a matter of words

sometimes it just so happens
you are thrust into responsibilities
uncontained
a life flashes by and echos of
misunderstandings brings words
unconstrained

momentary lapse and regret knocks
sinking heart pulses with self
disdain
escalation elevates erring enmity
encapsulating entire egos erstwhile
entrenched

maturity jumps ships exposing
baseless wounds of yore still
maintained
shiny times simply forgotten
a choice for misery
sustained

just a step in the right direction
or a step back consciously if not
abstained
a chance mayhaps at a journey
together without blades for tongues
retained

fear

i am fear
narcissistic and proud
for you forget all the joy
and happiness turns
like a mold hanging
over your head

you are afraid
stunned and paralysed
for you meet the darkness
lurking behind brave facade
like an old friend
you sent away

we are together
my villain and your hero
for it is written by the stars
and i’ll crush your hopes, dreams
like only i can
until you give up

wishful thinking

one day i’ll be up so high
first to see the sun up in sky
over valleys, indian ocean
will see the earth in motion

one day i’ll be in so deep
on the edge of earth, taking a leap
a school of fish alongside
showing me the way as my guide

one day i’ll walk on land
no prejudice, just hand in hand
no race, religion, discrimination
and another bucket list after the occasion
