Me

My photo
Boston, Massachussetts, United States
I'm not limited to the blank canvas I was born as. My life is an eclectic melange of vivid colour. I float in a sea of multifarious musings, ranging from worlds of lime green skies and copper stars to winged objects and fairy dust. I am the flirtatiousness of cherry chap-stick, the depths of the cerulean ocean and the violet skies of Monet. I am the brooding dark green of dense foliage, the crimson tint in a blushing girl’s cheeks; the purple of bruised limbs. The complexity of my thoughts keeps evolving, I grow and shrink alternately. I cannot be contained or restrained. The French language is my drug and acne is my worst enemy. I laugh a little too much and am a romantic in the extreme sense. I’m likely to steal the stars from the sky, but my aims remain grounded in reality. I can’t be pigeonholed into a single stereotype, because all labels apply to me at different points in time.

Imaginary

Are you for real?
Or are you
Just another product of my
Cable television mind
Fli-fli-flicking on and off
Out of sight but there you are
Are you??!
How am I supposed to love
Someone that's not even there?

The concept of you is beautiful
So beautiful
Like a paint can full of fluorescent stars
Thrown carelessly against
A wall as black as velvet night
Like a voice as warm as honey 
Like a darkness as light as
Snow is white
But where are you?

You exorcised my demons
You helped me dream
Of glittering skylines
Of burnt sienna sunrises
You painted the world green and blue
But demons and colours
and dreams
Are just figments of our imagination
Imaginary
Like you.

    I've written something SO similar to this, like three years back.
    Uncannily similar, i tell you.
    but nevertheless, I love the similes you used. Very nice.
    The imagery is awesome. :)

    It's a beautiful poem, but an idea cannot be imaginary :) So er, think of it as an idea rather than something tangible. An experience that you'll remember, dwell upon, and then just store in the recesses of your mind.
    Love, Your favourite irrational number.
