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 [...]

Plague my mind with mysteries that offer no delight Call me out on all the ignorant vices I keep to keep my sense of self Attention deficit Distracted feelings Overwhelming Living I think of all the simple things that we're losing out I fall before I jump I speak before I think out loud to [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Today the world woke up looking a little forgetful The sun didn’t feel as vengeful The newspapers had empty pages The air didn’t suffocate living Was it because we all remembered our dreams today?
![[248] Broken Skies](https://i1.wp.com/rahulgaurblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/img_4352-e1561085180501.jpg?fit=720%2C366&ssl=1)
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 [...]
![[246] Confused Clarity](https://i1.wp.com/rahulgaurblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/246.jpg?fit=720%2C373&ssl=1)
My distraction is aware of all that it lacks. It can be missing out on the various sounds of rain or it can be not holding the knowledge to appreciate architecture it falls on. I accept that there is a lot that I don't accept. I understand that there is a lot that I don't [...]

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 [...]
