It's 2018,
someone broke her heart
She wrote a lot
Similarly sounding poems
Each time cutting the heart and feelings
The wrist and the thighs
Doubling the pain
Just to be sure,
It was over.
But not here it starts,
I'm sure of it.
It's 2018,
August almost
She realises she is in love,
Again.
She is sorry for herself
But there isn't a bit she can do
To fix these feelings
She is scared but,
She writes poems and proses
In the name of love
But not here it starts,
I'm sure of it.
Its still 2018,
The buds of spring almost dying in summer heat.
The childhood love,
Vanishes
As he feels sorry for the friend
he mourns too,
And writes a last piece for him.
But not here it starts,
I'm sure of it.
It's 2017,
She edits captions and makes blog posts
he tries out making a page to put her work
For he found someplace where he belongs..
She becomes a shoulder for her friends
Sometimes through comforting words
he makes them cry
But not here it starts,
I'm sure of it.
It's 2016,
Someone burns in anguish
At leaving memories of school
Like the stars change direction
Home's meaning can change too with time,
They forget.
I cry over a show as i depart it
I write musings for the love i never saw or felt
And spit out few bitter words
For the new weird place,
Without knowing
I will meet someone,
I will adore again.
But not here it starts,
I'm sure of it.
It's 2014,
She feels like a fool
For trying to write her first proper poem
For the love of her life,
She assumes,
'So, it's really this hard to write poems,'
I wrote on his skin
With chapped lips and messy hair
But on paper, it seemed really tough.
Thank God, internet existed,
Finally everyone could be a poet.
But not here it starts,
I'm sure of it.
It's 2018,
I put the blade as close to my skin as i could
I try scribbling 'don't leave' with it,
Red i see..
While my broken heart bleeds too
Blue i know,
I take it all out in a section of my personal journal
As i beg for love to stay for the very first time.
But not here it starts,
I'm sure of it.
It's 2000's,
A kid
sitting under star, dreams about why's of life
She is same still
Just then without the melancholy of reality
She smiles at the windows,
Names them
Talks to people who don't exist
For her,
The tiles broke into lava
Her cousin,
Would turn into a rowdy
And for her,
World wasn't just as brilliant as the one in her head.
She scribbles in her diary of the friend she probably saw in someone but couldn't keep.
But not here it starts,
I'm sure of it.
It's 2003,
The doctor hands over the kid
Naming destiny as 'Doctor' too,
The child cries violently,
Making it all false
She laughs at the baby, and informs
'she is really a very active baby'
Not knowing 19 years from now,
The only part active would be her brain
She would be frozen in disdain for the world.
But not here it starts,
I'm sure of it.
It's the beginning of the world,
The first leaf
The vast ocean bed
The gasping fire
Yet everlasting peace
Begins
Forming the big 'O'
Into something full of life
It starts here
in wonder, for the writers will bring into it
this, I'm sure of.
