Winter penetrated inside me
Turning my vision misty
My eyes became fixated
Upon the endless snow
That shrouded the lush greens
The frigid gales lacerated me
Carved wounds upon my pale skin
Crippled every inch of my body
And I cried for warmth
To melt this blood
that had condensed and congealed upon me
At last the tides of salubrity came
with the radiant waters of spring
And I watched them baffled
As they washed over me
The thorns of ice protruding from my skin
Trickled away without resisting a bit
Never could I fathom
How a ferocious ball of fire
Possessed an incredible ability to heal
With such a dexterity
I affiliated its searing flames with destruction
But it turned an arctic heart
About to succumb under talons of grief
Back Into a supple muscle
Rippling under a rhythmic beat
chiseled it further
So it remained insulated from future calamity
I just needed to wait and believe
Something better was meant for me

In the midst of
Many powerful
Shrewd
Sharp
And loud voices
You suddenly
forgot
That your soft
Tender
And tranquil voice
Was worthy of
Being heard
And capable enough
To form
A sound opinion

The sparkling
summer skies
Changed into
Thundering red clouds
In your eyes
And the autumnal warmth
Of your smile
Changed into
A lacerating
ice-cold frown
And all of a sudden
That year
An unanticipated
bitterly cold winter
Left me shivering
And gasping for
a temporary respite

In an eerie silence
As the clock strikes 3
And the roaring black clouds
Pile atop each other
The coffin lids
of unmarked graves
Slowly open with a
Lamenting refrain
From its shadowy
soggy depths
Rises skeletal hands and legs
With ***** cobwebs
Tangled between their
Piercing bony fingers
And as the wind begins
To wail and howl
And the drooping willows
Begin to weep and sob
These restless
tormented spirits
Commence their march
To find those who
Sliced their life in half
Before they could ever hear
Their roll call from above

//

If ever you find yourself
Awake at this witching hour
And hear the distressing
disembodied cries
Of these wounded souls
From somewhere outside
Your doors
While everyone else
In your house
is warm under the blanket
of a sound repose
And your eyes become
Red with terror and dread
While your heart
Races at a perilous pace
Leaving trails of a fetid sweat
All over the skin of
your strained muscles
Then you should be
Thoroughly aware of the
Spine-tingling truth
That those bellowing revenants
Are hunting for
Someone just like you
Would you now
like to finally confess
That you committed
An unforgiving offence
Cause they will come again
Every night
they wont rest
Until they find you
Somehow
How long can you
Hope to hide inside
Its time for you
To say goodbye to life

The aching brambles of this eternity
Pierce and rip through me mercilessly Tangled between their
inextricably intricate knots
I howl and scream indefinitely
Only to find my desperate voice
Get repeatedly trapped and ensnared within
It's razor sharp bars
And become evidently inept to turn into
A choral symphony
Buried beneath it's empty, vacant
Yet unflinching and determined grip
I struggle and strive to remember
Those dreams that caressed me
Long ago
With a vision that was blissfully distinct
and immeasurably distant than
The endless phases and facets of life
That now surround and besiege me
How can I freeze and pause
This ever-growing loop of perpetuity
Without waiting and wondering about
A constantly flickering yet elusive end
That too,
Refuses to cradle and embrace me
Wholeheartedly

This nauseating feeling
Of insignificance
Has turned my mind
Into an asylum of sorts
Where I am the only qualified doctor
Giving myself a false diagnosis
All the **** time

When i begin to wilt
Do sprinkle some words
Of hope upon my skin
Let a slender ray of kindness
Caress the lids
Of my downcast eyes
And try to spend some time
By my side
Making me realize
How im getting stronger
With every passing moment
In time
With such precious
and tender caring
Soon you'll see me
Bloom into a
Breathtakingly beautiful flower
That'll sway with the melodic wind
Shining with glee

A crisp cold day
Reluctantly makes way
For a pale spectral evening
Whose sky isn't willingly beaming
With even a single drop of star
That may rest like a victorious scar
Upon the dim dull curtains of a night
That seem to be enticed by nothing bright
Except dusting the landscape all around
With a deluge of derisive winds that hound
A mighty silence
And an aggravated sentience
Tonight

