poetry everywhere

The sun shines in your eyes and stars twinkle in your hair. There's poetry everywhere to those who care. The moon's bright in your smile and I all but melt under your stare. There's poetry everywhere for those who care.

Every man has left a different door open in me. I keep the lights on for all of them. I have learned to call this love instead of what it is: a mouth that stays open long after the word has gone. They come to me burning and I let them. I have held so many people through the worst nights of their lives and still gone to bed alone, my hands still warm from someone else's grief. The ribcage is a room. I have known this for years. I have furnished it for everyone but myself. How beautifully they applaud the bruise. To be known for the song is to be unknown for the throat. I am always the feast, never the table. I watched a boy kiss a girl under the streetlight, his mouth the anchor, her body the sea. I have so much water in me and I am still dying of thirst. They walked back to their lives I built out of air. I built out of air and called it enough. I called it enough. God, I called it enough.

I Have So Much Water in Me

Every man has left a different door open in me. I keep the lights on for all of them. I have learned to call this love instead of what it is: a mouth that stays open long after the word has gone. They come to me burning and I let them. I have held so many people through the worst nights of their lives and still gone to bed alone, my hands still warm from someone else's grief. The ribcage is a room. I have known this for years. I have furnished it for everyone but myself. How beautifully they applaud the bruise. To be known for the song is to be unknown for the throat. I am always the feast, never the table. I watched a boy kiss a girl under the streetlight, his mouth the anchor, her body the sea. I have so much water in me and I am still dying of thirst. They walked back to their lives I built out of air. I built out of air and called it enough. I called it enough. God, I called it enough.

Dear Emmett, I miss you We haven’t talked in months You were there for me in my darkest times When my parents were fighting I know you have your own battles with your mind Yet I miss my best friend I asked Jillian if you were ok That text was left on read If you don’t want to be friends anymore please let me know Instead of just leaving calls unanswered and texts left on read I love you Always have, always will The worst kind of heartbreak is when a friend pulls away So this has been closure I will stop reaching out So much love, Ash (as you know me Leaf) P.S I hope you’re doing alright

The Worst Kind of Heartbreak

Dear Emmett, I miss you We haven’t talked in months You were there for me in my darkest times When my parents were fighting I know you have your own battles with your mind Yet I miss my best friend I asked Jillian if you were ok That text was left on read If you don’t want to be friends anymore please let me know Instead of just leaving calls unanswered and texts left on read I love you Always have, always will The worst kind of heartbreak is when a friend pulls away So this has been closure I will stop reaching out So much love, Ash (as you know me Leaf) P.S I hope you’re doing alright

They met in her family's Restaurant kitchen She, an apprentice chef She, an absolute gem She, who would become The squish Kindness and honesty Go such a long way, It's a pity It did not happen sooner The first time She called her a friend, She had beamed - Her eyes truly did sparkle that day The decision was made: This is her person No spell so emphatic, No truth quite as static Because friendship Truly is magic 🥀

i knew that i felt love when i met my bestfriend. i knew that i felt love when i met my first pet. i knew that i felt love when i heard my new favourite song. i knew that i felt love when i went to my first concert. i knew that i felt love when i met one of my favourite artists. i knew that i felt love when i hugged my mum. i knew that i felt love when i sat down and ate dinner with my family. love isn't just romantic. it can be platonic. and sometimes it's even more special that way. let yourself be loved, and love other people and things you enjoy.

You say I'm messy, like you don't drop paint at my feet. You say I'm toxic, like you don't enjoy what you see. You say we're platonic, like you don't think about your hands on my skin. You say we're just friends, like I dont catch you lingerin'. You wait 'til we're alone to tell me what's confined in your mind. You try to hide it until your mouth is too close to mine. But I see your eyes drop, even just for a split, that look on your face, the moment you slip. And hey, I'd put all the blame on you if I could— But truth be told, my scales tip as I think of the what-ifs. A one-time thing? Let’s run it back, icl I crave your lips. We said we were done, but never got the memo. Crash out if someone else walked in- are you feeling my tempo? I hold back, but only 'cause I know you won’t, we're on the same wavelength though we act like we don't- know each other, in front of others. And maybe that's the problem- perhaps that's the pull, the rush of it all, it's a mess, it really is. You and I, what we do. Behind closed doors, in hushed voices, our minds are one, pretending to be two. But you know what? you're right. I am messy, I am toxic. You're only sometimes platonic. But at least when it’s quiet, and it’s just us on our own, we don’t hide or look away. and yeah, the love is real— We got each other, no matter the day.

