I turned my back...

And I ran...

My way...

Back to you.
 

Not Safe to Love You

 But I don't want to fall...

If its not safe...

To love you.

I don't want to jump...

Into your arms...

Not knowing if you'll catch me too.

And I don't want to slip...

Into illusions...

Of blurry and gray hues.

So that is why...

I don't want to fall...

If its not safe...

To love you.

Revisited

 But her words are intricately woven in her heart,

Dates and names long forgotten,

But they are all written in black and white art,

In the shadows of her memories revisited so often.

Justifying You

 And so many eyes got caught up,

But it was different when it was you who turned.

Like a million falling stars the heavens unwrapped,

Aligned in front of my eyes and framed.

And I wouldn't mind burning all the bridges,

If that would mean I could build one to get to you.

Amidst the tides, the waves, the breaches,

Adding all the clauses to justify that it's you.

Left Alone in Heaven

It was so elating to have these wings,

Soaring high above until there's oblivion in everything.

But the heavens got lonely,

When for all we know it was built perfectly.

And we all shine in our brightest,

Until no one knows what shining really meant.

Like how will you know you're on top of a mountain?

When all your life you never looked down on plains.

And so everyone chased liberty out of the perfection,

Cause we found out that there is a flaw in our heavenly civilization,

And when all of the angels are fallen,

I was left alone here in heaven.

 

Written

 But your name is written all  over my playlist,

Like personal lyrics in my favorite songs.

Like rhyming words in my Poetries.

Like coffee and cup, they belong.

But your name is written in my  stories,

Like a hero in my favorite book I have drawn.

Like a beautiful knight in movies.

Like rain and breeze, they belong.

But your name is written all over the places,

Like streets and houses and cobblestones.

Like getting lost with familiar traces,

Like stars and the sky, we belong.

 But aren't we all are prisoners of life?

And most of us never wanted to be free.

Struggling with all the cares as we hold on tight.

Not understanding that death could give us liberty.

 So I was watching Netflix series "When They See Us" and oh God! My heart is breaking the entire time. So much violence and injustice all at same time. 

God help us all. Amen.

Fervent Confessions

I whispered to the moon your name,

And I confessed to the stars all the feelings that I felt so in vain.

But no shooting star dared to let go of their heavens.

And so the constellations remained the same.

And so I whispered to the moon your name,

Confessing my fervent prayers in flames.

But these letters are addressed to the winds,

And the ethers are just black frames.

But I whispered to the moon your name,

Auburn embers confessing my shames.

These ethereal emotions are so delicate to feel,

Flickering glitters of little hopes I claim.