I'm delighted
To welcome you
Into my world
Follow me
As i stumble my way
Through the
splendid tapestry
Of vastly intricate labyrinths
In my mind
Walk tenderly
Holding my hand
through the
Melodically creaking corridors
In my heart
And feel the
Cooling atlantic currents
That may slightly dishevel
Your well groomed countenance
Standing within the
silent chambers
Of my soul
But before you
Turn to leave
Please don't forget
To tell me
If you'd like to
Visit again someday
Perhaps stay
For an extended period
Of time
Can i conjure
A blissful possibility
This time

I'm tragically alone
In the bed
Of my own desires
Which shrieks
And groans
Under my weight
And the piercing sound
Of its cries
Richochets ceaselessly
Off the gray walls
That incarcerates
My restless body
And brutally
afflicts me
With an excruciating pain
Is this the fate
To which i'm bound
To slowly rot
And woefully succumb
Staring at the
Surreal visage
Of my unfulfilled wishes
With wrinkled eyes
On the sunken
Ceiling above
Or will i hear
A muffled knock
On the rusted doors
And a balmy fragrance
Of blissful serendipity
Would gently renew
My weary senses
And slacken
The reluctant grip
Of resignation
Seizing my muscles
I wish i knew
I really do

Your brazen silence became roaring
And my thunderous thoughts became silent
Quietly dripping upon a blank canvas

You may have
the most breathtaking
Almond brown eyes
Glistening with the warmth
Of a sparkling summer dawn
But I can only see them
Brimming with infidelity and deciet
Most of the time
You may have
The most charming
Genuinely sweet smile
Exuding a comfort
That would make me forget
All the unpleasant thoughts
But I can only see
An ingratiating leer
Stuck upon your face
With a titanium bond
You may possess
The voice that makes my heart throb
The words you speak
May stir and rouse
My slaughtered hopes
But all that I hear
Everytime that I try
To envisage
an imminent possibility
Of us
Are the painful shrieks
Of grievous wounds
That I acquired
in the name of love
And their thick scars
That time refuses to erode
From the seams of my heart
Perpetually rendering
Your tireless endeavors
To embrace my soul
With an abiding affection
Indelibly futile

In my dream
I'll be the one you'll be holding tonight
Slowly filling me with ecstasy
My eyes will be turning misty with joy
You'll see
How every tremble
every shiver
emanating from my body
Will sob your name
My sighs will turn to  moans
With every kiss that you'll planting
On the slopes of my skin
With our fingers intertwined
And your warm breath caressing my spine
You'll be making promises of forever
And I'll be smiling with delight
As the starlight envelopes us
I'll gather the courage to tell you
That which I could only write about
you'll pull me closer
And with the sunrise
I won't be leaving your side
As you'll be ready to tell the world
That I'm yours
And you are mine
In my dream tonight
Instead of her
Your lips would be pressed against mine

Those distant leaden cirrus clouds
Do not resemble your wild curls anymore
That midnight smell of vanilla and lavender in my backyard
Does not make me want to drive up to your house and nestle between the freshly showered perfumed folds of your skin like before
The ocean no longer reminds me of your eyes
And I've become careful enough to resist myself
From diving into a sparkling pool of lies
Your voice does not reside
in the cradle of my heart
like it used to
Wine and mushy cookies
no longer make me hungry
for you like before
What actually resembles us now
Are these ashes from my half finished cigarette
Slowly falling on the floor
It's smoke that I inhale
And this burn in my chest
Along with these memories
that I regret I made
With someone like you

They rose with their toes awash in snow
Breathing the crisp cool air
Their hands filled with icy crystals
Ready to ***** fat little snowmens
But that was decades ago
When the seasons repeated themselves
In a cyclical pattern
But now it hardly snows
It's getting warmer each year
And winter feels so balmy
That we barely need to cover ourselves
With  beanies and sweatshirts anymore
But this isn't how it's supposed to work we know
this is a just a silent warning
That something's wrong with mother nature
We need to open our eyes and listen to her woes
The air no longer invigorates us
It chokes us
Cause it's packed with emissions
As poisonous as cigarette smoke
A grey smog of toxic fumes traps the city
in a web of darkness
Obliterating the beauty of nature
Making us sick
The moment we step outside of our homes
Yet we turn a blind eye
And a deaf ear
To these explicit red signs of trouble
We dream of visiting gorgeous locales
Capturing the beauty of majestic snow capped mountains
But never do we dream
Of the imminent catastrophic collapse
That'll sweep us away
If we forget to get up and act
To save our planet
And thus save ourselves
From being wiped away
soon

