DIFFERENT OR DIVERSE
Rachiel Mar 2021
Thyself or Myself.
Selflove or Selfcare.
Eating or consumption.
Redemption or Vindication.
Self-conscious or Self-aware.
Sounds same,
Yet vastly different!
Or might I say diverse?

The five "C's"
Rachiel Dec 2018
Thursday morning delight.
Coffee - makes my entire day!
Cake - baked to make the world a better place!
Cats - furry, lovable creatures!
Chemistry - there exists nothing without it!
C* - You made the five "C's" possible!
So good yet so wrong.

PLEASE!
Rachiel Mar 2021
The face you remember, not that.
The voice you heard, not that.
The laugh you longed, not that.
The scent you recall, not that.
The memory you miss, not that.
This is new, fresh and different.
Let it sink.
Let it sit.
Let it grow.
Let that go.
PLEASE!

I NEEDED THE RAIN!!!
Rachiel May 2019
The sun - shy
      The scent - refreshing
            The vision - clear
                  The wind - pure
                        The evening - calm
                              The stars - luminous
                                   The feel - cold
Sometimes we just need to look closely to get a better, clear view.

Switched
Rachiel Feb 2019
When he talks, she hears you.
When he laughs, she pictures you.
When he holds her, she feels you.
When he hugs her, she smells you.
When he kisses her, she wishes it is you.
It's unfair and unjust.
She likes one, but she loves the other.
Seems like the people switched positions,
"The one" and "the friend".

DISCOVERY!!
Rachiel May 2019
I found an expert in you.
I found a friend in you.
I found a sibling in you.
I found a stubborn-head in you.
I found a child in you.
I found a realist in you.
I found a family in you.
I found an angel in you.
I found a beauty in you.
.

.
.
You were an interesting discovery!!!
To a loving lost friend.

Cannot pick one!!!
Rachiel Jan 2019
An unstoppable force,
An unspeakable thought,
An inexpressible emotion,
An indescribable comfort,
An unimaginable sensation,
An ineffable desire.
Too much control and too much power.
Loathe it or Love it, cannot pick one.
Give the control or fight for it, cannot pick one either.

Coffee...
Rachiel Dec 2018
Hot on a cold day and warm enough on a rainy day to kick me out of the bed,
The aroma and essence perfect for the troubled mind,
The warmth it spreads on my favorite mug is like hug from my mum,
Side to side I lay with my pug,
She sips her milk which puts her to sleep while I awaken from mine with every sip I take.
After a while it's not a wake up call but rather a booster to face the madness that awaits outside the door.
I suggest instead of falling in love fall in coffee, it doesn't **** you instead prepares you to face what is awaiting to **** you.

Morning- get it right!!
Rachiel Mar 2019
Deep long breath,
Freshly brewed coffee,
Scriptural versus for the soul,
Sweat session on the yoga mat,
You got this day!!!!!
Some days are difficult to start and some are difficult even before the previous night. Whoever is reading this or looking for some motivation, you got this day!!!! Sometimes you just need to get the morning right.

Oh Mother!
Rachiel Feb 2019
A void if your voice isn't heard,
A hurt if you sound upset,
An emptiness if you don't laugh,
A fear when you don't respond to calls,
My growth into an adult is making you grow into old-age.
The unspoken truth of losing you grows stronger as you get adjusted in the new yet forced stage of existence.
Oh Mother! You strengthen me everyday yet it's unknown how I shall survive if you go away.
Please stay back for me!!
To my beloved mother who made me walk in the most difficult paths of life, I hated it when she did it back then but now I know why it was mandatory, she was just preparing me for facing the worst, the worst when she wouldn't be able to be around.

JUST A MOMENT!!
Rachiel May 2019
12 hours subscription,
2 minutes noodles,
1 hour laundry,
24 hours delivery.

When should I think?
When should I feel?
Everything so fast and fleeting.
Everything so instant.

I need a moment,
A moment to just be still.
To acknowledge I am still human,
Not some "time-operated" machine.

I need to take a deep breath,
I need to feel the calm,
I need to meditate,
Feel the fresh air in my lungs.

For a moment pause my thoughts from this hustle and bustle,
Just for a moment!!

Home
Rachiel Dec 2018
Is home a place?
Is home a person?
Is home a feeling?
Is home a suspension of our four dimension location?
For some it is all of the above.
A feeling of acceptance and security, with that person, at a safe place with no regret of losing time.
I bet we bless the day that person was born.
My home, my favorite feeling, my warmest secure place to be.

MAKE THEE KNOWN!
Rachiel Mar 2021
Your silence is not an answer.
Your smile is not a solution.
Your nod is not a confirmation.
Your clueless expression is not an indication.
Voice is!
Words are!
Actions are!
Presence is!

