Real Life (Remove filter)
A letter to my 6 year old self
They all told you to — “Grow up”.
Thank you for not listening.
Thank you for making up innocent fantasies
Rather than thinking of scary “what ifs”
Thank you for enjoying the present
Rather than drowning in the past
Or getting lost in the future
Thank you for laughing at silly things
instead of worrying about being “cool”
Thank you for eating as your body wished
instead of feari...

Me, Myself and I
Dear me, did they throw thorns along your way?
did you let them prick you while you knelt to pray?
Tell me, did they ever listen to you?
or did they just stand afar
while your whole world turned blue?
It must’ve been hard, but i’ll tell you what
I’ll share the pain that’ll flow through your cut
I’ll be there to pick those needles out
I’ll be there to hear you out
But promise...

Misfortune
Letting someone else's light shine brighter than mine, isn't such a prideful crime,
I should listen to what people have to say, to have the attitude of 'come what may',
Speaking my mind being always kind, the truth is what I then, shall find,
I think, I think, I think too much, I would rather not about such and such,
I learned to appreciate from a distance, family and friends, I love within an...

Forever...
They say that change is a part of life,
Alright,
If everything were to stay the same,
Forever,
I will be bored out of life,
But there are always some things,
That I want,
For eternity,
Like my love for chocolates, maybe,
Or my stupid childish desires and wishes,
Gazing at stars all night,
Or feeling the warmth of sun,
On me, as I let my imaginations run wild,

Programme Accepted
Our brains
Programmed
For better
Or all too often worse
What we listen to
What we watch
On television
Or the internet
With false words
False images
There was a time
Way back when
All our experiences
Conversations
Were real
Actual happenings
In our lives
Not any more
Other people’s words
Other people’s pictures
Fed directly into us

Mum guilt
Woken up Rudely by a wide awake kid
Her iPad starts blaring , that one that you hid,
It’s 5 in the morning , but she wants to play,
But you’ve hardly slept, not ready for the day ,
You’ve been up all night , on the edge of her bed,
While she sleeps so soundly, sweet dreams in her head,
8 comes round it’s time to get up and go,
But now she is ‘ tired ‘she’...

Life, the Thrill of Infatuation
What you had yesterday that
I have today and what
I have today
That must be yours tomorrow.
We have been made
Solely to perform on stage
In well and woe.
Just think...
What if we were not born?
We'd not feel the
Gentle touch of mother,
The sweet
Fragrance of flower,
The appearance
Of the sun,
The delectable call of fountain,
And the taste
Of our paradisiacal earth.

Beyond The Oasis
Trapped into the forlorn steps
Without much hope or even despair
In the middle of the desert
Only the skies beyond the sky
Or deserts beyond the desert
Space and eternity- mingled
Time has little or no value
Only day and night
Without any plurality
Only the singularity reigns
Over the modern history
Dictating terms and conditions

The Reflections
Behind the shadows some familiar faces
Like failed hypothesis- unclassified.
Reminds me of my predecessors, their
Un holy nexus with the alchemists.
Every night drenched in obnoxious
Dreams before and after midnights
I try to figure out my schemes in deep
Secrets. To overrule the destiny.
Our reflections to exhibit our might and
The supremacy all over the histo...

The Deceiver

before the beginning....

behind the mask

penned down by prophets and poets!
saints and leaders!
and singing with the chorus....
flowing with the chords;

The Deep Secret
she was talking in undertone
like the old hermits of the
Buddhist Monastery
not to prove any algorithm
or to put forward hypothesis
of social revolution
she was there with her
gentle smile and her bare arms
moving like gentle breeze
not like the smiling bureaucrats
shaking the cold hands
before the secret deals
she was looking around

Gentle Vs Wicked
Muddled minds with cruel plan,
And the vicious journey began
Each one deranged in its own way;
Missed to reflect the price to pay
Lies interwined everywhere;
Living the life in intense fear
The puppets were dancing to the demon's move;
Shaking the heads left and right,
Twisting the words like brain-dead
Now came an innocent heart;
Doesn't play mind games

A Good Book
No matter how hard I try
there's always nights of
which can never be said
is slept without having
raised from a most
comfortable bed
searching for something
to help me sleep
when mother said
“it’s all in your head!”
so I tried just that
even went to
the library and read and read
cus a good book will do that
help me relax
so there every day

hidden scars, unhealed wounds
Hidden scars, unhealed wounds,
and a forever bleeding heart.
Past I can't seem to forget,
Just watching over till you are down.
Over a smile you will frown,
When your nose takes a sniff.
Just unknown threats,
Underlying fears waiting patiently,
Waiting for tears to bottle up.
Now that's a bubble I shouldn't burst.
This is the rubble I kept,
All these years wa...

