When i got to the end of the line

I took one last look behind

Not just to check how far i ran

But to see if there was any human

Lurking amidst the large crowd

Screaming my name out loud

Then i saw some faces slightly

Said some words to myself gently

“They weren’t there for me”

At least not to see me win

I did this on my own

How very naive was i

To think i crossed a hurdle that high

With nobody on my side

You think you don’t need anyone

Love, we all need someone

How grateful have you been

To those souls who picked a stone

So you didn’t have to injure your toe

The ones who said you were the best

An opinion different from the rest

Those who got your back

Even behind your back

I crossed that line for you

Thank you

I now live with an ineffable sweetness
One that was birthed with your presence
I still remember that super gaze
That bored into me like a beam of lantern
With sparks in their sapphire depths
I battled with a thousand emotions
And struggled for the right words
You gave me a limpid idea of pleasure
that exceeded my imitation for passion
And you did that without much efforts
There is so much light in you
And it didn’t pass through me
It just showed my reflection

I found me through you

I will compare you to the stars
But even the stars are out of reach
Tread softly sweetheart
For i feel your footprints
… on the walls of my heart

I want to breathe the air you breathe
And feel every thing you feel

I want to love you forever

What could i have done
If i couldn’t write
If there was no way
For me to run away
If there was no place
For me to hide my face
If there was no escape
To call my spade a spade
If there was no poetry
I think I would have exploded
From all that is inside me
All the laughter and the sadness
All the truth and the lies
All the love and the pain
All the deceptions and intentions
All the feelings
All the sins and the forgiveness

DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND?

The one closest to me
Left me for the rain to beat
A stranger likes my watch
A friend said it was still cheap
When I won a big prize
Which meant a lot to me
That same friend said
It wasn’t as big
As the one he could have won
If it was him
Then I fell in love
A friend said it can’t be real
That the person wasn’t meant for me
When I got promoted
He said I am running at a very fast speed
I wanted to get a house
My friend said I need to rethink it
Then I pretended I failed and lost it all
Now, I say I need him to help me
That friend said he already told me
But my friend?
He already left me
Do you not understand this?
