you push down on me
you emit your pressure on me
It pushes me down yet i love it
because its yours
you don't even know your effects on me
the pain to know you'll never feel the same
but the pressure wont let me leave
it forces me to look at your life go by
without me being part of it
this pressure i have grown accustomed to
it has become my friend now
and as you lose your grip on this pressure
i retain mine

Our rope is worn,
and soon we will each be left alone;
only ghosts of what we had once been.

Perhaps it was my pride and your
inability to communicate anything
beyond the objective that stifled
our flame and brought end to our name;

Perhaps we are both to blame.
Lately, I've had this sensation of losing touch with my body. I feel disconnected and estranged from it, more and more frequently. The face that looks me back in the mirror is always alarming.

The unmistakable sound of metal carving through ice,
Armored gladiators move swiftly
Wielding wooden weapons with curved blades
As they chase a hard black disc.
Bodies slam into the boards,
The boisterous crowd masks the sounds of cracking bones.
One team scores, then the other.
The crowd cheers, and then they boo.
Two competitors exchange words,
Then fists.

Seconds tick off the clock,
Before they know it the game draws to a close.
Sweat drips from every pore,
Steam rises from the warriors' helmets.
The game has not yet been decided,
So extra time is needed.
The purest form of competition,
The first to score wins.
A skater breaks away from the defense.
He shoots, he scores, he goes home and waits for the chance to play again.
My first poem. Feedback is very welcome!

As I slip into a deep sleep,
Memories of him creep into me.
I shake in my bed grabbing at the place he used to lay.
I want to open my eyes to look for him,
But I know the outcome,
I do not want to see.
I miss the way I would fall asleep to the sound of his heavy breathing;
I miss when I could turn over at 2am and kiss his neck and his back.
He is gone,
I am here alone, walking the paths meant for two.
Every smile I see I think of you.
As I sit in the cafe he had shown me months before,
A single tear rolls down my dry skin.
His mind is now a fairground ride-I wonder if he thinks of me.
I grab the sweater he gave to me,
And slip back into a state of euphoria.
I miss him.
For you, I love you, and miss you.

Love is pure, love is great
But how it is when one have failed
Yes, they said it's bitter-sweet
But why I feel a sugar guilt.

Now I know what I feel,
It is true that love is here
But when he knew what I did there
He chose to left without a tell.

It's funny.
How your bed can be your best friend or your worst enemy
How it contains your worst nightmares and most splendid dreams
And how awful it is.
That people don't know how you feel
when you wake up and you still think the demons are real

Morning after morning I'm in fear when I wake
Trying to calm down fearing what it will take
and when I look back on what i did while I slept
I shake.

Because I cannot trust myself
While I am asleep.

It's simple, we're all just sinners.

And I, as the worst of all, laugh at the idea there might be no heaven...
When will I understand,
And learn to live and work,
Dear school will you teach me,
In these textbooks I lurk.

While Rosa Parks sat still,
And Fleming found penicillin,
Remember how great they are?
Raise our standards, cross the bar!

Studying twenty-four hours a day,
All work and no play,
Why do we do this only for marks,
There is knowledge, in the dark.

All you make us do,
Is derive this and that,
In the future in my cubicle,
I'll being having पराँठे to get fat.

These egotistical teachers,
They make me cry,
All I hear in the staff room,
Is पुलाव and दाल fry.

You go on with the system,
You go on with the lies,
Why don't you let us think!
Even we have minds.

These benzene rings and oxidation states,
Will never help me with taxes,
Theoretical imaginary waves & motions,
Make me a complete राक्षस!

Five thousand equations to integrate,
But all we do is differentiate,
This religion and that religion,
"It's all in my fate!"

Why don't we do something,
For the ever growing community,
Yes, the same society,
That doesn't let us break free.

Do you ever wonder,
Why our country is so poor,
There's a shortage of lawmakers,
And the government is run by actors.

My whole degree will be,
A complete joke,
No matter how much I study,
I'm just the "fresher" bloke.

I got ninety-seven percent,
In the prestigious class twelve,
Yet my IQ is,
As much as a बैल!

Why do you think eveyone is stupid,
And engineers smart,
I think studying Humanities,
Is a work of art.

These teachers think I'm obnoxious,
Just because I don't talk,
One day I'll prove something,
And on their face I'll walk.

I can't memorize these problems,
Don't forget, I too have a brain,
It isn't a big harddisk,
But at least, it isn't a grain.
