CantSeeMe
my eyes tell everything
that's not a thing
it's the truth it is
the kind I once missed

one look in my eyes
and I begin to smile
not out of love
no-
that's been a while
cause I don't know
how to react
it's an error in my brain
with pain just like rain

not a mask
just not used to
act
Maybe one day, my eyes smile too...

When I can’t write
And still I wish to.
Thinking all night
Hoping to see you.

Writer’s block isn’t for me.
But poked eyes, tonight I see.
Paper and pen, Keyboard and screen.
Either way, words fly from me.

(Part 02)

As the galaxy
of shining stars
danced along with
the moon;
the stars twinkled,
slapping their long
eyelashes
till they felt
the warmth in
the space
between.
The moon,
at his very best
tried to illuminate,
but his light never
escaped,
for he only
got reflected.
The stars realized
the fakeness of his
shine,
for they
left him alone
in the midst of the
grey clouds...
A story of unmasking — when someone who tries to shine in front of others is exposed as not truly themselves, and ends up lonely, misunderstood, or rejected.

As the dawn arrived,
the cold breeze
swept the
belt of
yellow sand
with her fragile
delicate fingertips,
till the sun
dipped low
and
melted into
the seas of tears,
for the moon
to take a
flight
into the skies
to have a ballet
with the
stars.
That true beauty lies in those who fade away quietly, letting others shine, and remain until no pain reaches them.

I hate when,
my opponent sat
in front of me
with a stained,
crooked sly grin
which reaches
up to the
ears
that day.
He looked in
to my eyes that
made me quite out
of my breath.
"Oh", I sighed.
"Not that face again",
said I.
Of course,
he did not took
it away at all.
The pieces
strolled on the
quiet lonely board.
Checks, captures with
diving threats all along.
Finally,
it happened,
just two pieces left.
Again staring at each other
from the two corner ends...
How could I
possibly not resist
to let out the laugh which,
I always kept hidden under
my tiny nose
all the
time?
Sweet Memories in a chess tournament...

Cradled in my
old broken holder,
your edges once
smooth—now all frayed;
Covered in grey
thick paint,
with pleading eyes,
you wait, to be
held in my
fragile
fingers.
But still
you kept your
lips stitched
with cobwebs.
Is that because,
a single touch of
yours, would scratch
the new-born
paper? Brush
Heartfelt kindness

"I cannot go to bed,
it's 9 pm", I said.
Just one more time
the clock should chime,
for me to go to bed.

My mother came out,
with a horrible shout,
"you have to got bed,
it's too late", she said.
But I don't want to go to bed.

So happily, I stared
at the TV, and declared,
"I will never go to bed!"
Then my dad's face went scarlet red.
But still I need not go to bed.

"You must tidy up this whole mess!"
He said; eyes fixed at the peices of chess.
My instincts worked with a pop,
I ran, but I did not stop,
to go back to bed.
