Sneha Murali Poems

Colour me beautiful, colour me wild
Colour me loved, colour me mild
Colour me red yellow green blue
Colour me a tinge, colour me hue
...

pieces of shrapnel piercing my heart
sprouting and spewing blood
each step a reminder of people apart
the pain even more when you walked away
...

Ribbons on both sides,
I remember well.
How mom got me ready for school.
The smell of leather shoes, and
...

Usually when Alice falls down
That wretched rabbit hole
She props herself up at the bottom
Dusting the mud and grit off
...

why do i keep writing poems that're sad
why do i keep listening to songs that makes me cry
why do i miss you, oh why, oh why
why did you hurt me, i could almost die
...

all i wanted was a heart to care
all i needed was a soul to share
i thought i had all those things
i thought with you i could spread my wings
...

me and my family are stronger apart
the closer we stay, the more ache in our hearts
we come together, we end up having a fight
and when we're apart, we're like moths to a light
...

i'm standing over a flight of stairs
seeing the spiral resembling my life
i'm walking down, there's no faster way
my life slowly plumenting down
...

I dreamt of terrorists, many, not one
killing innocents with bombs and guns
the damage done was lots, not some
few more running from the barrel of the gun
...

the past did stab my eyes
to shed the tears of blood
everyday my thoughts did rise
away from the people i loved
...
