Dream

Every dream,
A chance
To see,
What is possible
To relive,
What has happened
To indulge,
In a familiar, strange land and
To experience,
It all together in unison at once.

The Expanse

The outer reaches of the cerebral cortex,

Vast intricate circuits intertwine.

Waves of knowledge carry forward,

Jointly infused with the spine.

Immense power of the controlling hub,

With power to make a change.

Growing and flowing like impressionist artwork,

Growing and flowing like a beautiful image.

It grows to an unprecedented scale,

Where does the old end and the new begin?

What mysteries lie in its realm and,

The expanse of knowledge it carries within?

Let Me Ask You

Let me ask you,
Would you close your eyes and count to ten?
Would that make the pain go away?

Let me ask you,
Would the sun shine brighter if it went away, those memories?
Would you be a different person then?

Let me ask you,
Would you be less stronger if you didn’t know how to deal with pain?
Would it be more difficult for you then?

So let me ask you,
Is it the pain that you are running away from, or the inability,
To handle that pain?
Why don’t you ask yourself that?

I Planted a Seed

I planted a seed today,

And it turned out to be the most beautiful one.

But isn't everything beautiful in its own way?

Aren't all stars just another sun?

Don't all flowers,

Look just the same, but when close,

Look different and brighter?

What are those?

Aren't those the same,

Things that I wanted to do then,

But I couldn't do them?

Because everything else was different?

Wouldn't all flowers be,

More unique when

They're allowed to breathe?

And be what they're meant?

Someone planted another seed today

And I know this flower

Would bloom more blissfully in its own way

Bloom more blissfully than any other.

A Poem to Remember You By

I ask myself this question,
Was it you who entered my dreams,
Or was it my own consciousness
That made me think of you.

Was it your smooth touch,
Your heavenly laugh and your,
Bewitching smell that
Stayed with me all those years?

Or was it your soul that,
Connected and reattached,
With me time and again
For fulfilling its purpose.

I like to think that if there were,
Enough barriers to keep me away from you,
That there were still not enough barriers
To keep away our love.

I like to think that even though,
Our bodies couldn’t make it through,
Our connected souls
Couldn’t keep us apart.

And so I hope these unclear boundaries,
Between us never end,
And that we continue to live our
Sole lives inseparable.

My Backpack Ride Back Home

Sliding, winding roads
The crisp air that tunnels it's way through my hair
Gushing emotions and feelings of getting back home
Working my spirit debonair.

Tempted to watch
The slow, steady pains wash away from the body
Watch them flow through hot, soapy water
Non extant and free.

The wind and the trees
Working their magic on hollow lands and elevated grasslands
Breaking free the spirit to its undying state
A realm that understands.

Halfway there I see
The place that had longer for me and I had longer for it
I had waited for me, to be a part of it
Again,  and be one whole.

Everlasting Memories

Overflowing memories skim past the daylight,

Washing away the weight of the present.

Like an aura, blazing towards infinity

Casting forth undying reminiscence.

Together, binary memories swirl,

Like two stars dancing beyond time.

Beyond reason and beyond limits,

Into an oblivion that is beyond divine.

Memories last forever and what is yours,

Will stay yours in your consciousness.

One thing that never fades, never weakens,

Like an earthly gift of eternal bliss.

Eiffel

Beneath light and dark shades,

I see luminous entities

Showering down from heaven,

And onto the magnificence

A gargantuan structure

A place of divinity,

That lays ahead of me.

Stop

Everything feels very quiet,
My lips are moving but I can't say anything.
It has passed all boundaries,
It has passed all that is humane.

Everything isn't as genuine,
The way I used to see it, but now I can't unsee.
Stop it this moment!
Stop it right away!

Poverty is what has flourished,
Terror is amidst us everyday, our day to day lives.
What did just happen?
Don't let this happen.

I seek for your sympathy,
We can prevent only what we choose to prevent.
For some air I am choking,
For only some air I am breathing.

Sunlight

We’re the first ones to start a new legacy,

They left us before we could complain.

Our wits are our allies, the unknown our enemy,

Others are gone but we’ve decided to stay.

So as long as you and I are comfortable,

In making mistakes and doing what haunts us.

The goal ahead you see, might just be achievable,

We don’t need to keep watching our past.

Because it’s about time that we let the people know,

That we aren’t afraid to stand up on our own.

That we can do anything, our past has to show,

As long as you and I think together as one.

The Dream

When my eyes are open

I look into this vast world

Not with gingered eyes

But how it looked in my dreams

Just the way it was.

When my eyes are open

I live to see another day

Another morning sunshine

Cool air to breathe

Good food to eat.

When my eyes are open

I welcome my spirit

To be what it wants to be

Without judgement

Without fear.

When my eyes are open

I can be the change

That I want to see

And I relish

Every single moment.

