My mind is calm,
Empty,
But not in the way I cherish.
The whiteout is blank,
Motionless,
The water on a still lake.
I long for the storms,
Rivers,
Rainfalls of inspirations.
Instead,
All I get,
Is c a l m

i want to write
i want to fill this empty page with brilliant words
i want to blow people away with my witty metaphors and symbolism
but i cant seem to get it out

trust me I have so much to say
too many thoughts
so many unfinished poems
I mean i probably have about 50 drafts
just sitting,
unfinished,
unpolished,
unperfect
it's either too wordy or not wordy enough,
too meticulous or not meticulous enough,
doesn't rhyme at all or doesn't rhyme the way i want it to

i want to be good like all the others i see on here
but i just cant seem to measure up
resisting the urge to delete this because i don't think it's good enough
God forbidden dimwitted idiot
oddly created in his image
as if he could ever pity or give a ****
about every illegitimate kid of his;
no wisdom hidden in riddles,
just my own illiterate scribbling
littered with inner criticisms.

आंसुओं से नमकीन तकिये पर वो ख्यालों का समंदर साध रहा है
निराशा की लहरों के बीच वो अपनी कमर कसकर बाँध रहा है
व्याकुलता पर नियंत्रण कर, वो धीरे-धीरे आगे बढ़ रहा है
गौर से देखो, वो कुछ कर रहा है!

बे-बात ही न जाने क्यों ही दुनिया से वो लड़ रहा है -
शायद अपनी बात रखने की ही तैयारी कर रहा है
महानों के इतिहास में झांक कर वो
अपने भविष्य के पन्ने भर रहा है!
उसे कुछ देर अकेला छोड़ दो,
वो कुछ कर रहा है!

कुछ सोच रहा है, कुछ समझ रहा है!
बंद होठों के पीछे उसका दिल ज़ोर-ज़ोर से गरज रहा है।
भले ही आज अपने ही लिखे पर हस्ताक्षर करने को डर रहा है -
पर उसे कमज़ोर मत समझना,
वो ज़रूर कुछ कर रहा है!

परिश्रम का फल सदा से अमर रहा है,
पर करने वालों पर सदा से अमंगल का क़हर रहा है।
इसके बावजूद, वो कोयले सा तपकर हीरे सा निखर रहा है -
गौर से देखो, वो कुछ कर रहा है!

Turn off the thoughts
the thinking is an overload.
We just arrived in this moment
no place to be, no burden in toll.
This is just the briefest pause
to take your power back...
Love will build your energy
take a deep breath and relax.

Know that we are creators,
fractals of the eternal source.
Now your words will flow and sing
without exerting force.

Works for me!

Sometimes,
When I am with my demons or angels,
and drowning alone in silence,
I find solace in my inauspicious life.

Sometimes,
Solitude is the only place
where I can remain contemplative,
as thoughts freely flow within my mind.

Sometimes,
There is beauty in quiet introspection,
my unvoiced passions are never denied,
but must I remain unloved, as time slowly slips by?

Is my mind merely irresolute?
Torn into pieces by ambivalent thought,
at war with itself, until reason intervenes...

and then I begin to write.

Every time I’m alone
I get the overwhelming urge to write more poems.
The creative vibe adds to this experience of joyous content.
The contemplations of life
I do not lament.
I let my spiritual intelligence
fill my heart with the math of love.
This extends far beyond the physical hug.

A blank page blinks
Begging words to appear
I can't seem to think
Months lapse into years

Shake the ink from the pen
Alchemy art from grieving
Change a loss to a win
Turn that mill for demons

Crank out another liter
'Til the pump's run dry
Claw up one last meter
Over that ****'s the sky

i have words inside of me
and i can’t say
any of them.
i don’t even know
what they are.
what happened to my voice?
it feels like it’s been a while
since i had something to say.
living underwater, living like a corpse.
i wake up and then go back to sleep
because “awake” is not “autopilot”.

why am i so tired?
I have been feeling…slow, lately. glitchy. staticky. stagnant.
