[301] A Walk Down Memory Lane

April 4, 2020April 9, 2020by Rahul Gaur10 Comments

Fifteen steps from my bed and I reached the place of my nightmares My hand still battling with sleepy dust in my eyes Still not realising the path that lay in front of me even though it was a part of my daily routine The first realisation is cold dampness and my eyes widening to [...]

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 [...]

January 16, 2020January 16, 2020by Rahul GaurLeave a Comment

Silences pass me by Words corrupt the emotion felt I see like a caterpillar the first jump of a butterfly I’ve cried, lied, caught myself in a righteous flight only to get stuck looking at the aurora interrupted by a meteoric sky To see beauty all around or the destruction that’s impending? The best worst [...]

[284] Swimming in Circles

January 14, 2020January 14, 2020by Rahul Gaur4 Comments

The individuality is slowly stripped off while learning to forget dreams as I wake up to a tsunami of things to juggle I'm in the delusion of a mass huddle The top 10 ways to find inner peace and my focus struggles to reach the 10th point which is to declutter and focus on 1 [...]

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 [...]

[279] Past, Present & Future

December 27, 2019by Rahul GaurLeave a Comment

Living off of premonitions Surviving off of doomed predictions Can you change your fate as all your peers fail to prove you wrong Can you become something that you’ve never seen? I never realised that the aftermath is not my future I never realised the empathy for some is exclusion I’ve never seen the potential [...]

November 29, 2019December 1, 2019by Rahul Gaur9 Comments

The age of excess and the diminishing impact of the pains of our glory and the learnings of a failure Every lesson swept under the rug that is hidden under my cerebrum which is rusting in the shame for all that I couldn’t learn and all that I couldn’t tell you in time Whenever I [...]

[270] Dreaming Reality Checks

November 14, 2019by Rahul Gaur4 Comments
