Shape shift

 



Shape shift, it asks me of what all has asked me of

Old tales of repetitive nature

They all want to be God

What about me?

Have a loop stuck in my head

I am neither human, neither God

I am the worst enemy of me, of them all

I hush and see

For a while, I am me

Voice that took a while

You want it gone, for good this time.

Stay up?

 


You’ve a feeling you wrap me with

I yap and yap, you baby light me still

You’re a place of comfort,

You baby are my favorite chuckles

I am home when am with you

I am strong when am with you

The days away are missing something 

I am good with me but with you its special something 

I have thoughts and nights in my hand

Want to stay up through them all?

Red wine and thousand kisses

Baby its your call

Beautiful ruins

 


Let me sit in my ruins

The reflection that might look unmanaged

I am it though, I am still a breathing story of love 

A tale of being for others

Others may not be ‘others’ in my story

They’re mine, for them I have given without much of a second thought

My tangled hair have crumbled stories of unshed tears

My untidy clothes share the secrets of preparations in the name of love

For the months I was cornered,

For the walls my heart learnt to grow

For the life I lived,

For the joy I spread,

For the times I was the curtain to their secrets

For the times I was the spark of joy, just needed

I am the reason the good exists

I am the proof of love.

Old times


 

‘The old times were better’

You ask me If I agree

Taking me back to times?

I’d say that with the very assured smile

Oh! How much I’d love an old romance

But how far back can we travel in time?

The people that surround us

And the the air that ground us; all alien

The world has spun way too many times

The people long dead, only to know how much has time flied

We have a reality, to us there’s a society 

The garden you see, I see

Yet we just gotta be

I look you in the eye

I see that’s us dancing like candle light

I laugh at things

You remind me of places I’ve been

The curtains down, hide more than they dare to show

I feel I have a say and that’s not just me, its you too who make it that way

We could be two kids finding our ways

We’re friends? Maybe too soon to say.

Backstabber


He comes around with a smile

Cloak of being all fine

We pretend I wasn’t stabbed

By his very own hands

He gloats and shine

Right infront of my eyes

I read him like a book

Even the pages he hasn’t looked

What a shame!

I wonder why you never had friends

Betrayal of the century

The theme, with you blends
