Let breath fill you up
allow gratitude to nest
heart gently expands
Wander
Me, at times, wanders by myself
On known lanes, or some unknown tracks
Me, at times, can’t get out of mazes
Me, at times,
trapped
in the mid of a monsoon rain.
We, at times, wander by ourselves
The lane you know, me not
Buildings you drew and songs you shared
Or vice versa, some sounds of the day

Grief
Grief. What is grief?
Is it wallowing miserably in your belief,
No matter how hopeless it seems?
Even when your dreams are splitting at the seams?
A howl echoes from the depths.
A dagger pierces my heart.
The pain reverberates all around me.
With no one to let me be.
All of my actions are scrutinised in detail.
Like the clothes in a retail.
Like an untamable creature longing to be liberated from its agony.
Instead of being observed like a mahogany.
Rain, rain pour down on me.
Drown me in your embrace and set me free.
Set me free from my bereavement.
Ah, ah, the tears pour endlessly
As life goes on relentlessly.

Make our own fire
In the bleak
we make our own fire;
there is no need
to lose hope

“Hey, I think you’re lovely” Wallpaper
This one was a Valentine’s special, but tbh a lil reminder to show some love to yourself is important every other day. 🙂

Learned helplessness
You’d eventually learn
That it is a long, long time
To await for day break
You’d understand
Your consciousness is futile
As it is paralysing
Cruising the edge of
Insanity, blurring lines of
Dream and reality
The rhythm of blood
Pumping at your ears, mocking
The count down of eternity
You’d eventually believe
Trapped in a forever present
Like a dream you cannot awake — an irony
In this dream,
You are alone.
And alone, you will always be.

Fireplace
While the world leaves me cold
and blue, I seek to you
like sitting close
a fireplace, you put
back warmth in my fingertips

Sunflower
I only wanted to be free
Live against the gravity
Infinite, the colour white — I am sunlight!
But if I am light
I cannot love the shadows
How can I fly? With half body heavy in soil
Each of them
Formed a vein and spread like roots
I am no sunlight, I am only a sunflower

Sadness is a lonely thing
Open gaps and wounds
Better put a sleeve over it
Nobody is going to kiss it better
Somber songs and stories
Better play it on your earpiece
There isn’t solace in apathetic ears
Even when they love you
Nobody likes a sad person
Oh, Sadness. Sadness is a lonely thing.
