Should I minus my age by one year
it feels like I skipped last year altogether.
24
Druzzayne Rika Jul 2020
24
One more year ends,
Counting few others.

This is the time
of the blown out candles,
Unaired balloon,
No whipped cream,
And non received postcards.

The closed restaurants,
And unreachable phone lines,
and boredom filled eyes.

It is the time of truth
Looking into my lines,
I have seen many years now,
Never seen times like this.

A very happy birthday to me.

I'll say much about everything
except what I really want to say.
Can you dare to be anymore absurd
i wish to cry, but I had to laugh
what forced you to be so rough and tough
what made you be so huffed up?

I look at my smile, it is twisted
Frowned upon by onlookers, unfitted
Gruelsome fate, cruel some off late
Paraded, lamenting about the fate.
Druzzayne Rika Oct 2017
better than never
my every day ever

the smile I wear
one of despair
with the morning sun
going out to feel the burn
the usual runs

the day brings
many stings
head low
knee above
hands over head
and a fall on the bed
Druzzayne Rika Aug 2017
Close enough to breathe your air
I'm reaching another star
in the sphere, all above care
so far, so very far
A goodbye.
Druzzayne Rika Apr 2018
With or Without them,
I am alone.
Druzzayne Rika Apr 2021
Flutter of the heart
often
Takes me to a trip of
emotional gutter
Druzzayne Rika Jun 2020
I remember him every day
Not just some sunday.
Druzzayne Rika Nov 2017
I hate everything I previously loved
because I can not have them anymore
It doesn't make me selfish just upset
they don't make a cherished memory
they've become another bitter reminder
Druzzayne Rika Feb 2021
We miss out the dimensions
the way we see the world
It is all present but
I am just missing the perception
It is all lost in time and space
how different would it be
You see me with your lens
how much do you, apart from the face

It is all given,
Various notes are taken
I am just in my zone
with thoughts I have grown
I am biased
my limits of knowledge
how much could I gather
ignorance to be blamed

Everyone is online
seeking information
is it all present
what is the real design
Do we just exist
a body and no purpose
are we as important
Like everyone insists

And as life ceases
and cycle proceeds
The time passes on its pace
It is all forgotten
what intervention
when would it come
the truth is present
but still remains unseen.
Druzzayne Rika May 2023
He keeps looking for reasons
He is searching for purpose
He found me in the middle
And he keeps following me
He strays into my path

I don't know why he does it
I don't know what he wants
But I can't help but feel sorry for him
He seems so lost and alone

I try to ignore him
I try to push him away
But he always finds a way to come back
He's like a bad penny

I don't know what to do with him
I don't know how to help him
But I can't help but feel like I owe him something
Like I'm the only one who can understand him

So I keep letting him in
I keep giving him a chance
I keep hoping that one day he'll find what he's looking for
But I know that day may never come

He's a lost soul
And I'm just a passing stranger
But for now, I'll be his friend
And I'll hope for the best

On a bench , in a park
when the sky was dark
a lady next to me was speaking
things I was not listening
for I was busy watching
an owl who was flying
away disappearing
in the nights sky .
Druzzayne Rika Dec 2023
I am always erased from the photos
I am the one always clicking them
I am always present yet absent
Nobody sees behind the camera lens
Portrait is always without me
Like I was never part of this.
Druzzayne Rika Mar 2019
A picture of serenity
a reflection of divinity
a clear sense
beneath blue sky
as the birds dive
take a flight high
a space in matter
a few words in a letter
a nervous energy
fizzles out
gather and revolve
a freedom so poised
all fall in right places
the nature blooms
to the elegance
inspiring a change
that spirals to a pleasant vision
Druzzayne Rika Aug 2017
Everything holds a power,
to give you
pain or pleasure
Druzzayne Rika May 2020
The world is on fire,
Where is the water?
Druzzayne Rika May 2020
Every day I wake to sad news
Some days I just wish I do not!
Druzzayne Rika Apr 2017
A tree older than my great grandparents
would stand outside majestically
with impressive length ,height and strength
spreading across densely above
A home to many birdies
Which love to swing and sing
their cheerful songs to wake me
Me and my friend have various memories,
playing around ,over , beneath this tree ,
This tree served many years , many people
each day , without a leave
and will serve even more after me
Druzzayne Rika Apr 2017
-
All the eyes
Turn over here
There is something
Entertaining and Interesting that
Needs you to pay notice
To it  , so
Invest some energy here
On something that will
Not dissapoint.
Thank you every one to pay attention over here

