High on each other's eyes;
no touch, no words,
yet talking like
no one else can
Cloud of numbness over the head
going heavier
with every sip of
each other's pain
No one to care at all;
no one to take them home
Can't walk without the blessing
of the crowd,
for they might fall down
like
Bonnie and Clyde

Old souls

Sitting at the far end of that cafe I glanced around finding nobody but the empty chairs.
Twenty four chairs and twelve tables I counted. All empty. I found it funny how each table could only sit two people.
Don't groups of friends visit cafes anymore or had this cafe become a spot for people like me?
People like me, who sit alone at their favourite table sipping hot chocolate engrossed in a book.
Who enjoy the peace and calm of being alone.
Who want to shut out the world.
Who want to write their thoughts out.
Who want to enjoy their own company.
Who don't feel at home in their own home.
Who can't make friends because they're different.
They're different for they enjoy one to one conversations.
For they love to sit and talk for three hours straight.
For they read as much as they can and discuss what they read later.
For they love to recite poems and not filmy item numbers.
For they love the soft instrumental music and not rock or pop or jazz.
For they love to paint fantasies.
For they love to get to know you thoroughly and be your friend and not just an accompany you to the mall acquaintance.

The sound of a bell broke me from my spell and I looked up at the door to find a group of nine friends come in.
The old man behind the counter smiled like he hadn't seen such sight in years.
Placing their orders they turned to the tables and froze for a moment before two of them quickly joined four of the tables together and they all sat around them, giggling.
They talked, made jokes, teased each other, laughed and ate to their hearts content.
I couldn't help but notice how even the teasing and jokes emitted the vibes of absolute love that they all had for each other.
I noticed not one of them had taken out their cell phones. That made me smile.

They went away after a while.

Clearing the tables, the old man came to sit across me and smiled at me. He said, " You, young lady, and them, are the same you know that?
You all are ... "

" Old souls " I completed his sentence.

"Old souls of the new generation " he smiled going back to his counter leaving those four tables together as they were.

Let the firmament be colorless
don't paint it with
the rainbow of Nirvana
or with the saffron of Moksha
Whether it is last or forever,
don't let it be green as well

We are all fallen from nowhere,
you can't claim;
you can't trace
Let's build ourselves up
as we're the dust of stars
Let's light up the sky
by singing a common prayer

Broken dream.

What happens if the dream is broken?
Maybe it is severed to see the veracity.

Perhaps it was a twisted bird that came back in the crowd of the evening.

Like the death penalty is a born that is dead again.

It was a black cloud which hid after the rains.

As the peacock became gloomy after the rain.

I pull my heart out
Putting my rest of the feelings on pause
With hope, I close my eyes
A lesson for my "protesting Mind"
My ears on the ticktock
as I cut the supply of emotions
The Cruel Fate
it has to taste
I make it suffer
until it begs and ends the protest

You had left me when the darkness arrived
Came again with the morning light
How could you be my lost Glow?
If you keep holding my hand like Shadow

Tere gam mai khud ko barbaad hi karne jaa raha tha ki mere yaar ne mujhe sambhal liye , andhera ho gaya tha zindagi mai mere dost ne mujhe sahi raasta dikha diya, tu toh choti choti baato par mujhse baat nahi karti thi vo toh bohot gussa tha mujhe par mujhe udaas dekhkar ek pal mai apni narazgi bhulakar mujhe hasane lag gaya tab saala samjha mujhe tujhse jyada mere dost ka sath hona maaayne rakhta hai zindagi mai , sharab ka nasha karne jaa raha tha par dosti mai jo nasha hai vo sharab mai kaha, jeene ki koi wajah nahi dikh rahi thi toh saala mere dost ka muskuraate hue dekhliye ...
Ye zindagi tere dosti ke naam kardi hai mere dost kyuki tu meri jaan se bhi jyada kimti hai ...

A peck here, and a kiss there.

A gasp from me, a sigh from you.

You craft a bruise on me, but it's a mark to you.

I slam my eyes shut seeking remembrance -what was it like to have that flare, where I bereaved the faintest gleam- to no avail.

Is it purity that you're after?
But... you don't chase cherubs to hell, do you, darling?

Against those cold bricks, you turned into a recess.
I've relinquished virtue's hand too soon, so I tripped into the squalid path.

Now, heave my naivety up to peak, then leave me to dive into a lethe.

I'll perform to your desire. After all, I barged you into this, into the scrapes of my soul.

So worry not, for you won't hear my cries or feel my scars, you will only hear the joy chriping out of my lips, and sense the earthquakes as they tell you I'm pleased.

