Mirakee
I've been quietening this voice in my head
but today it screams
who are you?
where are you?
do you even exist?
I wonder the questions
I've been asking myself
ever since the day
they told me about lovers.
I wish I didn't know what love is,
I wish I was unaware of this affection,
I wish nobody would have told me about its warmth,
for today I wouldn't have craved it so much.
yearning love makes me feel guilty,
the thought of it aches my heart,
as if desiring it is a sin
for I feel I'm betraying my future self
by longing for a feeling I may never get.
you want something when you know it exists,
and for once I wish I were oblivious to the existence of love
because I'm so tired of waiting for someone
whose being isn't even certain.
in this chilly winter night
while I look at the moon
I feel a little more lonely.
a wave of desolation encircles me
and I want to explode into a myriad of pieces.

It is heart-wrenching to find solace in tears.
©lifeandverses -
Whenever someone used to shoot me with bullets of harshness, I used to look for you, for you always had an ointment for all the wounds that my heart had. But today what am I supposed to do when the one who used to be my savior is the reason behind my destruction? It's hard to believe that today I'm shattered because of someone who once was my healer. It's not easy to just accept that you thought of someone as your angel and then all of a sudden they are the reason behind all these demons in your head.

Sometimes we forgive people not because they deserve to be forgiven but because we're too miserable without the way they make us feel. We forgive them for our own sake.

The day you realise that everyone's got problems in their lives, that everyone is going through something you're not aware of, that you don't actually know what goes inside their heads, nobody would disappoint you that much. You just got to have an empathetic mind that if shit can go in your life, the same can happen with others. And if you want others to understand your situation, you've to do the same with them as well. So, don't expect too much from anybody because they also have got their own life to deal with, a life that you're not fully aware of. So, here, they're not the problem, your expectations from them are.

There are people who understand us like nobody else does. They make us feel like nobody else would. So, our key to that particular feeling lies in their hands. Just for the sake of that feeling, we let them hurt us too. In order to get something, we've to deal with its downside as well. Basically we bear that pain for the sake of that pleasure.

Amidst all the chaos around, my eyes made their way to her serene face, the same old smile plastered on her lips.
With her pale skin embellished with scars, imperfect features, and the dark bags underneath her eyes, she wasn't physically attractive.
But the inside of hers was too captivating, I couldn't help myself but be drawn towards her. She intrigued me in all the possible ways, and I yearned to learn every piece she was made up of.
I could tell she had mastered the art of concealing turmoil beneath her calm demeanor. But when you look through the veil, definition of pain is scribbled all over her broken pieces.
She had a face that mirrored sorrow, her features reflected suffering, misery shined through her spirit, every part of her screamed destruction.
It seemed as if blue is all she inhales, and her soul radiates the scent of grey.
When I glanced into her eyes, I saw melancholic odes dwelling, grief blooming, and agony surfacing within those two orbs.
Even pain looked magnificent when embraced by her fragile heart.

"is it possible to like two people at the same time?"
"no" was my instant response
until i found myself
admiring your scent
and his as well.
your calmness captivates me
but his dark demeanor is equally intriguing.
i adore the way you speak to me
but his quietness fascinates me too.
you are peace to my agony
but I'm also drawn to the havoc he is.
you give me confidence
while he improves my perspective.
you admire me for who i am
while he prompts me to become better.
you're my savior
while i am his,
and i equally like both the feelings.
you feel like warm sunshine
while he reminds me of the guiding moonlight.
is it really my fault that i fancy both the moon and the sun?
what if i crave both?
what if i want to let go of neither of em?

I see her from a distance,
her skin glows with pure content
when her orbs perceive the warm shades of sunset.
immense affection gleams in her eyes
as she turns her head up and greets the moon
an astonishing smile adorns her lips
while she seeks to fathom the ever-changing patterns of clouds.
innocence wraps around her face
when she caresses the leaves of her beloved plants.
as the tender melody of colors
makes its way towards her tensed skin,
she forgets all her miseries for a while
and the weight of gloom falls off.
it that moment grace covers her entire soul,
and she looks ethereal.
but then she shuts her eyes,
striving to not lose the memory of the magnificence that surrounds,
as if attempting to paint this scenery in her head,
as if struggling to keep that moment in her heart forever,
as if making an effort to drown in it, savor it, and get engulfed in it.
but she feels overwhelmed,
melancholy and euphoria clash with each other,
and her heart breaks a little,
one second she feels everything, every emotion crashing
but another, nothing at all, everything disappears.