How do i leave this world,
Yet live in it?
Druzzayne Rika Apr 2020
there is light at the end
But I am blinded before
I see darkness around
Shadows dragging me down

When will this end
How long to wait
Patience is dying breed
Time stops as I bleed
The floor is pristine white

The numbers are multiplying
The news is devastating
I am at my home
Trying to catch my breath

Neighbours are distant
Four feet away is miles apart
My phone rings on
This life is breath-taking
I am zoned out

The doors are locked
The empty streets and fridge
There is no more than eyes meet
The same music on repeat.

It is spreading like wildfire
Precious lives are in danger
Difficult times ahead
No one is prepared
Hoping to give a tough fight.
Druzzayne Rika Aug 2020
I'm in battle
trying to win over my heart and mind,
I'm in battle
trying to get control of my actions and thoughts,
I'm in battle
trying to restrict temptations and attractions,
This battle,
might last till my last breath
for its ongoing
for years over years
to  achieve  peace
and this battle
Won't end
till
everything in me will be satisfied
and nothing will ever hold power over me,
I'd be finally free and out of here.
Druzzayne Rika Feb 2018
This skin is my cage
To be free
I have to leave this body.
Druzzayne Rika Mar 2023
I started when I was seventeen
Now I am just timeless.
Druzzayne Rika Apr 2018
flames and ice
the river flows
still picture
highlighted features
all the arrangement
all on its places
but in the end
rich stains
is all that remains
ruining the perfection
Druzzayne Rika May 2017
Birds come to aid of poets
who are stuck mid-air
somewhere
They'll chirp and sing
their best song
that'll guide us long
and will take off
as soon as we drop the pen
to their own nest
Druzzayne Rika Jun 2023
There is a overwhelming need of sweetener into my life,
I keep drowning inside biterness of all the shoved feelings
I've pushed down.
Druzzayne Rika May 2018
sweet words,
they all disrupt
what facade,
just for show
kind reminders,
not kind at all
it is bitter,
so am I.

sweetened the truth
it is just half lies
and hidden facts.

not trusting
even the ones
who have perfect alibi
never doubting their bad intentions
whatever that could be
it is the smiles
the one most doubted feature
innocent evilness comes through.

Fall now
in the traps
or later
the bruises will
make their presence known
give me the worse pain
when on ground.
Druzzayne Rika Feb 2018
Blank expression expresses enough thoughts
the unlived unemoted invasive grows
undefined remaining unused words
undelighted lazy curves
untriggered to any stimuli
selected to roam mindscapes
honest to the truth.
Druzzayne Rika Oct 2023
Another attack, more bloodshed
humans are in peril
It's hard to see
terror spreading
Why in this century
this should continue
We have read history too many to know
What can happen
And what will be lost
And no one is happy with the ending
We are losing humanity
It is strongly upsetting
what should spread peace, continues to be the reason of divide
Why do people resort to violence
Bloodstain on their fingers.
Druzzayne Rika Dec 2019
I am seeing the colours
Mixing and blending
Without outline
All lines blurred
I can't see you
Red, orange and blue.
Druzzayne Rika Apr 2021
It has been a year and more
I have been at home alone.
Druzzayne Rika Sep 2020
After the end of cold evening
I pull through the sleeves of my sweater
Keep my hand wrapped around my coffee
Get ready to dive into a new adventure
The book resting on the table
The one who'd keep me up till early morning.
Druzzayne Rika Mar 2018
Going through the phone
in everyone's home
checking what they're doing
because I have nothing to do.
Druzzayne Rika Apr 2017
I try and recycle my broken thoughts
To construct a poetry
though most of them stay in drafts
some of them
get to shine
Druzzayne Rika Jan 2021
I have burden to carry,
This burden to keep
To hide it till my last
My burden of my past.

A story you won't read
An unwritten plead
This burden cut my wings
I have stopped flying

I'd rather you reach the skies
Be not caught up in the lies
Touch the twinkling stars
Not carry the matching scar.

