Shreya's Poetry

  Behind closed doors when the curtain closes, Too many voices screaming through A few rooms extend to that of a million losses All they are obsessed with what was never true; Stumbling back falling in the globe of fake smiles Every bit so damn perfect ,never fails to leave cue, Expectations running ahead a million miles Leaving to deal with a state of Black and Blue! Falling back again ,pretending what we never saw Still making alive through thick and thin Invisible scratches on the pale skin, they like to draw  Hiding away from the world, away in the ripped jean. Perfect ,ever been so damn perfect Now it's scary to be the odd one out; Just like the fortune cookies burned beyond baked Never gets old what the fuss is all 'bout! That distant world of constant criticism All they do is judge at the first sight Breaking up the bars of the good old prison Who ever returned unstained from such a fight?  An unhappy generation with  happy pictures Ashamed of a broken heart h...

  T onight's a nightmare swept beneath the rug O nly one to see was the cold mirror to shrug X enophobia falls weak to even face me I nking my way along I believe is the only key ' C ause waking up to pukes of night before isn't really my thing ! C onnecting little red dots in my memory O ver empathy isn't always the way to let go N o not the end of the world but to set free N ow just a lazy excuse to feel a bit low E nough said are the voices screaming C ursing in my head like any other day T oughening up the familiar fake smiling I nking my way again is what keeps it at bay O n the way to something more precious N ever in a million years would make another fuss.

Sneaking over Holmes’ shoulder I silently munch into words, And crawl onto the book holder Riding on the Chariot of Gods; Defeating Jules Verne I go round the world safe and sound In mere a week and reach the Baskerville’s hound. The ‘Famous Five’ and ‘Secret Seven’ make the best of my friend Dozing off against Shakespeare I meet my day’s end. But my Tuesdays are no usual as I spend my time with Morrie And have my bit of lunch with Anne in the War’s red glory, Then I board the Train to Pakistan And peep into a Brief History of Time as I learn The secrets of Narnia and its magic; The tales of Oliver Twist makes me pale and sick. The Diary of a Wimpy kid amuses me the most As I spend my leisure on Monte Cristo’s coast. I am a captive on a land Of print on paper in my hand, But do not be bothered, do not fear ‘coz I am a blissful captive here. Also Check out: Miss Ya

Lost in the city of star Found the lone glory of the Moon. Away you took your breath at noon, To play in that grave where you are. Often you have me for the walk, Looking in old grass with your feet; Come on the good clear summer street Lest you could hear an earnest knock! Never you had to break the tale, Nor could I choose to measure the time  Neither too close! no sad night-time Around me, lies an old black trail. Wild wanderer, from my past night, Never a star with snow and mist. A light from which I stood a fist Across the blizzard and past the fight. The sun was gold. The snow too gray, Pale as a cloud the morning met; Eyes like a full day in the net, Making all sweet part of this day. View us on Youtube:  Shreya's Poetry Also Check out: Miss Ya

They say we're on the same boat Floating slow but steady, A piece of nail in the heap of straw Doesn't matter what,they tell us to be ready; I say maybe not,just a fine line We're not on the same boat no not anymore; Just a bit different yet stuck in the same salt chuck The same blue with the mighty roar. Few peekaboo from the sturdy submarine Up or down swimming like a whale; Some wave smiling on the double deck Raining or not they have always have a tale. Some roam on the motorways Falling sometimes they seldom fail, Swimming in their grumpy face They love to feel the gale. A lot are on the wooden boats Rowing through the waters night or day, Scrambling till they reach the shore Smiling at the moonlight all along the dark bay. Can't you see the paper boats Wet and shaggy now shakily torn apart Bits and pieces yeah lying all around Look into their eyes,how time heals their heart And then there are those who fight until they die, The s...

Lost in the crowds of the busy street Misty eyes as they rung the final bell Turn back time where they used to meet, Forgotten lanes lead to the pain of hell. Remember those barren paths you left behind? How they flourish the way they never happened before, Imagine those moments that you never captured? How they put a smile even when you thought it was too hard! They took him instead of her Oh my dreaded tracks,you love to fade Flames so hot they took him afar Mourning peace bestowed upon the dead.   Busy streets,cars still go on, Miles apart they left me a bit torn.

