The Clouds


I asked the clouds where they were going
What was the goal they were chasing?


Why were they weeping over people so ungrateful?

And why were they pouring over cities so dreadful?


"Who made you do it?" I shouted

It echoed and came back as I doubted


They kept on moving without even looking

Some stayed back by my constant mocking


They whispered to me while dripping slowly

"We keep on walking as it's Holy!"


"It's how God has made us to function

Who are you, little human, to question?"


"Some lives are made for others and they are meant to be lived

Not everyone can be king and it is to be believed"


"Not everyone can have a purpose and that's for sure

This truth is bitter and has no cure!"


Why was I surprised to hear the simple fact?

Isn't this life we live our's to act?


Why do we seek answers when we can't bear?

Why do truths always seem unfair?


The passing clouds taught me a lesson

You may or may not be the one chosen


Yet life is to be lived and smiled at

And we waste so many years just to learn that!


So smile with that beauty and keep on moving

It is life and just like clouds, it will keep going!

"He was never yours"

Days run into nights and I lay here Clothed body with my naked soul Still watching your surprised stare Stuck in our memories, what a fool Writing poetry every other night Pouring my heart on blank sheets Searing words, sharp and bright Drawing a broken heart's beats My girls now tired of delusional stories Reading a new poetic mess each day But I can't stop writing our glories About charm and, your mannered way Running out of new words now Yet staining papers, spilling ink Ending teary eyes everyday, how? Asking myself if you ever think Feeling childish and futile emotions They warned me, "Don't you fall!" But I ignored all their red cautions Now I stay awake, waiting for a call "You deserve better," she reinforced Screaming I said, "But he is the one" Lover's delusions left her concerned How can I convey, I love him a tonne? I beg the moon and all the shiny stars Bring back the night he was but mine Skies reply, "Dear, he was never y...

Lovers' Game

  Summer nights, winds weird and quiet  Should've known our time just wasn't right Just couldn't see you leaving peacefully  Wish I could've let you go on more gracefully Scream yes or say you don't feel the same Don't want to play this cruel lovers' game You can walk away just because I'm a mess But forgive my impatience with your calmness Promise I'll play and follow your every rule I'll play the one who needs to act the fool Of course, I'll wait here for you forevermore  And I'll never dare to shut my heart's door Hearing your footsteps I'll again let you in This is a lovers' game, I'll always let you win Some rules might break as I mend broken fate It's okay if you can't love me, just never hate Written on 10/03/2024

All Too Well (My Version)

 I walked on the track with you The air was cold But somethin' 'bout it felt like own somehow And I, left my scarf there at Civil class And you've still got it on your table even now Oh, your sweet disposition And my wide-eyed gaze We're acting in the play, getting lost backstage Tamarind leaves falling down like pieces into place And I can picture it after all these days And I know it's long gone, and that magic's not here no more And I might be okay, but I'm not fine at all 'Cause there we are again on that little college street You almost fell face first 'cause you were looking over me Wind in my hair, I was there I remember it all too well Photo album in your phone Your cheeks were turning red You used to be a little kid with glasses in a soldier costume And you are telling stories 'bout your mother and team You told me 'bout your fam thinking your future was me And you were tossing me the career keys "Fuck the Patriarchy" keych...
