Revived

The tip of my tongue has given up on the idea of quitting your name between panting and promises
 and my senses have deliberately corrupted me to believe that they are twined with yours..
My tears readily take the pain of blaming you and  just you when I am intoxicated
and my heart is still unsteady, still struck in believing yours would make it catch the pace.
People talk too highly about it and the relief of it
But, 
to grow out of this 
will never be as serene as
living in it
Struggling with it
fighting with it
but never surrendering to it.
I wouldn't say it's love that has kept me going,
But the adventure of loving you just once and holding onto it forever.
Kind of fell for you a little and used your cam.

I used to believe that there's nothing as jarring as the noise of a smothered weep or the silence that follows it

 Perhaps the silence scattered in our minds, stuffed in our stories, layering our reality,  sneakily growing on the pretext for peace is lost on us.  It remains forgotten until we're arrested by it. Sometimes, in the happiest, warmest, truest moments,  in the company of those we love dearly It transforms into an unspeakable grief. Now, this is why I stress on love: It acquaints us with the truths we thought we'd never get to know but have known all the while. That one fine evening when my silence arrested me, It was your tenderness that made me utter- "I should've said it long ago, but I didn't know what to say." The grief didn't remain unspeakable, after all. I held your hand.

Methods

 To love is to become the other  So when nothing remains in this world the quiet of this sacrifice floats in the air Like the silence of a lost one does Years later they're gone. So years after you've been lost  And so has everything in the world And nothing remains  The void will remember you for bending it By becoming its own In silence, in love.

Pious violence

Image
 Our animosity towards God is reflected in every distressing possession we have sacralized. every piece of land we split in two every door we latched to keep someone every unmindful attempt of being. Our misgivings and that cynical terror, each one, each time is a violent attempt  to ravage his idea. His effortless tyranny we say  is a way to speak to us,  As if he's begging us to say his grace, Rub our hands into rivers, till they melt Beat our backs, till they break Sing songs till our parched throats get drenched in blood. His barbaric ways- tests of time, we think are his favourite methods of communication. With our  coward beating hearts,  severe reluctance to take a chance, We refuse to even touch  that it might just all be made up. Our cracked understanding of concepts, Disgust for a shared bite, uninterrupted convenience and piercing silences, All dance upon the rubble of his home While we light up a candle, ring some bells and join our hands f...