TO THE FRIEND IN PAIN
even from a distance,
I could still catch sight
of the silhouette of gloom
that was walking next to you,
clutching your hand.
I could decipher that
she was troubling you
when you refused to meet my eyes.
so, let me have
a conversation with her
and ask her to loosen the grip.
I know the words caged in your throat
are wounding your heart,
so, here I am
patting the seat next to me,
asking you to spill
and liberate those harrowing thoughts.
let those tears of sorrow
fall through your eyes
and let the ache subside,
you've got my shoulder to lean on
and I promise
I'm not leaving your side.
let's make this misery less severe,
come engulf yourself in my embrace
and let me silence
the agony swirling within your chest.

I see the darkness.
————
In these times of winter,
I was on my way back home.
saw a man sitting,
he seemed to be a sad fellow.
I went and stood in front of him asking if I may help,
"there is nothing you can do" he answers.
He took a luger out of his coat pocket,
Put it’s muzzle in his mouth.
before I can utter a word,
I see the blood splattered all around.
In these times of winter,
I was on my way back home.
Saw a woman standing on the edge of a cliff,
I went and stood beside her.
asking if she's enjoying the view,
"yes" she whispered
saying, "the view of the afterlife"
before I can utter a word,
I hear the wind,
and see an empty end.
In these times of winter,
I was on my way back home.
saw a boy on the top of a bar smoking a cigarette,
I went and sat beside him.
asking if he has a lighter,
he passed one to me.
before I can thank him,
I see nothing next to me
but a loud scream, maybe of his name.
In these times of winter,
I was on my way back home.
saw many deaths with these naked eyes,
darkness swinging in my mind.
barely making through the day,
let alone this entire life.
this is void, an endless terror, a pure blackness, the hollow,
or the reality we live in.
People are sad and alone,
make terrible choices,
leaving regrets for the ones left behind.

Some poems, we hold back deep in our soul.
Some thoughts, we keep them buried.
Some voices, that want to break out, we shut them up.
Some terrors, we keep behind our shunned door.
Things we do to conceal our darkness.
Willingly wearing a mask,
and waving a hand in order to make a truce with this agony.
Hiding in, from the world, for the world.
To protect our love ones.

Wishing from the skies to rain down this sunshine,
Make my day a little brighter now.
Play that melody of mine to dance my heart out,
And a lullaby for my tears to join the ground.
Remind me the memory of mine and freeze me in that time,
Let me enjoy there for a while.

Your sexual-romantic orientation and gender identity is valid.
You're valid. We're valid. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. -
It's not about those broken promises, it's just about those smiles before promising.

I wished to see the entire world at one go, from the greatest height.
She let me to climb her beauty
and then, gazed into my eyes.
©akhilesh_mahender -
She didn't add colours to my life, instead made my black-and-white dreams colourful.
May be she tried to convey that she resides just in my dreams!

Having noticed that her Dad didn't wake up yet, she got down her bed, walked towards his room and shouted, "Daddy! It's morning! Wake up time!"
He didn't respond.
She slowly climbed his bed, firmly seated on his chest, placed her hand on his forehead and whispered, "Daddy! You have fever! Wait, don't worry, I'm there!"
She bought her troop of toys.
Placed one Barbie doll beside him and ordered in it's ears, "He's my Dad! Take care of him, I'll come in few seconds!"
He was observing from the corner of his eyes.
Then, she charged towards her kitchen kit of toys. Plucked few leaves from the garden, a bottle of water from the fridge and after few seconds, she walked with slow steps, cautiously towards his bed, and mumbled, "Dad! Dad! Take this, it's green tea."
He obliged.
She whispered, "Please take rest Daddy. Close your eyes!"
Then, the little girl, bought her Doctor toys kit, took out the stethoscope and snugly placed it on his chest, forehead, hands, belly, and on legs with atmost concentration.
He faked to cough.
She passed her hands on his chest as if trying to soothe the pain and maffled, "See, Dad! You are sick. You have to take rest. Meanwhile, take this chocolate. It's a painkiller! Hmm! C'mon close your eyes and sleep!"
Just then, his phone buzzed.
He attended the call and said, "Sorry to disturb you Doctor. I'm doing fine, now. You need not come. I have a caretaker at home!"
Gazing at his little daughter, he smiled thinking, "My wife would be feeling happy, seeing their daughter, from high above the sky!"

A withered leaf sways all along the route, before reaching the mother Earth.
But, why does a withered soul hits the rock bottom with a terrific thud?

I don't think deep.
But, I feel deep.
Deep enough, to drown in my own thoughts.
And, I never reply.