Sometimes the truth never heals
the burn never soothes
No one can appeal
No one knows the truth.

My end will be the end
the time, unburdened
my unmeasured breathe
intake of relief, no air.
Druzzayne Rika Feb 2018
We can travel far away
in our own world
leave all the baggages away
just you and me


Leave the past behind
we'll move forward
nothing to look behind
you'll be the only shining


From the heights and down
through the dusk and dawn
while we'll be laying down
we'll feel right at home


Feel the delight, the heart
all that to divide
mending the broken heart
without the missing parts


Those memories with them
the beautifully ugly ones
time will forget them
but heart remains adamant


Despite me and you knew
but we'll pretend
all the same old and new
celebrate our solitude together.
Druzzayne Rika Oct 2023
A celestial glow, the cosmos ignite,
A soul departs, bathed in silver's light.
Free from the shackles of mortal clay,
It ascends to realms beyond our earthly day.

A spark of starlight, a cosmic dance,
In the tapestry of time, its essence enhanced.
With the universe's secrets entwined,
Its spirit echoes through the cosmic mind.

Though the body may fade, its essence remains,
A radiant thread in the cosmos' veins.
In every star, in every breath,
The soul's eternal dance defies death.
Druzzayne Rika Jul 2017
A nobody in a structure
I seek guidance
to pass through curvature,
to get a chance
and more
to make mistakes
and learn greater.
Druzzayne Rika Apr 2017
Earth's natural beauty
faded away somewhere
Manmade creativity
took houses on great heights
but took away the charm of green
Druzzayne Rika Nov 2017
She's just touching the surface
reaching no more than her own pain
losing days trying to wash her tear stains

the world's wishing her to rise above
look in their eyes and see the truth
to see what they try to allude

there is no straight way, no easy route
and everyone is the passenger of the same boat
looking for the very same perfect coat

But no one will get something which is not theirs
fate has decided everyone's own roadmap
there are some small steps, some big traps

Wait for the check points, rather than all stones
the game of the life, all to achieve and leave
don't just halt at one step to grieve
because she's just wasting her time.
Druzzayne Rika May 2017
Clarity stays near confusion
If you look beyond the haze
you'll get to meet her too.
Druzzayne Rika Jun 2017
Just when I thought
Nothing remained the same
Everything showed their true colours
Druzzayne Rika Nov 2020
The signals are weak
the road ahead is steep
a giant leap,
the wait is real
every step is a hurdle
It is coming.

must be
and little time
surmised a while
I am hoping for a blanket
engulfing me with warmth
but the rain showers
persist
and cool winds follow.

the signs outside the door is misleading
every intruder is entering
I am magnet to the things I avoid
I see it coming.

It comes.
Druzzayne Rika Apr 2017
Words are such powerful tool
       used so carelessly
Each word has an ability
      to give life
and to take away

You have the best ideas

I appreciate you

You light up the room

There's ordinary, and then there's you

Stay here longer

Even if half of these words said may be lies
But they still do their work
Druzzayne Rika Dec 2020
You are the reason,
but the bad one.
Druzzayne Rika Feb 2018
many days I feel it isn't worth it
it is better I end it
I just do not fit
right

Small disappointments
unfilled expectations
make my daily lessons
I am no longer surprised

gifted with so many unused liberties
armed with many facilities
having all basic amenities
why still unsatisfied?

my thirst for what?

but compare it to so many of them
where do my problems stand
should my opinions even matter

God still has to hear my many complaints
every other day
No wonder he doesn't listen,
I wouldn't too.

Blessed with so much
wasted it all
on being this bitter self I hate
my present state draws the ugly future
and the only cure
is to feel gratitude
on the things I still have
on my conscience who still cares
.
Druzzayne Rika Oct 2023
Look beyond the shimmery sea
I feel the dark is my destiny
Touch me not, I become
A creature of the night, unnamed

I feel the pull of the moon
Tides and turns in tune
I dance beneath the stars
As I lose myself into the darkness

I am a creature of the night
I am the dark's delight
I am the one you fear
I am the one you cannot see

I am the dark, and I am here
Druzzayne Rika Nov 2017
My cup of tea,
now empty.
sits by me silently,
waits for me
to be up patiently.
As it turned next day
it remains still
the same way.
