Optimistic much..??

The dance of the eloquent
The whispers of the shadow
The singing tunes of the silent
The drama of the life

Affects us everyday
Life as we know it
Has been demonstrated as enemy
All was going great and bam hit life
The whole art of breathing in
The peace and the serenity
The whole process of exhaling
Pressure and negativity

Lost in the noises of our mind
Lost in the bonanza schemes of society
Lost in the vastness of our incapabilities
We have turned our eyes away
Not being generous is our propensity
Its time we exculpate
From this facade
We acknowledge the reality
Set an example to follow
Lets be the psithurism
That calms everyone
Not the silence that kills

Lets relive with no boundations
No judgements no fears
Say no to the bonanza
And yes to living
Lets celebrate life and not make it an enemy!!

Anxiety – to speak or not to speak!!

Somewhere a notification was heard
A plan was made
Right in that instant
A hurricane also started to form
A cycle I face every time
My mind starts to repudiate
The two sides ready to battle
To go or to not go
This plan becomes onerous
This tittynope of a thought
Made my living hell
All emotions rising like a lava
The volcano that should be dormant
Inflicts unforeseen damage
My instinct was warning me
This will happen
I protested thinking It was all handled
Realised it was just my mere imagination
Woken up by this thunderous storm
Now I am awake, with swords drawn
To make it stop, I cancel the plan
Another voice counters, it will happen again
In between these voices, I wither

Somewhere a phone was ringing
Seeing the name and knowing what will follow
A hurricane was starting to form again
From meeting to talking
The misery had grown again
In between the voices, I do pick up the call
But there was less words spoken today
Troubled breathing, bad jokes
Listening to the taunts slathered with sarcasm
Hiding the angst behind the forced smile
The cycle has increased its diameter
Day by day, there is a new chapter
Added in the list of many
Fighting these chapters
In between these voices
I am able to stay afloat
But now it a preoccupation
Not doing nothing, not an option
Only if this fight was more noticed
And given importance, I might not have
Reached such a point of desperation.

Battlefield

The model was made
On the go
Design of it
Erratic
Changing and evolving
Every second
Changing yes
Evolving not so much
Elusive I had become
Delaying the inevitable
Escaping the reality
I had locked myself
In the depths of
Several masked layers
Sometimes it felt
Life was on fast forward
And I on a pause
Cruising through the
Daily chores like I was
On an automatic mode
Other days had no energy
To spare, wanted to sleep
For the rest of the day
Surviving like this
Nobody wants
Still we choose it
Afraid of the costs
I was hiding
Afraid of consequences
The silent changes
Of my character
If I were to face them
I will loose a lot
Some people, some pieces,
Some emotions will be forgo
No supporting roles
No supporting casts
The way to solitude
Seems rich these days
Realising I have been on one
Since many days
This fact is hard to accept
The resistance faced
Is immense
Torn in between
So many notions
The heart and soul
Are becoming mixed
With a dozen emotions
Turning against each other
It is a battle of a lifetime
On the battlefields of my mind.

Fear

The fears of my mind
Which fears I do not know
Or all the fears I know
Hidden underneath the
Aloof exterior

These fears are
Classified
Not meant to be
Disclosed

Fear is just one word
Amassing in it all
Which cannot be put in words
Or defined in terms

Fear I call it
Scare me it does
Just the thought of
Raising the curtains
Gives me shivers all over

The things that lie
In that dark space
Make me afraid
Of any Shadowy explorations
Of any expeditions
Inside this haze

Fear I call it
As it sounds normal
To all those who
Do not understand
For I don’t want
Fake support nor
Superficial words
Frustrated by these
Well-wishers and
My own self
I try to sum up
All the burden
In this one word
Fear

Fear – of taking it on
Of opening the pandora box
Or letting go of the minute
Control, to loose the slight
Ray of hope, to turn these
Thoughts into self loathing quotes
Of opening the gates
Of all my failures
Of not standing up to
Anyone’s expectations
Of the negative spiral
I weave and weave
With an entanglement
Very hard to break
Knots over knots
Loops over loops
No starting point
No ending point
An endless cycle
In despair
I instinctively
Try to escape
Calling it my fear
The anxiety and all that it bears
Are the demons that rampage in my
Interiors.

The heart and its wishes.

