The last fall

The nights were long I was trying to hold on But I was failing and falling And I was breaking apart There were screams and tears And the nightmares played their part I had tales to tell and pain to share My eyes bled and dulled But I couldn't bring myself to care Because I was all grown up And crying was for the weak So my sobs never left the closed doors And I was afraid Afraid someone would walk in and spot the wet pillows Afraid they would call me not man enough So I wiped the tears and closed my eyes And asked myself to not be a baby Asked myself to man up It hurt, oh so much But I kept going on because stopping was not a choice Because I was afraid of falling behind There were dreams yet to come true And expectations to fulfill I had to keep dragging Fight with all my will But I fell again I swear I swear I tried my best to get up But I think I fell too hard To never be one again I finally broke apart. 

Dreams

So lost and alone Forgotten and gone In a crowd large In a land unknown. Strangers around Love no more Running from demons My heart so sore. Monsters in alleys Nightmares alive Falling down My fears thrive. Breathing heavy Afraid of pain Fears extreme Driving me insane. No friend in sight No home to be No light around Nothing to see. Sweating heavy Feeling a jerk Opening my eyes I wake up. ~ankit~

Tid-bits

(1) Through the dark nights and the heart breaking sights, Amidst the deafening silence and the never ceasing violence, From a land lost to the sea and the time that will never be, I will rise, my love, like a storm, come to take you home! ~ankit~

Rebel

The flames within burning bright Mocking the world, she walked through night. A smile on her face, a twinkle in her eyes, Unafraid, and uncaring, unperturbed by lies. Broken manacles adorning her wrist A rebel, with emancipation she had a tryst. Leaving behind the blood that bound, The beat of her heart spoke of courage profound. No pretty bangles nor make up she had, And gorgeous yet, fascinating and glad. Alleys and corners scared her no more, Undeterred, intrepid, steeled from the core. Not a woman's world was she told, And yet she dared to defy, beautiful and bold.  ~ankit~

With love, from hell

We are the dark in the light Baby you and me Straight from hell We are demons set free. Burning through skies Setting the world ablaze Birds of fire Monsters with rage. Breaking hearts Smoking meth Burning souls Love, we are death. Living our dream Wild things untamed Raising storms In seas unnamed. Angels, darling With wings of gold See us fly In nights icy cold. Coming home Start ringing the bell I bring presents baby With love, from hell.  ~ankit~

A rainy day

Ah, it rains, rains, rains. I hold your hand and we walk. It is dark. The clouds hide the sun. And it's cold for the rain has begun. Now we reach the park. And we dance, dance, dance. To the music of the falling rain. To the rhythm of joy driving us insane. We close our eyes and look to the sky. Our closed eyes help us fly. And we go high, high, high. I feel your heart beat for me. I feel the love that you drown me in. Now I look at you. And I go for a kiss. And as our lips meet, we burn, burn, burn.  ~ankit~

Together

Holding your hand, Walking by the ice cream corner, I look back and I see all we have been through, You and me. Piggyback rides and summer nights, Noodles at three and pillow fights, Falling sick and then rise and shine, together, You and me. Spooky stories and late night chats, Crazy jokes and stupid cracks, Bitching about the world together, You and me. Playing pranks and bunking classes, Throwing frisbee, breaking glasses, Dancing like drunkards together, You and me. Fighting like crazy, junk food bliss, Sharing chocolates, first kiss, Falling in love together, You and me.  ~ankit~