The same old books we've read before The same old chapter flipping back and forth, The same old words we've heard before The same old endings on the verge of henceforth. Like that stone on the table unturned Dried tears on the pillowcase, so sordid Hidden regrets smirk at the lessons learned Glistening shadows so well hid! Calm and lifeless on a Saturday morning , A bit too late to figure it out Bygone days,they come back with a little ping That's all they are always talking 'bout. Black smiles smeared on the lofty fences, Glaring at the drizzle through my misty lenses.

How I loathe the way you break, speak and hurt, Capturing my mind all day and throughout the night, Your lawful lies make a scary art Oh my dreaded words,you toughen me to fight. Let me collate you to an unfaithful dagger? Just a bit more acidic and creepy. Sharp tongue aids the cold hearts of the attacker, But resilience brings back the old humanity. How you always crave to meet,Let me list the ways, I see you on the lips and flips of comments Thinking of your pretentious sound fills my days I like how you create those bents and vents. Now I must say we've got a whole lot of history Will never forget you my mean words whilst we're on this journey.

Take a break and look around The world keeps running or trying to settle down, A pinch of happiness seems hard to be found . I know its getting dark stars shoot by Strings of guitar brushing past your soul, Its has been now hours catching up with the lie. So close to feeling what ya never felt Can't say different as history repeats, So close to seeing that ya never dealt. Take a break, live in the moment now Little conversations stuck in coffee breaks, Bake a cake or just make a dough. All along walking through the woods A little yellow leaf peeking at me, All along singing past the trail in my hood. Running back home with sunshine chasing Shadows smiling on the autumn floor, Taking along the sweet memories so amazing. Sometimes just need to let it all go Eyes lit up at the sound of ding dong, Sometimes let's try not to feel so low. Freshen up all those crazy midnights A ray of hope even in dark alleyways, Party all night and twist in dim light...

The screen goes blank as lights go out Flipping anxiously over the last page The credits roll names they never shout Feels like your life story on that stage Minutes go by as the seats go up Ending with peace what feels like the last chapter They made it easy names they wait to scroll up Credits that are lost in the closed jar Names that are content it did so well Recognition never really rang a bell. Credits keep rolling like some weird patterns on screen So many names it seems unending All forgotten once it is seen Like fleeting memories of one who gave you the wing Applauding all in the name of the job They've all got the surname of unsung heroes No place in memories they fail to rob Lost with them their highs and their lows Credits roll up like some fake promises Bound to forget with days passing days.   Appreciation most call it a distant affair Unlike a few who recall the help Yet there are a few tagged with Rare The ones who made you yourself Names...

When I stand before the mirror It's like a glimpse of illusions I see Having goosebumps of horror Its hard to believe whether its me! 'Cause there are a hundred faces Staring blankly in the bright light I see a gleeful smile through braces; Jumping with delight Or an anguished face tying the laces, Getting prepared for the fight. In the cold and pale moonlight Its all a different story With depression at its height And the quickly fading glory Like dew drops on autumn's yellow, I see tears on her rosy cheeks Like a ghostly figure she mixes with the pillow How desperately its only happiness she seeks--- And she stumbles down the stairs With the pang of separation in heart, For whom the most she cares But alas away they all dart As the sun rays breakthrough The window panes show a new face Learning from past it grew With absolutely no sorrow as a trace. When daylight hugs her embrace Stars shine in her eyes Wind kisses her red cheeks With t...

Rising up and shining so pristine Disappearing each time it meets my eye The known visual seems unseen Almost blocked by that cursed tie All those familiar words Now lost in the lovely wood Fighting the unknown with the inky swords It no longer depends on the mood Hard to tell what it really means As colors flicker through The grayish cloudy scenes. Lost in the woods now it's too late A fragment of the distant past Maybe an unsolved mystery of fate Incomplete wishes yeah they last Flickering in glimpses all night long Sighs and smiles a pretty collab Feeling alive again in the words of song Now stuck with the collars in the lab Torn apart a painful understatement Hidden away below the basement. Writing down thoughts a waste of time All seems wasted as life gives lime Incomplete stories take a turn Those uncertain goodbyes all earn Incomplete hold ups mixed with guilt As midnight struck fixed with quilt Now that the Pandora's box is open Let...

