[275] All Paintings are Self Portraits

December 12, 2019by Rahul Gaur1 Comment

My free advice to you is falling on my deaf ears I project it all to you in hopes that I get myself to hear a cry for help and a life to live I walk in fear and paralyse my honest voice that screams in vacuum all the dreams unfulfilled I create behaviour over [...]

[274] Let’s Talk About It

December 2, 2019December 2, 2019by Rahul Gaur5 Comments

I listen to you and go back to a time where I lived a simpler life Where your tales of grandeur were happening in the corner of my eye You describe all the sins to forget Morals that you trampled on Why does it then feel familiar? Am I seeing what I experienced more than [...]

[273] Breathing Yesterday’s Air

November 29, 2019December 1, 2019by Rahul Gaur7 Comments

The age of excess and the diminishing impact of the pains of our glory and the learnings of a failure Every lesson swept under the rug that is hidden under my cerebrum which is rusting in the shame for all that I couldn’t learn and all that I couldn’t tell you in time Whenever I [...]

[272] About Past Love

November 21, 2019November 21, 2019by Rahul Gaur3 Comments

A rusted bench on a worn out boat It takes up all my attention as it’s holding all of you that i’m holding all in me Waves gush on the boat We land on our head We bleed away our minds We die inside time Carry me over to where you reside where the old [...]

[271] Making of The Truth

November 19, 2019November 22, 2019by Rahul GaurLeave a Comment

What pushes a person from knowing something to be true to believing something to be true? It's the journey between knowledge and feeling that knowledge. The gap between thinking and doing. To understand this is to know yourself. You are gradually learning the thinhs that shape you and you begin to create these surroundings by [...]

[270] Dreaming Reality Checks

November 14, 2019by Rahul Gaur3 Comments

The passing of my sleep signal a doom of my dreams where I watch all that I think I needed linking it with the edge of reality Of lost paths, I could have taken to happiness Of the ways, that I could not fear less It arrives to me like a bohemian sensation Light in [...]

[269] Lying To Myself

November 11, 2019by Rahul Gaur10 Comments

All that I’ve written previously are thoughts that I no longer remember, words that I didn’t act upon and feelings that I don’t relate to. Is all we are the thoughts that we hold then? Or are the ones I’m writing out now going to become a part of my subconscious soon? Will these thoughts [...]

[268] Communication

November 10, 2019November 10, 2019by Rahul Gaur2 Comments

I mix up silence for aggression Fighting you in imaginary wars Where do you find your words usually? It seems you’ve lost your way Your answer comes as a bitter understanding “Feelings turn into half thoughts Words impure them usually Sentences jumble the feeling i felt that i’ve lost since you’ve come in my way”

[266] 42.

October 31, 2019by Rahul Gaur4 Comments

Naturally, we're all filled with self-doubt in every waking moment. A feeling that normally stays dormant till we're faced with the mountain of expectations. Either from us or from others. What we need to understand is that these expectations are given articulation by our own mind. So in a sense, these expectations are self-made. But [...]

[265] Still Life

October 28, 2019October 28, 2019by Rahul Gaur5 Comments

A loss of words and a loss of reality I lose all fire and I lost on vitality The gift lies unwrapped somewhere in the absurdity To find all my feelings Blocked memories surface to weep I sing all my worries and you sing back with silence I sing all my disappointments but you start [...]