The heart and its wishes
Unreasonable and stupid
Still making sense
To all our existence
Like it all what we need

Wanting to get a hold of them
The longings and the desires
To be quenched over and over
Until you are fulfilled
Which seems to be never
As we fall deeper in the
Ocean of these feelings
Never can they be vanquished
Rather become a part of our being
More often the entirety of our being.

The wanderlust never dies
From exploring ever nook every cranny
From their body to their soul
The journey just gets longer
And longer, with all new surprises
That await in our way.

In the hopes of finally
Becoming one with love
We keep on ameliorating
Our inner self
Never changing the weirdness
But still becoming better
The kind that make you
Attain all that you thought
You never could.

Or the kind that takes you
On a spiral of netherworld
Making you loose everything
In a heartbeat, no mercy at all.

The heart and its wishes
Unreasonable and stupid
Takes us on journeys
More often than not leading
Through a path of
Darker and secluded roads
Changing us and leading
To a brighter not but better side
Better not but a different side
A different not but a mature side!

Is it true?

Dubious life
With its twists and turns
Making it worse
Our uncanny mind

Playing games of make-believe
Leading us ashtray
With the zillions puzzling thoughts

Deceiving us
Manipulating us
Backstabbing us
Right when we finish the path

Changing and growing
In this turmoil
We fail to recognise
Our needs and wants
Or ourselves moments apart

Working hard
To bridge these gaps
We continue our struggle
Hidden from all

Self-loathing
Whining
Wavering energies
Breaking us apart

Still we keep going on
In the hopes to prevail over it all
Such is the fight
On our daily roll calls
Hidden from all
Under the curtains
Of that smile we wear
An armour or a mask
Its hard to figure out now!!

Wavering Hopes, Damaged Soul!

Hopes were sown
Carefully catered and protected
The seasons passed by
Yet not a sprinkle
Despondent I had become

The stores were running out
Prices paid were heavy
Took a toll on the souls
The very existence of them endangered
Some were martyred, some murdered

In such turmoils
Was the state of my mind
Lost in a maze
Covered with dew
No exits, no clues

Each day darker
Some days shone with light
Soon swallowed by dark clouds
A scary cycle it turned out to be
Like caught in the eye of the storm

Arrhythmic heartbeats
Sleepless nights
Difficulties in breathing
A block had laid on my chest
Heavier each day
Leaving me in disarray

Between these bouts of
Anxiousness and depression
There came some days like autumn
The season of harvest
Some call it….for me it was
A few days to replenish the fight

Finding some small seedlings
In the midst of these catastrophes
At my mind’s behest
I realise the benevolence of nature

Hope had taken roots
And were showering its fruit
A small gratuity for the dreams
Shattering as the eyes open
Only thing I forgot was
Fruits fall away from the tree
To those who come under it
To take shelter and protection

With no reciprocal
With no return
This one way transaction
Was reaping its own fruits
The scars were grave
Newer ones in processing

But who could stop the nature
Seeds sown had to germinate
And complete their life cycle
Thats the destiny of nature
To give and be burnt in return!!

Rant on love with love!

The interlude between
Knowing him and falling for him
Was a quite space
Filled with unheard emotions
Paranormal almost
Catching you unaware
No warnings at all
Passing through all the walls
Staging itself in the centre of your being

As a storm raises inside the heart
The mind becomes a mess
Amid the war between the heart and the soul
All I could spout is codswallop
Loosing my footing
Making a fool of myself
Finding my way back
And yet falling more
The sudden increase in heartbeats
Just by sharing same space as him
The joy and desires it brings
Along with the heartaches
Love springs up on us
With nowhere to run
Resist it or fight it
In the end it still wins

Whoever said falling in love is easy
Forgot to tell about all that follows
Forgot to tell you never choose
Your soul just chooses the connection
And your heart starts beating anew
With beats that become the music of your life!!

Finding Us!

Fighting every day
Losing all the charms
Staying together chaotic
Obligation it was becoming
Rather than wants
Apologies common
Feelings were gone
Or buried under
The everyday chore
Of being normal
Of being responsible
Of being understanding
Of being sane
Hiding away all
Insecurities and insane
Deeming it destructive
They realised
Under a full moon
No other stars to shine
Their wilderness released
Like an instinct
To save the dying
Love and individual
Both alike
Under the antre of made self
Did they finally find themselves
And where their heart reside
Fighting continued
Charm increased
Staying together meaningful
With a new ramble
Together in life.
