Poems

Tanya Chaudhary Jan 2015
Someone, somewhere believes that they love someone in the same way I love you.
Someone, somewhere is watching their first movie together & are waiting in the queue.
Someone, somewhere is celebrating their first moment of holding hands.
Someone, somewhere is politely accepting the other’s whims and commands.  
Someone, somewhere is experiencing the rush of many butterflies twiddling in their stomach.
Someone, somewhere is kissed for the first time & is profoundly dumbstruck.
Someone, somewhere is being captivated by their thrilling dreams.
Someone, somewhere is waking up to screams.
Someone, somewhere is sharing their last kiss with the thought of no longer being together.
Someone, somewhere is wrapping their anniversary gift to spend many more years forever.
Someone, somewhere is watching an extraordinary sunset with no one by their side.
Someone, somewhere is cracking up, laughing on the stupid antics of a child.
Someone, somewhere is caught between falling in love with themselves and wishing they were someone else.
Someone, somewhere is packing their bags to see the world with someone else.
Someone, somewhere is dancing to ecstasy to the first text message of their crush.
Someone, somewhere is whispering sweet nothing’s to someone else. Someone, somewhere just blushed.
Someone, somewhere is staring at the peaceful face of the person sleeping by their side.
Someone, somewhere is awake the whole night to just watch this.
Someone, somewhere is pondering on the worth of their eyes, if it wasn't to see this.
Someone, somewhere is bleeding blank sheets, penning words that fail them.
Someone, somewhere just opened their eyes to a new landscape, a new sun.
Someone, somewhere is saying a new hello. Someone, somewhere is bidding an old goodbye.
Someone, somewhere is killing their flesh, their soul is with someone else.
Someone, somewhere is desperately wishing, craving with every petal of a red rose they throw, or tearing their eyelashes and renouncing it in the air, crossing the fingers of their left hand, then their right hand or stargazing on a starless night in a hope that a star will fall and they can pray for their some-one.
Someone, somewhere thinks they love someone else exactly like I love you.
*Someone, somewhere is entirely wrong.

Somewhere there is a nurse putting clean sheets on what was once someone's death bed. Somewhere there is a police officer laying awake at two in the morning contemplating breaking his thumbs so he won't have to pull another trigger. Somewhere there is a body bag taking the shape of a person. Somewhere a warden has accidentally called a prisoner by their first name. Somewhere there is a man getting ready to pay for his glass of whiskey, his '1 year' AA token falls out of his wallet onto the bar counter. Somewhere the glass is completely empty, somewhere it's overflowing. Somewhere a therapist sitting in an empty session reading the local newspaper's obituary section wondering what she could've done. Somewhere a bullet has fallen in love with a heart, giving a whole new meaning to the 'kiss of death'. Somewhere the girl that never speaks is raising her hand but immediately putting it back down after the sound of her classmates' laughter bounces back and forth from the back of her mind to the front. Somewhere the silence at the dinner table is making a dent in a child's suit of armor. Somewhere a 70 year old man starts skipping instead of walking, he stops taking his medication. Somewhere there is a mother too drunk to sign her daughter's permission slip. Somewhere a man has stolen all of the flowers from a grave, so he can somehow feel as though he's  being missed. Somewhere a child is asked what she wants to be when she grows up, she realizes ''myself'' isn't a good enough answer. Somewhere a mirror has been mistaken for a stranger. Somewhere someone is being loved by another person the only way they know how to love; whether it's through kisses, bruises, sleeping too closely to the other, or fifteen missed calls. Somewhere a man is falling in love with the automated voice inside of a voice mail because at least she will listen to him. Somewhere a 911 operator is walking into her house, hearing screams that aren't actually there. Somewhere these short stories are being broadcasted on the news,  printed in the paper, whispered to a friend, or rotting in the back of someone's head. Somewhere I am whispering all of these things to a silent room full of people, none of them look up.
I swear that I gotta get out here, go somewhere, anywhere, but I got nowhere to go. Everywhere those roads go, that I don't know, they got to lead somewhere, anywhere, but here. Don't go there, there is where everything has already happened. Been there. Nowhere is such a lonely place, I feel hopeless. It's unreal that you came to see me. Unlikely as it may be. But I'm certainly sad, that you had found me
Full-bore, pedal to the ******* floor, speeding right the **** past the road that nowhere goes. Is a road, It goes straight the **** to anywhere, anywhere you want, to end up somewhere that's not here or there, it will even lead you to everywhere, even to somewhere where you feel you belong. Not a place like nowhere, that feels totally wrong, if ya want to go everywhere, that too many places to go, it will just string you along. Or else If you just want some space, to get away, elsewhere is a good place. If you're in elsewhere, get out, get a map, find somewhere else besides elsewhere to go, or else where you go you will just be somewhere else, and still looking for somewhere to go. So follow your map, don't fall for the trap, cause elsewhere don't care that you live in despair and now you lost, seeking anywhere and everywhere to go, but the road to nowhere is the only way, to find some road somewhere, to go somewhere, or else ya gonna be back in elsewhere or just somewhere else, Now in total despair, to someone's else it may not be that unfair, but you got lost yourself and no one else ******* cares.
Somewhere is near here, but it's also close to nowhere. Here is not where you want to be, it feels like nowhere. Somewhere is where it's at. At least you're somewhere. But over there, where here used to be, but where is it, It's s not here, or even over there. It could be anywhere, I've looked ******* everywhere but nowhere to be found. It could be near enough, It could even be here, there or anywhere. It's got to be somewhere, but it's nowhere to be. So where do we go from here. Cause somewhere is out there somewhere, but those roads lead you to somewhere else. Now you just feel your stuck here but it's all good, it's ok, it's just ******* alright you never had to leave, because at least you're here, and here has always been somewhere to be, you're always somewhere, like right here, so why not enjoy just being here, here is so near, you're already there, Somewhere, where you belong, because If you not here somewhere, then you are just on you way to somewhere else, Looking somewhere else for somewhere to be.
Freestyle and word play all the way.
