[523] Count Me Out
![[523] Count Me Out](https://rahulgaurblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/img_3460.jpg?w=1024)
When the lights go outI’m left with a lack in melike damage dwells in my kneeIs it pain or upward spinal ecstasy?Playing catch up to my thoughtsAn utter abandon of prideShudder and stutter in speechAll the ravens waiting for meIn the painting of my lifelies a dark centre amidst delightMelancholic bitter sweet flightA confident self…

[522] The Ascension Back Up
![[522] The Ascension Back Up](https://rahulgaurblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/521.jpeg?w=1024)
I emerge out of my shadowto bask in the light once moreHow many more lessonsbefore I’ve seen it allThings that sparked joy no longer burnThe world outside remains so incitingYet I am a captive craniumIn a world where feelings never meet thoughts where life never meets deathAll I hear is a crackling of my dimly…

Malignant thoughts overstay their welcomeThe lure of passionand the forgetfulnessof the aftertaste it leavesThe ruins of my resolveweaker by the second To resist all temptations where the mind is forgottenTo bring awareness to my breathwhere the self is forgottenI centre my attention to the conscious tillthere is no awareness of my external surroundings Only an…

Running out of wordsin a velveteen quicksandEngulfed in the eternalI listen to my oceanic orchestraMy inner world jostles and i turn the other wayuntil i’m facing awayfrom my eventual fateEverything and nothingall at once, twice and all timesI move feelingsI force sadnessI grab the fleetingI am an enigma stuck in my own wayslocked out of…

I hide from your secretsI live in another planewhere we words are extinctso we only listen to the musicthat we emit from our bodiesThe music of our impossibilityIn another world you lay next to meIn another world we kill each otheruntil we’re born again, in another worldA million sunsets meeting at the edge of the…

Cradle me in my sufferingBreathlessness in my cryingWaves crash on my wallsTook a second to break it allBefore you turn into a strangersay it one more time you doMisty self image I’m starting to forgetSlivers of courage remainsI carry it in an open casketThe journey of remembrance is now one of survival holding onThe man…

I am anonymous to youBut we know in our white heartsthe unique way we look at things We meet on a common groundin the afterglow of our celestial dreamsThe world of reading between the lineswhere we reside in between the wordsStar crossed lovers with no end in sightHere, Jupiter is in our palms Metamorphosis of…

To find functionI silenced the voices in my headNow every poem is inaudibleevery love a compromiseHow long can you go onchasing a past that never wasChances that slipped through the cracksMemories are all we’re left withNowhere can we meet except at the funeral of my museJust to hear one last truthA hope that some things…

Revive who I was [an anomaly] when I first met you Try it one more time [persistence] Let me crumble before you It’s a wonderful sight Searching for a hand or grabbing for breath capturing it inside for times like this [delusional] when you take it all away or for times like those when you…

[104] A Story With No Ending

The anguish your lips make me feel defeat the constant melancholy I feel For they don’t touch my lips nor they open for my ears They stay put Opening only to close breathing only to swallow words back while my mind conjures what you didn’t say and twisting what you didn’t mean Alas, I am a…
