Telling myself lies,
With my smile as a disguise,
Through tears in my eyes,
I hope that it would suffice,
Until my heart turns to ice.

~

Completely honest,
I deceive my empty heart,
That it is now filled.

~

White lies fall like snow,
In this tundra of a home.
Snow now piles on high.
I tell myself I’m just fine,
Ignoring planks in my eye.

~

I’ve been honest right?
About my lies and deceit.
Putrid honesty.
Tanka, haiku, freestyle, and lies

A certain pleasure
seeps throughout my arid soul
when the rain gently
coaxes the unyielding earth
till it is lush and verdant.

blood red gulmohars
violent dancing raindrops
wet, rocky brown soil
slippery streets and cool nights
monsoon comes with happy tears
i hate counting syllables in english :)

Though hours of silence
May stand still between two hearts
There's nothing between
Your chances and your own hope
With opportunistic eyes
Because its better to ask and to try and know. Trust me.

Foolish to revive
Anew on an April's day
Stormy sentiments
Devoid of such rainy eyes
But full of such snowy woes
Snow in April? Like a true northerner I am neither shocked nor surprised. Just wonder when the Springtime will finally be upon us. (:

She is starlight cold
The kind which radiates me
And I am mere glass
Formed by timeless sandy days
And iridescent are we
It's takes more than one jewel to make a crown. And when I'm here. I'm yours in mind.

Two people shining
So brightly, you would think they
Are partners in crime:
But as reality goes,
Their hearts are as far as stars

I love Japanese poetry; honestly, the briefness of their style is what really touched my heart—it leaves a sort of questioning feeling that makes one want more.

March air hits me hard
But snow fall sits upon
A fresh start lays here
But I'm still seeing the past
Existing at the same time
