Blessings
I count my blessings
like bath bubbles
floating in thin air
fragile as an egg's shell
or perhaps there are none,
but then I look at you
and I know
I have one
and in you rests
infinite blessings
I ever desired for
and
I still manage to count none.

a dim lit room
a dim lit room
a faded picture on the wall
watching me dance
into the zephyr
gentle, at ease
touching, caressing
her moles and marks
making love until dawn
sets us apart

Alcoholic
Alcohol is here, he will drink it
Alcohol isn't here, oh! He drank it
Alcohol we want, beware he drinks too much
Alcohol it is, yes but he isn't
Alcohol is the answer, but he is the question
Alcohol is desire, undesirable around him
Alcohol to be reduced, but will he?
Alcohol capacity, he doesn't possess any
Alcohol drank by many
But judged for few
because obviously
let the drunkard fall in the sewers
none of us have any skeletons in the closet, do we?

Love language
words don't suffice
for the grace you hold onto
and for your love beckoning me to you
standing in the dark I watch you walking the aisle of doubt
words don't suffice for how hard I try and understand you
it's in my darkness that I find your light
but words again fall short
crumbling one letter after the other
until my love language turns into a stranger.

Chirag
Hey Chirag,
it's been a decade now since you chose to leave for your heavenly abode.
here's me remembering your twinkling eye and your smile, the ear to ear one and
The crest on your cheeks,
those immemorial dimples that made women weak
I remember us dancing to glory and promising to be there for each other till eternity, I still feel the warmth of your bear hugs and the moistness of the kisses you blessed me with on my cheeks.
I'm terribly angry that you broke your side of the deal, but I'm glad you stayed as long as you did, and maybe promises are truly meant to be broken, what an ordeal
you will always be my maverick, a soulmate, a friend indeed, a friend in need.
a soul often misunderstood by this godforsaken world, to be honest you are better afar, up there lurking in the shadows like a star, I try and find you in the night sky, sipping on your favorite whiskey, in a hope that you'd be smiling back at me.
so better wait for me, I'll be there soon, we'll ignite the engines of our bullets and roam around the universe and the galaxies, singing songs from the past and for once I'll not fear losing you into the dark.
Love,
Sammy -
Misfit
when you are a part of multiple circles but belong to none
remember
you're the sun, one of a kind
a secluded mountain, unexplored
a hidden trail, a path rarely walked
an oasis, in between the deserts
the sea, oscillating constantly
the wind, intangible and free
in a nutshell
you are a misfit honey.

Mixed bag
There are instances in our life where we feel put down, battered, frustrated, lost, bloated, worried, anxious and depressed. These emotions are a form of us, a form of our soul and mind, a form what we try not to be, yet comprised of such elements.
Happiness, love, joy, euphoria are not the only constituents to our well being, so much is just a drop in the pond of vain, let there remain a sea and an ocean of what we try to refrain.
We learn, we improvise, we compromise, we desire, there is no premise. Its a world full of filth and a world of embedded illusion and cry, yet so beautiful, is it not why we are scared to die?
Live, love, pray, kiss, hug, embrace and smile but sometimes you need to frown, sulk, whine and shout. Its yours for the taking, it's a mixed bag and not a straight line.

Time
I sat with you in between the spaces of time, holding on to love in my barren heart dearly
spaces shrinking hourly
time had different plans and the spaces in between now unsettle me, devoid of any mercy
time shaped different versions of you, a friend in one, a lover in another and a stranger in present
sometimes I wonder if time knew any boundaries because my love for you held none
time cannot be tamed so the love had to bear the brunt
does time ever heal because
my wounds get deeper by the day
maybe time's an illusion as they say
but my love is a constant and time doesn't know that and in time my beloved you'd acknowledge the fact.

Life
live abundantly
love fiercely
pray honestly
kiss passionately
touch tenderly
hug firmly
speak silly
drink joyously
eat heartily
hope deeply
fear almighty
hate rarely
because my love
In the end
life in all its forms
is the art of dying.

Arms wide open
I loved you with arms wide open but now they curl in only to hug the lingering air.
