Show and Tell
Ripe smiles stained sweet greet you,
mouths upholding grins of cardboard cutouts,
unraveling wool pulled over irises,
frowns turned upside down embracing warmth,
folded origami lips turned paper airplane and sent flying,
spacing out language left weightless,
tipping over trapezes falling sideways,
little white lies too heavy to ditch gravity,
piercing thin veils reveals veneers hiding crooked teeth,
expressionless faces sucking air but without swallowing,
statements chock full of facts updating inaccuracies,
no stand in for speaking freely.

Do you know why people get upset?
Because they expect too much
When you stop expecting
and live life to the fullest
without caring about the fruits
You'll get seeds
Go plant your own trees

Time to Bloom
Our seedings just sown,
watered with purpose full-grown,
free from pot outgrown.

Putting Myself Together
My mind,
a coin purse freely sparing change,
my hands,
keys opening new doors into distant lands,
trash underfoot becomes ladders to ride rising elevators past rooftops,
knowing you would fly without touching the ground,
you decided to climb even higher,
my feet,
propelling me towards my destinies,
never once opting for only one possibility,
my mouth,
instrumental to delivering messages of greater symphonies yet played,
my hope,
forging brighter futures for us and people whose stories follow after.

Mi Amor
I hope her pulse quickens it's pace when I slowly peck her cheek,
even more so when I work my way down her neck,
closely I press her head against my chest,
as we harmonize,
she reminds me to come down from my high horse,
compassionately holding her hand humbles me,
watching joy burst forth from her eyes,
speaking of which they are akin to star clusters,
making the wings on my heart flutter,
with her I speak honest,
ice skating in conversation cools down even the warmest summers,
her embrace heating up the coldest winters,
investing in our relationship every season.

Getting Along Better
Restoring the peace but with something else on my sling,
a bell sound off when I let it ring,
no muzzles when my guitar sings,
without bullet holes I punch through walls,
refusing to break the law I go another direction,
entrenching a fresh flag as I break new ground,
riding waves my surfboard is walking over water stirring up foam too,
leaping over jagged rocks I land harm free,
learning to discern oasis from mirage,
live from my vacation home I invite you to my private island,
allow me to show you how to get yours,
I present you a vested interest so we can feel bulletproof tomorrow.

Greenhouse Cradles
From a dark womb,
light blooms,
born from seeds unlike any other,
revealing trails to places undiscovered,
left alone,
life needs no permission to pull back the curtains,
never meant to be fenced in for long,
we bust open the coral we were caged in,
freed from the dungeon we're sprung,
grumbling chains made to smile and when we broke them they showered,
not quite a rain dance but it sure felt nice to drop our weights, insightfully,
we refuse to follow moths into places that shine brightly,
past experiences leaving our hindsight 20-20,
making ourselves fine on rewind,
remembering that living in the present is flying,
hopeful of the countless futures that could germinate.

Ya to mai hu tumhare sath..
Ya mai nahi hu
Ujha rishta mujhe pasand nahi.
Tum dost bhi kehte ho..
Aur haq bhi nahi dena
Es baat ka koi tuk nahi.
Ha bura lga mujhe
Tumara yu sath chal ke
Achanak se piche hath jana..
Magar na gwara to wo bhi hai na mujhe
Tumhara yu majburi mai sath nibhana.
To suno.. ya to mai hu tumhare sath
Ya mai nahi hu!

This depth of love

This fools paradise that you’ve build, this idiocy that has engulfed you, this heart that has been dipped in deepest of filth there ever will be, this ink that you have chosen to write a destiny other than mine, this hatred, unknown and stacking up everyday, this lovelessness and ice cold eyes staring at each other through miles away, this sudden hopelessness, will never be understood. Just because the depth of love will never be understood by someone who wears an unknown air of ego right on his sleeve other than where a heart was supposed to be.

Through the cut crease of a moonlit night,
Though tonight when you choose to leave, my love,
I would ask for this light that ceases
to be.
This forgiveness that it overturns, my wet helm rejects,
What honour would this eternal sunshine bestow,
For my hands that spread like crumbled leaves of autumn,
Yet this crushing prayer can no longer be found.
My love, speak no more! For this darkness overturns our shadows,
Nay, Your foolish heart wonders, this reflection in water, no longer counts,
For tonight this honour sits weak under the stars,
And waking of this hour is doomed to bound.
Return then, These hands are untied from an unforgiving prayer,
Sure, my whispering won’t give any secrets away,
The wind though carries your scent to my beloved,
For in His chanting, this longing heart exclaims your name instead.

Sath rehne ki talaab sath mai nahi hoti..
Ishq to sabhi ko karna ata hai,
Par us ishq ke sath chalne ki kasak
Har dil mai nahi hoti!

A bond that no matter what happens
You find it hard to break.
An emotion that no matter what shit you went through
Gets back to its original state.!

#couplegoalsSeriously
I begged for her to stay..
I begged for her to not let me down again.
But somewhere in all this
I realised that
I already lost.
As if I had to beg someone to stay
The presence doesn't mean anything!

Ek kissa sunate hai..
Unhe hum baato'n mai
Ab bhi apna btatein hai.
Yu to koi taluk nhi
Ab humara unse..
Hum fir bhi har sham ko
Unka btatein hai.

That bent in ego, carrying his foolish grin,
In darkness where his wild heart grew,
Pumping hollowness, this sudden lovelessness.
I craved for the touch, his smile withered,
How else would my garden sing again?
For the birds that grew weary in exile,
Long before love reigned empty inside.
For the lover who left, called autumn,
This nearness dimmed in devils stare,
Though bitterness touched in slow whispering,
and talking sewed me barren again.
But what if this heart knew all mysteries,
The forgetting phase would no longer imply,
Then, will those Dreams flow in cascading sunlight,
Till the night that travels with the truth again.

What if its barren what you and I say,
Our tongues that lash hatred now,
Your eyes that once slept in solace of my sight,
This hopeless game that we once played.
Sudden times that eroded around, this hateful stare,
Isn’t it how broken dreams speak somehow?
My love that rose like divine comedy,
Now jilts over, in nightmares of it somehow.
Though my heart is locked, this pain has an ending,
Carve my name beside an ocean again,
These sands that once carried our footprints in love,
Will they ever walk you in my life again?
They say listen, this closesness suddenly has ended,
Every love serves its purpose in pain,
And I, the mad poet, sends messages to the sky,
Maybe, this time, my love, it will rain again.

If only in loving you could see,
Where my rotten flesh belonged to,
Was it underneath the shameless whisper,
Or was it sunken deep below.
Though you carried most of it now,
And the leftover kisses repeat history,
No longer does my heart howl when you leave,
Still those eventual bearings say it all.
So why cry even when i ride back home,
This chariot is a character of once burnt heart,
The flames almost whisper snow, will my murmuring ever stop,
Though this road that has elapsed, my feelings undergone.
Your kindness won’t stop, this journey seems so benign,
My head is locked in, the puzzles lay exposed,
This shadow though I see, is no longer my own,
But this riding feels real, though this body seems unknown.

He strives to find love in lovelessness..
How silly of him!
Has butterfly ever quenched her thirst in desert?
