#aspiring - Hello Poetry

Are they strictly local? I wonder what, of her inspirations, she’s seeking through the Sun Whatever it is, It is something I walk away again. Hollywood again. He leaps down unto the glossy sheen arms out back straight chin raised No. But I’ve been trying. Or, softly pirouetting Fred Astaire Tuxedo’d tails like bird’s wings hang low on the body Cuz I’ve been trying. In turn, she’s losing the Sun. It rests like a clear bubble Large, between. Amorphous. It is, in as much as It isn’t. Is she done yet? I saunter over. No. Where you from? The phone rests precariously On the metallic lawnchair, filming. I have to move my seat. LOUD is always the giveaway What I’ve just realised is that I have never heard my neighbour laugh. Criticisms anchor, Bewildering. I wonder does she bounce awake, up and into the early morning tap dancing? An off-key bleat pierces before even the coffee beans can be ground down For a long time I look out the window standing in the place of any and all distractions. Pinned to the wall. Can you ever leave Hollywood? But, here I am again! Splat. I mean, really? Since I was 17! No. She’s practicing her lines to the Atmosphere. Thrashing, like so. Suggesting, rather. She, Seated in the other, resorts to Choreography. There she is, Transfixing. Again, another one.

Winds were turning, the sun was burning Some were earning, some were learning Despite same age, not on same page Circus and its cage, work and its wage Before days were salad, life was ballad Now scant is jealous, fulfilled is callous Some were putting stamps, some were avoiding lamps Anxiety became swamps, solitude became camps Devoid of the vision, dreams in the prison Blames and reason, grudges every season Fast as well as furious, adrenaline was curious Shifting next and previous, life was oblivious Downers were prevailing, attempts were failing But refuge against despairing, refute against ailing Dive deep into sea, nothing will come free Don't cry, make tea,from sapling to tree Sweat is often sweet, let's find our feet Time is dead heat, smile and compete From morning to night, between joy and plight Better fight than flight, journey will be alright

Time helps us grow, Which lets us know, About everything good and bad, Making us feel happy, sad or mad. Time can allow us to for see, Where, what and who we want to be. Time beings about loss, But heals ours wounds after our falls. Time finds us kinds of friends, It determines their stay until our ends. Time forgives and forgets our sins, Giving us a chance to eventually have our wins. Everything is in due time, Once written in a knowledgeable rhyme. Time passing is not determined only by the clock's chime, But by how we use it in our prime.

They say you only live once so cliché as it may sound But do make the most out of it as you live your life Do it according to your own parameters No need to compare it with others. For as long as you decide for your sake Never hesitate to figure things out on your own When you set your pace of living your dreams You will never have to worry. Happiness and success are two interlinking entities Having both is a blessing But flourishing in every circumstances you encounter is way more than pleasing. And as you only live once, Maybe you can always try to do something to forget than to regret later on.

I came out with a little something To tantalise the world with I put on a magician cloak And a top hat to top the world There was that mind blowing show At 7 pm each wednesday. I sold people embroidered lies And bought their colossal blunders Yet, none could feed the hunger I carried In the pit of my stomach Or the thirst that would wipe out my barren eyes Till some intruder having planned before Broke in to the show, blasting the door As audience fled, my cloak caught fire The top hat descended like acid rain corroding my magic into pieces of wood and wire All gone and I stood watching How my utmost dreams flew away . Two tinsy droplets began dancing on my cheeks The hunger that ached my stomach for weeks Muttered: Voila! And the intruder had left with nothing to say.

Music is a powerful thing. She laid, hoping to sleep. She had her headphones in. The music took her somewhere No dream could. The sounds, the lyrics, Each flowing directly to he drums, Took her away from the world For just long enough So that she'd feel Overwhelming joy.
