Tight—gasp
For air
Eyes
Burn—face

Thoughts-
WORTHLESS
EXPENDABLE
PATHETIC-
Loop
The lies/TRUTH

Holding
my breath,
My body
becomes
a trap
too tight

Someone loves me and he cares
Someone loves me and he’s kind
Someone loves me and he doesn’t swear
Someone loves me and we live our lives intertwined

How desperately I wish this was true—  
But alas one can only dream

He loves me like how the stars love the moon
He loves me like the seas love the sand
His fingers glide along the guitar, playing a tune
His ideas— so big they expand over lands

How desperately I wish this was true—  
But alas one can only dream

His scalloped finger tips skim over my books
Admiring detailed spines, childlike wonder in his eyes
My heart skips at the sight of his good looks
His eyes are midnight blue like the evening skies

How desperately I wish this was true—  
But alas one can only dream

He calls me the love of his life.
I beg him not to wait—go live your life.
But he smiles, says, “You are my life.”
And just like that, I ache to be his wife.

How desperately I wish this was true—  
But alas one can only dream

Outside my window
Dark wings go flitting by
Like a shadowy great hand
I sit looking out, and inside I cry
A darkness is growing in this land
From the evil of men

To hear,
Catch sound
In flight.
A whisper,
A hum,
Day or night.

Listening digs,
Heart's core.
Empathy blooms,
Understanding soars.

Hear is
Catching sound,
Fleeting, clear.
Listening’s connection
Truly sincere.
Paths diverge,
Surface-bound,
Listening dives,
Truths found.

Beautifully entrapped in our bodies.
Bounded with Constraints.
Thinking we are free.  

Wandering across the Universe.
Earth being one of its Stop.
Some stay for long
While others escape fast.

I stare at stars waiting patiently,
For it to come to me as it blinks,
Through My eyes which is humid,
I wait in the dry wind.
I stood up tired , as I wait the
Clouds to be  cleared , and the stars
It Hid,
I want the stars again to shine
And the moon to dwell the sky as it
Caress it , all I do now is longing for
Peace that bestowed once upon me !
