Hair string across your bathroom floor
I never hated the yellow light
Like your other friends
But the tiles were always catching my criticism
From the time I spilled oatmeal granola
In your kitchen while you held the milk in your
Hands, laughing as I stumbled after the mess
(Now I know that Sunday mornings aren’t supposed
To be neither clean neither spotless)
To the Wednesday afternoon we spent holding
Galaxies in our palms by your door while it rained
(Now I know music is not just
For sounds or dry escapes)
But most of all, to the Friday I walked onto your
Tiles and felt vacancy in all but one spot
Where you left behind a map as if to
Say, clean up your mess this time
(Now I know that these lettered days
Are just pathways, not destinations)

Ruby red converse
Rust coloured jacket
With the collars pulled down to
Expose your collarbones
The freshly painted ink engraving
Is stark against your skin
Once again you’ve proved that
You can commit to art
Yet not to another soul
Looking for the reasoning behind
The ways your eyes turn to amber
Liquid every time you’re scared
You kept those secrets in a box
Labeled in green sharpie with
DO NOT LET THE SUN TELL WHY
Every time I see you,
On occasion at our bus stop
The one where we traded coffees
And shared donuts
I reach up to adjust the
Scarf around my neck
You kissed the spot above
My neck bone with too much
Stardust on your lips
Now in scattered letters
It spells out your name and
I can’t have people knowing
That you were once my rain
On a dessert land
Dry for days
The wet came with rescue
Ladders in the late afternoons
I aligned myself with
Treetops caressing leaves
And far too many thorns
Live with me again
Show me what its like not
To be sunless on the
Floweriest 11 a.m. mornings
My friends started asking
Why there is only one pair
Of shoes by the door
Instead of two
I tell them the speed
One walks at is ever changing
And not to marathon wearing
Stars on your feet
Hang on here I go again
A thousand foot inside my head
Dwelling on my thoughts of sins
No wonder why my soul feels dead

Inner peace I'll never know
In these deep reaches of my mind
A dark curse on me bestowed:
Answers I seek I never find
I feel nothing
I'm sitting in this **** chair
Feeling questioned by a bunch of eyes and and a plate
The answers are always the same:
Nothing New, Nothing Yet. I Don't Know
Im starting to sense that I'm tired again
Of being more shallow than this stupid plate
Full of flowers and colors and food
Can you imagine how it feels
When you see a plate more alive and fuller than you?
A plate has my whole life in a crisis
It made me realize how insipid I am
I wish I could break the plate
But then what?
The answers are always the same:
Nothing New, Nothing Yet. I Don't Know
Another broken thing in the house?
I don't want to
I chose to rise, to take the plate with me
And hang it on my wall
If it can inspire me to break
Would I feel again?
Could it make me create?
Could it make me alive?
The answers are always the same:
Nothing New, Nothing Yet. I Don't Know
Im sorry my english is rusty.
When I first
Saw snow flakes
They look like
Kind of cotton pieces
Light in weight
White in color

As leaves started
Changing colors
Into golden yellow
I thought of it's beauty
But, to my surprise they
Started falling
This is my first time
I have seen trees completely
Losing all of the leaves
But stay alive. It was wonder to
Me. How can that happen
Later I get used to it

Like a child I play with snow
Making snowman and hitting
Friends with snow *****

My childhood was snowless
Now I am fulfilling my desire
Because there is no age limit for
Having fun and joy
Couldn't write better
Because i only had two
Snowfalls in my life...
Upto now

'Do you accept her as your lawfully wedded wife?'
'I do'
'Do you accept him as your lawfully wedded husband?'
'I do'
Now, pour the champagne!  
Watch the couple dance
Get drunk till no one's to be blamed
What a beautiful wedding it is!
They well spend the rest of their lives together
Beautiful forever
Shh.. We all know about their exes
Their decisions made in vain
But it's okay
They won't break a vow
or point out flaws
Let's find the profound
Dance to the blaring sound
Happy ever afters may not exist
Shh..It's time for them to kiss!
Lies on top of lies
We'll dance whilst they fight
Questioning intentions
and other confusions
Little by little
All these vows they break
Point out the flaws
which they embraced
Showing their true faces
Their souls bare naked
Struck by the pain of infidelity
Driven to insanity
Run for your lives!
Their anger has set the chapel on fire!
pretty white dress turning to  ashes
His jaw tightened
Lump in their throats
Words unspoken
Promises broken
With trembling lips he said
"I don’t love any more.
I hope you understand this.
I want a divorce. "
The bride wasn't everything the groom desired
If they loved each other
They're in a castle
with flickering candles
So yeah..its about a failed marriage
You gave me two choices

Be brave and leave me
                 Or
Be great and live with me

I am neither brave to leave you
Nor great to lose you

I am one little heart
Who was anticipating
For the future

Either living or leaving
