Midnight Melancholy

There's something that keeps me awake Something that makes me wonder Something amidst the music of The dark night's rain and thunder. A voice that grabs my attention And reveals my whole story Memories embedded in my heart Fuel the midnight melancholy.
Night inspires me incessantly to ponder Over things I always desire. Thoughts and emotions pile up Together, the heart and mind conspire. The heart adulates the dreams The mind always disparages, Always conflicting, seldom agreeing I keep them inside the cages.
Beside the window, I hunker down And gaze at the descending raindrops And as I go down the memory lane It's already 2 am in the clocks. Still no chance of dozing off I revisit my choices and decisions Despise myself for the wrong And flatter myself for the right ones.
The craving for peace, its significance, This hunger for truth I gotta feed A deep, laconic yet interesting Late night conversation is all I need. Got some confidants, some people I trust To share my thoughts at 3 am Trustworthy and genuine, no wonder All my secrets are known to them.
Amongst the conflicting thoughts And the conversations I never recall when I fall asleep. Waking up to the radiance of the sun And the enchanting petrichor The thoughts cease to seep.
The nightmares ain't nothing It's the dreams that are chaotic Keeping us awake during the night time. When silence surrounds us It makes us think, makes us introspect Keeping us awake during the right time.
I don't hate, I ain't in love These are heights of folly Emotions that keep you on bay Else make you achieve things wholly These dreams and emotions are the cause Of this midnight melancholy.

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'...

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...
