[302] Open Up Your Mind

April 4, 2020by Rahul Gaur1 Comment

A carnage that smells of life An irony that makes you feel alive I see civilisations collapsing right in front of me The wars that reversed progress I see birds that die of asphyxiation A million years wiped right in front of me I try to live in the second that demands attention A plane [...]

[301] A Walk Down Memory Lane

April 4, 2020April 4, 2020by Rahul Gaur8 Comments

Fifteen steps from my bed and I used to reach the place of my nightmares My hand still battling with sleepy dust in my eyes Still not realising the path that lay in front of me even though it was a part of my daily routine The first realisation was cold dampness and my eyes [...]

[300] How To Control Anger

April 3, 2020by Rahul GaurLeave a Comment

I looked in my heart to understand what caused me pain What right do I hold to cause the same pain to break the gentleness of another I looked inside my heart to understand how we burn the earth how strange is it for us to call the people who live here as cold when [...]

[299] Birth & Death

March 31, 2020March 31, 2020by Rahul Gaur7 Comments

All i am is an inspiration inspired by the jotting down of the memory of another being who lived someone else’s ideas Ideas that came by wonder or as wrongly presumed by divine intervention I’m far removed from reality For reality is wonderment Reality is dismantling the narrative in my head that is shaping my [...]

[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

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 [...]

[295] Back To My Ways

March 17, 2020March 17, 2020by Rahul Gaur10 Comments

I go ahead by looking back Blurry visions and faded people Parking all my dreams in the solace of what makes them A suppressed life Vivid lies come back to block all the honesty i learned to build as i wait for the sweeping fog to go and take away the clutter for just once [...]

[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 [...]
