my wrists were stapled
closing the open hate
the flowing bitter
my ugly
veins were crisp
hardened and prone to turn to dust
if i bent too soon
too fast
flowing with disdain
the putrid blood of a past
haunting
the staples ran the length of forearms
the universe
my life

Idle Steps 3.24.24
“Rosy Zero"
Tongue in cheek work secrets
Whispered
Passed notes
Over hands
Over thoughts
How many layers of suit and tie
To hold you by
Pull you; good boy
What should not be said
Does not pass these walls
These halls
These locked doors
I know
These words mean nothing-everything
And yet
A rose will make me bleed
Hard to swallow
Spitting up answers and nonsense
Answers The world feels farther and crueler
For you in it
A thorn in my throat
Pull me closer–closer-closer
And whisper me nothing-everything
Offhanded, on-handed, un-hand
My heart
Weaker than petals
Unlike your open bloom and thorns
Good as I am; fragile
Glass, too, is fragile
See through me as plain as pane
Cut deep
All the same; pain

bottom
undercurrent overhead
the sense beneath
(the warmth I feel)
life like water
always changing
continual metamorphosis
(across my gummied mind)
your body feels soft
against mine
(secret rivers flow between us)
impediments wash away
we take the plunge
(like falling into a blue hole)
beams of light dancing fingers
your eyes phosphorescent now
lips pale
we drift in a silent world
(there is no bottom)

She is perfectly imperfect
with her own imperfections
and that made her most beautiful

And I finally understood why she wrote about the moon, it had its own darkness for someone to share with. #RoobaMaryam

Love conquers all is the sweetest lie I know. God, forgive me, I will not be conquered by anything, not even love.

my insecurities are here
and they love to tell me lies
sneaking in to all my thoughts
and shining through my eyes
my insecurities are insincere
when they tell me lies
they try to say i've lost my way
or that i've missed a sign
my insecurities are fear
and they live on telling lies
so if i feed them truth and proof,
surely then, they'll die?

(770) rattling cage
this bird keeps screaming
rattling its gilded cage
i’m selfish. i want
you to stay. to need me. to
be always by my side. but,
no bird does well trapped inside.
you want to hold and be held.
and i can’t do that
from half a world away,
this cage traps me too.

अरे जूठा दिलासा तो समंदर भी किनारे को देता है,
तुझमे क्या खास है।
दिलासा देना ही है तो उस टूटते तारे से सीख
जो टूटूटे टूटूटे भी आसम को रोशन कर जाता है।
Translation : Even the waves give a false hope of happiness to the shore what is so unique about you. If you really want to give hope to someone learn it from a falling star who even while falling lights up the complete sky.

A night talk
I will count the sheeps to sleep
for a beautiful dream
but auntie
won't the wolf come?
as soon as he hears
this night time lullaby

( it's her first poem and I am only a messenger of her words. So proud of you my beautiful little niece.)

yes
you can long for what's unknown
for those you've not crossed paths with
you can adore a concept
an inspiration
yes
you can
you can cherish her deeply
you can yearn
for her presence
you can admire her words
you can
miss words left unsaid
but should exist
you can yearn for a smile
that's yet to grace you
you can
i understand

Some give birth to little wolves
and raise animals by being absent
from disliking them or, not knowing how to
teach love, how to connect or teach them safety
let them figure out where their next meal is coming from
some give birth to little wolves and when they grow up
they only know how to be one thing
in a world full
of humans
- r.iver excerpt from ‘a different kind of monster’
