it haunts so gently


The stairs creak, the hallways cry
The life once spent on them. 
A full circle that
Ends with another person and
You will mistake it for life. 

The explosion of sounds as you sit quiet
The movie these walls have seen. 
A curtain that
Never falls and 
You will mistake it for quiet. 

Maybe a picture hiding by the books, on
The evening sunlit bookshelf. 
A firm feeling that 
Holds you every evening and 
You will mistake it for care. 

Half sewn sweaters that hide 
The half life that still dwells here.
A cozy corner that 
Will make you feel warm and
You will mistake it for summer. 

"I can live here", a voice said. 
All my life? Maybe yes
A house so haunting that 
It haunts so gently and 
You will mistake it for love.

the ac is dripping my love

the ac is dripping on your seat love. the water so cold and dry. the droplets, they fall and the seat absorbs and forms miscellaneous images of you . the ac is dripping my love, you would've found it funny. it makes me smile and then the droplets fall and the seat absorbs, it absorbs any remaining cheer this journey has to offer, any remaining tears the AC has. your hair, they would've been wet by now and you would've hated it. it's alright love, it's just water. it drips down and vanishes. Now it is taking you with it. water led to life once upon a time, now it is leading to my lifelessness, a world without you my love.

to whom I love

Image
to whom I love, my beloved,  I shall rest my head on her shoulder and find symphonies in her breath. to whom I love, my beloved,  I shall glorify the life in her eyes only if I wasn't blind to colours that exist. to whom I love, my beloved,  I shall softly touch her hands when the world sings anthems of the eventual love we fall in. to whom I love, my beloved,  I shall look at her like a bird looks at a sunset and feels comforted enough to go home.  to whom I love, my beloved,  I shall sit close to her and whisper my giggles as if I've never been in glee. to whom I love, my beloved,  I shall talk to her and make conversations about how to love and love her the same way. to whom I love, my beloved,  I shall sing songs on trails I've never been on and listen to the sound of her soul. to whom I love, my beloved,  I shall not reply when she asks about the one I love because she answers the quest...
