Thirst. by Tiyasha Chaudhury (classic reads txt) 📖

1. You.

I somehow

convinced

my heart to

believe that

yes, you are 

gone.

And I'm safe

now,

but day before

yesterday on

that rainy night

I knew that

shadows don't

lie

~Tiyasha.

2. Lies

Did the eyes lie too?
Cause, all I saw
was the conflagration
burning bright.
And, all I see now is
the cold ashes,
and loss of light.
~Tiyasha.

3. Left.

 
The hands of the clock moves
tick tock
tick tock,
the dry leaves rustle,
again.
The flowers bloom,
the sun rises
the moon comes
and a day passes,
again.
What changed?
From two,
I became one
again.
~Tiyasha.

4. Pure.

I closed my eyes as your
lips touched mine,
the bittersweet taste
is magic in pure form.
Slowly, getting engrossed
in your galaxy of love.
I now know, it is pure.
~Tiyasha

5. Sacred.

Human body

is a temple in

itself,

and there lies

God we search

for in the dusty

roads,

in the buildings,

in the forests

but we cannot find

him.

The eyes blindfolded

with myths

now are eager to

to know the facts.

The human body

and the mind is

sacred,

but our actions

and our mythical

knowledge

make it impure.

~Tiyasha

6. Venom.

I sucked
 your venom out
so much that
there's no trace
of it inside your
body, but, instead
of me being dead
I became the
snake of your venom
and doer of your
actions and sinner of
your sins.
~Tiyasha

7. Insomniac.

 The white sheets

 still have your

 fragrance entrapped

and people ask me

 why don't I

 sleep at nights.

 ~Tiyasha.

  

8. Rape Victim.

I'm tied up
with those
thick leashes
and hammered
with those
pointed
nails and
wrapped up
in a thick
band-aid
of embarrassment
and shame.
~Tiyasha.

9. Untouched beauty.

While touching
me the
thorns sting
you.
And so, they call
me the
untouched
beauty, Rose.
~Tiyasha.

10. Begin again.

I want to
begin all of
it again.
But can
it be a little
more of you
and a lot
of me, this
time?
We've been
living with
too less, right?
And we do
deserve more.
So, let's begin
all of it
again and
hold onto
each other
tight.
~Tiyasha.

11. Cries.

While weaving
those haunting
words that envelope
my mind,
my soul whispers
and chants for
you to come back.
While writing for
you my fingers bleed,
my heart cries
but trust me
it is the most beautiful
thing to do.
~Tiyasha.

12. Smile and face it.

The mind overwhelming
with fears
And the heart in tears
but the smile on the
face will not drift away
till death.
~Tiyasha.

13. Half dead, Half breathing.

That day you left me
So miserable, so
vulnerable to death
that crows fed on me
while I was still alive.
~Tiyasha

14. Let me.

 Let me rest in the place
I find peace.
For, this heart can't bear
the chaos of this virtual
world.
.
Let me wander over the
place where I can whisper
chants forever.
For, the words in my hearts
are eager to come out.
.
Let