The chair that you rendered
Permanently empty
So suddenly
and unintentionally
Without any prior warning
That would have given me
A moment's worth of time
To prepare my heart and mind
Not to succumb
In the depths of
the excruciating void
Of your aching absence
From my life
Still sits
At the solitary corner
Of our house
Hopelessly wondering
If you really wanted to leave
Without saying
a goodbye

Maybe we shouldn't try to quit
Those typical habits of ours
Which makes them smile
and shake their head
With affection
Maybe we should try more often
To touch those topics
In conversations
That makes them relive
A delightful moment in time
Maybe we shouldn't get
Too busy too often
That they're forced to share
With silence
the things that they want to share
Only with us
Maybe we should try our best
Not to become
A memory
During the time that we have
To spend with them..

I passed by the house
I once stayed
Amid tall trees and Verdant grass
Where I once played
Although Covered in dust and rust
It looked the same
And I felt the cool wind envelope me
Like a mother's embrace
As I stepped upon the soft ground
Where my youth was spent
An avalanche of memories
Came crashing down
Feeding my parched longing for yore
And all I did was let it pour

The radiance
Of your smile
Defies the need
For an elegant
Porch light
To brighten
The starless skies
Or the need
Of a beaming sun
To soften a
Frosty dawn
I just wish
That in your
luminous eyes
I could
someday find
A pleasing evidence
That'll make me
Hopefully surmise
That a few
Of those glittering
days and nights
I could happily
Spend by your side

Let us sit
Beneath a rosy sunset
And fall like petals
Into each others arms
Let a silken breeze
Caress our skin
And carry away our resentments
To a distant land
Let the starlit sky
Dazzle us tonight
Let the flaxen beam
Of a resplendent moon
Hypnotise us
So we can see galaxies
In each others eyes
Let the music of our heart beats
Suffuse a tranquil silence
And make us smile in delight
Lay beside me
On a soft grass
Let our fingers
Touch for a while
So we can sense
That everything's alright
Before we drift into
A haven of pleasantly vivid dreams
Made up of you and I
And wake up
To find ourselves
Forgetting
To say goodbye

Life is beautiful
But it isn't always
A winking fairytale dream
dazzling perfect and colorful
Sometimes it's lustre
Gets easily obscured
Under the leaden clouds
Of misery and sorrow
At that time
Everywhere you'll find
Murky shadows of despair and gloom
While your happiness will become a diminutive entity
Smaller than the size of your thumb
Do not abandon hope at that time
For these sunless days aren't meant to be eternal
Try to believe even if it seems incredible
That better days are hidden in the future
Soon you'll witness a miracle
From the black horizon a light would flicker
With a divine celestial strength
It'll pierce through the sadness
That had torn you asunder
Wilted smiles will bloom
Vacant eyes will shine
With an excitement
you've never been felt before
Dawn will no longer scare you
Night will no longer become your refuge
When that day comes you will realize
Life is really quite unpredictable
It isn't a fairytale exactly
It isn't a nightmare for sure
I think it's still a mystery
That precisely lies somewhere in between

Our recent conversation
Swelled my heart with solace
I needed to talk
So the crackling silence of the night
Amplified by the relentless pulsating of the clock
Wouldn't keep me awake
Even though you didn't utter a single word
I felt content in believing
That you were indeed listening
With a ferocious attention
And an ardent curiosity
that furnished me with ample strength
To keep going
Without gasping for breath
Or clearing my throat
I drenched the moonlit air between us
With infinite words
divulged my heartfelt thoughts
And deep accumulated emotions
Making sure that you heard every one of them
Cause you understand me like no one else
Until the layers of ephemeral night
Receded and waned your glistening silhoute
I never stopped to hear your imperceptible replies
It was only when a gilded light
Warmed my skin and hugged me tight
I realized you were nowhere in sight
Perhaps you had gone to your home
But I forgot to tell you
I will be waiting eagerly
To talk to you again tonight

