Want

Sometimes
I just look around
And try to search for
Someone to level the trembling ground.

I look for you
To make my dreams come true
But instead i see cold eyes
Indifferent to all the lies

I want you to know
So many things that i couldn’t show
All the words i couldn’t say
And i know it’s me- I’m always the one to blame.

I just wish I could hold you close,
Smell your scent through my long nose
And talk about our day
Or maybe everything I wished to say.

I’m not saying you don’t love me
Its just that my obsession
Is way more than yours maybe
But now I’m left with depression

All  i want from you
Is maybe a call or two
Or think about me throughout the day;
Text me without delay

I wish I could make you understand
How much you mean to me
Because you are the sky to my land
Its you i can never reach

Mind stealer

​These are the sluts 

You should run away from 

Who make you go nuts 

By their bodies’ shape, their form.   

 

They lose their hands,    

from her hair to her dauntless stance

A Sultry goddess  

Leaving us begging for a kiss 
How their eyes and tempting lips 

Make us go wild    

And just how their fingertips 

Caress my thighs 

                                                          

But what they cannot steal, 

is  our  minds intact 

They  abstain  to reveal 

What their clothes can’t. 

                                                        

They cannot bend our hearts  

towards their crevices             

Because this is the difference, 

between stealing the mind

 and  a lack of diffidence. 

Tan lines

Missing you 

is the scariest feeling

When there is nothing to do, 

all that I can is to 

Envision your hand in mine, 

And your laugh 

I want to stop

Or I’ll become bare, 

Or I’ll drop dead. 

ALONE

​Voices all over

But i dont hear a sound 

No friend, no lover

Everyone seems to have drowned. 

All my thoughts and feelings 

My mind, a permanent home 

And all the dread it brings 

To talk to another, to roam
Is it because of that bad grade

Do they think I’m stupid? 

Or is it because of this ugly braid 

Begging for a farewell to bid.
I don’t know why

No wants to talk to me

Because deep down i want to cry

But no one cares enough to see.

DREAM

The unicorns prancing

in the lush field, 

Where you’re a king 

And your thoughts, the queen

Wearing rainbow robes

Or the foundation of heaven and hell, 

The simplest reality

Or in darkness to dwell. 

Ideas of esoteric importance, 

Or falling from the clouds

Scenarios practised to perfection

But only in our imagination

Mistakes that are still corrigible,

Unlike the harsh world

with not a sign of rectification 

And of vengeance instead

But thinking is just 

A fraction of what makes a victor, 

To imagine it happening, 

Makes the journey sweeter. 

Love Yourself

​It’s funny how we hate so many things about ourselves and constantly crib about certain features or qualities that we possess whereas if someone else does the same, we immediately try to show them how beautiful their eyes are, or how dulcet their tone is or how nice their character is. We tell them that all this overpowers the things that they don’t like, and we aren’t even able to identify that tiny birthmark which they hate on their face, and the waves in their hair suit them as nothing ever would. We tell them that it doesn’t matter and they look just fine with it. That they are perfect with all these things as well. Too bad we are unable to explain all these things to… ourselves as well.

Presence

​Rolling on the beach, 

like two pebbles on the shore 

Happier than I ever was, 

Hands entwined forever. 

And oh, do you remember? 

The time we hid from the world, 

Laughing and smiling 

as we huddled together 

Wrapped in your arms in solitude. 

It’s crimson red, 

the cheek where you planted a kiss 

It’s becoming blue, 

And my eyes, a pinkish hue. 

Your sweet scent 

fills inside me, 

I can never forget it, 

It drives me crazy. 

The memories fade 

And get forged by insanity, 

As You turn into sadness, 

Your kisses into drugs of reality, 

And the cigarette smoke corrodes me away 

For have you really gone? 

Or is it the darkness to blame.

HYPNOTIC

​Your smile, it sets 

Sunflowers ablaze 

Making me forget 

About every difficult phase 
Reflecting back my image 

As I stare in a daze, 

They lock me in a cage 

The jailer, your face. 
Cannot move and 

Cannot see 

Don’t understand, 

If we’re meant to be 
No flaw in your appearance, 

No defect in your talk 

Your words give me an abundance 

Of clarity and of thought. 
My memory never stops raving 

About the wonderful sight I saw, 

When all i did was to bring 

It back after capturing you in awe 
No story is enough 

To enchant me more 

Than thinking about your laugh 

And what else we have in store. 
But I cant tell, 

I don’t want you to believe 

That I’m your living hell, 

Who is here to deceive 

Who am I?

​Who am I? 

I think to myself 

Every compliment is a lie, 

A thought i had buried 

in the deepest shelf
Am i like that butterfly? 

With no care in the world, 

Or am i way too shy 

To even utter a word? 
Am i like that stone? 

Easy to move and mould, 

Suffering in silence alone, 

Always in the cold     
Am i like the sky? 

Head high with pride, 

Arrogance, my ally 

Confidence in each stride. 
Or perhaps i am smart, 

Avoiding those decisions 

Taken by the heart.
Do I reflect my mind? 

Accustomed to the daily grind 

To work hard and win, 

Facing problems with a grin

 
I dont understand 

The various people on this land 

Criticizing one another 

On the way they walk, 

The way they stutter. 
No need for classification 

For everyone is a mixture, 

An original creation 

Each with a unique nature.
JASMINE DAR

Relentless Element

Quietly she mutters

Skipping on the retreating froth,

Like a butterfly flutters

after a moth.

 

Give her the sea,

And she will return with the storm

Spreading terror and beauty

since the day she was born.

How far she treaded,

No one knew

With little ornaments embedded.

Some old and some new.

 

With each breath, she is restored

Gently swaying past the damp shore.

Wuthering in agony

She destroys the boat

With seawater being her friend,

brings all life to an end.

 

She touches the face

of the girl on the beach

She fills her arms with an embrace,

It was her she had to reach.