My friend, I love you I'm not in love with you, just to be clear. It's not so much in the way that you walk, or the way that you talk. Or even the way your long hair is always just so. Or your smile. Or your warmth. I remember the way that I used to be. Quiet. Unsure. Afraid. Naive. But you pulled me away, made me see that I could be more - would be more, beside you. I remember your birthday at your family's restaurant. I knew I'd already ruined the night for myself, but you found me where I stood alone in the street... and the silence softened. You asked me if I wanted to dance. I said no, it was already too late, the damage was done... but I wanted to say yes. **** I wanted to say yes. You're the one who listens to me, who doesn't assume I'll always say no thankyou. I'd had "friends" like that before, They made me believe that I wasn't enough, just as I am. But you...you believe that I am. Now? I’d say yes. No hesitation. With you, the nerves quiet down. I don’t feel like I have to hide. It just feels safe. Like I can dance without thinking, and not be afraid of being seen. But I've worried, even now. Am I doing enough? Do I check in, when it matters? Am I still enough as I am? You are a ******* gem, and all I want is for you to sparkle. I see how you are with others. Lighter Laughing The way it skims the air, untouched by my knowing. I look at you and I wonder, could I be like that? Do I even want to? I know my energy is quiet and subtle, yet you meet me there and reflect it... but is what we have enough for us? This could all just be in my head. I know I'm a worrier. But I think you know how much you mean to me. I'll never say it. I can't. Not out loud, anyway. But I can manage a birthday card and a felt frame of a tabby cat who looks like Julia. The words flow easier that way. And so I write it here too. I really, platonically love you. My squish. My gem. I love you.

You are an absolute gem of a friend Always, do you stand your ground Irrespective of the situation Beyond your capabilities, is no complication!! You are an absolute gem of a friend And one of a kind Very sharp, is your mind You use your wits to no end No wonder, are you such a good judge of character You are as solid as the Rock of Gibraltar!!

We knew each other before. We lay under oak trees, scattering the sky with leaves and rotted together into the dirt, as the moon scattered the sky with stars. Flying stars. I see your face in reflections across water, two boughs, one canopy, glimmering in vibrant colours against blue. As we lay, you grew flowers - Peruvian lilies - from the soil that became of your palms. Ever the giver.

Dear Urvashi, wish you a belated happy birthday!! I've known you for less than a year However, that doesn't take away the fact That we've always shared a cordial relationship Not just as colleagues But also as good friends Right from the day we met I knew that we would get along Like peas in a pod As you told me recently Our conversations have always been meaningful Whether it be work or personal stuff I've never felt dull or bored While interacting with you You understand me very well I can be weird sometimes But that has never bothered you Because the only thing that truly matters to you As far as a relationship is concerned Is character In fact, that's the way it should be Also, I've always enjoyed working with you You are very talented And your communication skills are top-notch Not to mention, you are super helpful I am sure you will make us all proud As far as your career is concerned Of course, luck hasn't always been on your side But you just need to believe in yourself Stand in front of the mirror Tell yourself "I can do it" And you will do it You also have a fun side This was on display When we had the team lunch at Canto And the team dinner at TOIT Oh boy, when you talk You go on and on As though nothing can stop you And I feel so comfortable with you That it almost seems As though I'm talking to a family member Finally, you are very sweet and caring Something that I've particularly noticed When it comes to your family By the way, please give my regards to them And hope you had a great time yesterday Take care and may the Lord bless you With loads of love, success, happiness and peace

Who gave you the idea That love is all about romance? Love can be towards anybody In this massive planet Whether it be your parents Or grandparents Or siblings Or cousins and relatives Or even friends And apart from these people Love can exist in other forms too Helping an elderly gentleman or lady Cross a busy road full of speeding vehicles? That's love Running a langar to feed the poor and needy? That's love Running an NGO to treat cancer patients As well as rehabilitate them after treatment And engage them in useful work? That's love Cancelling your job interview To take a victim of a road accident to the hospital? That's love Dropping your colleague off at his/her home after work? That's love Standing up to a bully who is picking on a few kids? That's love Feeding chapattis and biscuits to a few cats on the street?

A light in darkness was your glowing face, Maybe the spark who lit the candle of Passion I had, brightening my nights and days, With just an admiring and kind love. Never would I forget your face for years, You were my happiness, a simple joy Who l had captured in my heart, the tears Were blessings I would forever enjoy. I could not grasp your soothing presence, though, No – 'twas too far away for me, The more distant you were, more did you glow, Becoming a part of my destiny. I truly believed that it was Divine, Noble, because you could never be mine.

Platonic Love

A light in darkness was your glowing face, Maybe the spark who lit the candle of Passion I had, brightening my nights and days, With just an admiring and kind love. Never would I forget your face for years, You were my happiness, a simple joy Who l had captured in my heart, the tears Were blessings I would forever enjoy. I could not grasp your soothing presence, though, No – 'twas too far away for me, The more distant you were, more did you glow, Becoming a part of my destiny. I truly believed that it was Divine, Noble, because you could never be mine.

