Let it go

I built the dams
and dug in the sands
when all that was in my hands
was to let it flow

I thought of bullet trains
and kept changing the lanes
when I didn't have to strain
and should have taken it slow

When I was shining like a star
I was thinking of only the scars
I let the moment to pass
when I could have enjoyed all the glow

Why am I still clinging to it
Why am I overthinking it
When all I need to do 
is to let it go

The Blinding Entrance Lights

For the appointment at the second floor
As we were walking in the corridor
A bit scared, a whole lot unsure
would this hurt further or provide a cure

As the Nuclear medicine department appeared in sight
we saw the blinding entrance light
It hurt my eyes it was way too bright
So we just stood there for a moment in fright

Like a loud pompous warning
to prep us both for what's coming
In the last few months we had done a lot of thinking
But nothing could have prepared us for this moment so chilling

Sitting amongst the tired and frail
Immersed in the weary silence of the pale
Free from all the sensations and feels
We waited for our turn for the holy grail

The scans began 
the stillness was no fun
The pill was given 
that no one wanted to touch even

I was too dangerous now so had to rush out from there 
For the isolation I had been fully prepared
On my way out, as I noticed the glare
I forgot everything and again got scared

My eyes still blink sometimes at night
that moment, the place, the numbness becomes alive
Quelling all my fears and urges to fight
Those entrance lights were just way too bright







Us

A few things you teach, a few I preach
We bicker over the words and frowns
Your mild chuckles, my loud giggles
we are always lost in this world of our own

I make noise, you behave nice
At dinner tables we sketch our future
I make silly rhymes, you struggle for lines
We play games in the midst of nature

I sing and dance, you appreciate the chance
I don't care so you do the finance
I make an advance you kill the romance
though you wouldn't agree with my stance

I am not an artist but you are my muse
You eat your frogs first, I put things on snooze
I want to be in control, you let it loose
you are a good listener which is something I abuse

You nudge me towards what I desire to do
I admire you for what you perspire to do
I hope I can do at least a little bit 
of what you always inspire me to do

You and I 
are like a star and the sky
you are trying to hold me steady
I am trying to be the sparkle of your eye
