Breaking up.

My coffee is getting cold.
There is silence in the air.
We are not even looking at each other
And it’s not like we don’t care.

The thing is that past few weeks,
Things haven’t been the way it used to be.
And both of us have realized,
That it’s time we analyzed
…. Our relationship…

And even before she says those words,
About breaking up and how much it hurts her.
I wish I could just go back in time,
When we used to talk all night,
Share our secrets and sometimes, even fight.

But I don’t even try to stop her,
From doing the inevitable.
I know how hard it’s gonna be for both of us alone.
But it’s better than going through hell together.

So softly she makes her point,
How things are not gonna work out fine.
And I nod concordantly,
Telling her how things could have been.

With misty eyes she tells me,
That good friends we should always be.
Although it was a great idea,
I knew how untrue it was gonna be.

She leaves and I get back to my coffee cold,
Thinking about things, new and old.
Wondering how life’s gonna be living apart,
Is this the end or just the start
…. Of my misery…

My First Poem :)

Shipwreck

As I lay on a frame of wood,
Staring at the sky.
Like tiny gems scattered on a blanket,
Stars shining bright
All this makes me sing songs
Of survival and hope.
Blinding me from the truth,
That dead waits ahead.

I could see my wrecked ship
and life boats approaching me
Splashing of water,
People drowning deep
Pain, fear, panic,
I could sense it all
Haunting me every moment,
Every moment before my fall

My eyes grew weary,
And it started getting cold
I didn’t even realize,
When my last dream began to unfold
And then life slipped out of me
I could feel tiny drops of rain
Falling through me undisturbed
Felt just like being born again
Only this time my immortal journey
Didn’t seem to have an end.

CrossRoads

It's been so many days,
i've been walking down this street.
My shadow doesnt chase me anymore
numb have gone my feet.

But i know things are gonna get fine.
Someday on me, the sun's gonna shine.
These dark clouds around me are gonna dissapear.
My long lost friends are gonna be near.

And now i stand, staring at crossroads
which way should i choose ,the question is haunting me
i can see a different future in each one of them,
but my success in either is not gauranteed

I dont think which way i choose matters
what matters is how i walk the chosen way
Even if i walk down a gloomy road of thorns
i can make it worthwhile with a smile on my face

Vogue

V o g u e
Staring at the mirror everyday,
She hates the one looking back at her face.
Her imperfect features, her dull eyes,
which beauty magazines don't seem to embrace.
She tries to be someone everybody adores,
and in the event losing her own identity.
Look inside you, not the mirror,
you might find the person you were meant to be.

Tempted

This is my first charcoal painting and the first time i painted first and then came up with the poem for it.

TEMPTED

losing my train of thoughts
looking at this cloud of smoke.
this fire inside me is burning
and now i am losing hope

trying to avoid it now,
the one that took me higher.
my fingers are itching,
to hold the flame of desire.

try not to see
try not to smell
try not get tempted
in its illusive spell

i stick to the choices i've made
to forget the past mistakes
to turn around and walk away
cos life is just too short
to blow it all away .......
