Crashing through the icy surface, slowing down the fall,. But once beneath, the wondrous blue, I feel no pain at all,. Shoals of fish shimmer slightly, as I swim gently past,.
Sunday morning breaks like a back, Like a twenty-foot wave, Beating my body to A sand-worn and battered heap; Can I not have peace, Can I not stay asleep.
#movement Please don't follow me You won't like where I go But if you still insist Some things you need to know The road is never lit Nothing can be seen You can't see too far forward And you can't...
Head weighted down by unanswered dreams... Eyes running at the seams. Why have you waken me from my slumber. To rate me and turn me into a number. Well I'll tell you kind sit that I'm not that one.
Grey-green, Like a murky pond, Look to close and you will drown. Then a bright patch, In the middle, An explosion of speckled brown. Like a supernova, Bursting out, In the depths of space.
I always like rain best. The slow steady drizzle as it's falling from above. How it seeps through your clothes and chills you to the bone.
Fuzzy round the edges. I'm a little teddy bear. My heart is too large. Sometimes too much for people to bare. I express my feelings through words. But I'm not necessarily heard.
I only see myself, And in so many places, Some may call me vain, For my many faces, In the big mirrors, My eyes stare back, My smile is so smug, I want only to smack, I'm to stay away from, For my...
Look at me - What do you see. Is it vacant eyes, A mouth capturing lies. Or a warm heart, Laughter lines like art, A gentle smile, Or a glare to run a mile.
My eyes cradle my tears until they can fly from their nest. Once flown out on their first journey, their existence becomes suppressed. Their birth was not a easy one, it was only though my admittance.
One thing I've always wondered about Is the way that others see me Sometimes I can get self-conscious And don't act as who I want to be I'm not a shy person At least, I don't think so But I'm just...
Hug me close and I'll surround you With a warm embrace Keep an eye on the sky, you Never know when you'll retrace These subtle feelings I've been feeling Please say something to me The silence keeps...
Music in. The world out. Treated like a "rock star". And actually trying to sing. I feel like sleeping. But that just isn't happening. But this is what I enjoy. Writing on a napkin.
Sometimes, I forget. All of who I am. Sometimes, I wish. I didn't give a damn. Sometimes, I know. I shouldn't be a bitch. Sometimes, I mend. My heart with a single stitch. Sometimes, I see.
Wandering this world in search of a purpose. Lost souls scream in this earthly circus. Searching for someone or something to make life worth living. No direction and full of misgivings.
The snow falls slowly from the sky, covering the green grass, Everyday I sit by my window watching this, as days pass.
This is a poem I wrote when I was seven. I've made no adjustments to it, but I hope you like it. Have you ever wondered how things work, Or where creepy creatures lurk.
Telling me to let go... What does that even mean. Have you looked a little deeper, Have you even seen. Work out what's going on, Try to make it last. Have a little think, Walk into the past.
Perhaps I don't listen - Or I don't understand, How it whispers quietly, About how to deal my hand, I barely hear it, if at all, To be honest, It seems so very small, A little beating thing, Inside...
Wind chimes, silver tide,. Midnight cat there by your side,. The iris, onyx, tearing, scattered,. Escape, this time, is not so hard,. Your faithful friend, a nuzzling heat,.
Sewing seams,. Of broken dreams,. Chains & keys,. Unlocking the door to the free,. Give or need, give or take,. Mistake, fake, its okay,. Glass eyes can't see,. Where you should be,.
...a secret, Hiding, waiting, on your lips, A hidden truth, love, lie, Eating you from inside out, Watching you slowly die...
If you're in South Delhi right now, look outside. The sun is shining through a small clear patch in an otherwise overcast grey sky.
