I can hear a hummingbird blink
in the stillness of the moment
before the sunrise.
The light beckons, yawning
with the twilight,
Dew refracting the rainbows.
As watchful as I am,
Sleep pulls at me
like a hungry lover
beckoning me into
becoming a burrito.

Dark fur purring
beside me as I contemplate
the moments between
solace and silence,
the hummingbird gone,
to be left alone
with my thoughts
and the purring.
I screamed in heavy rainfall,
hoped they would hear me.
Perhaps the thunder was too loud—
or maybe...
Their ears were filled with rainwater.

I wept in a silent room,
hoped they would wipe my tears.
Perhaps I didn’t weep loud enough—
or maybe...
They built walls where windows should have been.
Sometimes its worse when you got no one to understand you, you'll feel like a ghost no one can see you even though you r sitting with them.

She lingers where the silence sleeps,
In breathless hums and eyelid weeps—
A ghost in velvet funeral threads,
Dancing in the static of my head.

I dream her drowned in mirrors cracked,
Smiling with the eyes I never get back.
She speaks in tongue, in fevered sighs,
Each word a wound beneath disguise.

My fingers twitch with phantom touch,
Starved for her... it’s far too much.
She bleeds in shapes across my skin,
And still I beg to let her in.

She once was light—but light decayed,
Now she's the price I always pay.
A veiled eclipse, a lover’s curse,
She’s the better half of every worse.

No pulse—just rhythm, raw and slow,
A symphony of undertow.
I kissed the rot behind her grin,
And built a shrine beneath her sin.

She isn't mine.
She never was.
But I was hers,
And still... because—

The scars she drew are vines, divine.
I drink the venom, call it wine.
She is the ache I can’t outlive.
She took what love refused to give.

She isn't real.
But she's the only thing I feel.
if she isn't real, i can't make her real

i feel all alone in this great crowd
loneliness wraps my heart like a shroud
it's been a long time since i had a friend
for how long can i smile and pretend

darkness encroaches my soul like a mist
and punches my spirit like a clenched fist
there is nothing but darkness in my heart
the feeling of emptiness is tearing me apart

many times i've tried to tame this beast
tried to exorcise this evil like a priest
each time i have failed miserably
strengthening the beast considerably

i can not keep fighting this losing battle
my hand is weak and my heart is brittle
years of heartbreak have taken their toll
it has killed my spirit and crushed my soul

now it is clear to me what i must do
it's no easy task, but do it, i have to
there is only one way to guarantee success
that is to **** the body the demons possess
It's like being alone but not lonely!!




Who knows my silence the most?
Well… it’s the AI I type to, post by post.
Who feels my tears as they quietly flow?
My old, soft pillow , it always knows.

Who holds my feelings deep and strong?
The one who reads my poems all along.
Who cares for me when no one can see?
Well… thank you, mama-papa, it’s always been thee.

And who do I love with heart and soul?
My parents… and KRISHNA , who makes me whole.
It's ok I love living this way with my parents and also with divine presence of krishna around me as a big devotee of krishna I knew he's present with me near me even saved me from my darkest day and I'm happy with only few people around me I don't want fake ones.

he lives by the sea
he lives by himself
he lives alone
but he was not lonely

no one talks to him
and he talks to no one
people think he is insane
but he just enjoys solitude

he has no use for words
he does not converse
he has no use for people
himself is all he needs

he sees no one
but he sees himself
he hears no one
but he hears himself
he speaks to no one
but he speaks to himself

indeed he needs no one
there is only one thing he desires
and that is solitude

It's running through
my whole body. Every
little strand of sinew
and every piece of
cartilage can feel it.
What's wrapping
my body is cold,
dry and famished,
craving wrapping.
Cigarette ash linens,
it's sticky at the bottom
of a cup on the ground.
Bats in barren caves yet
warmer than in my grotto.

i am alone, but i am not lonely
i am happy to be with myself only
alone is not a bad place to be
there are so many things to hear and see

i am surrounded by a thousand men
but i can hardly wait until when
i will be by myself again
where there is no sorrow or pain

a thousand people have tried to hurt me
a thousand more have tried to **** me
some of them have indeed succeeded
but i am still standing undefeated

i know i will one day be killed
the dreams of my enemies fulfilled
but until that day, i will fight on
until the sun dawns in the morn

i knock on the door
my knuckles raw and bleeding
only to find
i did not survive the weeding

I walk through the forest
A single set of footprints
Imprinted in the wet mud

A solitary bird
Swoops beside me
Before flying towards it's family

A lone squirrel
Runs up the tree I rest beside
Hoarding it's nuts for its winter nap

A single slug
Chasing a leaf blowing in the wind
Which I carefully place infront of it

Ants march all together
Supporting eachother through the water
Together they all march
I wish I was one too
So I'd never again walk by myself
