Praful Rao Poems

Love is like the lavender;
but friendship is like the oak tree.

The oak is huge when the lavender blooms, But which will bloom most constantly?
...

I've seen the fairest flowers bloom, yet all their scents were just the same,
I've wandered lands of endless hues, but every breeze still felt so tame.
But in your presence and the wind began to sing,
whispering secrets to every wing.
...

The Moonchild

The night is for demons
It is what they say..........
...

Lets be in love dear, let's not know the price
I will chase you, I won't mind, but only twice or thrice.

Hold my hand I will show you the stars
...

The dark dream

I woke up from my sleep, saw her in my dream,
Saw her sit and weep, saw her shout and scream.
...

If you saw me first, would we have ended up the same?
Would you have come over to me and asked for my name?

Sometimes I wonder if you would've chosen me on your own.
...

I Have a confession

I HAVE A CONFESSION, BUT I'M SCARED TO TELL YOU.
IT'S MORE OF AN OBSESSION, BUT WHAT CAN I DO?
...

I was a free man before her gaze touched me, proud in my bitterness, arrogant in my loneliness. I wore my isolation like a crown.

I thought myself invincible.
