[298] Insomnia and I

March 27, 2020March 27, 2020by Rahul Gaur2 Comments

Moonlight hits the brownness of my coffee cup kept on my cluttered table The dark moon of my eyes is turning larger in sync with thoughts that reside Insomnia chuckles at my decision as i let the coffee help it in spite of my doctor’s advice But I need to be in control not let [...]

[297] Breathe In

March 25, 2020March 25, 2020by Rahul Gaur2 Comments

The clouds have seen it allin all their shapes and formsThey hide constellations from your eyesjust so you can fall asleep on your ownAs you lay next to the warmth of yourburning chimney cloudsAs we see up aboveWe forget where we areand fade into a tunnel of timeIt’s either a daze of yesterdayor the promise [...]

[296] The Perfect Man

March 23, 2020March 23, 2020by Rahul Gaur4 Comments

I once met a man who was perfect The very sight of him made you question any type of security you built for yourself until you look closer The perfect man is in a conflict with himself He loves the world but shows silent hatred for it He knows a lot to apply so little [...]

[294] within & without

March 15, 2020March 15, 2020by Rahul Gaur3 Comments

(within) I repeat what’s in my mind to confirm the horror in reality and for you to delude me back to the night I walk alongside spaces and run for another mile I crawl back into loops as you jump in joy while you sail and tell me to change my mind (without) The water’s [...]

[293] The Edge of Extreme

March 14, 2020March 14, 2020by Rahul Gaur8 Comments

It’s a game of balance Past present and future You have to live in one of them completly madly and truly If you tip over to the other Just be ready to be drowned by time Nostalgia doesn’t know mindfulness And mindfulness doesn’t know emotions Daydreaming disregards both as if you’re not even existing You [...]

[292] Death of a Stranger

March 12, 2020March 12, 2020by Rahul Gaur2 Comments

Embers falling from a dark sky I can’t find your remains in my head Fading away through the sins i gulp A distant dream i never share I can meet you someday when you come back to me like a seizure You’re the waking after fainting Blobs of people I can’t recognise They’re standing over [...]

[291] Thrice I’ve Tried To Forget

March 7, 2020March 7, 2020by Rahul Gaur7 Comments

A happy day is a happy accident where beliefs don’t break and the sun doesn’t chase you don’t find yourself stuck in your ways It’s the time of your life Clouds seem to rain They don’t seem to hold on to shade There is an end in place The mind is your friend it says [...]

[289] Present as Past

February 28, 2020February 28, 2020by Rahul Gaur4 Comments

As time goes on Your spoken sentences break and find haven in my mind as singular words Your whole body language turns to quirks as i become a blank canvas in the presence of you When i’m not beside you i spot stars like you did I count them all like you did I call [...]

[288] The Untitled Poem

January 30, 2020January 30, 2020by Rahul Gaur6 Comments

Running so fast I’m still as the wind caught in a storm which forgets all life and the morality of it all till destruction tears it down A sleepy little town The angel with the horns and an interrupted wail I’ve forgotten any beginning I don’t remember any now The breaking of bones is so [...]

[287] Avoiding The Truth

January 21, 2020by Rahul Gaur6 Comments

I operate in unwritten words The silences the glitter and the bursts The moment before the click The dawn before it tricks night into losing the battle of sight I operate in the ashes of the cigarette that hurt the knuckle of her hands The gentle desperation of solitude that a thud of the door [...]
