Peek A Boo

priya — Sun, 09 Aug 2020 04:39:17 +0000

I stare at my shadow
As it stands in complete stillness
Is it really me or someone else being reflected
A Ghost of my past
A figure from my other life
I wonder why is it still
Unwavering yet scared
Alone and lonely
Like a child who craves a hug
The feel of a caring touch
It stares back at me
Like it awaits a response
To say it’s ok
The pain is gone
The storm has passed
But has left a calm
As I see the shining stars
Darkness peeks through
But only to suggest peek a boo
This time I missed you!

Lost My Voice

I once felt pain
Sharp and piercing
Through my heart and soul
I thought it was temporary
It will slowly go
Only to discover it was here to stay
Forever, I remember
No it was forever and a day
The Pain stayed with me
Until we became one
Now it’s gone
And I am totally numb
My heart is frozen like a block of ice
Unnerving and silent
Weighing heavy and still
Steady and lifeless
Breathing against my will
It pumps blood like a gadget
It keeps beating
But only due to habit
It is a tool
Immune to emotions
Sailing through life’s
Waverly motions
I drag along for there is no choice
I am quiet now, my feelings have lost their voice…

In Quest Of Love

priya — Sun, 09 Aug 2020 04:29:52 +0000

The need to be held and hugged
The desire to be felt and touched
The wish to be heard and seen
The passion to become and be

The curiosity to discover the world around
The eagerness to unveil the universe that surrounds
The dream to uncover and reveal
The fantasy to love, to feel

The hope to fly in the limitless sky
The ambition to reach a new high
The absurdity to seize a moment
The lunacy to epitomize future like a poet

The esctacy to live while subsisting
The warmth to feel peace when conflicting
To live and let live and to be extant
The thirst to find love before I extinct!

Changing the Story

Jun 10, 2020 When the struggles vanished and the challenges disappeared You stood strong, holding up the sphere You stayed true to your belief Whether or not life offered relief Battles were real, but it was your journey all along Creation or destruction, it had a rhythm of a song Footsteps you took, the choices you made Were yours to claim, it was your fate Life has been a valley and at times a mountain to climb You went to the depth and claimed the height You conquered the peaks and swam through the tides To come out stronger, the zest to stay alive You made it no matter how tough it became You fought with blood and tears, with friends and dears; all in the name of the game Victorious you stood, holding the flame You achieved what people thought was impossible No matter the traumas or the struggles Here you are, still standing strong and true With all you have been through As a precedent , to believe in yourself and push through To prove nothing can bring you down If you don’t want it to!

Circle of Life

Trees shed their yellowed leaves To get some new While most fall apart Some leaves stick through In hopes of getting past the fall Stay United and face it all But the strong winds waver their zeal So their fate gets sealed They cave in and fall with the breeze Dropping to the ground Meeting the other fallen leaves Only to discover they have lost Their color and glow Sitting lifeless and letting go Little shards of life left in them Their courage finally caving in Wishing they had stayed forever green And their fate today might have not been They look up the tree and wonder How wonderful it would be ; if we could remain together But one had to fall to give other a new start That’s the rule of life; some call it an art The branches now can start anew Hoping new leaves will always cling through….

Conquer

priya — Wed, 05 Aug 2020 01:40:26 +0000

When the darkness descents Enlightenment begins For everything that dies Something new comes alive The darkness sustains But the light prevails Peeking through the tiniest gap Speeding through the vaccum eventually consuming the darkness The dim glimmer that beckons Hope and courage To believe and conquer Whatever it may take Never letting the pain sucking you in Fighting till your last breath Against the power That compels you to give up Holding strong Despite the destruction That promises to destroy your core Going to the darkest spots Only to come back empowered And will like steel To repeat until you perish

Rise And Fall

I turn to gold And then i fall Only to rise again And winds sway me alive I stun with my beauty Then succumb to mutation The descend is ethereal But the dominance surreal Such is the circle of life Vicious and unforgiving It advances nevertheless Whether there is dismay or delight So sprout with glamour Come what may Rise or fall Let it be all radiant No matter how dark Never loose your shine

Broken: Part II

priya — Wed, 05 Aug 2020 01:34:16 +0000

I am Broken on the inside and broken out Reminiscing the wounds that I can no longer live without I smile fighting the demons That leave me struggling to breathe Pulling the ground from underneath my feet Reminding me of the scars in my mind The Marks on my bones And Scratches on my heart That life has left me; like a beautiful art My heart bleeds with pain and aches with dispair Only if life had been fair! My eyes stare in an endless void They go too far and come back devoid Clear of any emotions, gazing through the dark Seeing through the images failing to leave a mark Everything appears grey Making black and white the only colors to sustain I am white washed into a faint echo of me In the reflection, I no longer see me A mere structure with life sucked out of it Hollow frame of a human : broken!

Broken: Part I

priya — Wed, 05 Aug 2020 01:32:36 +0000

Something is broken inside me a piece a part or it’s just me It feels like I live my life without a heart or a heart without a heartbeat lips without a smile eyes without a glare high life but not yet living in a trance like you’re asleep Hiding my pain from the world I smile Strong on the surface, underneath volatile Broken heart with a ripped soul Noise you hear in the loudest whisper The quiet you hear in the loudest lull The pain you feel when you are completely numb The tingling you feel in the sharpest snub The ache in the heart that curves your lips The joy that brings a meltdown The mystery that solves itself And the simplicity that makes you ponder The eyes that are glazed with dryness The tears moist with the void A wandering soul in search of nothing A heart painfully contained A life to live with glorious failures A journey of a few steps in disdain A heart ripped with willful ignorance A broken soul; crumbling in pain

Abandoned

priya — Wed, 05 Aug 2020 01:30:47 +0000

Loving with all your heart But not being loved back Showing your vulnerability Only to be taken advantage of Letting your guard down Only to get hurt Building your strength Only to be broken again Igniting the flame of passion Getting burned instead Reaching out for once Only to be abandoned!
