I search for something
Standing under the rain,
Waiting for an epiphany.
I wrote trial above because it is my first haiku and it IS a trial of sorts. I want someone to tell me it this can be considered as a Haiku :P
His eyes:
Dark as night sky
Bright as stars.
I don't have

a heartless soul,

a fearless mind,

But there's something

Which will always be mine.


Locked up in a dark place

Deep inside

The labyrinth of my mind

There lies my secret

And you have forever been blind

Not to see what I hide.


I blind you more

With my secret illusions

But my heart gets sore

Because it's my delusion

That I will be content

By hiding everything.


The letters of secrets

Fly out of the box

Hovering over my head

Hovering around me

Burying me deep into the ground.


I took hold of my secrets

But now it takes hold of me

And climbs on my back

To stay forever with me.



Your eyes delve into mine,

Finding answers ,

My secret is my history

Implanted in my heart

I'm sorry I can't tell you

Something which is beloved to me.



But sometimes

Wounds are opened again

And it starts to bleed out

The poisonous blood that didn't drain

Out of your soul,

Trapped inside,

Gulping all your tranquility.



I have to be rigid,

But it's hard

I have to be strong,

But I'm not

I have to keep a secret,

But I'm not God.



There's no point in hiding now

I give all my secrets

And you give all your love

Or else I would be buried beneath

Under all the secrets

That I've always kept with me.



But it's time now

To give up all I had,

To give up my history

And to solve the mystery

Which entangled your mind



Now the answers are with you

The answer is my secret

Which I just told you.
People won't understand this, I think.
The life I've lived
Has been a blissful sin
The blessings of God
Have always been an evil grin.
I don't know what he wants
I don't know if he's even there
I don't know if I believe
As the non-believers are rare.

I belong to the dummy group,
A group following one path
But someday I will break through
The waters of this gloomy bath
Which is told to free us
From the sins we've committed
And get us out of this fuss
But my thoughts about it are limited.

I don't know what I believe in
But I know I believe in myself
And trust my own decisions
That would lead me itself
To another track of life
Different from the one
I don't belong to.
I don't know if I believe in God, but I don't choose to go in a religious path.
If you find me laughing
Then know I'm sad
My laughter is an illusion
As I've always hidden the sadness I've had
Inside my heart.

If you find me smiling,
Then know I'm depressed
That I just want you to see me happy
That I just want you know
That my life is not that gloomy.

If you see me cry,
Then know that I want to
Express my emotions to you
How I feel every time
And then burst it all out for once in a while.

If you even understand me
Then talk to me like you did
The first day we met
When you hid
Your true self so that you don't get
People running away from you.

If you see my eyes crinkle
Then know that I'm really happy
Like I was a few weeks back
When you didn't show your true self
When you didn't lack
The potential to be a true friend.

All I want to say is
If you meet me again,
It would be a bliss
That you know me better.
This poem is just describing my complicated thoughts.
Everybody leaves,
Everybody does
I know I would too
But then I would heave
The world above above my head
And then I would sieve
My goodness and close my eyes
And forever sleep in my bed.

Everybody leaves,
Everybody does
Six years back
When I was a little kid
He left me
In the mid
Of an endless road
Which is blinded by thick mist.
He loved me
And I know that
Because he left me
And that's when I knew
That everybody leaves.


Everybody leaves,
Everybody does
Six years back,
She was the one with springs on feet
Her eyes shining
So that she could see tomorrow
Her eyes glistening
So that she could see the next dawn
Tearing through the fog
Through the clouds
That always blinded me
To see
What it really hides behind it
The heaven of the prettiest stars
Stars of today
Who bring tears in our eyes
And she joined them too.

Everybody leaves,
Everybody does
An year back
I had a friend
She still talks to me
But now,
There are letters I have to send.

Like a shard of glass
My fingers stab
Typing each letter, each word
Telling her
How much I miss her
But each hit turns into a joke
My heart misses
To tell myself
Even if I stab anymore,
My feeling won't go away with it.