KARMA
Rachiel Jan 2019
What we need is air, What we give is smoke.
What we need is care, What we give is negligence.
What we need is security, What we give is insecurities.
What we need is acceptance, What we give is judgement.
Why this wonder and confusion??
Be it science - Every action has an equal and opposite reaction,
Or faith - As you sow so shall you reap,
Or universe - What goes around comes around,
All base on one common ground - KARMA.
Let the actions be good, the results will be better.
When all is said and done don't we all just need that some hope to hold on to!!!!

One-sided!!!
Rachiel Jan 2019
Usually frowned upon.
But why?
A mother feels it for her new born.
a.k.a. the purest form of love known to mankind.
Then why be upset when you feel it for the "special" someone.
It demands selflessness.
Giving without no guarantee of receiving.
No profit, grant or bonus.
Just peace and self-satisfaction of seeing them happy.
Not many are capable of it.

I KNOW and I WILL KNOW
Rachiel Apr 2019
Ever felt so happy to hear someone's voice? I know!!
Ever felt so energetic on seeing someone's smile? I know!!
Ever felt so empty when someone had to leave? I know!!

Ever felt powerful after days of despair? I will know!!
Ever felt peace after accepting the end? I will know!!
Ever felt forgiveness for the unreceived apology? I will know!!

Some days you are "I know",
Sometimes you end up to be "I will know".
Either way you have to survive it.
In the process of losing someone slowly, I needed someone to tell me this.
Hope this helps someone if they need it!!

I CHOOSE...
Rachiel Nov 2019
The kindness I received,
The goodness I experienced,
The apology I never received,
The hate I eradicate,
The passion I desire,
The sincerity I cultivate,
The Love I deserve,
The person I should be.
As fall is the nature's way of letting go, this Autumn I choose to let go of those things that I have been holding on stubbornly.

HIS & HER
Rachiel Aug 2019
His escape was art, Her escape was books.
His companion was cats, Her companion was a dog.
His amusement was baking, Her amusement was running.
His passion was teaching, Her passion was dancing.
His melody was jazz and blues , Her melody was country.
His choice was him, Her choice was then immaterial.
His words were "maybe we are not meant to be",
Her words were "wish you gave it another try".
His preference was settlement, her preference was improvement.
His goodbye was a hug, Her goodbye was a tear.
Moved on, yet the flashbacks return!!!!

60 MINUTES!!!
Rachiel May 2019
Some days smiling is difficult.
Some days laughing is a chore.
Some days getting through is painful.
Some days loving oneself is impossible.
Those "SOME DAYS" are the survival game,
Breathe and believe "This shall pass soon"
Give yourself 60 minutes of happiness and gratitude on that specific "SOME DAY"!!!
For anyone battling the war of self-hate, depression, anxiety, loss of hope; its not the end. If the end is bad, its NEVER the end!!! You are a survivor, don't let it get to you, fight for yourself.
Inspired by someone so special to me who is going through a hard time.

Two glasses!!!
Rachiel Jan 2019
Two glasses of wine,
That's all it takes for you to make an appearance in my head.
Brimming through the edges
Over-flowing from the top,
Two glasses is all it takes.

CREATE
Rachiel Apr 2019
I am letting my fears go,
I am opening my mind to new ideas,
I am letting new thoughts to form,
I am choosing to agree with disagreements,
I am building new visions everyday,
I am growing bit-by-bit,
I am creating it piece-by-piece.
All because of you and all for you,
But once I leave, they shall be a part of me,
A parting gift for me from you.
P.S. This is for the "YOU" in my life!!!
When "growing-old-with-you" is not an option, I will grow in my mind,thoughts and ideas while I am around you. The cost of admiring you is big but I am willing to take that risk. That's how much you mean to me.
Rachiel Mar 2019
A beautiful illusion, A false hope.
As soon as the wind blows, the boat starts to row towards it,
The closer and deeper the sea pushes the boat, the further the sky appears.
The line where the sky meets the sea is a delusion.
The more the sea reaches out, the further the sky moves away.
Its a beautiful vision to the visitors but a daily disappointment to the sea.
And then suddenly the sea stopped to reach out for the sky.
The moon took up that mission.
The sky ghosted the moon by using the sun.
And in the end they all stopped to try!!!

WITHOUT!!!
Rachiel May 2019
If only I could.
See you without you watching,
Hear you without you knowing,
Caress you without you feeling,
Sit beside you without you being aware,
And walk away without making a sound!!!

MEANWHILE YOU...!!
Rachiel May 2019
I admired your aura,
  You desired my attention.
    You were my breath of fresh air,
      I was just filling for your loneliness meanwhile.
        I felt passion while having you in my sight,
          You felt butterflies seeing your effect on me for then.
            You left snatching a part of me unknowingly,
               I stood there watching your back while a tear dropped
                                                                ­                                              silently.
ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO TELL YOU!!!

— The End —
