Twig in a River
Viral Jun 2016
I'm a tiny twig flowing in a River

Its flow, mighty, powerful, turbulent
I make futile attempts to make my own way
But it's the forces of nature that determine my path
Pushing me, Pulling me at its whim
And yet I have this notion of Destiny
Of a greater calling
A belief or rather a hope for finding
the true purpose for my existence
Perhaps a twig would change the flow of a River
And Perhaps the whole story wouldn't sound as absurd as its pitiful summarization
Yet, nothing is more true, more tangible,
more persistent, more disheartening
than the fact that

I'm a tiny twig flowing in a River
The lines of optimism and wishful fantasy are thin

Silent storm

Turbulence in my mind
Peace I cannot find
Thoughts I cannot park
Silence screams in the dark

Demented shadow rejoices
Deafening loud noises
Exhausting persistent voices
Debating impossible choices

Don't need anyone to blame
Just Need to numb my brain
Does anyone share this pain?
Does anyone feel the same?

War Within
Viral Apr 2016
Everyday is, the same old fight
Wandering mind, won't alight
Befuddled emotions, I cannot indite
Find myself, in a sorry plight
Lay deadbeat, as my demons smite
Rest in bleak ashes of blight
Broken, fallen, abjected outright

Lost in chaos
Viral May 2016
The voices in my head
They speak all the time
I know them all so well
They complain, they whine
Yet amongst the sneaky *******
I know not, Which ones mine

Plea of despair
Viral Apr 2016
Don't want fortunes
Don't want fame
Turn off the lights
Erase my name

Give me peace
Give me my rest
Let me cry in my cocoon
Let me hide in my nest

I'll bury my desires
I'll forget my goals
I'll cover those eyes
I'll dream no more

Summon your mental defences
Free all the neurons
Numb all the senses
Let the thoughts pass by
Abandon all emotions
Ignore it all
Emergencies are notions
Stop with the worries
Your mind is not defective
You just need some some sleep
And the morning's fresh perspective

Why, When, How

The Why is beyond me
The When comes one day at a time
The How is what I'm here for

You do not surprise me
Viral Mar 2020
Nothing you say surprises me
Don't be mistaken
I'm not reducing the depth of you
But layer after layer
the more you reveal yourself
the more I realize, I know you
I have always known you
The first time I saw you
I felt like I have known you,
I had never met you
but I have always known you.
You are no enigma, no mystery
You are comforting and familiar
You are warmth of my home
You are peace of my mind
The kind that silences
the loud noises in my head
You do not surprise me
You cannot surprise me
Because you are part of me
And that's how I know you

Holding my own heart
Viral Apr 2020
My dear O dear
I humbly request
Be done with your flings
And your silly affairs
We have history to write
And a story to start
Come and join me
You need to play your part
I'm getting a bit lonely
Holding my own heart

Inevitable failure
Viral Mar 2020
Bewitching eyes,
Sinful smile,
and those Beautiful lips;
Distract me from keeping up,
with the words coming out of it.
The more i look,
the more i lose
myself in them.
Tempted to lean in,
follow the impulses,
Cross the lines
of sanity.
But i resist.
Logic tethers my instincts
Mind holds back my heart
Reality ends my daydream.
Waking me up
back to your words
back to your eyes
back to your lips,
and the cycle goes on

— The End —
