![[264] Distortion](https://rahulgaurblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/2561a-img_6534.jpg)

[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…

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…

Righteous rebels devouring fast food for knowledge Forming systematic methods of slow suicides by reading headlines as speeches by reading speeches as laws The excitement of a person also reveals their insecurities hidden behind their energies that dismiss the calm of their voice The louder the sound the fickle the idea behind the thought No…

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…

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](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

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…

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…

[251] An Old Night

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…

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…

The fear starts with me turning into a manifestation of grief It grows into the zeitgeist of the decade electing puppets that know how to let it serve them The panic starts with me turning into a pilgrim of atheists who journey towards confusion which becomes a weapon for the headstrong mob The trust starts…

Trying to find a way In a world so unknown Giving meaning to words so you and I don’t feel alone In this blue dot of loneliness we live life while circling the hot flame of death we try to breath fire Trying to oscillate between what’s acceptable and what’s not and not what we…
