Some rhymes from the past :)
I was digging through my hard drive looking for a file when I stumbled on a word document titled "my poems". I didn't even remember when I wrote them so I checked up on file properties and it appears the document was created in 2006 - my freshman year! Somehow over the years, the rhymes inside me seem to have lost their way in the infinite corridors at MIT.
Untold
Beneath the fair veneer
Meshed in dirty shadows
Lies a truth untold
About you and me.
This blind sense of incompletion
Lingers beyond reason;
Like a hollow dream locked inside
Raging, struggling to break free.
Compromises with monotony
Bear fruit of an aimless life
Like a lost howling voice
And the lies untold.

A smile, a frown,
A frown, a smile
Trickle, tick
Loud raindrops.
Silent tears
Puddle, puddle
Loud muck
Silenced play.

Moments
Hovering within my presence
are your soft kisses
Lying over my conscience
are your soft whispers
In these moments of rhyme
a candle flame flickers
Gently, as I say your name.
Quietly, as I lay beneath the
covers.
Tugging at lost, blurred memories
Helpless, weak, and halved.
