There’s a darkness That will not mend Swiveling, inside Faster and faster and faster And you can almost miss me sitting here The real me, I mean Through all this talk and laughter The spinning –that- just doesn’t stop This darkness that owns me And, that I own Is consistently around A shadowy companion Tethered to my being Always ...
I found our lives on a 5 minute 26 second video It took me back To the pain I’ve kept, neatly stacked, somewhere In my soul In there, you are still 25 I am still 24 Every fibre screaming of young, desperate, love Us against the world You’re coursing through every cell Even decades later How alive you seem ...
You smell like sandalwood, you say Is it? What? Sandalwood? Uh… No..,, Maybe it’s my perfume It has woody undertones I think, I say, shrugging my shoulders I can’t get it out of my head You say looking into my eyes You know, very different from what I’m used to Yeah?? Yeah!!! Is it something very Sri Lankan? Smelling ...
“Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead”- Adele ________________________________________________________________________________ Inspirational quotes Spring to life Post break-up Plastered on status updates They proliferate Like the nuclear arms race Stacking up On either side There are no- more- conversations Just these quotes that build up Higher and higher and higher O’ the moral high ground !!!!! Deterrent measures ...
Almost dawn Unsure of what I want I’m getting up to leave Picking up pieces of me That lay scattered On your bedroom floor Words from you Penetrated this wall I built Brick by brick I’m easily shattered By your smooth talk I take leave of my intelligence As you stoke the fires of my ego The need to ...
Vidya, I really didn’t want to see that photograph of yours You know the one I’m talking about It’s now etched in my mind And comes to me on and off Randomly, no rhyme, no reason, No time, no season, Just you, with your lips open And your silent scream, forever stamped Your legs spread wide, hinting at, the ...
[“How’d I get so faded”?] These dark words of yours Speaks to me from afar Sinking into the depths of my despair Soaring to the heights of your ecstasy Crowded, dreary, seconds inside my mind, Pulling me in Expansive, brilliant, seconds inside yours Pulling me out I’m looking for escape Inside your song Every note, every lyric, settling in ...
Self-destructive When it comes to any kind of love That’s me and you Sitting in silence Filtering a thousand little reasons Why this wouldn’t work the banter, which we’re usually so good at, abandoned with nothing left to say I get up, slowly, and dust off the back of my jeans you look up, shaken by the sudden movement ...
You used to turn it on And off At will Vacillating between Burning passion and Cold indifference Till all the steam ran out Things got too serious Some days when insanity hits I miss the fights The kissing and making up The fierce, desperate, bearing of the soul Overflowing But just mostly How alive all that madness made me ...
You said we should meet I hesitated Self-censured Like that last piece of chocolate I know I shouldn’t eat mocking me we both know how this will end bittersweet a bit more of the dark and bitter for me a bit more of the sickly sweet for you unfortunately l can’t burn this off on a treadmill or a ...
You need not go Into that darkness alone I’ll come there, with you Here’s my hand Take it There’s no other way You’ll feel less alone I’ll go into that darkness alone You needn’t come there with me Don’t hold out your hand I won’t take it There’s no other way With you here – I feel more alone ...
You need not go Into that darkness alone I’ll come there, with you Here’s my hand Take it There’s no other way You’ll feel less alone I’ll go into that darkness alone You needn’t come there with me Don’t hold out your hand I won’t take it There’s no other way With you here – I feel more alone ...
Love left me at 24 Didn’t come back Till many years later Or did it? Was that lust? I got confused Having been alone for so many years after The lines blurred Love had evolved And I hadn’t noticed I still believed in connecting from the heart So lust left As it must when confronted With an unyielding spirit ...

You’re joking With half a straight face Peering into my eyes Holding on to my hand And I’m shaking my head So that’s your joke??? Laaaaame dude, I say But I can’t stop smiling You’re pointing at my face Hah!!!!! Seeee that was funny Noooo!!!!! Yeahhhhh!!!! I can hardly hear you now, and my cheeks are hurting I’m hanging ...

Why do I need it to have some meaning? I ask myself everyday Can’t some of it just be without meaning? Without sense Without direction Just without anything Just be what it is Without a tag Like you and me We could just be Why does everything in the world Have to be labelled Fall into categories That most ...

I thought I knew me Till I saw you At midnight, wrapped around her waist Dangling, at the edges, All woolly and warm I shouldn’t have interrupted Should’ve stayed, politely away Talked after You know been more civilized Instead, I sauntered over Asked her what she was doing with you And did you know we were together Looked surprised ...
