CELEBRITY
(c) 18Dec09
Twinkling star
You burn brightly
And, just like any other star
You fell.
In a blink of an eye,
You’ve become lackluster.
Gone among the dust.
Invisible and forgotten.

I’m only a foot and an inch,
So 5 ft.,
That’s all it’s gonna take
And I will drown.
Breathless.
Struggling.
Swimming,
Not moving.
Flailing these arms,
Helpless.
Someone,
Keep me afloat,
Please be my life vest,
Until I can waddle,
Into the pool side,
Safe.

I’m tired.
Of waiting.
If it comes,
Then let it be.
And sometimes;
Just sometimes,
Even so, I can’t help waiting some more,
Knowing it’ll leave me bleeding behind.
A masochistic habit,
Let my heart break,
I suffer in my self-imposed
Yet painful indulgence.
So I let myself float.
Aimless.
Because I’m tired.
Because I’m confused.
And it scares me.

Tears fall like drizzles,
Thoughts as grey as nimbus,
Cold air like winter,
That’s exactly how I feel.
Got to put on that mask,
Wear that smile,
Hug optimism,
And inwardly sigh.

Fleeting and Embedded

Pain—
Is like a drug,
Addicting.
Habit-forming.
All-consuming.
Yet, somehow, you never develop tolerance.
You’ll end up crying.
Happiness—
Is short –lived.
Ethereal.
Easily faded.
A conquest—as they say.
Happiness and Pain
Opposites.
Yet, they walk together,
Hands entwined.
Ah! Life.

Family Portrait

Dusty, broken
Picture frame
Of us five people.
With only blood and name,
That connects us thinly.
Empty words,
Fake concerns,
Selfish motives,
Blind us, five people.
Who were once under one roof.
Different brick structures,
Far off places.
Perhaps,
We will always be:
Strangers yet familiar.

Even So

Because you caught my hand,
Just when I decided to fly,
I realized it’s alright to fall,
To love is to hurt,
It’s part of the gamble.
But it balances out in the end.
Was it wrong to paint the sands
With our happy memories?
Perhaps…
Because the tide washed it off
Almost too easily.
And before I can blink,
It was over.
We were two hearts when we fell,
But why am I crashing down alone?

Drizzle
Past seven, I waited.
You never turned up, I cried.
A friend came, I was cheered up.
Someone still cares, it was not you.
Morning drew closer, you called.
You asked for forgiveness, I gave.
You talked, I laughed.
But when I speak, you do not hear a single word.
Ten o’clock, I went home
You stayed behind, I left you.
I wasted another tear. I was hurt.
Someone wiped it. It was not you.
It’s always not you. Why? I asked.
I waited and gave, yet I was disregarded.
Someone listened to every word I said and let me talk.
It was NEVER you.

Desperate
©dcec 20.10.2002
Bittersweet memories
Flashing anger
Fading anxiety
Where will I go?
Wipe my tears
Tell me soothing words,
Don’t walk away,
Don’t push me.
Cover me
Envelope me in your arms
Hide me from my fears
And terrors I always anticipate.
Shelter me
From raging storm
Give me warmth
I need you.
Stop me
From crying out loud
Make me smile
Make me forget.
Help me
I trust you
Pick me up
I’m falling so hard.
