[251] An Old Night
![[251] An Old Night](https://rahulgaurblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/img_1693.jpg?w=768)
Confessing numbness Caressing depression I’ve forgot to look in the right places Forgotten dreams of a mighty dynasty I live in abeyance Like a lonely sun No visible illness so you deny my right to feel I deny my right to bleed I lie down in hopes I’ll rise again A sharp thought flows through…

[248] Broken Skies

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…

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…

[245] The Forgetfulness Of Today
![[245] The Forgetfulness Of Today](https://rahulgaurblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/245.jpg?w=600)
Last day of college Stirring emotions inside; pouring rain outside Awareness of where we’ve come with a melancholic smile Thinking about how we’ve arrived here; why is melancholy right here? We’re witnessing the birth of nostalgia Heaviness moves with us now Shoulders drooped a little Weary eyes looking at our feet We feel removed from…

[243] Control

I’m a believer in anything but me In need for some time out of my mind Seeing sullen shadows even when it’s dark How much can I fight for so long with so little time left by my side? Denigration or adulation My self-worth is pulled to both extremes The audience claps away the little…

[242] The Generation of Change
![[242] The Generation of Change](https://rahulgaurblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/174-e1532975976191.jpg?w=1024)
We are a blank slate generation with electric appetite for honesty Self conscious insecurity Extroverted brutality We come with no baggage of history only a disconnect with reality Imagination is stretched afar We wish we were born in a different age To breathe life into our sweet nothings We wish you were born in a…

[241] Welcome To The Machine
![[241] Welcome To The Machine](https://rahulgaurblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/186.jpg?w=1024)
Grab on to something so you don’t disappear This is the ride of the lifetime are you living with your fears? We make up our minds too many times only to live through the night and wake up in a different time Block all your thoughts forget the revolution forget mankind and living for the…

[240] The Man Who Was Always Right
![[240] The Man Who Was Always Right](https://rahulgaurblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/img_1725.jpg?w=1024)
There was a man who was always right He closed his eyes to see the world in its entirety He breathed in darkness so reality could never disturb him And it never did. There was an open field in front of him but he sat on his spot unfazed His zen head cut through the…

[238] The Napkin Cafe
![[238] The Napkin Cafe](https://rahulgaurblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/132.jpg?w=1024)
Mumbai is a city where you see people drifting in and out of their own lives. Some days they feel the urge to live and some days they stay quiet and let the city consume them. On the days of living people go out in blind hope of chancing upon their destiny. They feel the…

[237] Fever Dream

Realities stack on top of each other warning me of my feeble head Fed by the system of mistakes I try to hold on to another identity to hold me together for a while again Imagine leaves stuck in stillness somewhere between green and the wilt of a brown so much so that the moment…
Smoke words every day.
