I killed a leaf

My leg stopped being in motion

At the sight of a creeping plant

Which looked so strange!

It bore no tendrils and

Pink were it’s buds but

Flowers purple, so tiny yet

Fragrant so divine.

I plucked a leaf from it’s tip

A tender leaf, which was not

At it’s best.

I pressed it against

The herculean strength of

My index finger and my thumb.

I pressed it hard,

Until the plasma collapsed and

The vacuoles bursts.

Until the walls broke down and

Turned to mesh,

Until the chlorophyll made my thumb green,

I asked the leaf,

Can you feel me killing you?

Does it hurt?

Is there any pain?

Then I wiped the tears

From my eyes,

The chlorophyll spread to my cheeks.

When did I stop loving the world?

When did the world stop loving me?

Maybe when my conscience broke

My heart turned green.

Window of peace

I have found a window in you

The one that only let things out

And not let anything in

So I stood in between

Waiting for you to let me in

Trying for you to not close it

Asking for your hand to pull me in

So that we can both open

The door of peace

I for you and you for me.

Return

Seated at the top of a hill

At the edge of a rock

Watching the sun sink deep

Into the corner of the world

Leaving us all to be feasted by darkness

Lighting up another part of world

Setting another’s papers on fire through

The magnifying glass of life and passing day.

Watching the sun die, for the night to be born.

Watching the sky change colors from

Yellow to orange to red and finally

Black covers all under it’s shield.

My eyes felt cold with tears and

The gentle wind passing by while

Resting my head on the nearby grass

And inhaling the pleasant smell

Of the crushed grass under my face

The dew fed grass and the dirt on my face.

Staring into the panoramic view of

Contrasting lights and darkness,

What will tommorow bring,

Will my heart return.

Banging my head

Banging my head on the wall

Hoping that this sound will last

Because the words that you left behind

They never left my ears and it’s drilling inside my head.

Chills traveling down my spine,

I gave you my heart and you broke it in half

Drowned one half in the ocean of words

And burned the other in the flame of hate.

I feel weak after you’ve left

I thought you to be true, more true

Than the light the sun holds.

And actually you didn’t leave

I pushed you out and

I used up all my strength for that.

Now I’m weak but I know this weakness

Will make me strong.

Banging in the same place repeatedly

Will make you numb but

In the ravages of time the cells will die

And new fresh ones will replace them.

New ones which could feel the pain

The same pain which I feels right now.

Then again the lesson you’ve taught me now

Will forever stay and thereby making me

Less vulnerable to pain, in the future that’s to come.

Receiver

I’ve called him a few hundred times

I call him, hang on to the receiver

For a few seconds, maybe minutes

Just to hear his voice, clash against my ears

Just to feel my heart go numb.

I calls him without letting him know

That this is me

That this is an intentional wrong wrong call

Just to hear a voice which once talked me of love.

I still remember our first meeting

It’s like it was a movie that I’ve seen a thousand times

And I blush everytime I sees that scene.

The first word that came out of his mouth

When he first saw me was ‘Love‘

He didn’t say anything else,

He didn’t attach anyother nonsensical word with it.

He just said love

And love it was

I smiled from ear to ear.

I call him now and hang on to the receiver

For a while, hoping to hear him say

‘Love’ once more

Just to hear the reality clash against my wall once more

Just for that.

Frozen Tears

The frozen tears in the jar, started melting

When it felt the warmth of your sun

And started pouring down through my eyes.

The frozen tears in the jar that

I’ve hidden behind the darkness of my eyes

Started melting with my heart

At the radiance of your smile.

I can’t describe how this feels

For something that’s been frozen oh so long

To flow again and move.

As it flowed away, it took a lot of things

And it left behind a lot of empty space.

Space warm enough to contain all the smiles in the world

Space wide enough to be filled with immense love,

Enough love to love the whole wide world.

As I rested my head above yours,

I saw the last of my tears

Flowing down your cheeks and it was beautiful.

Nothing frozen, no more cold

Just warm love and blissful smiles.

Feet on the ground

I’m dragging my feet on the ground

Hoping that it will get hurt

I’ll lose some skin in pinkish white

And I hope and I hope and I hope that

It will ease some pain that I feel in my heart.

.

The light never shuts me out

It always invites me in but

Now I’m hanging in the window pane

Knocking at the glass plate, tearing away the darkness bait

On the broken shards of bits and aches.

.

I was taken up above the clouds

To see the stars and then shine

And I was left alone, left alone in space

I searched the corners of the darkness and

I disappeared into Oblivion,

My heart butterly melted into Oblivion

.

I’m dragging my feet on the ground

Oh! It hurts, it aches

Oh! Light take me in, let my heart break

Let the world forget me as I turn into a milky way.
