~- the flawless fairy spotted deer..
(an inspired lyrical from the 1981 Tamil film #AayiramNilaveVaa -
a female solo sad number sung hauntingly by the living legend
singer #PSusheela & scored by Maestro Ilayaraja, song linked below)
https://youtu.be/ITNHmYoUVek?feature=shared
(intro verses)
stranded in the gushing
shores of the holy Ganges..
she, a mesmerize of a spotted dear.. yet there
in a deeply torn~ thirsting melancholic daze
is in search of.. the waters..
yes, in search...

Stricken
I think of you often
for all the wrong reasons
and maybe a couple of right ones
the right ones that you discarded
because they felt insincere
have never stopped haunting me
if my obsession wasn't obvious
my affections should have at least
been spared your anxious pruning
the mortal fear of believing love
could bloom in the dankest of crevices
that, years of friendship could outlive
the conspiracy in your head, instead.
I was heart broken

any deeper even if i...

last poem for "you..."
the addiction i had for you,
the intoxication i had for you
i have returned it all
yes, i have left you
i had seen you once on
the shining mountains of desires
n my empty eyes had
found peace once
i had placed
a lot of hopes on you
but i kept floating alone
in the river of hope
i kept sleeping alone
on the soft petals of red roses
i kept searching for you
in the smoke coming out of my two fingers
i wish you could see that...
my poor heart has become like a...

Don't take your life away
Don't take your life away look for me,
If you want me to stay by your side I'll be,
That knife in your hand can you put it down,
Why do you think it'd be better of you weren't around?
Don't take your life away,
Is my love enough to make you stay?
We are dying while we're living,
Time is flying moments are missing,
Those pills you took can you spit them out,
Take another look you're covered in doubt,
Don't take your life away,
Atleast not right away,
How many times have you thought,
If you were dead...
If you want me to stay by your side I'll be,
That knife in your hand can you put it down,
Why do you think it'd be better of you weren't around?
Don't take your life away,
Is my love enough to make you stay?
We are dying while we're living,
Time is flying moments are missing,
Those pills you took can you spit them out,
Take another look you're covered in doubt,
Don't take your life away,
Atleast not right away,
How many times have you thought,
If you were dead...

amuck
my thoughts crash into you with a great ache of rejection
my face turned towards yours, you look away
assaulted vision, you with someone else
my sacred vault spill out
my vulnerability on display
words tumble from my lips
ones of hurt and sadness
until it turn to anger
then my wrath burn
my heart turn into a razor
slashing at yours
darkness peak inside me
and I do the unthinkable
whispering I love you
with thoughts of treachery in mind
my mind turn dark, and I can't control myself
sabotage...

puzzled
such a beautiful thing we have
why do we kill each other
beauty is everywhere
and we turn it ugly
hate is winning
love is losing
so fucking
confusing

Tired and Cold
I'm cold
And sad
And tired
I don't have the brain power to work
Yet I'm here
Pushing through the noise and chaos
I really don't want to be here
I just want to sleep
Better yet, get a good night's sleep
Haven't had that in a while
I don't know what my problem is
I'm exhausted
Some days I just don't want to function
Some days it's hard to care about anything
I'd rather be laying in bed under a blanket watching a show or movie or something
And sad
And tired
I don't have the brain power to work
Yet I'm here
Pushing through the noise and chaos
I really don't want to be here
I just want to sleep
Better yet, get a good night's sleep
Haven't had that in a while
I don't know what my problem is
I'm exhausted
Some days I just don't want to function
Some days it's hard to care about anything
I'd rather be laying in bed under a blanket watching a show or movie or something

cloudy
getting in rhythm with myself, my mind spins
my thoughts turn dark, and I internalize
intellectualize my feelings
There doesn't seem like an excuse for them
sky-scraping with my intent
ends up dumpster-diving with my dreams
hateful emotions they sell me short
the weather inside me looks bleak
A flash flood warning means I'm going to cry
threatening clouds form in my eyes
Don't look at me; it's obvious I'm about to break
sincerely confused
My self-worth is in the pits
seeking insanity as a place to shelter ...

No
You hurt me
you hurt me
you hurt me
you hurt me
you hurt me
you hurt me
you hurt me
You tell me this is love
and you're sorry
and I drink in
Believe
every
Last
drop.
You
Are a storm in a desert.
I am a wellspring.
you hurt me
you hurt me
you hurt me
you hurt me

You tell me this is love
and you're sorry

Believe

fossil
i'm dead inside-
my heart's a corpse-decayed...decomposed;
lovelessness and apathy
bludgeoned my emotions,
withered my psyche.
inundated by sorrow and loneliness,
it seems eternity...
the heat of coldness and indifference,
whilst the pressure to be a diamond
in the wilderness;
crushed me, burdened me
as seasons took their course-
alas! i turned into coal.
i'm a fossil...

I Woke in the Dark and Came to Find You
Awake in the far away
morning origami enfolds
sun into nested wreaths,
flights of light lift lids of urn jars
love’s black box records more than bones
Will the strangers who fuck in rearranged spaces
handrail the walls, fingerprint the window hinges
left slightly open to stained absence of passion, lived?
Sea susurration weaves through curtains,
our shingle breaths wrote a beach
where the tides never reach
Slept my way back to
the music of our rains
and broken landscapes
morning origami enfolds
sun into nested wreaths,
flights of light lift lids of urn jars
love’s black box records more than bones
Will the strangers who fuck in rearranged spaces
handrail the walls, fingerprint the window hinges
left slightly open to stained absence of passion, lived?
Sea susurration weaves through curtains,
our shingle breaths wrote a beach
where the tides never reach
Slept my way back to
the music of our rains
and broken landscapes
