Acatalepsy

  In the odd hours of the day,

When I'm lost in thoughts I alone live.

I'd be happy if you find me,

Too happy if you'd come along.

But I ask you not to call me back,

Rather stay by my side for a while.

Know the reasons for which I'm here,

What has brought me here.

No, don't try asking me why ?

Sit with me in this lost place, 

Maybe you'll find some answers,

Why I come here too often,

Maybe you get to know me better,

Or maybe you'll start finding joy here.

Amor

 ചുറ്റും ഒരുപാടു പേരുണ്ട്, 

എന്നാലും ഒറ്റപ്പെട്ട് പോവുന്ന ചിലരില്ലേ..

എന്നിലും നിന്നിലുമില്ലേ അങ്ങനൊരാൾ ?? 

ചില തുരുത്തുകൾ പോലെ.. 

നോക്കുന്ന ദിക്കിലെല്ലാം വെള്ളമായിരിക്കും, 

അതിലിങ്ങനെ മുങ്ങി താണുകൊണ്ടിരിക്കുന്നവർ. 

ചിലർ പതിയെ ആഴങ്ങളിലേക്കിങ്ങനെ പോവും.. 

ഉയരാൻ താങ്ങായി മുറുകെ പിടിക്കാൻ ഒരു കൈ കിട്ടിയാ മതി,

അവരും പതിയെ തിരികെ വരും.. 

തോറ്റു കൊടുക്കല്ലേ.. 

സ്വപ്നങ്ങളെല്ലാം ചേർത്ത് പിടിച്ചു ധൈര്യായിട്ട് മുന്നോട്ടു പോ..

 നമുക്കും ജയിക്കണ്ടേ... 

കൂട്ടായിട്ടു ഞാനുമുണ്ടെന്നേ...

 പ്രതീക്ഷയുടെ ഈ ഒരു വാക്കു മതി, 

ഒന്ന് ചേർത്ത് പിടിച്ചാ മതി, 

പറയാനുള്ളതൊന്ന് കേട്ടാ മതി,

അവരും ജീവിക്കും, ബാക്കി എല്ലാവരെയും പോലെ..

A little beyond

 

I know time's slipped by,

A long way so far.

Trusting those empty glares,

I never found what was veiled beneath.

Hesitations of your untold lies,

Silence could have healed.

Hollowness in every word you spoke,

I missed your buoyant soul.

Countless days passed by,

And I can see myself here,

Brooding over those days

Dead and buried.

'Ere I leave !!

 Listen to me for now!

It's been years to our first meeting.

Since then, everything has changed.

From reordering all our priorities

To fighting for our space around each other,

We have grown older.

Those traumas of being lied,

Few regrets of complete trust,

Being pushed away every time I was close,

And how I still cling to you unchanged.

I have watched you grow

To heights you’ve always looked up to.

I have stood beside all your steps,

All that went wrong,

And the right ones that got you here.

Even with all chaos around,

We've made through it stronger every time.

A million memories saved together,

Laughed, cried and stood together for long,

I still pray,

Pray harder every day that things get better.

But listen!

If I ever leave, with no words uttered,

Without fighting for my space again,

It's time I travel alone.

Don’t tie yourself with tears,

Take in that we had good years together.

And If we ever meet soon,

Let’s stay happy among the stars above.

I'm Awake !!

Never been an insomniac,

but that night was odd.

Woke up from my bed,

Been awake for the past few hours,

Sat down at my table,

With a pen and paper right in front,

That elation to write,

The poet all set to deliver.

But what to write on?

Maybe a story untold ?

And as I started,

I saw the words rhyme,

The lines syllabled beautifully.

I wrote on love, but "in love" never popped.

In less than an hour, there was a poet.

One among the million who defined love

Love - to give and live selflessly.

KNOW ME

You look at me & I smile.

But there lies a hurricane inside me.

They’re calmed so hard that it never bursts out.

A story behind the smile,

You definitely need to dig deep into that.

I’m a girl who likes the smell of roses,

Fantasies about the rainbow,

Loves been drenched in the rain.

I can look into your eyes so deep

And know the pain hidden beneath them.

I can stay by your side until my very last breath.

I can walk miles with you until you feel things are normal.

Life never did all the pretty things to me.

Happiness is hard.

Though weak and fragile,

I have been into hard battles.

You can find me forgive all your mistakes,

But I take a note to never forget them.

I have been sick of the lies and fakeness around.

Gazing at the dark ceiling of my room at night,

I wonder how better things could have been,

A simple girl with too much complications though.

Behind my fake smile you find everything I am.

We part here !!



You stood there crying,

I could no more console.

You wanted me to hug you,

But then I lied helpless.

You hugged me though,

And I felt the same warmth then. 

But see how I lie,

I no more smile,

I don't cry, but I do feel the pain,

The pain of being taken away,

Before I could utter a word.

No questions asked, 

No permissions seeked,

And for the final time,

I alone had to travel the path.

Being unreal is beautiful

Fictions are beautiful.

Incredibly, the best.

Genres of fantasy and love,

Phases of unending drama and chaos,

Always a "happily-ever-after" ending though.

Being unreal is so much better.

The real is such a shit.

No real smiles,
 
So much of tears and frustrations,

Many words unsaid,

Feelings unexpressed,

Being unreal is so beautiful.
