of untold stories,
Of hidden glories
Jun 2020 · 151
The lie of the voices
-elixir- Jun 2020
The road to your nirvana
lays somewhere ahead,
where the skies
triumph.
The road fills me with
voices, as I struggle
to walk.
The wanting to finish and
cease floods my mind
as I forget the road
ahead.
I jump with no thought,
into nothingness, void.
As I get stuck in the
web of lies of the voices.
Leaving behind
memories to impale
the traumatized kin.
suicide is not a solution to anything.
Jun 2020 · 833
The fruits of the Mundane
-elixir- Jun 2020
The sun blares upon me,
as I gather my fruits
from the tree of life.
My body aches and
perspires and I go on,
picking them for my future.
The gloom of this mundane,
sets into my mind,
as I toil in the heat.
I yearn for the rain,
to come and cleanse
me of this toil
and let me enjoy,
the fruits.
we go about gathering things all our life yet don't feel satisfied.
Jun 2020 · 60
paint it
-elixir- Jun 2020
Paint it,
my blank canvas
of life, before the sun
rises again and burns us down again.
Let it dry before it rains and ruins our painting.
