Let’s do something stupid tonight!

In a dark, lightning night of August,
one thing lead to another,
and I was there at the pitch black half-broken wooden door of the lone house.
The pavement was shaking in terror, the house was screaming from inside.
Lights were out and the doorknob felt cold against the skin.
It wasn't nice;
Rather it was horrifying- a dreamlike.

The road was empty behind...leading to the lights.
Some known faces were seen far, far ahead.
I could go back through this way...

Or I could stay...stay as long as I can!

My dilemma didn't last long.
Because suddenly it all became quiet and beautiful.
The house wasn't crying anymore, it was calling my name.
The stormy wind was blowing through my skin as a smooth breeze of spring.
From some far away distance there was a warning call.
But it didn't matter to me at all...
It was like being in love,
And truth wasn't different from illusion anymore.

Before storm started blowing harder again,
I spoke to the night at last,
‘It seems tomorrows gonna be a good day to repent,
So let's do something stupid tonight!’


This is a first draft, just now wrote. Please feel free to suggest any changes.

Imperfection

Trapped in perfection-

Have you ever felt it?
Like a wind won't change direction,
Letters wouldn't jumble in a word,
Like something still, something firm;
something so right that it feels wrong.

Give me a catastrophe;
give me some major failure;
give me some out-of-rule nuisance-
Ah! It feels better now...

My perfect world!-it must be upside down.

So Unread!

Read me again,
through your scrutinizing eyes.
I haven't been read for a while,
all covered in dust of ignorance!
Faded away and torn in between-
still intact with pride,
still content with the sense of being.
Hold me again in your arms,
till all those threads get loosened-
And so does the time.
Make me feel priceless again!
