Death Of The Coffee Machine

There was no way I could realize
I was taken by surprise
There was no way I could've seen
The death of the coffee machine

It just sat there silently
Staring back at me
No water dripping, no powder moving
Through its extremities

I shed a tear
Sighed a sigh
So saddened
Nearly cried

Murderous without my morning dose of caffeine
I mourned the death of coffee machine
I wondered if this could be a dream
And if I'd wake up with a scream
But it was real, as real as the saddest scene
Of an empty, non-working coffee machine
Irritated, De-caffienated
I grumbled and heavily hated
The coffee would also be missing me
So should I drink a cup of tea?  

So, she said

Kiss me, she said
I followed where she led, me
Even though I could not see
I trusted her
But her words were sweetened blades
Cold like fires of hades
I loved them still
Just like I loved her
How I loved her
I swallowed her lies
The blades were her eyes
I bled
She led
It was fine for a while
Till we reached the Nile
She climbed a crocodile on the shore
Told me to follow
I just sat there by the bank of the river
Cuz I didn't know where to go.

Inspired

Yesterday, I was so inspired
Come today, I am so tired
Days have passed
I've still done nothing
Is that why
My muse has ceased to sing?
It's futile to make sense of this
But I know I will still try
When I find the answer
I'll curl up in a corner and die
My corpse will become a part of the ground
Mushrooms will grow all around
In the darkness and the shit
I guess, this is it.

Is it?

Hopeless

It's been too long

That we've mistaken

Motion for progress

Now we're stuck in this mess

There is no way out of it

We're too deep in this shit

Stuck on vibration mode

No end to this road

The only way to go is down

With a smile or a frown

Keep digging deeper still

Dig to the bottom of this hill

Leave behind all shame and pride

And maybe fall

Through the other side.

Hope Less

The Inbox Zero

I've chased productivity

Tried to follow GTD

I tried to follow what I know

And made my Gmail inbox count zero

There are no unread emails anymore

I've labeled them, they're all stored

Under "Ideas" and "Follow Up"

I hope I won't mess up

The idea is to tackle things

As soon as they come up

Read the email when phone sings

And kick procrastination's ass

Wish me luck and wish me speed

Wish me all the things I need

Trying new things can be fun

When you move from place between zero and one

-------------

I don't know, this one just formed itself. 

You can google GTD. I don't follow it all, just try some things, dip my toes in its waters n all.

The Drug Called Speed

I love the acceleration 

The roaring wind in my ears

Brushing wings with danger

My spine electrified with fear

With all senses heightened

There is only road and the machine

The world just vanishes, so do I

Beyond my headlight's beam

Nothing can hurt me now

Invincible, as long as I am moving

There is strength between my legs

That's what this speed is proving

The song of the engine is everything

I won't give it up for the world

As long as this machine runs, i'd ride

And escape from all the hurt

----

Some days, riding my bike is the only good thing about the day. This one is dedicated to my bike!

Indifference

I used to be so angry

I used to be so fierce

I used to curse and swear

I used to live in fear

I still live in fear

With a calm sense of dejection

Indifference has seeped in my veins

Like cold ice water

There are few things that faze me now

I've grown over most of the pain somehow

The scabs are hard like steel

The don't let me feel

Anything

The chaos is just an undercurrent

While I float an inch above the water

I sleep slightly unsure

If I've gotten dumber or become smarter