Running on the wheels Feels like chasing the stars Sometimes the brake,sometimes the gear Flying solo in the ocean of cars Waves thrashing on the sandy rocks Let's jump off that cliff,oh so sweet Flamingos painting pink on the docks This vacation is so very lit ! Hiking up the snowy trail Yeah the air is a bit more fresh Pretty diamonds falling,they say its hail The husky newborns are a cute mess. The love of life attached to that cup The same old cappuccino tastes like magic Those familiar songs a jingle to the ears All but the feeling captured in a click! Meetings with strangers a happy exchange Starlit skies touching the soul Time flies as nights change Playing like strings with the grass beneath . Cascading waterfalls a sight to behold Rainbows painting the horizon Strolling on the frozen lake embracing the cold Snowflakes settling down on the dazzling white! Trails in forests weave a mystery tale Kayaking on the mirror a dream come true Foun...

It's been a while and a lot messed up Be it the mighty leopard or a cute pup Apologies that fall too short To compensate the abusive rot Apologies that last no longer than a few day Just to keep the outrage at bay Pins that stick out beneath the sandwich Bloody mouths and posts now left lessons to teach Kindness a word seems too alien dont ya think? Apologies to those who turn their tails pink Only to see our blissful smile Fruits now a deadly trap lying on the aisle Some say it's an unfortunate error Maybe just one in a millions terror Hanging like a pendulum from the dusty ceiling Troubling others never makes you the king Some believe it's a trophy Whether it's the injured ele or the dead bee It's all a shame be it the shiny horn Or just disturbing the not yet newborn Sighs and lies all on the same plate Apologies that are always too late! Be it own species or a different one Apologies to all who have felt the pain It's sad to awak...

Sliding up the blinds light fills in Yet a bit dull let the sunshine decide The storm has passed silence laughs Yeah a bit anxious as broken hearts collide No matter what thoughts never lie The world much darker than I thought it would be Raindrops streaming tears run dry The walls much harder than I expected them to be! Lightening screams a distant affair Yeah a bit too loud let thunder decide The night is over or as they say Yeah a little too bright as the shades reside Come on not another guilty survivor's guide No not again I can relate too much Shattered words plastered back Words to communicate but don't they touch? Gale howls brushing past the panes Yeah looks deadly let the waves decide Might even walk through hell With a glistening smile nowhere to hide Hold on wait ,wait a little longer All along all I hear are endless sighs Wait till I'm washed away by the river of desires All through midnight I stare at the smiling lies. Snow whitens...

Tiny shadows lurking in the hallway Following you like a creep they sway Melting into darkness,the silence So errie,you might even lose sense; Cracking up the wooden stairs Footsteps that you never heard The bravest of the bravest dares Lost when the real spook is shared. Feel someone knocking the door Isn't there a bell to ring? Open it and freeze to your floor To see you're the one to ping; Stumbling back,you break down in tears The bed you left is no more empty Yet not reached the height of fears When you spot you're sleeping,so pretty . Every night,you grab a midnight snack With your buddy,you warned to behave Taken aback as you turn your back Only to watch him drifting to his grave; Finding a shoulder to rest on In the now broken elevator Wait for a second,hold on Weren't you alone in here? You were dreaming,sound asleep Someone tried to choke you up Jolting awake from your night sleep Panting for stale breath,you sat up; Only to see a...

Close my eyes,thoughts run wild To places I've never seen Chasing the clouds,tunes go mild To countries I've never been All around the heavy doors Trapped yet smile through the rains Found my place on the sweaty floors Crushed yet laugh through the pains I've been flipping through the blank pages Chasing down the bookshelves I've been shuffling for long ages Counting past the twelves I've been sprinting through the roses Glimpsing down the bookmarks I've been dashing through the losses Swimming past the lusty sharks. All night long,I stare at us Feeling lost in the sea of stars Embracing the darkness,I gawk at the fuss You've set up too high the bars The only one I care 'bout And promise won't let you down Fear creeps in day in and day out Finding myself in the long lost town These stinky walls bring back time Shadows smiling from the past Juggling yet not falling apart yeah just like slime Hope that the memories forever ...