If I could
I would have
Undoubtedly
Decapitated this
Irredeemable longing
In a gruesome manner
Long ago
But I've never been
The strong or potent one
Ever
And In the sunless hollows
Of my broken and
Flimsy bones
I still slip
Slivers of strangled hopes
which although
Have breathed their last
Seasons ago
Yet their charred remains
Sluggishly fuel
My painfully exhausted
And perplexed self
To keep on weaving listlessly
Porcelain skinned dreams
With trembling hands
And don a glowing countenance
When their shattered and
razor sharp edges
Inflict countless wounds
On every inch
Of my scarred flesh
And bleeds out
The residual drops
Of perseverence
From my essence
Leaving me to start
From scratch
Once again

outside my window
I see the setting sun wave me goodbye
It's salmon and scarlet hues
Sketch a beautiful sky
I see a silver balloon
Oh it's a shining moon
Like a young lissome lass
It rises up languidly from the horizon
To light up a sky
about to succumb to the dark
I blink once
And see a solitary star
I blink twice
And see countless stars
Flickering like fireflies
They adorn the world around me
Like a garland of glittering fairy lights
I smell the sweet delicate scent of lilacs and magnolias
The wind wears their perfume
And giggles and tickles across my skin
The moonlight plays with starlight
Upon a velvet stage
leaving me mesmerized
Outside my window at night
Nature becomes paradise
A beauty is being weaved
With such an artistry
It'll leave you spellbound

Even in a stygian
cloudy night
I'll search for
A single flickering
streetlight
And with its
Shadowy glare
I'll find a
radiant star
Somehow
That would
Make you
Wish and hope
That everything
Will be alright
If not today
Then tomorrow
I'm sure

With iridescent eyes and bewitching smile
Your vision warms these wintry nights
And though I try not to fall into the same groove
Still I sink in a bed of ambrosial dreams about you
You grace me with your ample presence
Without fear I confess that I'm drawn to your essence
These pining heartstrings strum your name
Their hopeless yearning's too strong to be maimed
Yet the jarring reality strikes me hard with daybreak
I realise the futility of coveting you as I wake
In your eyes I'll never see a longing to hold me close
But I'll keep craving you despite knowing there's no hope
Why is it so incredibly hard for you to love me
Why is it so incredibly easy for me to keep falling for you selflessly

No one is chasing you
You're chasing that
Which is momentary
You're chasing those
Who aren't exceptional
Those that are mortals
Just like you
Does that which you chase
Follows you back
Or is it a one sided pursuit
That takes your energy time and again
A hunt which makes you believe
That maybe if you succeed
in catching that which you covet
Then something which you dream about
Will become a delightful reality
And you will be standing on the threshold
Of something new
A chase to find a new way
A race to discover a new place
A hunt to unearth a route
Which could erase the remains
Of that which is bound to stay
A pursuit for lasting bliss
Anything rather than nothing
Which will never chase you back
In this universe which is driven by
Utter changelessness

Can you look beneath the surface
Beyond the meticulously painted
canvas of my face
You see me smile
Can you still say
There's something that I hide
You hear me talk a lot lately
Can you still tell
There's even more on my mind
But I never let it
slip out of my mouth
Inside these hazel brown
Mascara Laden eyes
Can you see the melancholic clouds
Sometimes sailing by
Can you hold me then
And whisper gently
That whenever it'll rain
You'll be around
Just in case I get too wet
I can take shelter in your house
Can you try look past my facade
Inside the window of my soul
Find out what's buried within
And then let me know
Will you stay
Or will you leave

You are the star
That I seek
Whenever I'm drowning
In the murky depths
Of a dark turbulent sea
When the pale moonlight
Fades between the stormy skies
And Im caught in the undertow
Desperately struggling
To find a way out
That's when I look up for you
With desperate eyes
And there you are
Wearing that same stoical smile
Shining like a diamond
Brighter than the sun
The divinity that you exude
Gives me  infinite strength
You illuminate my path
When shadows become bigger than before
With your radiant coruscations
You gently guide me ashore

You scratched
Me with your
Lesser love
And its stubborn
Painful scars
Continued to
Brutally remind me
For the longest
Period of time
About the presence
Of a fatal flaw
Within my system
That rendered me
As an
Ineligible seeker
For an unconditional
Infinite love

