A blackbird soars, circling my tragedyAmorphous thoughts form in my mindI dare not brave its end Nor even stand amidst its trance to not be lost againTo be lost is to no longer be groundedIt is not flying in the infinite skyIt is a hopeless free fall for a hopeful divine interventionIt is a leap…

[218] Confused Certainty
![[218] Confused Certainty](https://rahulgaurblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/img_0461.jpg)
My body has memorised waking at a time when the world is asleep It’s the only time of honesty I harbour There is no need for me to impress There is no need for me to second guess It feels too good to be true So feeling undeserved I sleep to wake when the world’s…

[202] The Performance of an Artist
![[202] The Performance of an Artist](https://rahulgaurblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/img_9713.jpg)
Nothing satisfies an artist. We are creatures who’ve got self-doubt running in our veins. Everywhere we go we remind ourselves of our inadequacy to be better/best. We hold our failures on a pedestal rather than letting our victories dance around our mind. Even to call ourselves artist only springs up an emotion of cringe in us. The myth…

Hi fellow bloggers, In 2017, I started this blog with the intention of becoming a consistent writer. In 1 year I’ve gained 1,100 followers with 33,500 views but I feel like I don’t know the people who read my blog enough. So, as I delve deep into this community of WordPress, I want to know…

So focused on where I’m going I forget where I am Loneliness masked as solitude Caught in a corrupt mind’s reverence The evil masked as aspiration I live under the devil’s imminent invitation unconcerned and unperturbed The nihilism and existentialism soothe and caress my worries but does it make them go away? for that, I…

bit by bit my skin wears off To see your true colours has been harrowing for my bones they demand a sight coupled with denial My body resists its shedding as your words slice it again & again bit by bit melting away like the resolve i had for you when you met me besides the…

He slept on her side But his mind was above Like a cloud full of rain Waiting to just burst But he watched her go to peace One of those rare times While he simmered up inside An effort to stay still An effort to let this night by He couldn’t understand All the things…

The universe curled around her neck Sometimes it tightened Sometimes it expanded Her reaction for both though Was from a dark philosophy that always left her gasping She stepped on the streets to find them all staring Trying to touch the wind that drove all around her Never realising that to her It was a…

[89] The Morning
![[89] The Morning](https://rahulgaurblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/img_0695.jpg)
Mornings that slow down time, by letting in a light sunlight, are the best mornings. The sweet coolness while you lay enveloped in your blanket struggling to wake. The sudden rush of the light sunlight turning into a harsh one is the call for an end to the slow morning. Until that harshness hits your…

![[69] Cure Your Writer’s Block By Doing This.](https://rahulgaurblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/disquiet.jpg)
The economy of the like minded has created a perception that writer’s block is a phenomenon that can be overcome only by an inspired mind. The need to understand that a constant state of flow can also spring up new ideas and reveal your underlying feelings just because your neurons are sparking up is paramount…

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…

I In a dark silent box, I’m breathless A revolt broods like lava Like a calm before the storm She moves inside the box and gives me music. II I live somewhere in between your remembrance and denial. You live somewhere in between my fragrance and a lie. We speak through shapes of clouds, the…

I have 16 drafts pending on my editing table. I have 6 stories ready for revision. I have around 18 topics that I can write on in 30 minutes and publish them here. But I don’t. Because of fixation to perfection. I think that things can always get better, I can always do better than…

There is a sensation that I wish does not come to you. You are up, the sunlight wakes you. What is the beginning of the day feels like an end of you, to you. You try to shake these lifeless thoughts but in a blink, they have rusted and you can no longer repair them.…