It's been pretty messed up lately So much so you've scarred me fully A stormy inception to the new year Weakening the barriers of all fear Daunting to show a tsunami of news To portray how many more lives to lose Burning alive in the glowing bushes Wait till the death toll rushes ! Sighs to the ones we've lost Hopes to meet the ones we miss most And it all started last December Sighs to the world we remember Sighs to all that were washed away Hopes to be better with every passing day April dressed like bloodbath in calendar Mayhem looks no less than a disaster! Step aside the stormy flood Conflicts to challenge the nationality of blood Step aside the broken branches Gas leaks to decorate the incoming avalanches Cheers to those who chose to fight Like heroes yet not for limelight Cheers to those who chose to risk An unsung effort to fix the broken disc! Plunging in the blankness of the dark empty roads Footsteps washed away along with heavy loads ...

You said it was over But it's not over yet,not over yet You promised that it was over You said you won't discriminate You promised you'll be different Thinking 'bout you lately Know your favorite is the red paint Tears that you chose not to see. Be it blonde,brunette,black or fade Or the catchy strings of red Be it wavy,plain,curled or straight It all makes the same braid Be it the brown,blue,green or hazel Or any other in the color palette Let's just focus on the story the eyes tell And burn all standards of beauty set; Let's hug the warmth of the heart And ditch those who've set bars Of height and weight that hurt The choice is not always his or hers. The grey cloud of greed Shaken up by the bright light of kindness The tiny granules of arrogance Washed up by the tides of curiosity Where nobody's scared out of the fence And can swim in the waves of diversity   Where every war of Colorado Is blown away by the breeze of p...

Walking down the memories lane Hues of orange and yellow melting my heart Yeah might sound a little insane It's a shame,I thought we're growing apart Thinking 'about your scoldful words Staring at those lovely days Smiling through the paradise of birds Remember how we spent time by the bays? Those cute morning messages No matter whether I replied or not Thinking 'about how you always find ways To make me smile even if we fought Laughing at your silly jokes Miss how your happiness knows no bound Still annoyed at your playful jokes Wish to make it eternal and profound! Love how everytime your face lifts up Everytime something good happens to me Breaks my heart when you cover up When the misfortunate one is none other than me; Wish it was legal to beat up people Who find it amusing to make fun of you Miss those bedtime stories you used to tell So funny,it could make you smile too. Seeing your blissful smile Even on the darkest of nights Helps ...

It's been three years But feels like a decade, Battling his worst fears His soul is now fade, Only him and his shaded dream Broken from inside,but says he's fine Patience filled to its brim Its hard now even to draw the line; He smiles at the crowd Through his tear stained cheeks All the voices screaming loud All he remembers are the erroneous ticks. Finding himself in all the wrong places Wanna see the golden lights Tying his rugged shoelaces His nightmares full of bloody fights, Wasn't that enough,wasn't that old? He wants it too bad,now it's too late Wasn't it mean,wasn't it cold? Is it all in his mind and not in his fate? Waiting,waiting for a whole new life Tamed steel waiting tonight Cut through the hopeless knife Still smiling even after the venomous bite. Opened his heart,poured it all Wanna have it,wanna touch it too Yet it feels nothing could manage to fall Lost in the storehouse of an old shoe; Out in the open,out in...

Miss your memories,miss your smell Miss the stories you used to tell, With your shine,with your rain How you washed away all the pain; Miss those lovely days When your sand used to kiss my feet, As I dated time by your bays Miss those turquoise waves that used to hit; Miss those starry nights Staring at your mesmerizing skies, Miss those lovely sights Now your breath is filled with sighs. Miss your cries on the leafy tops Your warm hugs that I used to feel, Miss your tears hidden as dew drops Your beauty that almost felt reel; Miss your charm in spring and fall Transformed to a rainbow paradise, Miss your voice when you used to call Through the crickets,it felt so nice. Miss your laugh when you used to sway And dance in the wintry nights, Miss your comfy lap I used to lay Watching the creative kites. Miss your embrace,miss your smiles Lost in the sphere of honks and breaks, Miss your beauty,lost in files Miss your ripples on your lakes. Miss ...

