Shreya Ln Poem
The head becomes heavy every now and then
With pain
With narcissism
With anger
The mind is conflicting place
Sometimes empty
Others chaotic
Often lacking a sense of purpose
An escape
From the heavy head and conflicting mind
Is a temporary death
A moment of nothingness
Awaken those
Who have the will
And the strength
To lift this weight
Carry on with life
Oh life, meaningless life
Pawns of this life
Moved back and forth
By that power
Believed in by some
To give this meaningless life
Meaning

Shreya Ln Poem
There is no match for the little things
Honest to God
Nothing can bring me more joy
Than those little things
A whiff of a scent I knew years ago
Just for a second
Takes me back to that exact moment
With vivid surroundings and sights to reckon
The way my grandfather looks
At his world, as she speaks
His eyes attached to hers
Hers don't even notice
Coffee in a tiny glass
Just like in a restaurant I had forgotten about
Made me smile
Made me happy
Days are long, yet so very short
And these little things remind me to go on
That there is more
That I need to work hard to keep these little things

Salsa for Baroque
To every song, Time dances
Never seeming to stop.

Shreya Ln Poem
If the Rubik's Cube was Round
Would the Earth not?
Would the men with knives and pitchforks
After Eratosthenes be proud?
Would voyagers search far and wide
Once more for the famous edge
Only for the fall
If only the Rubik's Cube was Round

Shreya Ln Poem
What I’d like to give you, is an ounce of my perfume
So you can feel this presence; my presence
Even after I inevitably leave
Profound in my apology to thee
Destined to become absent
From life’s apparent joys
I step aside from your podium
To be alone; to be coy
An illness, I’m told
Of the body, soul and mostly mind
One minute I’m ecstatic
The next, uncontrollably static
Born with it, I was
Control over it, I’ve never had
So when I leave
Make me one promise
To not forget
And never leave
You must bring me home
Until when, my perfume will have to be
Not to be
Miles asunder
Don’t give up on my fleet
Bring me home to thee

Shreya Ln Poem
Long it has been
My tunnel awaits
Long it will be
For me to awake
Darkness numbs
The loud surrey
Kindness keeps warm
I'm reminded not everyday
Secluded from this small world
Smaller it seems
But this too is enough
to bring joy or weep
Like every other sorrow
This tunnel is my morrow
And this too shall pass
With many more to follow

Shreya Ln Poem
Horse driven carriages and umbrellas in the snow
Grey pavement, oh so dark
Gloomy every morning when the men are on the go
So happy when we used to have dinner as a whole
Oh my! Did you see that Mary has a telephone
Fascinating is not, let's go have a look
Maybe the girls and I will stop by for a cup of tea
And we'll admire the Boston sky as we sip in glee
Those were simpler times when we took pride in our own land
Had paper maps to guide our path
Went on joyous journeys, glad
Those were simpler times when we took pride in our own clan
What Hercules did is irrelevant
To me and all my lads

Shreya Ln Poem
Today
I'm mistaken
Living a life of lies
That tomorrow will be certain
A step down my
Fine line into dreadful
Unknown
Unknown
Painfully so
Wandering through a path
Previously prescribed to me
A privilege
To make my own choices
I fear
I fear
Left to me to
Decide what is better
Blunder is inevitable
And so parents
And theirs before them too
Decide
Decide
Leave nothing to
Chance, God forbid you are
In control of what’s going on
You are a pawn
In a simulation
For all
For all
Any step still
Is a big leap backward
Back into the simulation
We need to get
Out of and help the rest
Of us

Shreya Ln Poem
Parents wonder why children lie
But is this quality unique to them in the hive?
Blue is the water that has been colored
This is all children will ever know
Truth shall not be fostered
You reap what you sow

Irish are ye, Mr. Patrick
Saint are ye, worthy of a limerick?
Are you the one we celebrate
The one on my green hat and cake
Admirers a many till this day, Mr. Patrick