But when my eyes are closed

My heart beats faster

As it processes all that change

And tells me a story,

A dream that I want to live in

Forever.

A Rose for You, A New Life for Me

Words cling on to me for dear life

What you said will remain on the tip of my tongue

As I remember you, and imagine you

In my arms so tight, that I can exhibit wishfullness

To you my sweet love, oh bear thee

The rain has come and parted our ways

But my love for you has not departed,

And you will always be wanted

By me in so many years later

When we will talk together,

Like nothing has happened,

Like time had stopped,

Our conversations as endless as our thoughts,

Your beauty as endless as the stars at night,

We will be together

As one.

How I Lived Through Those Days

Dusty pathways crowded by litterbugs,
Rays shooting through gaps of the hand,
Waiting for the old lover; comfortably seated
With both arms parallel on the sides
We wait for her to come by.

Children playing with small animatronics
Waiting for life ahead; not a dash of worry
On their pure, calm foreheads smooth.
Crying at small mishaps that come by
I still wait for her to come.

She will make me feel happy
After all, I live for another day with her
What will she ask of me? What about these people?
What do they wait for?
Extermination is imminent.

Perception and Cognizance

A face that works both ways,

The one that stays calm even on a stormy sea,

Is also the one that roars while below, on a quiet reef.

Trapped deep, very deep under water

And seems to stay that way.

Hey There, Baby Girl!

This baby girl, her arms are short

Of prejudices she must go through,

Of the evil eyes she’s exposed to,

She does not know what she’s worth.

                                  

Hey baby girl, I’m here for you

You’re a goddess sent from god above,

A little trickster with lots of love,

Only if you knew.

Baby girl lend me your hand

We’ll diminish bias and feticide,

I’ll help you nourish that beautiful mind,

You’ll just have to take a stand.

Your consciousness is too high for this world

They simply just don’t understand,

Be in charge and take command!

Your safety is my word.

Hey there, Baby Girl!

You will grow up one day and then,

The world will be overpowered by men,

But you will have to tell them again,

That you are the greatest gift to this world!

With Parenthood

What may this plain sympathy suggest?

What sugar and spice can treat?

What you have done is for your own best,

To be able to relish my defeat.

I was just mad at you for breaking me

With you taking me to that next level.

Of all of the things I thought I could see,

I couldn't see what you were trying to unravel.

You brought me in a world where I was,

Just a newborn with flickering spirits.

But you challenged me head on as,

I honestly thought I couldn't cope with it.

But with every passing melancholy hour

My mind was simply taking time to adjust,

That there's something really sweet (and not sour)

That can be gained with only your trust.

So thank you for pushing me when I needed it,

When I said that I just can't keep up,

With you

So, Thank you and I will say no more.

A Photograph

You and I standing alone
In a world of false creed
In a world of no sympathy
Yet we feel as one.

You and I standing alone
In a picture that seems perfect
Away from all the racket
We are fine.

And I know that you feel helpless
But this photograph of us
Away from all the fuss
Has proved to be more
Than mere images of ourselves.

Thank You for Calling Me Today

Thank you for calling me today,

My evening hasn't been going too well

But the birds outside have kept me company.

The world seems to be too steadfast to tell

But you may know what I'm longing to see.

Everything has felt a little still,

My umbrella has been just the way it was

Just the way I left it when you went away.

The rain has sogged up all the plant pots

But I'm still sure that it isn't here to stay.

I'm looking forward to seeing you,

All the windows have a spotless shine

That gives me just the perfect view.

I have been keeping a track of time

And I know you have been tracking yours too.

Thank you for calling me today,

When my bedside clock had been buzzing

But I did not have the strength to wake up.

And no, I haven't been complaining

My patience didn't start to drop.

But since the rain water has started to drain,

I'm looking forward to seeing you soon

And keeping all my problems at bay.

I was waiting, and a conversation was due

So thank you for calling me today.

No Fear, No Longer

In crucial steps that breaks the dawn,

Of wondrous spells that take me on,

This dark magic will repent itself,

Not me, not from these cocoons,

And catacombs that need help.

There is a state I know of urgency,

What I see does not show mercy,

But for a new dawn I must break free,

Conquer what may seem unconquerable,

And stand high for the world to see.

Fear, is what breaks the toughest of men,

Pollutes the mind and corrupts them,

Those places may seem out of hand,

That dig deeper with a play of mind although,

Have nothing to lather you with harm.

The rain will be sheltered to only those,

That train their minds and balance their woes,

And walk up to fear itself in its worst form,

Without a slight band of hesitation,

And walk slowly right through the storm.

The pain shall rise upon me and break,

There is no power with me at stake,

And fear will perish with the break of dawn,

With me, standing above the ashes,

And I will know that I have won.

Black and White

Between black and white,

Right and wrong,

There are morals,

That I must follow.
