Smoke & Vapour

I
hold onto you by every molecule.

Taking shape in the vessel you put me in.
Elevated from the moment you laid your sight on me
Extinguished, when you shone too bright on me
And for a fleeting instant
We shone together
Against the laws of nature

But then when has fire ever been known to show any mercy to anyone
It just burns.
and scorches.

And as you sear through my being
with red flames dancing through my body so cold
 beyond my threshold
I,
As the water, loosening her grip
With every drop of its existence,
While bleeding the monsoons you showed me

And releasing the promises you owed me
 Pulled by the mirthful gravity

Will decend

Seperating
Isolating

Sliding

and Gliding

Until I crash

Through your surface
Showing off our spectacle of passion and fury for one last time
For one fleeting moment
Before all that's left of you is just smoke.
And all thats left of me is vapour.

Smoke & Vapour
This is how it will end.

Everytime I try to quench my thirst with a cup of fire,
Or you try to use a bit of water to light your way
Because ultimately we both destroy.

We are not Incompatible.
Its just..
we are not meant to be.

The Rule is Not Enough

They said its impossible.
It is too little too late. 
To far fetched. 
To idealistic. 
To ridiculous. 
To dreamy.

But they also said that shores belong to the ocean 
while the stars belong to the sky
And they don't mingle
It just cannot happen.

Title :  The Stars make love to the Ocean.

Except it can.

Even the sky meets the ocean at the horizon.

And even the stars make the ocean their home at night.


I suppose the only limits that exist are the ones we impose in our head.

The Longing

You say desiring makes you suffer? 

from all that the heart wants what it cant have?

Try longing for a perspective,

for while desiring is wanting what you don't have, Longing is wanting what you do.

And when you do, you will try to stop it with your own hands.

I dare you not to.

Got a perspective, now did you?

The Monsoon : Between You and Me

Title : The Run of the Rains
Location : Enroute to Halebid

When it rains, the river will try and take you away from me.

When it rains every drop will add to the distance.

This time around, grey clouds fill the sky again.

This time around, grey clouds fill the sky again to rain.

This time around, grey clouds fill the sky again to rain and will push me adrift yet again.

Whether its the drop of water trickling from the heavens or one trickling down my cheeks,

This time around, I am prepared for either.

After all

After a long time.

 Monsoon is approaching.

The Clarity in the Blur

Two people

More than friends

Less than lovers

Both spinning in infinity.

You Searched for the silence amidst the chaos. 

while I appreciated the chaos in the silence.

You found it near the edge of here and there. 

On the borders of If's and But's

Maybe's and the someday

Within the shadows of practicality.

I found it between that moment and a potential of forever. 

Between the fire you ignited and then the ice you purged it with.
In taking chances
the leap of faith

I found it with you.

Ignited
Then diffused
now disguised
and subdued
You believed distance is how bad stories end
I believed it could be how the best stories begin
Yet.
We will never know.
and while now you watch me incessantly
know that I watch you back.
Your silence doesn't fool me
Nor all the words you lack

And every time you indifferently hint how "well" you are now with the choices you made
I get the message.
Loud and clear.
And you should too,
That I'm happy for you.

Now fuck off.
