Em
I have sunsets on my cheeks.
Blushing roses
and pinks.
I have flowers in my hair.
Blooming,
growing with me.
I am a wanderer
around my life.
Navigating
who I am
and who I want to be .
I wonder what
the seed of the maple knew
Before he was told
to be a tree.

When I fell in love again,
I dug a small grave in my heart,
I buried all his flaws,
I will just go wherever my love takes me.

Every relationship has an age
Some remain for years, some for days.
That's why we celebrate anniversaries
to remind our togetherness in happiness and adversaries.
So don't feel sorrow when somehow it ends
Just feel lucky, you were there when it all happened.

I need not say,
because I look in every way
perfectly imperfect.

I say things which I don't mean
and I don't say those I truly mean
I am still in the making
wobbling with words
learning to handle pain
trying to balance my heart
amidst breaking and surviving

I am not striving for perfection
because that is not my intention
I am messed up,
Insanely sane
a puzzled game
unbecoming who I am
again & again.

All I ever wanted was for us to stay
Just the way we were
Lying under the stars
When we were young and in love

Your mood changes
Like the second hand on a clock
My hour hand keeps moving
But I just can't keep up

For a moment
I took a leap into the real world
to make connections
feeling affection
but soon enough
felt afloat
on superficial sea of emotions
I ran back to find solace
in the erratic lines
of poetry.
Neither life is straight
nor my poems
but at least I can see
my true reflections
in the poetic aberrations.
I missed writing for a while.
