Even flowers fall off,
Just to be carried away
And
To be replanted
Into something mightier.

Don't hide behind lies,
And seek comfort in it,
Because truth is the only sovereign
That'll last until dusk.

You don't tend grow from the same.
You need to open your gates to change,
To grow,
To rise
And you reach your
Personal supremacy.

As you lay down
Almost in the brink of your sleep,
Love poems wouldn't be read,
To put you into a deep slumber.

I'll tickle you with honey laced
Fingers and
Caress your ears slightly.

As I tuck you into the bed,
I'll make sure I'm tucked into you,
To show you the divinity of love,
That all love poems ever written
Will fail to testify.

As I listen to a melancholic song
That my phonograph hums,
I dip my pen in tears
And start scripting a poem.
My tears seem to overflow
Just as my poem.

There never came an end
To my poem
as words ooze out
Like a perennial river.

As my thoughts ooze,
I interrogate myself about
A notion called “forever"
Because forever seems be just poetic
And unreal.
As I run out of paper
To pen down,
I realise
Nothing is perpetual,
Be it humans or their grief.

Daddy,
Nights are harder than nightmares.
As I lay numb onto my bed ,
Watching the empty expanse,
The insurmountable pain causes no sleep.
Trying to picture you and every little memory we had
Sends shock waves into my body
But no shock wave shook the numbness.
Tears don't roll
Like Humpty Dumpty did.
But the sorrow and grief spiral inside
Churning all my insides.
Yet I stay numb
Staring into the vast expanse.
Future intimidates the very thought,
Without you in it.
Will this every fade?
Will this ever?
As choking and churning
Stops my breath everytime I think of you.

The song in my playlist,
Never heard yet never deleted,
Reminds me of you.
Just consuming
My phone's storage,
Like you consuming
My piece of mind.
I fail really hard
In erasing you and the song,
Completely out of my life and my phone.

I tried to fill you,
But all in vain.

A truck load of love,
A handful of warmth,
A sprinkle of glazed words and
A daily dose of appraisal.
What could i have done better?
What could i do to you?
You never seem to be happy about anything,

Black Holes and you, a mystery always,
So what could i do to unravel you?
For you seem to be unshaken,
Oh you,
You dear void!

“I wish”
“I wish ....”
“I wish i had....”

The most daunting and the most haunting feeling that you can never get through.

Everytime you travel
You witness something
That you haven't seen ever before.
So go ahead,
See the unseen,
And let the unseen side of your's
Unravel !
