Misplaced feelings.
Thinking it was the real thing.
Temporary people who are typical.
For what we had was fictional.
Paraphrase Jul 2017
We are,
Sitting on water tanks,
As the clouds begin to play childish pranks,
With the moon.

We have,
A perfect moment in an imperfect time,
Your palms squeezed into mine,
Not a moment too soon.

"Where are we going?"
"Nowhere, for now."
"We'll figure out where, once we figure out how,"
"As we go."

But I want to take you,
Taste your soul through sealed lips,
Hold you tight in my arms, as we take trips,
By ourselves.

I want to let go,
Every joy and misery I've ever known,
For a second with you smiling, your hair blown,
In an open car, on the open road.

So take my hand,
We can go drowning in these shallow waters,
Alone in our darkness,  among light that never falters,
And let go.

You can fall,
Know that broken people put back together,
Feel as good as new, as good as never,
But, for you, I'll try,
I won't break, I won't cry,
I'll hold on to you, like reason, to the only thing that matters,
So take my hand, we can go drowning,
In shallow waters.

I guess I was just temporary,
nothing really
just a person who came and left.

I was the friend you only knew
at work,
school,
or something.

Nothing more,
just a person to fill empty space
for a while.

Everyone knew this, but me.

You said,
"Pain is only temporary."
But so were you.

Always is never,

and never is forever,

so never think that it will always be forever.

The
clouds
pretended
to give shadow,
were actually
intended to
storm
you.
To
sweat?
or to get wet?
What maybe better?
Leave it, it doesn't matter.
The clouds are clouds.
They may be loud,
But floating,
Fleeting.
Just
to
cover
or
color,
The sky,
Temporarily!
Let them come,
show up,
and
go.
The sun,
The moon
and the stars,
Are always with you,
No matter where you go.
They may be away,
But they stay,
Forever
With
U
.
Every evening i sit n watch sunset and cloud formation in the sky....the hue.. the beauty..the floatation...the transition, i witness. I wrote this there itself..when realized there temporarily and related with our life...

I had met her only once.

Kissed I had her dry lips twice,
Night I slept and she kissed me,
Oh she woke me up to join in,
What I did was to drink her lips.

When I missed a chance to romance,
Have I such a memory? No,
Always cared for her throughout,
Truly I have loved her since eternity.

Yet she forgot about the care,
Oh, she ignored it conveniently,
Under an effect of worldly desires.

Did someone else prevent her,
I suspect her father made her,
Destiny is a roadblock in here.

The story ends with a breakup,
Hanging in obiter is happiness,
And each expectation shatters,
Tantalising hints of eternal love.

Another time I have failed,
Upon life she was a scourge,
The story is being renewed,
Ukulele orchestra plays within,
Morose tunes it plays lavishly,
Night fell long ago but it never ends.

A laugh bounces through the street below
Followed by that laugh's friends
A happy neighbourhood
Even this far into the evening
The sun was visiting elsewhere
Leaving a dull blue-grey
Spread over the sky.
A loop of those favourite songs we all had
Stumbles from second-hand speakers
You don't really hear them
Or rather, you don't hear them like you did
When you loved them.
This remedy-less loneliness
Is temporary
But you wouldn't know it to see it
It pulls you nowhere
And drags you into bed
It makes effort difficult
And overfills your head
With nothing it should be full of.

I’ve been whispering a thousand breathless lines to a lover that I will never taste.
Every day I’m reminded why spending time on people is such a waste.

When all I can do is promise words that are as temporary as the scent I leave on their bed.
Whenever morning comes, I’ll quietly leave you sleeping with my ghost inside your head.

Crawled my way and became a teen

My childhood disappeared
                     From puberty to adulthood
****....Rebellious days disappeared
Chasing dreams and following career - the fun disappeared!
                                 Volunteered and got married,
And "SHE" disappeared
Walked into a threshold of a new beginning



My past disappeared!!
