[124] We Live To Die Again

January 27, 2018by Rahul Gaur26 Comments

The lie of your fragrance it keeps me alive The lingering waves of the ocean of truth sweeps me aside I lie here with your distant memory to make me alive But the boredom of everyday existence sweeps me aside A whisper of unsaid things curl around my lips again to watch you not knock [...]

Hi fellow bloggers, In 2017, I started this blog with the intention of becoming a consistent writer. In 1 year I've gained 1,100 followers with 33,500 views but I feel like I don't know the people who read my blog enough. So, as I delve deep into this community of WordPress, I want to know [...]

[122] The Secret of My Life

January 26, 2018by Rahul Gaur12 Comments

I sleep to hide and to not utter the secrets that I distort in my mind As your assumed reaction destroys me into a doomed fraction of mankind that tries to live a truthful life I wake to run from the dreams of your demise that are etched like the tattoo on your skin that [...]

[121] Pursuit of Stillness

January 22, 2018January 22, 2018by Rahul Gaur17 Comments

[118] Remnants Of Your Remembrance

January 6, 2018by Rahul Gaur28 Comments

A silent sentence I pass on myself like the stillness you've left behind bit by bit it rips apart the colours Now all there's left is a monochromatic melancholy flashbacks of your memory They haunt me still like a deja vu I try to brush it aside as my mind's trickery when all it does [...]

[117] The Battle Of The Idle Mind

January 5, 2018by Rahul Gaur31 Comments

An idle mind sits alone stoic as its nature it sits wandering with no aim A preface to the devil's workshop It seduces the soul inside The mind meditates on its decision but considers all the outcomes They range from despair to joy to suffering In order to avoid suffering ignorance comes to the rescue [...]

[116] The Spiral of Ignorance

January 3, 2018by Rahul Gaur26 Comments

every time you leave i wish it is a sunset and i wait laying and lying hoping you will return as a sunrise harsh in your remembrance but sweet in your memories you tell me a story that meanders through my mind as i look at you curling your hair with your fingers in a [...]
