Vishal Gupta: Poems

Watering only makes the
withered blossoms, fresh again.
While, watering a fresh
one makes it decay. soon.

It's important to wear out.
sometimes.
In order to bloom again.

You (a shadow)...

Vishal Gupta Jan 2018

You (a shadow)...

By the time
I've read you.
completely
and gave you
my whole.

It was only
night. all over.
and you were
not there. then

- you (a shadow)

You make me feel seasons...

Vishal Gupta Dec 2017

You make me feel seasons...

Without you each season feels like Autumn. to me.
With you even Autumn turns into Spring.

(Seasons you make me feel)

You opt to...

Vishal Gupta Jan 2018

You opt to...

my darkness
falls vulnerable.
against the shine.
of your eyes.

but you opt
to keep them
close.

the cacophony
eco less. in mind
against the chaos
of yours.

but you opt
to keep yourself
silent.

Your essence...

Vishal Gupta Nov 2017

Your essence...

My words somehow manage to
wrap themselves in your essence.
I no more wonder why they seem
so beautiful to me. always.

Your silence...

Vishal Gupta Feb 2018

Your silence...

I wonder if
your silence.
is affixed to
my chaos.

Each time
you impose
your silence
on me.

It triggers
my chaos.
putting stop
to my calm.

Then i drown
and drown,
and drown,
into restlessness.
