55 - Shiny Toy Guns

Somehow no amount of words seem enough. Yet the ones found. Remain so few.
Even for a fifty five haiku.

Will there ever be words that belong to this story?

Even as its ghosts greet her silently from every corner of this city. It lies still this story.
As though only imaginary.

Imaginary stories don't have anywhere to be heard. If only the feelings they brought were also imaginary.

Scorpio love

Surely it must be a sin to grieve for a man who still breathes just as well as her?

She's wearing colour tonight. And it's only for you.

Happy New Year.

Cloudy

Must the sun not ever shine again?

Sweet Misery

Yes it need not be complicated. Nor as entangled.
Thank You. I loved how You showed it to me.

And how You are trying to compile my resolution list.

Foolish Youth

Running through wheat fields
Pedalling under sloping trees
Arms spread out
Circling with wild glee.

Monsoon rains
The first so sweet
As swinging bodies
Looped arms meet

Countryside spotted cows
And terraced vineyards
This silence
Your calloused hands in my palms

How long have they danced
These eyes so young
As they traced countless stars
Under the bright yellow sun

Someday,
There shall be one
To make this fairytale true
The 'Forever' song sung.

I called you but there wasn't much to say. What would I say?

That I know loneliness is when I stand facing my window eyes desperately seeking the moon for comfort.

Swim against the tide for once. It is not as easy as sinking in. Surely another life is worth the fight? For how many await their whole lives and die without even a mere glance from Fate and Good Fortune.

Your chances have been laid on gold platters time and again. But this may very well be the last one out there. So swim this once before it is pulled out of sight.

Your reward awaits you on the shore.

Janmashtami present

I hope that you remain eternally happy with your Beloved.

I've never been good with goodbyes. I get that from you.
That and the auburn locks.

You'll always be missed. But I hope to remember you with less pain.

Happy Birthday

It isn't so much as whether or not these doors should remain open or be closed and sealed. It isn't so much that as it is if one doesn't look at these doors then where?