You are always there for me. You lift me up whene'er I need. Your kindness spreads through my bones, Reaching in and peeling back the facade. Within your loving grasp, I'm calm. Your strong arms hold me fast. Truly I am free at last, Holding on until my last breath To you, my life support, my friend. The warm red glow of peaceful balm. Everybody needs somebody like you...

Somebody Like You

You are always there for me. You lift me up whene'er I need. Your kindness spreads through my bones, Reaching in and peeling back the facade. Within your loving grasp, I'm calm. Your strong arms hold me fast. Truly I am free at last, Holding on until my last breath To you, my life support, my friend. The warm red glow of peaceful balm. Everybody needs somebody like you...

I just can't look into your eyes; I know that when I do, I'll cry. Oh, I'll try, and try, and try not to lie to you, But choking on my tears, I can't stay true. I wish you could be here with me. I need your rhythms and harmony. Sure, I can sing on my own, But I'll wander still, never finding home. Listen, you know I can't forget you. Our duets will go nowhere without a venue. I live my life to make you proud, But you only ever seem to look down. I wish you could be here with me. I need your rhythms and harmony. Sure, I can sing on my own, But I'll wander still, never finding home. I'm sorry if I've ever upset you, I lie awake in a cold sweat for you- Hoping, praying, pleading I won't make you mad, Knowing full-well you'll just be sad. I wish you could be here with me. I need your rhythms and harmony. Sure, I can sing on my own, But I'll wander still, never finding home. You truly are my best friend. I never want our partnership to end. All good things must come to a close, So I hope you'll wave to me before you go.

You Are My Home

I just can't look into your eyes; I know that when I do, I'll cry. Oh, I'll try, and try, and try not to lie to you, But choking on my tears, I can't stay true. I wish you could be here with me. I need your rhythms and harmony. Sure, I can sing on my own, But I'll wander still, never finding home. Listen, you know I can't forget you. Our duets will go nowhere without a venue. I live my life to make you proud, But you only ever seem to look down. I wish you could be here with me. I need your rhythms and harmony. Sure, I can sing on my own, But I'll wander still, never finding home. I'm sorry if I've ever upset you, I lie awake in a cold sweat for you- Hoping, praying, pleading I won't make you mad, Knowing full-well you'll just be sad. I wish you could be here with me. I need your rhythms and harmony. Sure, I can sing on my own, But I'll wander still, never finding home. You truly are my best friend. I never want our partnership to end. All good things must come to a close, So I hope you'll wave to me before you go.

You rang me. After dinner. Right after dinner. I got happy, of course. And I asked why you were calling. You said you had to tell me something. My brain, made the connections very fast: You talked with him during dinner. You left him. Yes. You left him. The back of my mind was still calling me stupid. After all, it would be nonsense if you left him. Totally nonsense. Still, for once, I didn’t listen to the sane and truthful voice in the back of my mind. I was laughing, Smiling, And hoping. I wanted it to be. Please, Tell me, You left him. You left him. Tell me. And then you say: “I wanted to see you smile.” Of course you do. Of course that was it. After all, it would be nonsense if you left him. “I have to talk in a lower tone, because... you know... I’m not alone.” Of course I know. Of course you have to talk in a lower tone. After all, it would be nonsense if you left him. I say you are sweet. You indeed are. And I smile, and say: “My heart is racing, and I don’t know why” Of course it is racing. Of course I could not mention why. After all, it would be nonsense if you left him. And you say that you love me, In a even lower tone. Oh please, I cannot even hear you. He will not hear you, don’t worry. But I understand, I do. After all, it would be nonsense if you left him. I don’t know if it will happen. After all, it would be nonsense if you left him. It will never be the right time. After all, it would be nonsense if you left him. You will never be ready. After all, it would be nonsense if you left him. You cannot leave him. After all, it would be nonsense if you left him. Because he would hurt. He can’t hurt. I can hurt. You have known him for years. It would be nonsense if you left him. And you won’t leave him. And that’s ok.

Has anyone ever told you that you are the most endearing person in human existence? Because I think you are. With your sacred motion that spreads along my lungs, with your pretty laughter during an evident silence. Haphazard glances at vivid rays, and your verdant eyes stare straight at me, and I feel blue. I try to hide my lasting grief and fickle spirits, I cherish you in many ways. I keep in mind eternal summer, eternal bliss, eternal souls, and our names that changed. The story's blessed by future prays, you, my pal, and I are waiting.

To my soulmate, who is now someone else's soulmate.

Has anyone ever told you that you are the most endearing person in human existence? Because I think you are. With your sacred motion that spreads along my lungs, with your pretty laughter during an evident silence. Haphazard glances at vivid rays, and your verdant eyes stare straight at me, and I feel blue.

The story's blessed by future prays, you, my pal, and I are waiting.

