The Room of Shelves

I have a room. It's a room for the secrets. It's a room for the feelings. It's a room for all the emotions that don't get to leave my mind through my voice. This room is full of shelves. It's compartmentalized. My thoughts go through a calculated categorisation process. Each thought gets allotted to a particular shelf. Though they all are somehow connected. I have a shelf for my secrets. I have a shelf for the secrets that people tell me. A shelf for self-doubts. A shelf for ideas. A shelf for hobbies. A shelf for feelings. A shelf for other people and their opinions. A shelf for my own opinions. But sometimes, it's okay to let a thought leave the shelf and out of the room of our mind. Because sometimes, contemplating things over and over instead of sharing it with others kills us from inside. It may or may not help. But it kind of makes it a bit easier to stay sane. Hence, I'm sharing one out of the million thoughts that bugs me on a daily basis. There'...

Resurgence

It has been too long And I'm not stuck anymore While the scars are still there They just don't hurt anymore. And here's a new hope Of a new dawn, a new beginning But is it worth the risk This situation is perplexing. I'm not lonesome That phase is foregone I felt like I was whole Then why am I counting on? Counting on this situation Counting on a new face Will this make a difference Or will it be just another phase? We never interacted much But the face has been there It's structure, unknown But the psyche, too familiar! Too familiar as in It's the same, my mirror image But why am I looking for this Was I this old school, this vintage? I'll never know If I don't give it a shot, would I? Incertitude persists And I'm frightened, that's why I'm taking the risk That soul has been cooperative She sticks around, understands Isn't a prying one , but still probative. A few months down the road I don't reg...

Rendezvous

It's been a long time Since I've seen you this close You left the place 2 years back But your presence still remained It remained in the surrounding air In the poems I composed In my heart which you possess And in everything, I confess. You're finally back And I'm savoring this instant Sitting beside your favorite swing For which you used to be persistent And as I see you approaching I sense the aura between us And I'm quite relieved To acknowledge nothing has changed. And then you slow down Bow down to where I sit And as you whisper in my ears Your lips brush against my cheek I can smell your hair Then suddenly you give me a kiss I can never have enough of you This moment is true bliss. Running your hands through my hair You get back up with a smile Turning your head towards the lights You ask, "Has it been a while, Been a while since we first met Been a while since our first date Been a while since the last dance Has it been a while, my s...

Recovery

Photos that once decorated the wall Now lie torn apart on the floor Letters that once completed the journal Now lie crumbled near the door Heart that once adulated every dream Now lies crushed inside the bones Soul that once triggered every feeling Now lies scarred on its own. Blank stare, expressionless face Pretentious as an eye of a storm Emanating void with such grace Denial of such an imperious form Silencing all the stormy emotions You expect the situation to be resolved Let the heart, mind, and soul loose Start afresh and get them involved. The heart is meant for the oceans Stop latching it to the shore Life can be deceiving at times Don't let it get to the heart's core Don't let it break your spirit Don't let it overpower your will I know you've been shattered but Don't lead your life to a standstill. Putting yourself in other's shoes Seeing through their perspective You've always neglected yourself Never realizing people are defective N...

A Wish

Square face, dainty nose Almond eyes, arched eyebrows Half bangs and half curls You're not like the other girls. Even with all your imperfections You're a perfect piece of art. Igniting a fire in my soul You became a part of my heart. Fiercely protective And loyal to the core You're a homegirl material Maybe even a little bit more. I was looking for puddles And in you, I found a sea I got a feeling that You'll be the one who saves me. And I wished... May our fates be entwined Our lives be linked Our futures be combined And our hearts be synced. So one day our wishes will match Somewhere our paths will coincide Then we will take a shot at us And in each other's hearts, we'll reside. Now that you're so close Only half a feet away I can read them in your eyes Words your lips hesitate to say. So I pull myself back Giving you a little room to think You know I have fallen for you In your heart, let this feeling sink. This situation is baffling Our need...

Exhortation

What if I ask you To be my confidante To look over my past And ignore my doings. What if I ask you To make my ideals a priority To look after my temptations And ignore your own interests. Would you still be Willing to take a step Towards an eternal dilemma Between friendship and conspiracy? What if I ask you To remember what you were To look where it all changed And right all your wrongs. What if I ask you To stop being materialistic To look deep inside yourself And find your missing piece. Would you take a leap of faith Into the deepest recesses of your soul And find the differences between What you were and what you've become? What if I ask you To put everything at stake To risk everything in your life And help me build something bigger. What if I tell you Love is a luxury that we can't afford Emotions are fallacious Solitude is our accord. Would you leave everything Sacrifice every dream of yours To attain nirvana Amidst hell and heaven? Aren't we al...

Feel The Love

When you're having fun During a roller coaster ride Yet you feel That the smile on your face Is not because of the ride But because of how happy She's with you Know that you're in love. When you're grooving On the dance floor And you feel That the rhythm of your feet Is not because of the beats But because of her Moves and expressions Know that you're in love. When you're getting drenched During the rain And you realize That you being attracted to rain Is not because of the petrichor But because of how much Playful she gets during it Know that you're in love. When you're watching her Engulfed in work And you find yourself Cherishing her dedication And she smiles back at you After flicking off her hair Over her ears Know that you're in love. Know that you're in love When it seems She's everything you need Know that you're in love When she's like a book That you'd love to read Know that you're in love When it's ...
