Find Your Place

My eyes decided to see each other for the first time
To discuss which of them saw the ear first
While the other fingers wondered why the ring finger was the only one with a vein to the heart
And toenails wondered why fingernails grow nearly 4times faster than them
And then the brain uses 20% of the total oxygen produced by the body
I can't please everybody, Life said to herself
I believe everything is in proportion unless something just has to change
Do you know how much energy it takes for me to create new connections cause of a new memory you just had, Brain replied
But the skin retorted that the brain feels no pain like her
Life isn't about competing but finding your place and functioning
You will find your purpose and happiness there
So find it!!!!!!!!!!!

Love's Timing

Time might not heal but it reveals

It has no eyes but it sure sees
The reflection of who we truly are
Unmasking the secrets of those who are
Now I canvass with time with deep intents
I asked" Should I love her closely or from afar"
He said" The closer you get, the more you are blind, the farther you are the more you are blind"
Gazing up there, I realized when you truly love, the less of a reality you see while building the reality you see
Time differs in its time difference only by timely inference

Beyond the face

His heart increased its pace as he sighted her afar off
Muttering so many voiceless words without meaning to mere minds...On fleek
Her passing by confirmed his definition of beauty
A definition he defined through experience and fantasies
Stirring up a desire and boldness to come closer
The more he saw, the less of what he saw is what he saw
Finally he was disappointed because of the synonyms and antonyms he realized
To the definition of beauty he studied seeing her brain ,,,So asleep
He left broken because he could not find a solid foundation for a conversation
He could not create the connection he desired cause her soul was .... So weak
The more he reached out, the more attenuated her love signals were
What's the use of being on Fleek if your brain is asleep and your soul is so weak

Sincere Love

So much laughter, dancing in the rain
Not minding getting wet.....fun
Walking the pathway of the mall
Holding hands together, giggling and all
Sharing a popcorn while watching a movie...all rosy
"Such an amazing relationship"
But you scared to have a misunderstanding so no one leaves
And you scared to point out flaws to avoid quarrels
You take it all in, in the name of love
Hmmmm.....
But love corrects...
And love scolds too
So all you do is create fun moments but avoid truths like a plague
Telling each other sweet words without hard corrections
Why jump into a ship if you not going to get better?
Why keep investing and yielding same interest?
Addition is sweet but multiplication is sweeter

My Identity

Every single time I think I know what I want
Am back to that feeling of a baby so lost
Who is being told what to do just at that moment
And he is living his life based on a syllabus by his parents
Sure you'd pass the test by living up to their standard
Growing up according to the rules by your stern dad
Getting to the next stage through the next page feeling sad
What if i set my own rules, won't it be based on his foundation?
I just have to live that life I see in my dreams cos its my salvation
Hoping to my own life's syllabus is gonna be another translation
And then I am lost for words cause I can't find its meaning
A dictionary of words whose meanings are lost in in its synonym
That's what I have realized whenever I simply try to be like him
