The Undeniable

We've become so used to monsters,
Camouflaged as purple-shaded immortal beings;
That we've simply overlooked,
Our human capabilities of solidarity.

We've disposed of the warmth we once shared,
And instead left each other alone;
With only our demons and mental insecurities,
To shatter even the minute pieces of integrity in our soul.

Out feelings have become so volatile,
That they even evaporate in front of our eyes sometimes;
Then reconstitute, only to melt away again,
Further strengthening the rebellion in our squirming silhouette of a mind. 

Yet in the expanse of time, we'll be nothing,
Materialism however seems to consume all our senses,
Like an unintelligible whisper in a silent room,
Reality only makes a phantomlike touch on our finger tips.

You

No I don't,
Talk about you anymore;
I don't see you too,
I've no cogent reason either;
For such ludicrous capers of mine.
Coz if I did, I know
I'd whisper only your name
On all forevers;
That'd come and go.

I still watch you scream out
Your lungs, for her.
I still watch you bleed
Your ruptured veins for her.
I know not still, what to say;
I can't call out too
Your name, no -
From my lips, I can't 
Utter the word,
Those seven letters form..

My eyes are red,
My lips cracked.
My throat is dry
Yet I can't gulp down;
The red wine you serve
Alongside your words
Seared on a brazier; yet
Since day one of your advent.

With my thoughts I lay
Toss and turn on the bed.
I've become a night owl
Waiting not for you,
But for the insomnia 
To die down for the night;
So I can lament over
Your verses anew, 
The very next day.

You fill some good pages
With your blue ink,
That still smells of her.
The dust coated books
In your closet of poesy;
Looks nothing but an old frame,
Alluring but derisive,
Built from the revered timber;
Excised from my heart.

Maybe I'm just going porangi
I know not what to call it.
There's nothing I can do 
Nor do I want to either.
For I can always suffice  
One way or the other.
Sometimes the raindrops
Sometimes the metaphors
Bring me your love.
Like a praxis that becomes-
More puissant with every passing,
I cling onto this epiphany,
Hoping one fine day;
You'll come and say-
" I knew it all along "
" I knew it all along " ..

You

You said you loved me,
But you stopped loving me.
You said I'm the one,
But you stopped making me feel that way.

I don't know why we were even together,
Gave me nothing but memories, I couldn't bear to carry.
I can't fathom if you can live without me,
Trying my best to stay as happy as possible.

Does it ever get lonely,
When you think about us?
Does it shake you up deep within,
Wondering if we could've sorted it out somehow.

Nobody ever made me feel the way you did,
Since the time out paths diverged.
Nobody can bring back the days,
We had, when everything was so perfect.

When you love someone,
You don't let them lose you this way.
When you're scared of losing them forever,
You don't think before opening up your heart.

All the empty days and the lonely nights,
We're searching for lights to pass through the dark.
All the love and trust,
We've to so many puzzles to solve.

Why are we waiting so long,
When we can just stand next to each other.
Why are we hurting so much,
When we can't take it any longer.

I wanna be there with you,
Things can get better anyway.
I wanna be the us we used to be back then,
Share this life with you 'coz I miss you.

Emotions

Was it just a coincidence to have seen you,
On that fateful day.
Was it a misunderstanding that I loved you,
From that moment itself.

As I feel my thoughts now fading,
Into a deep spiral of delusion.
I can't imagine how long it'd take me,
To come out of this apparition.

Maybe my mind is too bewildered,
Since a long time, perhaps how long I can't remember.
Maybe my emotions dawdle awfully, so,
They're unable to settle on anything stable since so long.

Blue

The world's blue,
The seas and the skies,
The mountains and the flowers,
The fumes and the lights,
And the lover in our hearts dive deep,
Towards the waterbed of blue love.
