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
![[288] The Untitled Poem](https://rahulgaurblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/ba2b0-img_9095.jpg)
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…

[287] Avoiding The Truth
![[287] Avoiding The Truth](https://rahulgaurblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/f4cea-img_8807.jpg)
I operate in unwritten words The silences the glitter and the bursts The moment before the click The dawn before it tricks night into losing the battle of sight I operate in the ashes of the cigarette that hurt the knuckle of her hands The gentle desperation of solitude that a thud of the door…

A picture so grey, on a broken paper it remains It conjures up a time that held importance but only in the back of my mind Time turned its wheels and it let it drown away it let it bury under the tip of the iceberg Now all I see is a blinking light in my…

[283] Pendulum of Thoughts
![[283] Pendulum of Thoughts](https://rahulgaurblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/7bfd7-img_8703.jpg)
I know my illness better than I know myself It’s a cold morning breeze on the last day of summer There is no knock before it enters or any calm before the storm It makes me taste an ecstasy that comes with an understanding that there is a ceiling to every summit and no one…

[282] together we’re apart

Is it peace or the calm before the storm? My nimble fingers force my eyes close to forget all the frequencies that I find clashing when my focus tries to pull together a semblance of an insight into us Forget all the disturbance in the frequencies between us Forget all the distance that’s increasing by…

I wrote small words before I met her Now I find myself writing them in the grandest of strokes She salvages all my crumpled paper mistakes and glues them back together to reveal an exhibition of my improvement She made me understand that silences don’t necessarily need distraction but sometimes it just needs listening She…

[280] Prelude to an Apocalypse
![[280] Prelude to an Apocalypse](https://rahulgaurblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/99078-img_8402.jpg)
I’m pretty still till i will myself to sit and until you arrive I stand up unconsciously You’re the morning dawn The creepers of the night kill the silence between us as we discuss in the quiet all the things we said before neatly imprinted in our minds forcefully spoken by our hearts The black…

In the city of depression that sells distraction in the night I catch you staring at the ceiling of a club to disguise the mood you found yourself in tonight The music blares above my crackled call for attention A faint breaking voice breaks through the cacophony You look like you’ve heard the sound of…

Disintegration of all the patience that i’ve been building for myself It just takes one night to relive all the plight that i’ve been slowly meaning to forget It’s not a physical ailment and people only believe in what they see It’s not an exaggeration but even i’ve never seen what i’ve believed in Climate…

My free advice to you is falling on my deaf ears I project it all to you in hopes that I get myself to hear a cry for help and a life to live I walk in fear and paralyse my honest voice that screams in vacuum all the dreams unfulfilled I create behaviour over…

I listen to you and go back to a time where I lived a simpler life Where your tales of grandeur were happening in the corner of my eye You describe all the sins to forget Morals that you trampled on Why does it then feel familiar? Am I seeing what I experienced more than…

[271] Making of The Truth
![[271] Making of The Truth](https://rahulgaurblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/fba8b-img_7342.jpg)
What pushes a person from knowing something to be true to believing something to be true? It’s the journey between knowledge and feeling that knowledge. The gap between thinking and doing. To understand this is to know yourself. You are gradually learning the things that shape you and you begin to create these surroundings by…

[269] Lying To Myself

All that I’ve written previously are thoughts that I no longer remember, words that I didn’t act upon and feelings that I don’t relate to. Is all we are the thoughts that we hold then? Or are the ones I’m writing out now going to become a part of my subconscious soon? Will these thoughts…

You forget the process when you stay away from it long enough. The process of beginning again rusts to form resistance and you feel lost while trying to find the spark to discover fire again. There is the idea and then there is a journey you go through to reach that idea or let that…
