Lies

I believed everything
thick and thin
every word
every breath
every sigh.
Why?

Maybe you were
just
that
convincing,
manipulative.

I believed everything
all your lies.

bad bad feelings make me feel very very bad.

My Dreams

Dreams* *-> a series of thoughts, images, and sensations occurring in a person's mind during sleep.

My dreams aren't dreams.

They are wishes.

I want them to come true,

I want to put them in action,

but
I'm
scared
sorry
disappointed

Broken?

How many times does a heart
have to be broken
before it is irreparable?

Night

My mind often makes
Irregular circles
In the dark.

Late night thoughts.

Hollow Happiness

Some go in search
thinking they have no other forms
for hollow happiness

yet they are surrounded
by the beauty and "happy"
yet they search
for hollow happiness

when will this
fruitless
unsustainable quest end?
Only sentenced to the worst
a never-ending battle
for hollow happiness

So maybe its time to open your eyes

stop being so blind to this beautiful world

and find real happiness.

Little rant of the day.

Amma

mother
a simple word
complicated meaning

They say poetry is a way to explain the unexplainable
So here I go:

No words
No poem
No gifts

will ever fully show
my gratitude
my love
for you

But every year I try for you

Why?
Because I love you.

My mother
Amma

Amma is the Tamil translation for mother.

Pain

Pain is not
The break of skin
Or a slap that formed a bruise

But it is
The break of heart
Or the deep dent in a soul

Pain comes in a variety of forms, and poetry is one of the ways to express the kind I am talking about here. Pain.
