love so heavy that
gravity keeps pulling
back to the center of soul
feel every bit
gradually swaying towards
mind tries to resist
but heart grows weaker
and love gets stronger
scared that
won’t pick up this time
once down, again

202. ocean

please do not be a hypocrite
I am the same ocean
that you love on sunny days
that you bring your family to
that you play beach ball on
I am the same ocean
that you come for sundowners
host parties and day outs
engagements and weddings
I am the same ocean
that you abandon
when my water boils
and morph into a storm
with magnified strength
I scream for help
I need you to calm me down
yet you scatter and hide
block all contact, cut me off
you vanish when I need you
a hypocrite
yet I am the same ocean
I’m forced to fight demons alone
all night till my energy depletes
then fall asleep in my tears
only to see you the following day
in beach shorts and tan sandals

falling for you, wrap me in your arms,
draw me closer with your charms,
cover me with warmth, shield away harm,
hold me tighter, I am weak, grab firm,
as I crumble, when survival lacks chance,
let it be where I’m safe, in your presence,
next to your heart, where I’m at ease,
in your arms, where I wander in peace,
where the storm is pleased,
and my wild troubles are appeased

you can’t handle my thoughts and ways,
my mind wanders with aimless sways,
I study earth and its creatures for fun,
when alone, my mind is a loaded gun,
overthinking can crush me into dust,
scraping pieces from dreams like rust,
I think about dying stars and tiny planets,
I think about aliens in their sleeping garments,
I think about the bacteria in my stomach,
and wonder if they also believe in luck,
I hate that mirrors focus on foreground,
yet evil stares at me at the background

you called me lazy
I picked up a book
the pages were few
but the experience was new

you called me cozy
I bought a series of novels
the plot was long
but my knowledge got strong

you called me ignorant
I formed a network of editors
learnt how to journal
practised till it was normal

you called me stagnant
I invested in a publisher
now you read my story
then praise with fake glory

each lie you told
took a block off me
like brick from a wall
love blinded my vision

each truth you told
added a new block on top
rekindled the fire in my heart
felt like a queen with a king

my knees are now crumbling
I have nothing to hold onto
you added weight to my head
before replacing my missing blocks

lest we forget, lest we forget
our industries spew smog to her
our plastics suffocate her seas
our greed strips her green off

so forgive her, so forgive her
when she clears soot off her skin
when she rekindles her spirits
when she exfoliates to clear skies

shut your mouth, shut your mouth
no man has a right to speak
we defiled her with our selfishness
consuming her love till the last drop

lest we forget, forgive Mother Nature

195. falling

Posted on by

she opened up her heart
fell for him deeply
he consumed her
like fire crunching dry paper
left her with a hollow heart

she opened up her my mind
fantasies blocked her thinking
he pulled every string of reason out
churned and turned her brain
left her with scrambled thoughts

she opened up her body
intense contractions caramelized her
he made her quiver and jiggle
tantalized every inch
left her with hungry feels

she forgot her light when they met
she was transparent to his light
rays from a dim soul
when he left
she had no light of her own

193. chasing stars

Posted on by

addicted to sleeping late
partly from fear of bad dreams
and emptiness of the dark
hate the silence with no emotions
that only minds can listen to
hate the echoes of wild thoughts
that double as visions too
addicted to sleeping late
maybe so as to sleep less
probably sleepless
from chasing stars in my head
