[318] Seeing Past Each Other

June 9, 2020by Rahul Gaur20 Comments

Ashes descend on a snowy field The explosion of the sun is underway The cold heat stings in an unusual rhythm The cursed air howls for some breeze Daydreaming doom has effects on your emotional internal life You feel before you imagine You imagine before you live Preparation for the worst An escape from the [...]

[317] Autumn Apocalypse

June 5, 2020June 5, 2020by Rahul Gaur18 Comments

My mind fills up like a balloon Just a pin drop away to burst The rebellion doesn’t bloom when the ruckus is confined inside Wilting away like roses for the dead The silence of a graveyard is the acceptance of death It’s the will to not live when the stars get upset Where do you [...]

[316] Imminent Amnesia

June 3, 2020June 3, 2020by Rahul Gaur12 Comments

Keeping out the sun Shadows are not welcomed here on the dark side of the moon Befriend nothingness and call upon the void Delirious normalcy a luminous explosion in the wild Woke up in a liminal space with a tired set of eyes I woke up to a sleepy world Supernova of a flower child

[315] Look Beyond Yourself

May 31, 2020May 31, 2020by Rahul Gaur14 Comments

We’re collective creatures of confusion Faking it all with profound conviction With answers devoid of questions we ramble aloud all of our unrealised emotions We stumble upon multiple universes carefully made of drunken mistakes but all in a state of sobriety So we see nothing till we don’t drink a dose of madness to see [...]

[314] No One At All

May 29, 2020May 29, 2020by Rahul Gaur16 Comments

Being someone else Being somewhere else After a while all perfume smells are familiar and the association of the smell with characters Today I wear you and try to see it all through you The way I pause before I speak The way I don’t pay attention to time at all Maybe you saw the [...]

[313] Untitled Living

May 25, 2020by Rahul Gaur16 Comments

The secrets of the skies lie at our feet but we're busy looking up forging the present in the hope of a future Stuck in limbos of wanting to live and the hustle of dying slowly we find ourselves lost most of the time when we should lose ourselves often to find what we're all [...]

[312] Seeing It All

May 23, 2020May 23, 2020by Rahul Gaur1 Comment

dismantling universes indifferently The starry sky abyss consumes souls we're spectators of our own demise playing Gods by our permission A lone wolf strays by the pond drinking skies out of thirst The darkness befalls on us all like a reunion of angry clouds I'm curled up in confusions The rain falling in dozes I [...]

[311] Getting What I Seek

May 21, 2020by Rahul Gaur16 Comments

Needless destiny and a need for intervals To pause feeling this way cracks about to split open I lie awake tired unable to sleep A worthless life at the hook of every sentence and an unfulfilled potential waiting beyond every full stop.

[310] floating by

May 19, 2020by Rahul Gaur6 Comments

blue sunset and a royal sleep drum rolls to wake up to a stormy sea broken pearls waterboard inside of me no signs of a sky only bubbles of a life everyone else is hollow but i’m full of the sea

[309] Broken Compass

May 17, 2020by Rahul Gaur5 Comments

Anger and bitterness no recollection of my arrival here Almost forgetting the summit when I'm diving down to the ground Power corrupts the feet of a prophet The halo is a chain that makes them levitate Success only increases the distance from the making of it all, it's just the bracing of the fall The [...]
