![[75] A Summary Of A Poetic Life.](https://rahulgaurblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/sunse.jpeg?w=1024)
Sometimes you forget that reality breathes. You ask yourself if this spectacle in front of you is a painting or a dream? The scenery is beyond an impressionistic work of art. Like an echo of a time that you can almost touch, the reality fades into a daydream where sounds cease to exist and imagination…

[74] Rambling About A Change.
![[74] Rambling About A Change.](https://rahulgaurblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/image_01-1.jpg?w=1024)
The urge to write has never been there in me. I looked at writing regularly as something that every writer has to do to reach a level where they are fooled into believing that what they write is decent. Today, I feel an urge to write. It’s quite a new experience given my love-hate relationship…

[73] Head Full of Rain

Let me be around your loneliness to do away with a bit of mine The rules of happiness I seem to break Can you tell me the way to despair? Being with you earns me nothing but illusion A mighty empire on a fickle ground Of which you’re the empress, the queen, the shining light…

[72] The Woman You Knew
![[72] The Woman You Knew](https://rahulgaurblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/aubrey.jpg?w=595)
Her existence demands a myth that writes itself. Her gaze, an invention of beauty in the eyes of who can view A haze that shies away when she arrives I lie to myself an unfamiliar dream But she’s not a dream but its shadow An eerie mirage of blues mixed with wines I can’t pronounce She…

[71] The Dinosaur Poem.
![[71] The Dinosaur Poem.](https://rahulgaurblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/salvador.jpg?w=640)
Fear of the unknown unsettles the clarity I was happily settled in The unsettling turns into a grim excitement as ego burns the fear away into a galaxy unknown. I embark. They appear, towering 20 feet above the trees Resilient, sturdy legs and a roar that deafens even silence In hope for an unknown galaxy,…

[70] A Guide For Forgetting Happiness.
To let monotony tire my heart I wake up. Instead, my existence is tired. A search for meaning compels me to pick up worry, confusion, frustration on the way. At last, the meaning arrives in the form of a lie My grey drizzly day ends with the quiet of my mind It’s funny how sleeping…

![[68] We All Suffer From Hope](https://rahulgaurblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/eternal-sunshine-of-the-spotless-mind.jpg?w=1024)
We all suffer from hope. A hope for a universal desire to be loved. To be loved for who we are is what we look for in a relation, be it friendship or romantic. But no one can love you for all that you are. So you build up a facade of who they want…

She lies beside me in a wakeful slumber Gulping down the dose of not speaking secrets she hides To watch her eyes, I am reminded of the colours of the space The lesson they provide: to not go beyond what you’ve been given The reason why she tells me not to look in her eyes.…

Where am I? An 8×10 square room with a feeling of no air. White walls with dirt marks caused by the edge of my dirty feet mirroring an eeriness inside my mind. The bright white light blinds me for a millisecond and then I see again. A table of inferior quality stands on its four…

[65] My Darling
![[65] My Darling](https://rahulgaurblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/my-darling.gif?w=500)
Terrorise me through your love, my darling Force your way into my mind Break what I’ve made until now because you call for a masterpiece made of and for you entirely. Be violent in your approach, my darling because I exist for a passion that numbs the world that we live in, to enter the…
