for all who understand perfectly why perfection can never be,

Todays new millionth sunrise bids me stand,
observe the river traffic from my kitchen window,
accept that my takings are debts,
a few, even paid back,
yet, most still owed,
for the origins of all my poems,
are oddly and oddity old,
unoriginal, second, third handed
as I look through the eyes of the dead,
and yours too,
this my unoriginal,
original sin....
(pretending  I am a poet)

Today, the ship of relations are sinking day by day...
And the over expectations are making it far away....

Being loyal to a relationship is needed to maintain it...
And hidden flaws are the reason which destroy it...

Trusting blindly cannot be certain at all times...
But be trustful is the only thing that is certain even at odd times...

Breaking heart intentionally will not give it’s sweet fruit..
But never hurting will definitely give it’s best fruit...

Even though proper communication can make a change..
And the misunderstanding can be reduced to a far extent..

Accepting someone fully...
Will give you back completely...

And compromising for each other is the foundation...
Which makes a lasting relation..

Nowadays people are reluctant to ful fill their obligations..
And so are their commitments..

Starting a relationship is quite easy as a clever fox...
But maintaining that same ship in a healthy way, is really what makes you a human...
Today relationships are sinking

I
I flow with the wind, move with sound, feel the rhythm as
I listen to the beat, drums echo within my being as if
An outer body experience I have yet not comprehended,
I surrender my soul to thee acoustic of the universe,

I tried to unite with the materialistic world I am conceived
Upon yet it never moved me to self discovery yet another
Confused being, I was trying to understand self though pain
And hatred it is the  burden I conceived upon thee.

“They say no man can live alone” I know that’s true yet
Understand things ain't the same no more material comes
First then friendship or love, funny u got to pretend instead
Of Just being yourself, then what about your happiness.

Listen I'm not lonely I choose to be alone so I could better
Apprehend self, I don’t flow with the crowd yet where
The wind takes me, I don’t listen to the flock yet food for
Thoughts, I'd never surrender my dreams nor goals over
Negativity as long this universe offers me wisdom…

a world filled with plastics,
everyone seems to be floating.
the world is changing,
i am slowly fading.

i can't breathe.
my lungs are covered with dust.
they can't resist the lust.
hoping it would be the last
i can't accept the fact,
they are all covered with mask,

i wouldn't dare to ask.
they are toxic,
couldn't hide the fact.

The days were dark and grey,
My mind deep in thoughts of sorrows and pain lay,
You promised you won't leave me at all,
But once again,you were not there at the time of my fall.

I laughed the most with you,
I cried the most with you,
I wish before trusting you I knew,
Cheaters like you are  not very few.

You took away everything I had with me,
My smile,my happiness and my glee,
We almost ended up as unknown peeps,
No more mattering our griefs.

The wind blew,
I no more know you,
I shall leave to find the real me,
To bring back my faded identity.

-Deepti
Love yourself.

I am constantly misread.
By the way I speak,
The words I write,
And the actions I do.
Everything is analyzed in such a way, today
That there is no way around it.
We are criticized,
Yelled at,
Belittled,
Because of words we did not say.
But for the interpretations people take from our
Words we speak,
Words we write,
And actions we do.
Life was simple back then
When I wasn’t constantly misread.

Run
Run my dear run
This world is full of misery
What more it could give
You dropped the ankh right between of our love
Now his dagger is full of your blood
This world could be beautiful
With flowers and tulips on top of the skyscrapers
Smokes from the moving steel
And a fire beneath the crater
Lets pretend we are happy
Or not
And play the drum while we run for the love and humanity
For freedom of this world
Raise your sword under the sun
For sure the war is between you and yourself

The dark second floor passageway
celebrates its one blessed feature,
a sash window, tarnished panes,
pixels, lit in colours beyond RGB.

An ordered scene of chevron gables,
an art deco arrangement, apex
clasping serpentine rust red pantiles,
pitched protection for the action below.

Steam escaping kitchen windows,
conveying today's menu,
while shining expectant plates await.

A clustered community,
mutering togetherness,
jealousies beneath the breath.

• College is hard.**

And that’s the list of things they don’t tell you in College.
And it don't get much easier.
