Vapourise poems on Hello Poetry

Arvind Krish Apr 2016

Dirt, Dirt, Dirt
The brook flows bound to wastes

Cut, Cut, Cut
The fallen trees they shed

****, ****, ****
The animals roasted in fire.

Smoke, Smoke, Smoke
The grey turned air sneeze

Blast, Blast, Blast
The wrecks of once mighty peaks

Dry, Dry, Dry
The last drop water vapourise

War, War, War
Men pierce hearts and blood

Throw, Throw, Throw
food ever to be scarce

Explode, Explode, Explode
The radium bursting the cells

Invent, Invent ,Invent
all that earth never wanted

Destroy, Demolish ,Doom
until the last life turns solid

Bleed, Bleed, Bleed
Earth you are never more alive.

For mankind was never
to be a savior
Never to be an angel
But to be the mark of doom.

YOU & ME

A girl loves a boy,
He too loves her,
They get Warm being each other's sun,
And if its winter, together they stir.

It all started by him with a hi,
And his second sentence was, "I love you."
Obviously it was a scary surprise for her, hahaha
Her "oh" expression, he wished if he could see, her confused hue.

She said, "I can't see it happen between us",
Didnt matter, even the intense Claim,
A girl he always longed for, in her, he would see,
And couldnt take it when the distance came.

But then didnt know how that happened,
Maybe really Love travels through air,
She called him one day after 2160 hours,
And after few months, had been considered all his prayers.

They kissed while the sun rose,
Everyone asked, "why the smile, without any reason.?",
They cuddled together when the moon came,
Love enhancing with the changing seasons.

In between, came a destructive lightening,
And it hit amidst their legs, while they stood in rain,
Fire was raging hot to vapourise the shelter,
And this time came that painful distance again.

Temper was at its peak on his mind,
Tears were shed by her at night,
Their world seemed to be so dull at that time,
Even the Pain felt the guilt, for its action, by that sight.

And then that happened which was meant to,
Because Love always finally wins,
She pushed ******* him while, with all his force, he tried to pull her in,
Sunlight with mild mist made them realise,
That love was now about to pour down from the brim.

Then they hugged again and lips of theirs clinged,
To lead a new life in the nova's glow,
She said, "I knew you would come again for me"
He replied, "And I knew that you would never go".

Depressed, is he?

Oh come sit,
let me tell you the story of this little child
whom i met not so long ago
and i remember him well in my mind.
his name but, i do not know
i surely did ask, but a smile is what he returned,
his face, he keeps a smile on it
and he smiles at everyone but him,
his eyes said, he had something to tell
but he seemed to speak little.
to me however, he did speak
nodded and smiled and told me things
and must i say, he knew
more than what his innocence should have let him;
forbidden knowledge, he did share with me some things.
but mostly he talked, of the beauty of death
and how dearly he wanted to dance with her,
he told me about a pillow so soft
on which he lays down not to sleep.
he thinks and thinks and thinks, things
he should not
they crawl out and vapourise out on his face
and in his mind he thinks again, "why should i,
live?"
and i dare not speak a lie,
death never seemed so beautiful
before i met this child
and engrossed i was in his words
(he spoke more than he usually does, that day)
but soon realised, i had works to do
before people can tell me what should i do
so i smiled back at the child and walked away from the mirror.

i meet him everyday, this little child,
he smiles and nods and seems fine.

Familiar Stranger

He’s a familiar stranger in an unfamiliar town
Silent as a sunbeam as he spreads his light around
Sometimes he’s reflected in a puddle on the street
His image a projection of the people he will meet
Sometimes when he smiles it’s like the sun is coming out
Sometimes when he winks at you, your troubles and your doubt
Vapourise like steam upon wet washing as you sing
As you dance away your worries, finding joy in everything
Unsullied by that hammer that lies deep inside your head
That wakes you much too early, yet makes you stay in bed
He’s like the horse you’d like to ride if you had a free rein
To be the one you thought you were, and can be once again
Thought or feelings start to bring the message loud and clear
As he dissipates your cares and woe, eradicates your fear
Bringing freedom with the laughter there can really be no doubt
As he covers you with giggling spray the magic gushes out
This familiar stranger in an unfamiliar town
Has been here for a thousand years, sometimes lost, sometimes found
In the glimmer of a street lamp when the moonlight chases day
In the whistle of a morning train speeding on its way
Silent as a sunbeam as he spreads his light around
This familiar stranger in this unfamiliar town
Is as precious as a sparkling jewel, glimpsed darkly through a prism
Familiar stranger giving birth to optimism
Me and thee would be so glad, we go so well together
Familiar stranger; will you stay with me.... forever?

— The End —
