I ooze despair
I leak despiration
it pools at my feet
warns others of the misery
till me soal does leave
my lifeless shell
my sagging skin

I watch you
you leave slowly
inching away
does guilt wrap you?
tether you still
close to me
the pool does drift you anyway
and away you go.
I get us each one more scoop of ice cream.
You’re full but try to eat it anyway.

It’s things like this I’ll miss,
you shoveling in food simply because
it’s the last thing we’ll eat together.

As I’m shutting the car door,
my mind screams for me to stop.

I scoop out the thought and leave it on the pavement—
along with my fears that you won’t come back.

All I can do now is trust that God will protect you,
as my heart is scooped, clean out of my chest.
Another poem about my best friend, 2 years will fly by... right?
3 years in the making:

3 years you’ve cared for me
I hope I did the same for you

3 years you made me laugh
With our dumb jokes and antics

3 years I’ve thought of you
When seeing cottage cheese clouds

3 years I’ve called you
When I had something important to say, good or bad

3 years you made amazing
Simply with your presence

3 years you’ve tried to pay for me
And I’ve stubbornly refused

3 years I’ve watched you
Grow up into a man

3 years you showed me
What the love of God looks like, unconditional and unfailing

3 years of goofy photos
That I will never delete

3 years that you and I have made millions of mistakes
And I wouldn’t change a single one

Because my favorite moments comprise those 3 years

And I would wait another 3 for just 1 more
My best friend of 3 years is leaving to share the love of God in another state, I couldn't be more proud

I tell them fake stories based on my real emotions
I reach out but my mind and body are frozen
So instead I become who people want me to be
Coz all I ever wanted was for someone to hold me

Eye blink, So quick!
I lost the count!
Hit twenty three and still in doubt
About how it all came out
Sick of all the what ifs that eat my mind
But one thing I'm thankful for is my person that I found

Amid the chaos and the pain
Her words can light up a flame
Of hope and stop the blame
For everything again and again
Likewise her name she gives faith
That I'm the one to decide my fate
"Don't be lame it's never that late"

Did I find my soulmate?

Our wonderland was never coloured and pink
It's all shades and splattered ink
Of Unspoken words that I'm writing
About you as I'm hiding
Not my truth or who I am
Just a raw thought at 3 am

Just know you’re the closest to my heart
Even if someday we'll grow apart

Yes, She’s the best Mate!

They do not chase, they do not shout,
Their luv is quiet, strong, devout.
No masks to wear, no games to play,
They give, nd gently walk away.

They feel da world wid open skin,
Their softness kept tucked deep within.
Not made for crowds or clever shows,
They bloom where fewer flowers grow.

They speak in truths, not practiced lines,
Nd read da space between da signs.
But in a world that runs from real,
Such hearts are hard for some to feel.

They’re not da flame that blinds da eyes,
But like da moon in patient skies
They glow for those who wait, not rush,
For those who stay when all grows hush.

They hold your hand when words fall short,
They stay when silence gives no sport.
But when luv feeds on fast nd loud,
Da gentle fade behind da crowd.

They give da kind that doesn't bend,
Not just a lover, but a friend.
Yet those who seek da easy thrill
May miss da hearts that luv until.

Nd so they sit wid dreams half-said,
Wid books unopened by their bed.
Not bitter, no… bt quietly worn,
By all da ways they've been forlorn.

But oh… if luv were brave nd wise,
It'd look not in da brightest eyes,
But in da hearts that always knew
What luv could be, if luv were true.

So let them walk alone awhile,
Wid softest strength nd gentlest smile.
For one day luv may turn its head
nd see da ones it left unfed.

शब्द वापरून वाक्य बनवली जातात,
वाक्य वापरून मनातील भाव मांडले जातात.
एकेकाळी मी ज्यांच्याशी तासंतास बोलायचो,
ते आजकाल फक्त कामासाठी phone करतात.

Priority नाही आहे मी कोणाची,
फक्त एक option म्हणून उरलोय आता.
आयुष्याच्या झाडाची टवटवीत फुलं
कोमेजलेली दिसतात येताजाता.

आजकाल काही share केलं जात नाही,
WhatsApp ग्रुप्सला कधी add केलं जात नाही.
लोक भरपूर आहेत आजूबाजूला –
मित्र तर नाहीत, पण आठवणी उरल्यात काही.

मला मान्य आहे की मी आहे एक failure,
नाही जमल्या मला काही गोष्टी करायला.
आयुष्याच्या या सांडलेल्या कचऱ्याला
मला एकट्यालाच लागेल भरायला.
ही कविता १३ नोव्हेंबर २०२२ रोजी लिहिलेली आहे
