[265] Still Life
![[265] Still Life](https://rahulgaurblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/screen-shot-2018-10-10-at-11-50-08-pm.png)
A loss of words and a loss of reality I lose all fire and I lost on vitality The gift lies unwrapped somewhere in the absurdity To find all my feelings Blocked memories surface to weep I sing all my worries and you sing back with silence I sing all my disappointments but you start…

[264] Distortion
![[264] Distortion](https://rahulgaurblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/2561a-img_6534.jpg)
It’s not easy to live with discontent or to watch sunsets with jet lag or to take hollow flights of fancy thoughts that come down crashing when you’re lovelorn Smoke and memories fade into you And it begins a war that you already knew We perform the dance of not knowing what we’re thinking about…

[263] Swan Song
![[263] Swan Song](https://rahulgaurblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/8f039-img_6368.jpg)
Days of explorations turn into nights in a blink Unexpected wisdom arises from low expectations Childish hands over your closed eyes and you go through the rapture finally looking through all that you blocked Whispering secrets False promises Ignorant bliss Careless smiles Carefree presence A natural state It comes back in monosyllabic dreams You’ve lost…

[262] About Health/At Your Best
![[262] About Health/At Your Best](https://rahulgaurblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/48ce2-img_6327.jpg)
Surrounded by banality Shadows searching for light It’s a dance of paralysis No healthy body in sight Flashes of mediocrity form a way to keep alive I’m alive I affirm encircled by the ravens in the night It’s hard to trap lost genius when I can only seem to find lost time Let me know…

[260] I think I know it all
![[260] I think I know it all](https://rahulgaurblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/39324-260.jpg)
A clean slate of self-discovery A push is needed to find all my checkpoints again Knowledge has become amnesic in the pursuit I can only hold so much in the little head that’s left Smoke alarm whirring in my airy bones Intoxications only resolve to bring back lost energy All that comes back is the…

Empty threats to myself I’m thinking more and wondering less She is in love with the part of me I hate Let me be anywhere but the present Let me remove myself and erode the brittle past Solace in all the self-pity you seem to read and enjoy Dangling on a thread shaped like a…

[257] Discriminating Cycles
![[257] Discriminating Cycles](https://rahulgaurblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/bdc7a-img_5017.jpg)
Time is the greatest discriminator For some there’s less For some there’s more For some it’s omnipresent For some it’s invisible There are moments you feel where you’re not the happiest but the most content You realise you don’t know the time then but then the desire to know it arises and your eyes waver…

[256] Divine Envy

Stealing the universe from God We live in divine envy We live in isolation from all the times we’ve died in our dreams Collecting rain in our umbrellas We walk away from our own self Like the darkness exists outside us And inside us is a star burning in glee The truth is rather strange…

[254] How To Be Happy: A Reminder
![[254] How To Be Happy: A Reminder](https://rahulgaurblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/119-e1515869747422.jpg)
Happiness is learning the difference between which thoughts to keep and which thoughts to let go It is to live less in imagination and to be more rooted in reality It is to be with someone else’s feelings To be helpful to them even when you’re not able to help yourself

[253] Ocean and Its Secrets

She looks away from life closer to the ocean Thoughts of identity Nibble at her feet The tide turns heavy Her mind turns light She is consumed by the ocean Goddess of insights The boat invites a freedom that she has been seeking all this while The pinks of her dress turning darker every night…

[252] Remembering Dreams
![[252] Remembering Dreams](https://rahulgaurblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/img_4672.jpg)
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…

Mountains with bad haircuts tower above the shiny eyes of the city Shy, they hide themselves under the white blanket of clouds The cities pull the blanket off only forcing the mountain to push the clouds to rain in anger over the city This push and pull becomes old The mountain wear white wigs now…

![[249] A New Day](https://rahulgaurblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/img_0255-e1561187727182.jpg)
Today the world woke up looking a little forgetful The sun didn’t feel as vengeful The newspapers had empty pages The air didn’t suffocate living Was it because we all remembered our dreams today?

[248] Broken Skies
![[248] Broken Skies](https://rahulgaurblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/img_4352-e1561085180501.jpg)
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…

![[247] A Calm Nightmare](https://rahulgaurblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/247-e1560695084674.jpg)
Personalities mixing up to cause rainbows in a storm I touch one colour to really want another Never understanding a disguise entirely I borrow another to just carry on looking up The afterglow of constellations in your eyes carry themselves into my emotional identity I feel half of what you felt Half of what there…
