Midnight Dreams

It is far better to grasp the universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring. -Carl Sagan


Times change, worlds change, but people, people never change.
What had started as an arduous project is now one of my passions. I love to write; this is where I try to paint pictures--with words. I'm a sophomore in high school, if you're wondering.

Need to contact me for some reason? My email is dsrandhawa3244@gmail.com.


Nights

The Sun crawls behind the horizon,
Erasing Light throughout the World.
Thinking, breathing.
Could it have been more different?
If only I had more time.
No point in this thinking now.
And I fall asleep.



A Shroud of Darkness
Pull the covers up,
Light the nightlight,
And fear the monsters under your bed.
They're waiting for the slightest mistake,
To grab your hand,
Suck you in,
Make you disappear, forever.
In the Darnkess, forever waiting.
Be careful, little one.


Fate

There are no rules here,
In this world of Fate.
Whatever happens, happens here.
And life goes on.
So please,
Don't worry, or cry.
Don't fear, or hesitate.
Whatever happens, happens here.
So stay here, with me.
In this world,
In this world of Fate.

Now.

Slow down,
Stop the clock,
Don't rush past this one, single, small, moment.
Now.
Don't run through
Flashes of fragments of memories,
Streaking through your mind.
Savor this single moment,
Don't think of anything else,
Live, live here.
Now.

I laughed at this, and I plan on spreading this around a bit, but HIGH FIVE!

I forgot one entry, whoops.

The Box in which we Are.

Convention.
Periodic.
The Box.
Taught to Be inside of it.
Told to Think outside of it.
And in the end, to Realize.
There is no Box.
There is no empty thing.
There is only one thing.
Innovation, locked awy in the box

Heartbeat
Fleeting, quick.
Gone as fast as it came.
Each beat, one moment.
Lost.
Please,
Don't lose this one heart beat.
Don't waste this one moment.
I don't want it to mean nothing.
It means everything.
And it feels like eternity,
Wrapped in seconds.
If only it'd last
Forever.
And we'd never separate,
Heartbeats,
Beating together.

Fear

Head pounding, he doesn't want to die.
He doesn't want to lose himself.
He doesn't want to lose.
It creeps slowly, searching for his unprotected heart.
It finds him, and
RUSHES, FLIES, ATTACKS!
He screams, his mind broken, his body untouched.
And as it assaults him, it growls, and moans:
"I am here for you, pale HUMAN, FEAR me, for I am the BRINGER of your doom. I am HERE to SUCK away all you hold dear. FEAR me!"
He turns, and closes his eyes in fear.
And he sees home.
Sees his family.
His life flashes.
And he turns, his eyes bright with strength,
And he has the strength to FIGHT.
To LIVE.
When it is only inches from his face,
He bursts out with all the strength he can muster,
knowing the slightest hesitation means death.
And he YELLS:
LEAVE me now, FEAR. LEAVE me and NEVER curse me again with your PRESENCE!
LEAVE me and NEVER return to me! NEVER!
And as his voice rises,
FEAR becomes weaker.
He continues bellowing at FEAR,
It shrinks back,
Until it dies away.
And the current problem aside, he lays, his last thoughts.
Although we can't rid this world of FEAR,
We CAN and we WILL live free of it.
Even after DEATH claims us himself.

Ask for an explanation if you cannot decide on what it means to you, or if you simply wish to see my point of view on this.
