My Arson

Empathy, a federal felony 

Keeping curtains closed, a crime 

Burn the bridge

Lock the door

There is no other side 

Keep your speeches short

They don't care,

Rusty men and microphones 

Kept it solemn 

Kept it sudden

Pages in epics,

Such betrayals 

I wish upon it,

The greatest misfortune 

Your bonfire 

My arson

A Perfect Life

Staying safe.

Keeping pace.

He has a knack

For thinking straight.

Grey checkered ties.

Grey gloomy eyes.

Beyond horizon line

He dares not stare.

Rope is taut.

Barrel's loaded. But

He needs no fame. Time

He does not waste.

A Blue ink spot.

On his white dress shirt.

He grins at it.

He keeps it there.

He does not care.

Begin

Some winds had never

Caressed these hairs so tight.

Some fires had never

Burned this rage so high.

Some hands had never

Seen such stillness so close.

Some skies had never 

Lightened up so bright.

I say 

So long to melancholy,

I wave you goodbye.

This world is not done

And neither am I.

Jack

You think of sea.

You think of rain.

I do too. Forever Jack

Wits so great.

I too find gold.

But just too late. Forever Jack

Workable luck.

Loveable self.

Bearable pain.

For kings alone. Forever Jack

Take these tears.

I never use.

All these trades.

Learnt but you. Forever Jack

Your Things And Mine

The brick that fell that day,

A pavement broke, good morning again.

I carry a bag of faces like you;

Guess which one I'm wearing today.

Guess again.

People live, people die;

The world denies, my daily suicides.

I laughed today at your pathetic lies;

To tell you the truth, all comedians cry.

And the winter breeze passed me by,

They still neglect me,

The tower of lights, the swirling tides.

Strings snapped, violin broke,

A verse left, a symphony nigh.

And break my bones, crush my heart,

My hopes, tear my limbs apart;

Still I'll carry you till the very end.

Loyalty, it's not. Nor love, my friend.

Say hello to my nonchalance.

Take me away, to a newer sun;

My old one is getting cold.

And take away everything I own,

My beige grass, my greying clouds.

And strip away this world of hope.

Everything is lost, lost is hope?

A brick fell, a pavement broke.

Look to the right, it's night 

And everything is found

Under that rug we stole.

Towards that Fork

I dream that I 

Am walking through,

Sullen woods with autumn trees.

Yellow september light, yellow leaves,

yellow. Through Mellow trees.

Walking through rocky streets.

Blissful, calming memories?

I dream that I-

I do not dream.

So pray tell, snowy night.

I missed the train, I see one light.

Care to share with me?

So pray tell, December moon.

Where are those beautiful,

beautiful awaiting miseries?

Ones you promised me.

So pray tell, winter frost.

I see no crossroads. Apologies.

I see no ways through. Apologies.

Won't you take again that road with me?

We Are Stardust

Let's become, my love

Whatever we wanted to be.

From the gases of pure creativity;

We are clouds

Let's meet again somewhere inbetween,

Returning from the edges of infinity.

Being in the same cluster, someday;

We are galaxies

Take my hand, let's dance,

Until we burn everything in sight.

Masquerading for eternity, let's collide;

We are giants and dwarves 

Hold me tight, explode with me,

And spread our reach till ubiquity.

Let's become those wonders again

That we always were;

We are stardust
