Dare you give-up

They’ll say you can’t do it. They’ll say it’s not meant for you. They’ll force to decide it for you… your life, your choices, your destiny. They’ll promise it’s best for you. They’ll warn that if you don’t follow, you’ll terribly fall. Which (anyways) you’ll; everyone does. Then they’ll say it’s over, you’re over.  …

Getting there

Arms open my heart would quake for your warmth. Hands would shake for I’ve lost a million beats. You might hesitate to look in my damp eyes, but I’ll be confident, ’cause I’ve learned to lie.   A heart is shaped by both love and thunder. What’s wrong with me you might still wonder. I…

Meh

This season I’ll be a little bit off the grid.From afar I may seem solid, but I’ll be liquid.You always say meh when I get enthusiastic.So, I’ll be trying hard containing all hydraulic fluid. Wires in my head tangle, they entwinewhen I look at your picture, I think of wine.I’m maybe a time-bound scratch-card,never will…

Sunset for two

I wrote a bit of something in the air with a little more love and a little more care.
I wish that you don’t, but if you feel alone, open your eyes, look around and behold.
We got carried away with our lives, fallen behind from keeping tracks. We can still whisper our messages and say our prayers.

Sound and Safe

The wind here is wet. The sound of your sweet nothings is silent. My world is a bit tarnished. They say you’re vanished. I search around the house thinking you would be hiding behind a curtain. I’m almost certain. I’m stuck in this time, on this planet, but my mind travels through time. We played…

Could be us

You see these birds. This could be us. Floating in air without a fuss about what’s ridiculous. We would brush our pointy beaks, understand each other even before we would speak, and shit on people we didn’t like. I could teach you to spread your wings and aim to soar high. Together we would discover…

Just good friends

She lies to my face. She says it’s been one hundred days since she kissed a boy. I dive in her eyes. I clearly see the lies, but I feel electricity travelling in my bones. She sucks her bottom lip, suggesting a distant dream. I don’t know what’s going on in her mind, but I’m…

Shaken

My feathers get sharper in hurricanes, but I create troubles for myself in my brain. I’m notorious for seclusion, but when it comes to passion I’ve earned myself some fame. I fly up to the moon and fall back in rain. I’m locked in paradox; I have no one to blame. I dream of you…

World upside down

She ran behind ducklings. She had a heart of pulp. She had a face of heart. She had a purple tongue. She was a work of art. She was the princess of her town. She saw the world upside down. She loved Motordrome. She loved looping cars. She often made her face. She smelled old…

The Idea of You – V

Hold your peachy face in my hands. Rub my thumbs a little around your blush. Kiss you just a little so we both shudder, and trace the anatomy of your jawline and ears. Squeeze a little your neck in my grasp. Feel your smooth skin hiding hard collarbones. Draw one broken heart on your chest,…

Iceberg

I am re-posting this poem from last year. Read it first without the parts in brackets, then everything together. Let me know your thoughts when you’re done reading. Enjoy! I am romanticized as modern-day hot blond from chick romantic comedies. I am (sarcastic as) butt-throbbing (spankings). I am characterized as sweet & delicate cotton-candies, and…

Dreams of rain

My words, I write them on a leaf, and eat back again. It hurts, so much I don’t want to sleep, and wake-up again. Sweet love, I wish to choke you in your sleep, or pop your brain. So numb, I want to stick a knife in my throat, and feel the pain. Enough, I…

Blood between lines

I’ve been missing your malevolent taunts. It’s been, darling, a long time. The way you would say always nasty things when often my words rhymed. You would make fun of it when you’re with your friends. It would break me down, but I smile; the cycle never ends. Then I would burn my poems, and…

Too dumb to be important

We’ve always been hopeless, and now our usual blue, clamped overhead with gazillion thumbtacks, has fallen upon us like an enormous canopy. The pale blue, an overlooked wound, we were too proud to not have, spews us with some more gray. We’ve started to believe this canopy is too big too thick for us to…

No

I say ‘no’; you say ‘yes’. I say ‘not now’; you say ‘oh, yes’. I say ‘wait’; you say ‘no’. I see your mouth, I say ‘okay’. I say ‘down’; you say ‘up’. I say ‘no’; you say ‘yes’. I say ‘but’; you say ‘up!’, I see your eyes, I say ‘okay’. I say ‘safe?’;…

One fine kiss

I’m high, but can you please clarify, why do you slip your tongue in my mouth, when you have to act so shy? If this is how you take control, then please know, it works like charm. If it’s some game, then darling you win. If it’s a litmus test, know that it’s all red;…

I’m fine

The tiny, half heart sizzles and burns on my wrist the other half of which you got erased. I think I’ll take some pills to sleep a little. I don’t remember when I last slept; must have been days. I stalk you on Instagram, I’m sorry, but the lilt and glee in your stories I…

Telepathy

It’s difficult to comprehend the gist of my mood. Feels like I was sliced in half, and glued again. My nerves stitched down by someone naïve. I am little bit upset, but that’s insignificant. I lie next to you, close enough to feel your breath, but too far away to touch, as if my limbs…

Unfinished – VI

A queen of sensational beginnings as if she walked with a background score. Her oomph pushed the ceilings, her stride shook the floor. She showed her skin, and died a little inside. She craved for a humble home beyond sparkling lights. Her roots withered; her chin hit the ground. No one heard her howls even…

Doomsday Fantasy

Caught in a doomsday fantasy as fear grabs me a little tighter a sweet twinge of pleasure turns death into a doting sweetheart. Prayers suck the air of my lungs, all hopes shake and wither, infected lover awaits at the door as I gasp and choke in my home. I cover my ears from his…
