Reminiscent Reveries

Poetry -

notes passed in secrecy.

barely tolerating reality

coming alive in fantasy.


Melancholy -

sudden epiphanies,

ink-stained tees.

raze the village, burn the trees.


In Love -

the stars above.

metal scars on my heart, the dying dove.

rock n roll bandaids glove.


Suicide - 

killed the kid inside.

head in the cloud, another passing tide.

voice of lead in the dark cried.


Non-conformity -

capitalism is neo-coloniality. fake courtesy.

the poor bleed and plead, on their knee.

wicked lords with wretched crowns flee.


Trapped - 

Family lore, an unending uproar,

tearing at the bonds of blood once pure.

a never-ending ever-raging furore.


Fuzzy -

smell of books and rain.

thunderstorms and demons slain.

great minds tied up with a chain.

-Varunika
