[300] How To Control Anger

April 3, 2020by Rahul GaurLeave a Comment

I looked in my heart to understand what caused me pain What right do I hold to cause the same pain to break the gentleness of another I looked inside my heart to understand how we burn the earth how strange is it for us to call the people who live here as cold when [...]

[299] Birth & Death

March 31, 2020March 31, 2020by Rahul Gaur7 Comments

All i am is an inspiration inspired by the jotting down of the memory of another being who lived someone else’s ideas Ideas that came by wonder or as wrongly presumed by divine intervention I’m far removed from reality For reality is wonderment Reality is dismantling the narrative in my head that is shaping my [...]

The clouds have seen it allin all their shapes and formsThey hide constellations from your eyesjust so you can fall asleep on your ownAs you lay next to the warmth of yourburning chimney cloudsAs we see up aboveWe forget where we areand fade into a tunnel of timeIt’s either a daze of yesterdayor the promise [...]

[295] Back To My Ways

March 17, 2020March 17, 2020by Rahul Gaur10 Comments

[294] within & without

March 15, 2020March 15, 2020by Rahul Gaur3 Comments

(within) I repeat what’s in my mind to confirm the horror in reality and for you to delude me back to the night I walk alongside spaces and run for another mile I crawl back into loops as you jump in joy while you sail and tell me to change my mind (without) The water’s [...]

[292] Death of a Stranger

March 12, 2020March 12, 2020by Rahul Gaur2 Comments

Embers falling from a dark sky I can’t find your remains in my head Fading away through the sins i gulp A distant dream i never share I can meet you someday when you come back to me like a seizure You’re the waking after fainting Blobs of people I can’t recognise They’re standing over [...]

A happy day is a happy accident where beliefs don’t break and the sun doesn’t chase you don’t find yourself stuck in your ways It’s the time of your life Clouds seem to rain They don’t seem to hold on to shade There is an end in place The mind is your friend it says [...]

The lake ceased in its darkness until the buildings swayed in rainbows A dance of colours like an incessant candle The flags happen to confirm wind’s existence With this in front of me Why am I still in my head?

[289] Present as Past

February 28, 2020February 28, 2020by Rahul Gaur4 Comments

As time goes on Your spoken sentences break and find haven in my mind as singular words Your whole body language turns to quirks as i become a blank canvas in the presence of you When i’m not beside you i spot stars like you did I count them all like you did I call [...]

[288] The Untitled Poem

January 30, 2020January 30, 2020by Rahul Gaur6 Comments

Running so fast I’m still as the wind caught in a storm which forgets all life and the morality of it all till destruction tears it down A sleepy little town The angel with the horns and an interrupted wail I’ve forgotten any beginning I don’t remember any now The breaking of bones is so [...]