THE JOURNEY, that is LIFE
THE JOURNEY, that is LIFE
Dusky Sunshine kissing mountain's meadow,
Like a Mother adoring her baby's enchanted glow...
Chirping birds flying as a tidal wave,
Pondering to whom shall we care...
Serene shadows of ever grateful trees,
Imposing us to find our Inner Peace
Being loved is a blessed boon,
A Hope of finding love is the race- half won...

Life is growing lonelier every day that passes
I’m just a slave to my fateful soul and it’s inevitable searches.
Spiralling on deeper down and forever tumbling aimlessly around. I can’t seem to put both these feet of mine on the forbidden ground.
If only my thoughts and my life could be safely contained once found. I would then progress and could grow to that magical higher...

Who Am I and Where Do I Belong?
Who Am I? And where do I belong?
Where do I go right? Where did I go wrong?
Was it real or fake love I was shown all along?
Am I really that mentally tough & strong?
If I fail, Will I momentairly freeze or stay froze?
Will I dig up a pile of dirt in my back yard & find a bunch of diamonds & gold?
Or am I to die a failure, lonely, & old?
This the type of mindset the old me was ...

Affirmation
I would like my naked toes to caress a field of poppies
to dance; a fine expression of freedom and happiness.
to look up at the clear blue skies
and listen to the sound of singing birds
in the midst of wonderful harmony.
For time to stand still, a chance to inhale
To truly take in life, and the precious moments it can hold.

Why am i so happy so content with being. What am I missing what am I not seeing. I’m not used to this feeling and it’s rather addictive, makes me start to appreciate each moment I live. It’s unusual to me, an unknown territory, clearly must be my selected destiny.
It’s deceiving what my mind makes me believe in. Its harsh all of what my eyes have seen. All the places I’ve already been. Co...

I had to conquer my fear of the unknown as I stepped through the open the door to start on my new journey.
With a promise to fulfill
My heart shall never falter
Because I found my purpose
With each new day|
With a heart of gold
With every step I take
With every discovery I make
I have seen how much more it takes
I have seen how far I have come
I have seen how much I have grown

The Overland Launch
The Overland Launch:
In the land of Coleridge and his Ancient Mariner,
In a time of coal fires, wooden boats and horsepower,
There is a story of the Lynmouth Lifeboat Louisa
And the night horse and man over 13 miles pulled her.
Two of the afternoon clock struck a chime,
On January 12th, 1899.
The wind howled and the sea it roared,
Flooding ports and rai...

How do you know?
How do you know if time is being wasted?
Drifting so far away from the honesty that the honesty becomes a lie,
How do you know if it's what's meant to be, if im with you and he's not with me?
They say time you enjoy wasting, isn't wasted time,
But does that apply when you've got your enjoyment, and I've lost mine?

I thought that you cared,
that you cared more than a friend.
Now when I see you you're all over him,
now I'm letting the darkness in.
I remember when you were all over me,
I sang you lullabies to help you sleep.
You held my hand when I felt down,
held me in your arms to pull me up.
We were editing our little story,
you put your pen down and I start to worry.
You scrumbled your paper ...

My something is nothing, as something is nothing when measured against the grand scheme of things,
A massive reward, the highest achievement, no more something than a spec in the wind

Cure a wound another could
The desire to wholly
Posses you

Bitter and harrowing
Was the feeling,unfaithful
To memory's dustbin
You relegate.
At a loss how
My problem to solve
Crying out my heart
By a serene cathedral door
Myself to absolve
God blew on my way a dove!
With a tap
On the shoulder
A sympathetic
And cute girl
On par with
My ex-lover
If not better

Better for my soul
Days have gone till I've felt something strange,
would I feel like that again?
Will my life be with the sweetness I haven't known yet?
One can do so much,
one can feel too much.
I admit I ache for something,
something unknown.
One thing is for certain,
I might feel it again.
Might not be the same,
maybe more...
Better of this ache,
better for my soul.

Song of the Sky
Whispers adorn the sky
Chilling winds and dying, breathy voices
The road is a blackboard
With essays of footprints written upon it
The air is still
As are the trees
But the sky is not
The sky talks mindlessly to someone
It murmurs and mutters
Supported by the Earth
Pressured by Space
The sky is home to the brain of a flower
The flower is red

To The Addicts Of The World
Cunning baffling and powerful are the words used to describe,
The truth of what addiction is, it will take your life with a knife.

Millions of people struggle everyday and it's truly tough,
Knowing that one is too many and a thousand never enough.

I got used to you using,
there's no point in whining now yet I still do it.
Can't believe what I did for you,
was I just a toy?
At least you had fun,
you had a blast,
while I slowly think of every word you said.
It hurts me to see you go,
but it hurts more when you...

It has taken ahold of me once more.
Basking and marinating;
my life is in limbo.
At a halt,

Hope arises,
and then just as quickly sets as the sun.
Moments are cherished
but then despised with a gun.
Feeling the chambers loaded with each shell,

so quick,
so painless.
So easy.
But where does that leave us?
