Euphoric Emptiness (Part 2) by Manav Chordia
Stranger Things
During the day, I see you here
And at night in my dreams
I miss your sight, I miss your noise
I want you here! I need you here!
I know that an ‘us’ is nothing but a dream
But how can I not hear your voice!
I guess I know I’m damned to hell
But my angel. Are you,
Falling in love with me?
Is it a sin, or just not your fate?
I cry every night to keep you well
Is your love existent? Or rather true?
I cannot, I would not leave you be
Unless my love didn’t trump your hate
I truly do hope you love me,
I’ve wanted you and only you.
But if this isn’t meant to be,
I must color my skies a darker shade of blue.
Storm-a-brewing
Boy. Pinch me back to reality.
Punch me back to sanity.
Lunge onto the rocks and duck under the clouds,
Cause rain falls
But dreams shatter.
Innocence
My heart feels your pain,
Always here to hear your voice.
Jumping around, being insane,
Almighty bless your heart and your choice;
Remember I’d be here for you again.
Mermaids and Dream catchers.
Guys like to dream,
Of birds, bees and beams;
Of all things untrue, I’d still want you.
Graduate
Good grief! The end is here.
Retrieving my deepest fears.
Auditioning for a lead.
Destroying my heart’s plead.
Under the skies, I blink
Admiring this suit merely to think
Thirteen cards in a deck.
In each a path to check,
Offering flights to sea,
Never to change but just be.
Dearest, today we create history.
All to remember one thing
You are the future.