You are my pillar of strength You are my tomb of rest Life would not be magical if you weren't there Hell, it would not be worth living I miss you We're both just one call away But I need your presence It's like fate tossed a coin and we both ended up together I say I don't believe in destiny But I know one thing You are written in the pages of mine Even if nothing else is

1250 miles is not a big enough distance to separate us

You are my pillar of strength You are my tomb of rest Life would not be magical if you weren't there Hell, it would not be worth living I miss you We're both just one call away But I need your presence It's like fate tossed a coin and we both ended up together I say I don't believe in destiny But I know one thing You are written in the pages of mine Even if nothing else is

There are many ways people define their own meanings of it I’m not sure how many I’ve written so far Too many to count to inscribe on each separate compartment of my evergreen heart Too light to set in stone and Never knowing how to start I entered the world enveloped in it Felt it’s soft embrace in the shapes of two people who taught me how to chase the world from the safety of movies, books and poetry In the confines of a family tree with a canopy covering a brother older than me living a sea away with a mum who wasn’t mine But a dad whose blood ran through both our bonded veins We soon became three Another brother, this time younger, Took the position of the constant company I had never known before After 6 years of waiting with only grown ups and toys to tell my stories to. Some say love for a family is compulsory For me it is a promise I feel lucky enough to keep Then there are families that you unintentionally choose Pairings where platonic love flows aplenty friends you keep and sometimes lose Fast fading but never forgotten Memories evoked by reminiscent reminders that cast quiet smiles every once in a blue moon provoked by shiny new conversations with people you hope don’t leave as soon as they arrived words fail to compensate the connection unseen yet tangible in unspoken exchanges and belly-aching laughter A place where paths cross and soon merge into the same road with no horizon in sight But a sunset worth riding straight into A sunset similar to the same sunrise that guides a heart to realise Just how far it is capable of falling without intending to The heart of a girl raised so well on romantic ideals she convinced herself she fell the right way first time around So when she fell out, she forgot how to spell it without him. Until months of cautious practise soon proved her wrong seeing oceans in unfamiliar eyes didn’t sting anymore And the fear of letting someone new in slowly subsided with every secret infatuation The apprehension of the in-between never tasted so sweet We fall in love with melodies, allow touches to linger on our bodies or construct imaginary fantasies with strangers who pass gently through our timelines There are chemical concoctions responsible for the pounding in my chest I have fought with my favourites and which parts I think I like best But you’re doing pretty well at keeping first place as far as my fondness is concerned. Although knowing things for definite is where my weaknesses lie I can say for certain that I am a person who feels many things very deeply And although it causes confusion and problems and pain, it’s something I would never change about myself I think, feeling everything is better than not feeling anything at all I can say that the word “love” is something that carved its initials into my own a long time ago It’s always been the one word that never stopped feeling warm, soft, and safe It’s something I have always seen myself falling into and curling up inside while never being afraid to close my eyes I know it will still be there when I open them.

Standing there, Light bouncing gracefully, Off your auburn hair, You are more than I could ever imagine, You might be when we first met, But now you're here, And I let you have all my secrets without a thought You are never far, always near In case I ever (always) need you, You don't tell me you love me, And nor do I to you, Simply because we don't need words to see it We fight for each other, Defend till the very last breath, And cover the charcoal tracks, Of acts maybe we shouldn't of commit, We gift each other with smiles and laughter, And acts of care not visible to the passerby, But that can be seen bright and colourful in our eyes We share endless calls sitting on bedroom floors, Scattered with reminders of each others presence, Lent books, borrowed clothes and past birthday presents, All coloured in by you You're not a loud bang of care, But a quiet friend who is always there, Whether I need you deperately or not, So don't think you'll ever be forgot, By those who paint in gold, And who's love is told, Because though they are magical, And light up unknown fires inside of me, You will always be the glowing orange, And even in the background, I'll still hear you just as loud.

You: an ode to the old friends

Standing there, Light bouncing gracefully, Off your auburn hair, You are more than I could ever imagine, You might be when we first met, But now you're here, And I let you have all my secrets without a thought You are never far, always near In case I ever (always) need you, You don't tell me you love me, And nor do I to you, Simply because we don't need words to see it We fight for each other, Defend till the very last breath, And cover the charcoal tracks, Of acts maybe we shouldn't of commit, We gift each other with smiles and laughter, And acts of care not visible to the passerby, But that can be seen bright and colourful in our eyes We share endless calls sitting on bedroom floors, Scattered with reminders of each others presence, Lent books, borrowed clothes and past birthday presents, All coloured in by you You're not a loud bang of care, But a quiet friend who is always there, Whether I need you deperately or not, So don't think you'll ever be forgot, By those who paint in gold, And who's love is told, Because though they are magical, And light up unknown fires inside of me, You will always be the glowing orange, And even in the background, I'll still hear you just as loud.
