Lilac fields and midsummer air Crystal pools and mountains bare Clear blue sky and wind in my hair I would give anything to be there Tattooed skin with hometown lores Telling stories from the folksong stores Gathered around a bonfire, it soars The heat settles on my skin, a souvenir of smoke The embers high in the sky at night Constellations and mythical highs The darkness fades as the fireflies Brings about a day in the peak of night Burnt out wood and rustling leaves Don't venture out between the trees Drift easy into a dreamless sleep Awake enough to feel the misty freeze Dark blue skies and the air is cold Dawn breaks through the clouds of hope Willow warblers in ingenious encores I could relive this forevermore.  -Neha Bhende

I see the sky bleeding Electric crimson My feet in the sand Salty hair and wet hands I need a long break  From the crowned prison warden I need to come up for air I think I'm drowning I want to ride the highway And feel the wind on my face And meet the clouds through a glass Thousand feet up in a craft Empty excitement And botched holiday plans Let's go to places we have Never been before, And Watch the mountains sit up Like paintings on an easel Hurling vibrant shades of blue At our dull gray mornings But there's a sickly crown That's being passed around You won't know where it's headed Until you feel it heavy on your head So don't be the infinity drop of the next wave That ends up being the one to eulogize The ones who gave their lives for a cause  No one else was willing to fight for.  -Neha Bhende

Do you feel like you're sinking Down to the sea bed When all you wanted to was float Right ahead Do you feel the tides hunting you And somehow you feel blessed Coz in those rough moments all you had To do was be yourself Lately you've been in pain. You've been dealing with it differently Are you sure you're okay?  Be brave There's nothing else like this That's the kind of hopeless forgiveness that exists Do you feel the water fill your lungs And somehow you could breathe And every time you fell apart You landed on your feet I know it hurts to be so held back When you know what you're worth You need to break the walls and swim through sand Until you're out of the woods Sometimes you'll see the end Approaching but you'll never give in Be brave there's nothing else like this You're the kind of dauntless that must exist I know you've left past behind Never let go of your worth You know how to shine in your own light  In the en...

Hold up my bag  While you walk to school with me Wait at the gate each day To ask me how my day has been I'll tell a lie " It was fine" You knew I wasn't alright Silently we drive back home Discussing what I'd like to eat at night Smile at me with no ounce of sadness As I show you what I'm proud of Pat me on the shoulder and say let's celebrate Somehow we always seem to have cake Two years old, dancing in the living room Barefoot on the carpet, no music heard All I remember is that video camera Backed up onto the family folder Smaller the drop, bigger the ocean Steeper the cliff, easier the climb Talk to me about the little things Trust that I'll remember the little things Habits die hard over centuries Battles cool down, in the wake of memories Call it a truce, because you're my parents Call it a truce, because I learned my lesson -Neha Bhende

Sometimes I wake up To the sounds that remind of when I used to stay up late  Fighting chemical wars in my head But every scar I have Tells people that I lost Why can't it be proof That at least i fought?  When did falling down Become an excuse to give up?  When did watching from The sidelines be enough?  But every scar I have Tells people that I lost Why can't it be proof That at least I showed up?  How is it so easy To put down people when they are At their very worst Do you even have a heart?  Every scar I have Is proof of my fight Of dark clouded mornings And self reflection nights I've seen the worst of Myself , Give me a break I'm trying to find the light While stuck in a cave Every scar i have Is proof of every fight i fought Every time I cry I know i've grown up.  - Neha Bhende

I live in the city Skyline so pretty It's always been Deep purple to me           The people so red Fuming talks ahead About the best thing ever Since sliced bread Yellow runs in the morning With blue faces in mourning With grown ups saying loud You're too old to be crying Orange evenings' a halo With green lights on the go If the worlds' a hurricane All I see is a Rainbow - Neha Bhende

I knew I loved you  But I had to let you go You looked into my eyes I've never seen that look before That disappointment, with Which you learnt to forget me The paranoia slowly Killed me in your dreams And as you walked over  My grave, I could sense you  That bitter sweet decay That cold hearted shoulder With the sound of the day My body began to turn blue I deserved all the tears Except the ones I got from you It's tattooed in my mind The face with which you said goodbye Its the last thing I'll remember But the first to make me cry.  - Neha Bhende
