Ratan Ravichandran Poem
Just a boy
16/12/20
he's just a boy
with his heart in one hand
and a cigarette in the other.
this boy is surreal,
everything has its place,
his life a state of organized chaos.
he's broken
but perfectly so.
emotions flood like a tidal wave,
each word crashing,
threatening to drown.
he's inescapable,
everywhere but nowhere,
impossible to catch.
he's pain,
with biting words
and cutting glances.
but he is just a boy.
he's safe,
a cave in a howling storm,
an island in the middle of the sea.
he's love,
his heart true,
pried open and waiting.
he is fire,
his touch drawing flames,
his eyes live coals.
but he is just a boy.
he's sand
slipping through fingers,
a man lost to time.
he is a memory,
a line to a forgotten song,
the painful part of nostalgia.
he's just a boy.
