You are being watched

Neither scanning or clicking with the camera does justice to the colours. It looks different in reality. A little unfinished but I like it like this :)

Long Lost Friends

The house in which I used to live as a kid had a beautiful garden in front of it. Loads of trees surrounded my house. And most of the times, I would sit in my balcony and talk to them. I don't know why, maybe because sometimes I felt lonely. But it felt great. Now when I think of it, it feels dumb but still I kind of feel I had a connection with them. A part of me I guess never wants to grow up.

They were there

When hope was nowhere

Standing tall and lonely

All of them together lifeless but full of life

Watching me and maybe listening to me

Blank all of them till I started blabbering

The pains of a 10 year old

Trying to reason with the trees

And then I noticed them sway when I shed a tear

Or maybe my cries were too desperate

And ignorance took the better of me

Every other day I would come sing to them

Because no one else would listen

And they didn’t have a choice

They moved in unison as if out of appreciation

Maybe my ego was feeding me lies

Or maybe they did enjoy a melodious crow

They stopped moving when I was serious

Like it was mandatory to ignore the wind

While I groaned and moaned

And then one day I went away

Away to make sense

Maybe they missed me or maybe it was me again

But after a while when I showed up

They no longer wanted to be friends

While I selflessly hovered around waiting for an applause

They selfishly stood there obeying the wind

A sketch for my poem, Wish.....

In the Sky

To the times when there was a world above the clouds.... when nobody knew what layed above.........when imaginations ran wild without the weight of logic.... to the times when logic was our creation and imagination was a compulsion....

TITLE LESS

Wrote it in a super angry mood.....

I'm not dying because of you
To save you from some guilt
Which I know is anything but true
Breaking the castle of illusions that I built
I'm not opening these veins for you
Its me that I sought to revenge
Painting the red on my heart's blue
Forcing off this veil of pretense
I'm not silencing these beats for you my dear
Punishing myself one last time
For leaving me with loneliness and fear
And taking away all that was mine

Imitate

Let's all imitate
What's wrong in believing
Everything around you is just for you
You lent it to the world
To follow the script
The script of the REAL almighty
Let's pretend
Yay!!!! world let's go
Bring out your best disguise
Let's laugh till it becomes real
Let's cry till we get the right reason
Enjoy the foulness of our soul's hollowness
Let's pretend to know
The meaning we keep talking about
Smother your lips with the asses
Asses we pretend to live for
Let's live it through
The pretension without suspicion
Let's enjoy the laughter
Till we know its ourselves
We are winking at
