A Fool's Demise

They chide.  Only a fool fights the sea alone

They judge. Only a fool believes in  goodness in essentially everyone

They preach. Only a fool loves hate gback

They assume. Only a fool holds out on the love they had

They explain. Only a fool tries to fly

They insist. Only a fool burns wishes into the sky

They declare, Only a fool protests against a planet 

They disapprove.  Only a fool adopts people deemed unwanted

They scorn. Only a fool thrives in the intricacy of feeling too much

They reject. Only a fool believes that love can be enough

They scoff.  Only a fool leans against the waves

They curse.  Only a fool surrenders their life onto destiny to save

They laugh.  Only a fool moon-watches in the chance that you are watching too

They impose. Only a fool doesn't do things that we are "supposed to do"

They.

They have made all these rules that berate me. Suffocate me.

Very well then.

I am that fool.

And you should know, 

I am okay with drowning.

And I will die fighting.

Find me Now.

I keep thinking you already know. 

That nagging feeling that you are also contemplating. 

Disintegrating. 

That belief that you get those letters I sent that were only written in my mind.. 

The letters that promised so much yet asked for so little. 

The words that echo the sweet nothings of sunny days  and reiterating all possible ways... 

Please find me now

Please find me now

 before there is nothing left to find. 

A Place Among the Stars

Between a future with its impending troubles

And a past of its share of scars.

Here I stand, amidst this rubble

Wide eyed, staring at the stars

My hands twist and turn in the struggle

To escape these confining bars

Until life bursts my utopian bubble

Maybe I dreamt too much, too soon.

 And much too far.

Nor Here Nor There

" What is it.

Where are you? "

She whispered to the convoluted air.

As its reverberating echoes continued

Calling out for her from somewhere

He stands disapprovingly witnessing this

Her faraway demeanour, both haunting yet austere

He reconsiders his option to leave,
Is she beyond repair?

"Who is it you call for? He asks again,

Who dyu whisper to when clearly, nobody's there?

That you seek anybody else while I bequeath myself as yours

Is a travesty I refuse to bear! "

She slowly takes a step back, then one more

Eyes brimming in despair

"I have to say a no.. Sire, I have to go

I can't reciprocate the affections you declare."

"I apologize but it isn't you, I assure

But its only his voice that I hear,

And they call out to me, repeatedly

Like the times I wish for him in my prayer"

"So even though my heart is breaking,

Everyday is a war and I am scared

But I am not for anyone's else's taking

For I can't be here and he won't have me there"

Bereft of him now, every time the air beckons
She will find herself beckoning back
It takes all but a sign for her to reckon
And a delusional heart to lose its track.

Echo Through Eternity

Inspite of afflictions of the heart

despite its protege called "Pain"

Let no man who ever loved

believe he loved in vain

For every thing you sow 

you need not always reap

let there be peace in letting go

and pride in choosing what to keep

You have felt the wind rush

when you soared high

You have survived the hollow depths

during the low tide

So if they chose to walk away

that shouldnt undermine you

The tag of " A Survivor" 

doesn't even begin to define you

They walked away from you in the dark

forget them in the light

But why admonish the love you held so dear?

Take control, take pride.

Being in a relationship is one thing

Loving them - another

The former ends when you end it

The latter involuntarily lasts forever

Whether you Hate the crime or Chide the lover 

what you had was more than some dispensable entity

Love on child, 

for how you loved  in this Life (not who)

Shall echo through eternity
