I spent countless nights hating on loveEvery waking dream was torturousFlashes of lies, betrayals and mockery haunted meAnd the prospect of love induced burning tears.I couldn’t believe that even though I gave my all,Even though I loved more than I thought I couldEven though I gave more than I thought I owned,Yet I ended upContinue reading “You, Unexpectedly”

Sun Over Your Crescent
So many feelings, bottled-up Emotions and emotions, flooding my mind and heart, Every thought, every idea, every fleeting possibility, Piercing my peace like a glass shard. But I can not blame you, for who am I to you? Nothing, nothing, but a passing phase, Like a crescent moon in the night sky, Momentary happiness, meantContinue reading “Sun Over Your Crescent”
Another Lifetime
Love is the most powerful force. It harbors a whole spectrum of gentleness and passion, and of cherishing and of longing in it, all woven together intricately within us. But apart from the universally desired forms of love, one of its forms often goes underappreciated- the love of friendship. Unlike bonds of family that weContinue reading “Another Lifetime”
Is There an Answer to the Maybe?
How do you distinguish,Between what you crave and what you desire?How do you differentiateBetween a want and a need?Do the primal needs,Surpass self-constructed ones?Or do necessities of survival,Lag behind our own fabricated idealisms?And if not us,Who can make this distinction?Will it be the preachers of truth,Whose only merits are encounters with realities?Will it be leadersContinue reading “Is There an Answer to the Maybe?”

Beautiful, she was Oh, so beautiful! “Like the stars bedazzling the sky in fantasized patterns? Like the fresh roses or sweet words of a lover? Like the little mist on the tips of the blades of meadows? Was she as beautiful?” No, no. She is beauty, but not the one you find in plain sightContinue reading “More”

As Summer Dawns
I had never been much of a poet Neither could I call myself a writer To weave webs of metaphors, And paint canvases of symbols, It happened never. To arrange my thoughts in the same handful of alphabets To articulate my feelings with a pen and paper And to produce words that make one feelContinue reading “As Summer Dawns”

Easy, But is it Really?
As I grew up, it dawned upon me how easy it was. It’s something that I could have never imagined, Something that was beyond me and my mundane mind, Beyond my heart that bled ignorance in the face of this complexity. It is the truth, however, A truth that snapped me out of my naïveContinue reading “Easy, But is it Really?”

Light the matchstickLet it burn as you hold itLet the flame travel downwardsJust let it go a little longer. Feel the fire burn your fingertipsAnd the heat melt your skinLet the pain consume every partAs the fire devours you.

If I Told You
If I tell you to close your eyes If I tell you to stop yourself from listening If I tell you to believe the sweet lies If I tell you it’s no use speaking, Would you listen? If I tell you to let go If I tell you to sing loud If I tell youContinue reading “If I Told You”