The lightning strikes a distant affair Chasing the clouds a lovely dare Snow is settling in the dazzling whites The world seems silent even in the fights; Flights are gone ,now gone tonight The birds are lonely ,kissing the light Written on the flattering flags Colors gawk at the change they lag, Frozen in time history is here The pinch of hope survives on fear. Portray her love,till she's broke Needs or wants they always poke Holding on,you're way too tight Crushing her down till she bites They drive all night,all day long Futile efforts to prove her wrong ; It's funny they stand up only to yell The story so hard,so hard to tell, They're so insecure, Hell,she feels too pierced to cure. She smiles upon the hills Spend her love,they cover her in bills She cries even while burning bright Frozen in their hearts,such a plight You're too late,now it's hard to believe She's just waiting for you to leave; In the rains ,in the pain...

Nice knowing you a heart throb away Intimidating quirks you have by the way May I know the regrets you have The insecurities it made to pave? Sighing at the dull gloomy night It's hard to tell when was the fight Staring high,high at the cloudy sky Glad we never bid goodbye It was hard,maybe not so tough It was smooth yet felt too rough Shadows linger in the dark hallway Lying every single moment of the day But we never saw it coming Lingering thoughts behind the humming Figuring it out,I warned to go slow Nevertheless it felt like a blow Change the way you look at it It still fails to change even by a tad bit We've come along a long way Got to tell so much yet prefer nothing to say Give up,give up you wont find the link All those years spent in a blink. You and I never felt the same And the blunt excuses,way too lame; Those long hours keeping awake Yeah was like bittersweet cake Holding on,the memories smile Hidden in those lost pages of the b...

Fumbling around to find my phone ring Gasping at it hearing a ping "I think I found my girl" So he does like another girl He must have never liked me Accept we are just friends and let it be "So tell me who it is" A lost chance I'll always miss "She's from school...I really like her I just dont know how to tell her" This has gone way too far "Dude just tell her" "I think it may not be the right time" It's okay my heart its gonna be fine "Just tell her you idiot"                            It reminds me of the pain of period My heart is shattered, tears dry Curl up in a corner I wanna die But why do I even care All bits of this friendship was a dare "I'm too nervous...lemme try on you?" Wow now have to deal with this A fake proposal a bliss What about the times we spent Those smiles and glances they meant? Maybe I'm overthinking "Okay...blurt out your thing " ...

Some say fate clings to the land The land that built you with its own hand Some say it tends to change As you run with time and change Some say its beyond our wish Seems like a target we always miss Some say fate can't be found Even if sent for by Baskervilles hound Some say it's what they hate The labyrinth of fate makes them late. Some say fate can be made And coloured or be truly fade Some say it can be woven like cloth And can fly away like a moth Some say it is the quest of life And is as sharp as that of a knife             Some say it is the battle to fight That can bring them close to the light Some say it defies their will The one that tightens up the bill. Some say fate is where we are led Hard to reach resting on bed Some say it is about duties That may someday affect the fees Some say it is about expectations Be it destiny or trend of fashion Some say it is all about the plans Not the game of Clash of clan...

A blank page shivering in the cold Out in the darkness hatred is sold Like a torn yellow leaf Finding home on the garbage heap A way lost on the womb's path Raindrops crying on the cheek of earth Dozens of formalities help to hide The address to the unknown guide Transforming like a chameleon Confusion clouding a peon; Waiting hours that no clock has reached Lessons no teacher could teach Anticipation boosts to survive Fearing that sharp edges of life Running quietly in the wild Complaints that were never filed An air of satisfaction too hard to reach All the blossoms have turned peach Gazing at the star studded night Searching for the battle to fight; Expectations forced to hide Teardrops dried up on the bedside Conversations stuck on the lips Happiness fading behind the tips Wishes that wandered off Lingering like an injured cough Broken mirror the mind looks up to Sighing at the unseen work to do Life smiles sarcastically sure Time often fail...

Cheers to that special man Who set standards so high Of whom I would always be a fan Who cried when he saw me cry An epitome of love and strength Who never failed to be the role model And taught to strive for infinite length Who would always be on time without fail The coolest of all times The one who survived my stupidity The partner of my naughty crimes A live encyclopedia of homeland city Who happens to be the special hero Who knew everything Before whom I would always be a zero All my kingdoms belong to this king The co-author of all my thought The co-founder of my personality For me,a billion battles he fought A hidden mind of diversity He is the one,the most unsung The unnoticed and unpraised of all Who developed a storytelling tongue Someone who could never fall Striving to be the most valuable asset Sometimes like a guide's hand Fighting troubles of any rate Or simply just having my back. A zillion thanks will surely fall short For th...
