MIND IT




A loaded gun in your own hand may not kill you
but your mind loaded with the thoughts
of your lately wrecked relationship
can destroy the shit out you.

Even if it wasn’t a relationship.

Your own flesh tires you up.
Diligently questioning about
letting it revel in his
and for making a home in it.

Your own heartbeat stares you
outside of yourself, panting and
waiting for some clichéd answers
to calm it down.

Underneath your every breath,
You hear some soft lines
Of the poem he left 
In the corners of your mouth
while kissing the last time.

Your eyes forget to function
And take up different climates
From torrential downpour
To the dessert like dryness. 
 But they never forget to open up.


Every organ turns into
An explosive device
And that’s… that’s what it does to you.
 Every passing day you just
end up surviving the series of blasts.

meaningless name




SOMETHING 

SHAPED LIKE WORDS

 PERCHED ON MY LIPS,

 BURNING.
THEY HAD ASKED ME
THE MEANING OF MY NAME.
AND I COULDN’T GIVE THEM
ANY SPEECH SOUND
BUT A GASP OF DESIRE.
SIMPLY BECAUSE 

WITH EACH LITTLE THING

 THAT I DO,
I AM TRYING TO PERHAPS
GIVE IT A MEANING.

Things that matter in the end



Budhha said
“In the end only these things matter
How much you loved,
How gently you lived and how gracefully
You let go off things
That were not meant for you.”

I can’t measure the first two things,
I’m shy at saying I love yous,
It’s like a monumental task for me.
But I’m sure the last thing
Is going to mess up everything.
Because I know you’re not
Meant for me
And I have no idea
How I’m going to let you go off.

I’ll forget about the gentleness
And the gracefulness,
As living will be an awkward,
a tough practice.
It will hurt a lot more

And matter a lot less.