Let me slam the doors
And yell do not disturb me tonight
As I stumble back to my bed
And see my demons slither out of my mind
I promise I will smile tomorrow
But tonight these tears are stinging my eyes
Let them flow like a roaring rain
Let the constant drizzle
become a heavy downpour
Let my bruises bleed
I don't need bandages to bind my wounds so tight
I will revive by tomorrow
But tonight just let me struggle to survive
Let me toss and turn
And fall to splinters amid the dark night
You won't have to see this mess
I will be fixed and polished by the morning light
Let me pulverize
As I become powerless tonight

Beneath my painted skin
Caramel brown eyes
Lined precisely with a black ink
Flicked at the end
Forming the most exquisite wing
Roseate lips coloured with an oxblood maroon
A peachy radiance
Emanating from the apples of my cheeks
There's a heart
Tenderly beating
And a soul
That desires love
Try to look beneath
And reach for it
Rather than gaping and grabbing a corner of my surface
Which causes nothing but sheer pain in me

When the dusk
Grazes our back
We'll hold hands
And slowly undress
our deepest fears and endless doubts
And the things that make us frown
Toss them out like dust
Into the leaden sky above
And wait for the strongest wind
To take them away from us
In the darkness of the night
Perhaps in a very long while
We'll feel our chaos abate
And a long lost sense of ease
Will truly gratify our senses
As the clock ticks
And a chirping dawn
gently unwinds  itself
Perhaps we'll greet
our feathered friends
With a grin
That we hid
For so long
And didn't even knew
Was as wide
As this neverending universe

I'm reluctant to admit
That these curtains of flesh
Hide static empty rooms
The cold hard floors of which
Have shrieked with so much pain
When thick calloused feet
Trudged shamelessly upon it
That a timeless ache
Now reverberates constantly
From its sodden interiors
I'm reluctant to admit
That the numerous clusters
Of sparkling galaxies
Which used to shimmer and shine
Resplendently within me
Have been swallowed
Veritably
By a ruthless black hole
Which has rendered their shine
Imperceptibly weak
I'm reluctant to admit
That I've slowly become
a pale ghost
Of who I once used to be
And so I'm always afraid
To admit distressingly
That you will never
be able to find
The epitome of
A happily ever after
That you so desire
To seek in me

You withered my skin
Slowly and gently
By throwing countless stones
At me
Tenderly but frequently
To remind me
Endlessly
That I was always
an entirely
inadequate entity
But when I wilted
completely
And all of my energy
Perished utterly
And the stones that you
Never stopped hurling at me
Ceased to hurt
My immobile body
You did
What you intended to do
Since the beginning
You left
Leaving me curled
Into a ball of
Absolutely nothing

I still believe that we'll meet again
Maybe in another life,we'll find each other again
/
With open arms we'll greet each other soon
Without any doubt,we'll embrace each other again
/
Together we'll swim against the tides of fate
From the spears of grief and sorrow,we'll save each other again
/
Under the bright skies of fulfilled dreams
we'll forge new bonds of love for each other again
/
Lets spend this life learning from our irrevocable mistakes
Trust me,in another life we'll never say goodbye to each other again

Take me
Trace constellations upon my skin
But do not pull your hand away
When your fingers brush against the dark uneven skin of my scars
Try to ask the story behind them
Do not tell me about different ways to make them fade
They are a testimony of my strength rather than my frailty
And I don't mind their presence
Even if they aren't pleasing to look at
Kiss my fingers slowly
But don't squint at the sight of my chipped nail polish
And don't drop my hand
When you notice that my nails are bitten to the core
And the skin around it is colored with dried blood
I know it doesn't look pretty at all
And im trying hard to stop it
But my mind seems to have a mind of its own that overpowers me most of the times
Do not tell me that Im in dire need of a manicure
Ask me about the things that trouble me so
And assure me
It'll get better
No need to worry at all
Dive deep into my eyes
Note how my pupils expand and contract
I know there is too much puffiness and darkness around it
But try to ignore it and try to read the message written for you upon it
Do not tell me that I need to sleep more or stop drinking so much caffeine at a time
Trust me
I sleep more than usual
Just not at the usual time
Just hold me and let me burrow my head in your chest
Ensure me again and again
That you're with me always
You won't stop loving me at all

