Life moves in seasons; we bloom, we wilt, we blossom again. Go unafraid, go fearless, go graceful. Be. Nothing is final. I smile with more ease as I grow old, I love better, I am kinder. Also there is body ache at times, there are strange illnesses sprouting within, but there is grace settling in within me. I am so grateful.
poetry, painting and pain.
You have many thoughts that could be well perceived by few ( I count myself, idk i might be wrong most of the times) and those are truly magical. But don't you get scared living in your world of esoteric concepts an notions.
I seem to have missed this question earlier.
See, life is such that uncertainty is structurally inherent.
Do I sometimes have self doubts? Am I uncertain of things? - I certainly am. But life is a play. I am not very conversant with the deeper theories of quantum mechanics, but it is fascinating enough that an electron behaves both as a particle and wave, its velocity precarious and unquantifiable except in probabilities. Many ways, this is true about our lives too.
Perhaps the point of being alive is just being alive. We are cursed to make abstract theories about life, afterlife, before life, in the middle of the life life and so on. I am no exception. There are times when I am foolish enough to make theories and life invariably always quashes those beliefs. I have been humbled by life over and over again.
I am scared. Sometimes. Such is life.
But when I am in deep harmony with life, surrendering myself to its rhythm, joyfully ebbing on the undulating waves of highs and lows, I am deeply fulfilled. Grateful to be alive. To see and feel this miracle called world. It is so beautiful. So mysterious. And we are here for such short period of time. There is so much to marvel at. Let's devote ourselves to curiosity and gratitude. We will certainly grow old and die. What is there to lose? Just rejoice.

you touched me when i was the most unpure. you cleaned me when i was stained with their words. i've been drained like the waste and wandered between depth of ocean. water took away my thirst but it couldn't pacify the burn that was rising inside me. i drank all those dews, every morning, all midnights, just to live. they were poison, i was dying. and i couldn't figure out what was wrong with me until i was laid on my death bed. all of the people i have seen in my life till that day came to see me but no one ever, not even once, tried aware me of all those thorns that could have pricked my whole. i am still sinking and i will forever do until i reach to the end. i am thankful to you for washing away my bruises but i could never forget that you were the one to drown me. you let me sink till my lungs were filled with water and there was no place for air for me to breathe. i was gone and dead.

all my midnights are like this, loveless and soulless.
Sometimes I feel like my dreams are connected to something. I have no idea how and why. Everyday I see a new visuals. As if I am flipping the page without reading that chapter well. It is weird how I am attracted to things. All those people's perception about things doesn't bother me at all. Souls, spirits, ghosts, witches, demon, devils, angels, god, everything means same to me. Being a child, I loved to talk alone. I could always feel someone's presence around me. I used to talk addressing them soul and witch and that never made me fearful, not even once. I am not scared of these thoughts, these feelings which are considered strange by normal people. That sword I saw in my dream with something engraved on it, I couldn't forget it. I am always a new character in my dream but I've never been hurt there. I dreamt of water for few days. I was going to die in flood. Next time, I saw myself swimming like a mermaid in underwater town. Years ago I dreamt about aliean. An aliean who always looked for me and who promised to take me someday. It was so real that I didn't go outside of home for few days. And after few months I stopped seeing that dream and I am always feeling like I am not human. Two days ago, I touched fire and I could feel it. I could read what fire was trying to tell me. Even if it is subconscious and just a random thought, how could that feel so intense to me. Fire, Water and Soil is so connected to me. It feels like I am a tree whose roots are all wide spread everywhere in the universe. My beliefs are unacceptable. I feel like people take science as a weapon and war is coming soon. Science isn't helping us to evolve. Everyday thousands of life get deceased and it's not because of natural calamities, it is because of humans. This makes me question whether I am a human or not. I can read animals. I don't know if it is accurate or not however something is trying to communicate with me. It feels unreal. I feel unreal.
I grow so weary of being alive
My feet are aching, I just long for rest
& I count the reasons now to survive
They are all fleeting, I feel like a guest
The blue sky is bleeding, fading to gray
The flowers have all grown wilted and torn
There is no softness that begs me to stay
My smile becomes dim, so faded and worn
There's no advice in the heavens for me
& the stars are all just looking away
I'm a blackened branch in a burning tree
A faded novel with nothing to say
I have lost everything I loved the most
I am a person that's shaped like a ghost
that house next to the jungle belongs to a care-taker
people call it macabre night cause it ignites terror
there is a rumour escalated throughout the town
a woman was found dead in blood stained gown
no one was brave enough, they didn't dig her a grave
no one tried to let her soul have a peaceful death
first week and people came there just to see her
they raped the body and made sure it was just a cadaver
she was already dead, i guess her soul was agonizing
how shameless humans are, didn't hesitate to do the sin
second week, my body couldn't rest thinking of that sight
she was dead and people were acting as if it was all right.
one morning, an old man came infront of my door
he asked me water and said, "can she rest her core.?"
tears drifted from my eyes, i cried from within that day
i was brave and decided to walk on forbidden way
i paced forward with ocean and flood in my eyes
i went closer to her body, i kept my trepidation aside
i saw a shovel nearby, started to dig at the very corner.
carried her body by my hands and stood to mourn her.
