There were days
I didn't believe in myself
Didn't know if I would be able to
Come out of the vortex
Knowing very well
I am not a swimmer

But every time I reached up for air
I found you
Right where you said you would be
Before I started spinning
And for a moment
And sometimes for an entire night
I let the air in
Not just to keep myself afloat
But to breathe out the disbelief
Of your patience and my luck

-

Hold your breath for sometimes,
feels eternity to come alive,
to show you the way to
come out of the danger
grabbing you.

My tolerance tends to grow,
Blooming maturity, more I know,
Yet as proximity creeps in,
Into my vortex you're drawn,
Look how animosity seeps in.

-

Those who carry the storm within are calm like the vortex.

-

Our love
had no edges,
seamless & endless,
like an infinity pool,
or so it seemed,
until the eddies of ego
developed
and the vortex
of expectations
consumed us.

Now we just have a past.

-

Like a vortex
You pull me in circles,
Ever so diminishing
in circumference,
Until I am one with you.

-

There's always a portal,
that opens a way to another,
It leads you to the main vortex.
A place where you belong.

-

And love turned it into vortex of your thoughts!

-

A vortex of feelings,
Or just a chimera.
Whatever it was,
But a marvellous mess.

-

Chaos is a method of random,
My mind is now this whirlpool,
Slowly my thoughts are gyrating into this cacophony,
My mind and heart are not synchronous,
I am sucked into the vortex of indecision.