I feel ashamed
When i see the extent of damage
That you've inflicted on my heart
There are too many splits and cracks
Too many irreparable fractures and fissures
From twisting and tossing it like a ball
Too many gashes from words
With edges as sharp as an exceptionally chiseled sword
Which will take a lifetime to heal
I wish I could say that my heart has become an extremely fragile entity now
But you've actually rendered it obsolete
No longer capable of loving anyone
Nor being loved by anyone due to its pulverized condition

Your artistic soul is boundless
Speckled with a multitude of words sparkling like pearly dew drops
On  Verdant sunlit greens
Under a soft blue sky
Resonating with the jubilant chorus of a thousand cheerful birds
The air ripe with a citrus lemony scent
Your beautifully crafted words like vibrant sun-kissed flowers adorning the canvas of a rustic landscape in hues of scarlet salmon and lilac
The balmy breeze gently whispers your riveting love songs in my ears
Titillating me playfully
As the season beckons our love to unfurl
And my longing heart ardently beats your name
My spring love
Take me home

You made me believe
That i could never be happy without you
When in reality
I could have been reeling in euphoric joy without you
I talked a lot but you only heard what you wanted to hear
And skillfully evaded questions that would have lead to a confrontation
Cause you'd got no answers no response
Nothing you could say
To justify this unfair game you played
You reaped some obvious benefits from me
Like i was your last resort
A functional substitute that you used
When all your options stagnated any particular day
I was never someone you would have chosen willingly
And i was aching to become your primary priority
Sweating over your trivial issues
Thinking twice before replying you
So it never occured to you
That i was sad hurt and frustrated with you
Before leaving you
I thought about a thousand reasons
And fervently hoped
That atleast one of them would make me turn and i would come running back to you
But you'd exhausted all possibilities
Which finally made me realize
That i could never hope to be happy with you
And i was getting frail day by day
In pretending that i was on cloud nine with you
When actually i was nowhere near it
I had sunk into the depths
Of an inky black abyss
That grew cavernous
And threatened to engulf me anyday
If i didnt ran away from you

When I was a child,I used to laugh endlessly
And when I cried,I never cared who was around me
/
When I was a child,I was the apple of everyone's eyes
And I kept smiling,as I never cared to find anything other than joy around me
/
When I grew up, I began to laugh periodically
And I never cried before scanning the premises around me
/
When I grew up, I became a reason behind many furrows and frowns
Cause even though I kept smiling,I kept finding reasons to hate everyone around me

A resplendent moon
Bequeaths an enchanting night
The silken dark skies
Glimmer and gleam
When the stars flicker
And a beautiful silence
Feels velvety soft against my skin
A  humming breeze
Soaked with a scent of vibrant night blooms
Kisses my cheeks tenderly
And gently persuades me
To fall in bed and dream
As the silvery sound of nocturnal Symphony
Drifting through the open window
tries to lull me into a deep sleep
Washing the dusty remnants of a long day
From by body aching for just a few hours
Of  peaceful repose
Before a blazing sun
Blights this soporific ambiance
But the heavy gusts of thoughts
Raging inside the walls of my mind
Vehemently oppose and assault
Even a transient rule of silence
And the view
Of the imminent day becomes smaller and smaller
Through the vision
Of my swollen eyes

That rustling
Leafy canopy
Still shines
Like a famous painting
In the hues of a
Vibrant autumn
It hasn't stopped
sheltering smiling
And sad faces
Without any obligation
Yet
The placid waters
Of that sun speckled lake
Still reflect
iridescent rainbows
Even after torrential
Bouts of rains
They always find a way
To look beyond the
Clouds of gray
And the sky still reverberates
With the songs
Of halcyon winds
They never let
The silence stretch
Endlessly for an eternity
There
Believe me
The only thing
That has
Steadily changed
With time
Is that we've
Become too busy
In our lives
And have slowly forgotten
That such a place
Used to exist
In our ideal
Blissful friendship
Once upon a time
I guess

Make my
Paper heart
Rustle melodically
By caressing it gently
With your soft fingers
As if you're reading
Your favorite piece
Of prose or poetry
Written upon it
Please don't turn
The page suddenly
After you've read
My story
Bookmark it
And keep coming
Again and again
With a smile
On your face
As if you can
Never get enough
Of it

