Loud Rain

The rain is loud now, As if a giant feet arises from the clouds To step on the river under the bridge of my heart And disturb it in such a way That the sails of ships bend, And the water touches the bridge from below, Tickling it to sorrow… The rain is loud now, But actually, it has always been like this. You were there once, And I never felt it. But now, All there is Is this sorrow That tickles me from inside, As if it wants me to laugh, Yet doesn’t let me At the same time…

When is valentine's day?

 When is valentine's day?

I typed into the internet.

I know I'm not alone.

I know I'm not the only one hating myself for it.

It's Sunday that day

And maybe I should ask her out.

Or should I?

Like someone said in some movie,

This could be the end of a beautiful friendship.

My eyes well up

On seeing you glitter in diamond dust,

Like a bare tree after a winter storm.

And this winter storm

Creates a power outage in me,

And words don’t come,

And it stings me like a hornet.

We are players on a frozen lake

Playing ice hockey,

Passing the puck of love between us.

But the goal post is approaching

And someone should score.

But should we date at all?

Dating is like schooling;

With benches and desks and students and lunch.

Dating is like schooling;

Systematic and fake.

We police our inner demons

And show ourselves as people of perfection,

People of style.

We police our inner demons

And clap at bad acting in the play of life.

They send rockets into space,

They play violins for kings and presidents.

But all I wish to do

Is to put this puck where it belongs;

In the goal.

And I need your help.

Can't death come quick?

 A flower fell off a bouquet, And someone stepped on it. And they all went about with their business. But I can’t help but stare at it; The act of hastening death. Everyone went about their business. But I can’t help but stare at it; The dewless petals, The red colour blackening with the creeping shadow of death, The stalk separated from the head Like with a guillotine. It might have been plucked from it's family, From the other flowers. But it's okay. They'll die as well. It's just that this flower will die faster. But in this world where everything happens in a rush, Can’t death do the same?

Dove and rose

 She has tattooed a flower upside down under one eye; A falling rose wrapped in white silk, With two doves scooping down to grab it. But they never get it. And the rose will still have it's petals, It's silk, Its youthfulness. The rose will keep falling Through this valley between tears and talk, Always closer to the tears. And the doves keep falling along, Wasting their time. Well, Do they have a choice? Become a Patron!

I'll tell her

 I want to tell her, But she might be seeing me as a friend. I want to tell her, But what if she doesn't like it. I've always been that dreamy kid Sitting in some corner, On some bench, Ignored, Marked as absent by the teacher. I've always been that dreamy kid Everyone gossips about. No one has come close. No one has the courage To look into my eyes and see the lava Popping bubbles in me. No one has the courage To look at these hanging spikes of ice, Waiting to fall on the young deer with broken legs. But she saw it. She doesn’t feel the heat, But she at least counts the popping bubbles. She doesn’t feel the heat, But she's the only one who wants to. She'll push me downhill And I’ll break a rib or two. But the spikes of ice won’t fall on me. I’ll break a rib or two. But she'll take this young deer home, Wrap him in a blanket And put him near the fireplace. I want to tell her. And I have to tell her, Because she's too smart  To understand what I feel. She too...
