[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 [...]

[252] Remembering Dreams

June 30, 2019by Rahul Gaur20 Comments

Amuse the life out of me I can’t breathe anyway Tragic turns of apocalypse The earth is shaking but I can’t breathe anyway Can’t complain for this little life Little fights and this larger divide Swallowed up by sleep I can’t complain about the places you take me It’s all an illusion anyway Hide away [...]

[248] Broken Skies

June 21, 2019June 21, 2019by Rahul Gaur6 Comments

The broken sky and its false promises of respite that some call rain while some wait for it to be called a storm A diversion from the tedious blue that only helps harshness to brittle our sheltered bones It breaks my little heart to acknowledge the void of you I was alright till now I [...]

February 1, 2019February 1, 2019by Rahul Gaur4 Comments

Changes open up scars that can’t be fixed I should learn to live with them growing in my being Push and pull of my body and my soul I’m a man without any qualities Adventures in boredom never leave my mindI sit still like I’ll be a carved statue sometime It’s my journey to the [...]

It's a sky fall around here the rockets are exploding to form stars your eyes look golden it feels safe to be in your arms but I wish I was chosen and not be just a luck formed by your cry now I wish we were older and leave what's about to come all behind [...]

I sleep at the time of your waking You yawn at my desperatation Screams inside turn into white noise It feels like the time of the wolves I crack at the sound of your fumes Too close to the sun now Flares of your regret too near My eyes melt at the sight of you [...]

[166] A Strange Look

July 2, 2018by Rahul Gaur15 Comments

The look of strangers is the look of fear being transferred from them to me from me to them It's the battle of the eyes to test each other's supremacy in a whisker of a moment and then you forget Paranoia looks upon your shoulder Your mind turns to glimpse on the periphery The evil [...]

[125] Blip On The Radar

February 4, 2018by Rahul Gaur4 Comments
