![[155] A Waking Dream](https://rahulgaurblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/155-e1527191833412.jpg)
I erode my being to get out of my mind The physical sensation of emptiness coupled with the confirmation of being alive the paradox of which is enough to take up all the space in my mind as what bothered me is without me now All I care about is this small little world where…

Decorate your room for my memories to echo less Your lingering perfume wanes in intensity as I get undressed Tormenting clouds call me out to watch them perform a show for us tonight A show we’re both an audience of separated by space and time The show gets over and I remember that my umbrella…

Let me call you by the sound of my guitar Let me invite you to my burnt home We dance here in a burning room We try here to live afar all it is It’s just my mind Let me call you mine but for a while Let me invite you to my mind We…

[152] The Purpose of Everything and Nothing
![[152] The Purpose of Everything and Nothing](https://rahulgaurblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/152.jpeg)
An original thought is an accident and an invention is inspired After all, we live in another man’s idea of a mind The creation by you is laborious like making a sculpture from a stone It’s not the movie version of progress where it seems entertaining in a montage It’s a slow burning sensation of routine…

I still remember your gestures in my dream The way your self-consciousness makes you more elegant than hideous, like you think The way your eyes held the calm of the mountains and somehow I knew the reason was me That was when fear gripped me for pain knows me way too well as it circles…

[150] A Strange Look of Knowing
![[150] A Strange Look of Knowing](https://rahulgaurblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/150.jpg)
I let strangers remain strangers Our conversation limited only by our eyes For a second they hold the future but only to break away as we see somewhere else How many potential losses sacrificed How many potential lovers avoided How many stories remained uncovered How many conversations silenced We return to our groups Some bored…

[149] The Future Waits For None
![[149] The Future Waits For None](https://rahulgaurblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/149.jpeg)
As I sit here, a realisation dawns on me. The world nods in confirmation of my fear that it doesn’t really require me as it runs without me unabashedly. This doesn’t come as a surprise at all but it comes like that strong gust of wind that uproots even the most rooted grass from the…

A snow-capped summit that evades you. You are filled with fear of the distance, of the journey that is unknown. Sounds that you’ve never heard conjure and hijack your senses packing your ambitions behind fear. One day you wake up remembering why you dreamt at all. The morning motivation coupled with no external stimuli of…

Yesterday feels like tomorrow when you’re stuck in a routine Sleeping feels like waking and dreaming feels like living Your life is muddled up in a series of activities meant to soothe you into a slumber of having no sensations finally They say love helps you find your home or the idea of it because you still…

I remember carrying the disappointment of today to tomorrow with the added baggage of guilt of not doing something about it yesterday To all my coping of adding humour to my demons or to all the mechanics of my defences that lay all your faults ahead of mine I am disappointed Sometimes I think about…

The air feels heavy when I feel your presence around even when I know you’re not around I think the grudges we hold weigh more than what forgiveness makes us feel I stumble on our memory as I walk on the same paths of yesterday I feel your presence again in this park like the…

[142] The Aftermath

All you are now is a tremor in my memory Like the coming of an earthquake but to me just an illusion of the mind All you’ve become now is just a scar on my skin Like an invisible tenant of my body but the one that makes its presence felt once in a while…

You left your memories To echo in this empty room Each corner of which hides the fragrance of your lilac breath The walls capture your heels when I held you by the waist It feels as if this is a riverbed of my insecurities This empty room It’s a result of avoidance of my pain…