Like a piece of shard
I pierce my thoughts
Of a happy moment
Because all my moments are gone
With everyone who left
All moments are gone
With everyone who loved
All moments are gone
With everyone who cared
All moments are gone
With everyone who made me smile
And my smile, battling the sunshine
Everything was gone
When everybody left.
So nowadays I feel a bit lonely because there's a big void formed in my life some people left me a long time ago. Well, that's just my misery.
Do faces matter?
I don't know.

We were born,
Without a face
In this world,
And joined a big race
Race of the kind
Where the face is what we take
And show the world
What we can make.

Your beauty, your shine
Is not all you ever had
Your face is behind
The achievements you may have.

Do faces still matter?

It's not about your beauty,
It's not how you smile
It's about how you show your face,
The face on your file.

Do faces matter?
I think they do.

A unique curve of your face
Is given a unique name
A name which recognizes you,
A name which gives you fame.

But what's the gain
When we're all going to die?
Die with a name,
With your chest burning with fire
And with you, your name
Will stop to respire.

Do faces matter?
I don't think so.

Your smile matters
That's what I know
You will go and with you,
The name on everyone's lips will die.

We'll face oblivion
We'll face it, I don't know why
That's why I tell
Not to live a lie
Because all that matters
Is how your face shines
When you finally sleep
*Sleep with a smile.
We all have a unique face, a unique identity. Does it really matter? Is it much more important than our happiness? Should we let it hinder our happiness? I don't know the answer to your questions, because that's what you have to figure out. It's up to you how you want your face to be like.
I am bound by heavy chains,
Chains of broken swings
The dark room I am in,
Broke my healthy wings.
It has clasped me
In its fierce claws
And now I can't see
Even if there are anymore laws.

The heaviness,
Oh, it's hard to bear
I try choking my breath
But I promised
I will take care,
I won't wreak the life I'll miss
Even if someone already did.

I fall on my knees,
Giving up after
All the pain I felt
And had to bear
While struggling in vain
For something,
But no one cares.

Just then,
A speck of light
Creeps through a crack
The dusty ray,
Falls on my feet, now slack
Calling me by my name
Trying to lift me up,
From this gloomy game.

Taking the warm hand,
I get up with high hopes
But then I realise
I am bound by ropes
Of the tight and heavy chains.

The warmth tells me
Not to stop,
"But I can't move," I say.
"Don't lose hope,
Please come this way."

Clasping his hand,
I move forward
Wishing I could elope
With him from this place
And I won't give up,
If I'm still in this race
I would walk faster,
Increasing my pace.

Suddenly, the chains crack,
Its cracking lullaby
Echoes in this hollow rack.

My feet lift,
Taking a bigger step,
And they rift
The ground that kept
My strength away from me
It's my turn now
To make marks on it
And I somehow
Stab my feet in it
Making it feel the pain I felt
When I was known to be a misfit.

The warmth of his hands,
Supporting when I fall
The warmth of his hand
Bringing me up
When I crawl.

Another step I take,
Not my biggest mistake
Because then,
The chains finally break.

I look up at the sky,
At the dancing auroras
Waving me goodbye,
Singing their fake silent lullaby.

Another step forward,
And my heart will prance
Under the lovely light,
My feet will dance,
Embracing me in
A whole new trance,

*Embracing me in
A whole new trance.
A gamut of of tears
Surrounds our life
It hovers around us
All the time.

The tears of joy
Jump out
When we laugh
For a good reason
When our lips
Refused to take time off
And make a grip
On the opposite corner of your face,
Because someone has made you laugh
And has forever traced
The happiness in your heart.

The tears of pain
When you get hurt
And you tried a lot in vain
To be careful not to get bruises
But it hurts you so much
That your world fuses
Like a worn out bulb.

The tears of sadness
Blurring your vision
Taking you to a wrong path
And your mind has envisioned
That your life does not exist anymore
That you are not important
And you abhor
That you're still living.

Tears of death,
A complete mixture
Of sadness and joy
When your thoughts admixture
All your moments you enjoyed
With all the other moments
That a life could have.
"Tears are words a heart can't say*
Your handwriting.
The way you walk.
Which songs you sing.

It's all giving you away.
Everything you do shows your hand.
Everything is a self portrait.
Everything is a diary.
