Amoeboid

I can be what you want me to be

And, I can be what I want me to be for you.

But I am neither!

Either I am bound up in my thoughts,

Or I am as naked as a corpse.

Come to me when I am asleep

Peep into my dreams, and watch me be

Watch me float with my wings

Round and round within my dreams.

Soul Travel

I see people;

People who could be me, when I am old

People who I could’ve been, when I was young

Children, who weren’t born from my womb

Mothers, who didn’t bear me in them.

I see houses;

The ones with bamboo curtains

And bougainvillea spreading across the walls,

I wonder about the stories that are weaving inside

And I wish, I knew them all.

Redemption

She was familiar with the obvious pain,
And so she blinded herself with music again.
All she wanted was to feel numb,
And let her heart beat as if there was no lump.

Was she wise enough to get detached?
To know things and not let her be touched
Some said that its being less of a human
Pity! she was remarkably evolved by then.

Bygone

Weren’t we travelling together, 

Though the destination was unknown?

Your words, music to my ears;

Your arrogance, my pride;

Your passion, the enchantment;

Your aloofness, my tears!

But don’t I trust the voice inside my head the most.. I do!

And my bags are always packed.

Neither am I a refugee,

Nor do I want to overstay your welcome.

We were only travelling together!!
