Dull to many, yet a gateway to my imagination.
Frustrating to some, yet a melody that soothes my soul.
Overlooked by most, yet a divine gift I embrace without hesitation.
Seen as wasted time, yet a rhythm that dances with my heart.

It pulls me into unseen worlds.
Paints stories upon my mind.
Whispers poetry to my soul.
Sings in harmony with my heart.
Lets moments drift like waves kissing the shore.

A cool breeze on a scorching noon.
A refuge in the midst of a storm.
A companion on the endless journey of life.

Waiting isn’t emptiness,it’s space for dreams to bloom.
Waiting isn’t an interruption,it’s an invitation.
Waiting isn’t a pause, it’s a rhythm that time composes.
Waiting isn’t a chore,it’s a dance of patience.
What of relationships that go sour
Let go I suppose
But what if I can’t?
What if I want to mend?
Not throw people away
Like a workman, keep at it
Like a tailor, **** torn clothes
Like a cobbler, sew and patch
Mix binding glue. Fix. Fix. Fix

My Kintsugi


So, I keep searching for what is good
The glass half full
Reasons to hold on
Justify
Belie
I collect
Broken pieces of myself
Shreds of hearts and memories
Of people and pain
Though things may never be the same again

Imperfections. Transience.
Life. Resilience
Whatever

May be one day
I’ll move on. Be stronger.

With life, I’ll flow
May be one day
I’ll learn the art of letting go
Beginning: A story started from the day I reached my mothers womb,
Suffering and pain I will carry till my tomb.
Playful childhood naughtiness,
Which did bring my mother little happiness.
Same naughtiness cannot be carried to adulthood,
As will definitely bring tremors in her mood.
For all misbehavior, by her, there will be lot o abuse,
Trust me those are all love in disguise.

Childhood: I have filled her world with sorrow’s
My words would’ve pierced her heart as arrows.
I, a selfish boy with no guidance,
Filled with this worldly nuisance.
Lost my youth in various atrocities,
Roaming around with brats around cities.
Little did she know her child’s future,
Will always carry this societal fracture.

Adolescence: A romantic stage of play,
My heart got slayed.
In a world of feminism,
Where I wished to see womanism.
All their wit with sweet talk,
Will lead you to a broken heart, in life’s walk.
The one I truly loved, didn’t love me, in my teen,
The one that loved me, found its way in the wedding.

Adulthood: The saddest day when I lost my father,
Who was always correcting me, for my better future.
As he never wanted me to be another him,
Making me stronger was his only aim.
It give me chills to my bone of his pain and suffering,
Watching and standing like a stone, not knowing.
A bell ringing that it is my time to prepare and to shine,
To fight life’s battle, armor up for my life tasks, not to whine.

Corporate: Filled with competition, greed & betrayal are ways of life,
In this godforsaken world of strife.
Corporates with fake promises,
Forgetting all that they work, build and save, one day dies.
Corporate *******, snakes and vultures,
Spreading venom & feeding upon one's weakness’.
Countless professional deaths & murders,
By calling us team, family and as friends.

Lesson: In a cruel world, teach thy kids how to fight,
For survival and for their future to be bright.
Live life to the fullest, help needy but don’t expect,
Nothing from anyone, whole life will be perfect.
It is a lesson from her,
And she is the greatest in my life, my mother.
My parents blessings and love has become my lifeline,
Which I will never let go in vain…

Conclusion: Lucky are the ones whose mothers starve,
To ensure her portions, children can have.
My mothers prayers to all the gods with her weeping,
for protecting me from evil and to continue guarding.
Her cries and prayers was heard,
By the great gods she trusted for her ward.
The only person who suffers all,
It was her, whose pain was to see my survival.

Once the candle wax melts
and pastry starts to crumble
and worn out is the belt
& the thunder loses its rumble,
white daisies are all trampled
when Life's no longer a jungle.

The light of your beautiful eyes
extinguishes as the candle dies,
and the pain I have always held inside
will suddenly burn and come alive,
And all I touch will sear and fry
My Angel, I too now have died.
Forgive the failings of the parent, the flaws of our design.
Only if we accept our nature can we enjoy what's left of our time.

The poison left in our blood, corrosion of the self,
pain accepted as a norm, obligations on no one else.
They say the mind is the strongest prison,
walls of darkness and chasms within them,
and a fear that pain came first because pain comes always,
and as we peep out into the empty hallways
we see in their endless doors
an infinite capacity for more
and why would any weary traveller
step out into such foreboding
places to explore?

At first the poison seems for life. It runs in our blood and rains from the heights.
But nothing is without cost and the lie must be maintained.
We follow the orders held with us from the day we got our name.
But the thicker the poison and the hotter it burns, the stronger the antidote and the more we can learn.

Pain becomes progress,
a diabolical fuel,
a tool heavy to swing,
but one that will bring
greater transformation
and let's turn bad memories
into useful information.
About: How suffering and hardship gives us the knowledge to make the world a better place.

It's too late
Though I'm supposed to love you
I permeate with hate
the weight of what you've done to me
turns feelings into fate

Nothing to fear but fears own stab.
The dread of despair to make its grab.
The heart fills and there is no respite
but the healing of time and to cry a bit.

To stay away and avoid at all cost.
To prevent the discomfort of equilibrium all lost.
All one has to do is plan up a plot.
To schedule and scheme up the ok or not
Kept to behold the dread of all dread
The All too encompassing Should in its stead.

But soon to discover an irony to set its tone to rise.
As the Should takes on a life of its own ends
The Tyranny of The Shoulds really ought to be banned
The 'Benevolent' perhaps to take up its stand.

In my eyes you could see—
for every wound, salt was the remedy.
Forced to silence those thoughts that haven't been heard,
beating me down—it was absurd.

I  hear your shouts
And his screams
I hear his stammered apologizes
And frantic denial
What he did wasn't even wrong
He's just a boy
And you're a man
Why don't you understand
Your job is to help and not scream
What the actual yourself my Dadck do you mean?
You're a father
Not a Sargent
Why are you going off again
Hitting is not disciple
Stop unless you want him to grow up accepting it
So in his room when I hear his muffled screams
I wish for a time machine
To stop you from meeting mom
And save us from our inevitable fall
Your everything ends with our hurt
I love you
But your the fcking worst
~
Seriously
When it's said
some words can haunt & pierce
deeper, sharper and more brutal than a blade
~
the pallid blood flows 24/7 from your vein
driving your mind to madness to pain.
~~
That cut, Gothic & red
an open, hemorrhagic gate
never heals, never fades.
And the pain
it will remain
it will remain
~
Always
&
Forever
&
Permanently

The end.