From the edge of a highest cliff
on a dark night
all you can see
is a sable terrifying wilderness
with a few shards of warped shapes
their edges as sharp as serrated knives and razor blades
littered all over a tar black abyss
Glaring at you ferociously
Making you tremble
And drops of sweat may begin to gather above your lips
A wickedly cold wind may blow against your shivering flesh
Making it ideal for tiny goosebumps to crawl all over
And the eerie silence surrounding you
May only be broken by the incessant chattering of your teeth at regular intervals
Right then
At that moment
Life looks really scary and frightening
But then youll notice a tiny little spark of dim light flickering and glowing
Slowly coming up from behind the horizon
Before you blink for the second time
You may find your eyes struggling to adjust to a blinding light
Pouring over you
Drenching you in a shimmering radiance
As you look up
Youll find a crystal clear sky
Shining like a soft white fabric of silk
Adorned beautifully by  shafts of golden sunlight spreading far and wide
Illuminating the sodden corners of the world
While a flock of chirping birds create melodious ripples in the air
As they fly past rustling moss green leaves
With pieces of food in their beaks
To feed and nurture their young ones and see them grow
Like tender buds sprouting into supple luscious flowers
Youll no longer tremble
Every drop of fear stained sweat will evaporate from your skin
Even though your standing face to face with the vast orb of flames
On that same spot
That edge of the highest cliff
On which you were shaking with terror a few hours ago
With a wavering resolve
But now it appears a distant part of the past
You no longer think about it even once in the entire day
Would you feel surprised
If i tell you
That this sudden change of nature that left you breathless a moment ago and fearless a moment afterwards exactly mirrors this thing called life

The air we breathe
Is made up of our breaths
That means even if we're no longer together
I still inhale and exhale you everyday
An inherent part of you still manages to touch me leave me and repeat
Just like you actually did
And no matter how hard i try
It makes forgetting you harder than it is
I hope you know
I may never be able to fully forget you
For doing it
I'll have to stop breathing
Suffocate and choke myself first

She walks with starlight in her hair
And sparkles with a radiance
That lights up the abounding darkness
Wherever she steps
Her father says
That she is his greatest asset
That no one can compare
Her brilliance shines brighter
Than a scintillating July afternoon
On verdant sun drenched avenues
Her friends say
That she is their savior
When all hell breaks loose
And chaos ensues
She never loses her poise
She is a Rockstar
In their lives
As for him
He still marvels at his luck
Cause he never thought
That what he wished
on countless shooting stars
would one day be fulfilled
She is someone whom he cannot get enough of
His heart beats for her now
She is everything that his soul has ever desired

Among the assortment of memories
That homogeneosly mix
And settle inside a corner of my mind
Your memory refuses to blend
Just like your stubborn self
And reappears vividly time and again
While I concede to relive a few moments
In a bygone paradise
It becomes so difficult
When I need to confront the realm of reality
And wrench myself out
From the torrent of emotions
That accompany this short lived Renaissance
In my tender weary heart
They come out of nowhere
Perhaps I've forgotten
That they still reside
In the deepest recesses of my soul
Where I can never reach
No matter how hard I try
I cannot find the hidden interiors
From where they surreptitiously make their way
And grip me with a tenacity
That reminds me of those winter nights
When you held my shivering hands
And warmed me up like sunshine
At the same time
They unleash a profound yet hopeless longing
For you to be by my side
Cause you had always been there
In moments like these
When I felt overwhelmed
And all I needed was the comforting touch
Of your soft supple fingers
Across my cheeks
To wipe my tears
And the curve of your strong shoulder
On which I could rest my leaden head

You made me realize
That my laugh
Couldn't hide
the pain inside
You gave me your shoulder
To cry
Rather than
to feign a smile
As you held my hands
And wiped away
the tears from my eyes
My lips stretched
In a genuine smile
For the first
and the longest time
With you
I laughed
But never cried

Spoon me
Against your heart
Grant me
Your tranquil warmth
Suture the seams
Of my weathered soul
With your loving gaze
And ardent voice
Hold me
In an eternal embrace
As long as you can