Being cold and drenched from the rain
My thoughts turn to writing a poem

So I sit near the window
Holding my pen and notebook

Seeing the falling rain
From the window pane
Reminds me the glance of
Your intoxicating eyes
Through the veil

The blowing air reminds me of
The open swirling tresses of your hair

Chilly breeze touching my skin
Reminds me the touch of yours
Sending waves across the body

The raindrops kissing my cheeks
Reminds me the taste of your dew drops

The aroma of wet soil
Reminds me of your fragrance
Soothing my heart

In the flooded heart
The ink flows like a river
Creating another ocean of words

Having you drenched in the rain of verses
You shiver in the chill of love
Oh my dove!
Let's bloom together.

Please suggest a good title if you like

Melody of love

A moonless night,
yet moonlight still
shining through a
window pane,

And a melody
of love echoing
in the air,
oblivious of the
forthcoming rain.

Heart of glass

The journey I began,
Was never meant for any pause

A weak soul, I carried
Frightened and sensitive,
was like a little crack in the glass

Had once followed by the arrow of Cupid:
A holy blessing from the sky

But a weak soul, I carried
Frightened and sensitive,
ran away to hide

"This world is like a box", it used to say
Hopeless as Pandora
Lucky as pirates.

You would never have the key,
So better run than to live
under the shadow of the pain

I took a bus to my fate,
heavily carried the crack all-day

Inside the unbreakable wall,
It thought It could save the glass

Although it was wise and right,
I knew It couldn't be Day without Night

I surrendered to temptation,
Ignored the wall to find the lost arrow

"Nothing is permanent", my soul rebelled again
You are doing a blunder, mate,
You would drown yourself in the sea of sorrow

A little afraid, I was
But, still went for the search

I had half of mine,
A half was yet to be discovered.......

The purpose of this article is to explain how you should judge people. In my past, I was always confused, back and forth with people I was dealing with
I experienced so many changing emotions based on one’s actions no depth included. So I told myself to analyze and sort out the hidden elements of this mystery, also help others understand this chaotic phenomenon. Why I call this chaos because I saw one’s actions which are only at first level with hidden relations neglected can drive you to the false conclusions and will draw a totally wrong picture of a person, and I am talking about black and the white difference here.

The purpose of this article is to explain the way to judge people. I was always confused in my past with the people around me. I changed my opinion a lot of times about someone, and could not get what was wrong. So, I decided to analyze the hidden elements of this mystery to understand this chaotic phenomenon. A person’s obvious actions can conclude the wrong picture of that person, The conclusion delivered by obvious actions can be totally opposite to the facts.

I chase
Sunsets

wandering

in shadows

Eyes

Let them
tell you
the truth,

Let them
serve you
the lies,

Doesn't matter
what they say or
chose to conceal,

To trust
you just
have to
read the Eyes.

"856 days later,
I'm still escaping the look
you gave me at the parking of our school, last night I had a dream
of drowning in a fish bowl,
so I woke up with a suffocation
and tried to light a cigarette
and some of my lashes too.
I know you're terrible
at keeping memories but see,
I am running out of words to relate
Maybe I'm the back of your diary,
I'm all those moments
when you can't sleep but
instead sit with your diary
and list your favourite ways of dying.
Our knot un-tied harshly, my mother definitely must be crying somewhere,
She knows it every time a
tree falls and not make a noise.
My father had indifferent talents
I am sorry for that.
and if I were to talk of love
I'll tell you that you can't feel it's touch
Until you tell a person
That this world is too much"
.
Sorry if doesn't make sense, sorry if it does.

The tiny muses is what I seek,
With the path that would take my heed.
Soothing voices I hear through creek,
As the blooming dreams take a lead.

The mouth had been covered and the face had been subdued. Down she went into his arms. The women had done their job well- or at least good . this time of night. Even the police here were friendly, some of them were partially aware of what was going on.

Just as long as they did not interfere.
Before the inspector’s eyes, the city should had impressed him, but not really, it was just a blur on top of all of his other assignments
Without delay, they reached the shore

Still drugged the actress was placed on her feet
Four men took her from here into a small ‘fishing boat’
In the silent atmosphere one, the man carrying the actress from her seat said "fishing is bountiful, we reap the shiniest glitter from the sea of paper pushers"
“
The smiling woman with buck teeth said "Karma is despair for the decadent. The predators are now our little fish. I enjoy turning the world upside down for the pretty ones. In fact I feel more beautiful than I ever have in my life.

The actresses eyes were still seemingly at peace with only a residue of the panic left apparent.

"Little girl does not understand she will have more joy than she ever imagined" The second woman said quickly.

The others chuckled but inspector Yi was stoic. "We will talk later about your service to our motherland. You have barely begun to understand your purpose. Depart from this place immediately.

The abandoned shore line roared quietly as if it was also aware of the moment.

The actress was quietly brought below deck on the wooden creaky vessel. Inspector Yi spoke to the most burly of the men

"As usual, you will steer south and westward during the night. You are unlikely to be apprehended but have your fishing gear ready at all times for a show of innocence. After your last stop on the coast emphasize your Japanese covers if you come across any others
You will be rewarded upon arrival."

*And if we get caught?"
