joy

Joy is my woe  A sickness that won’t let go Every day I spend laughing Every smile, high on slacking I’m keeping score for what I owe To the darkness for when it unfolds Amidst hushed slumber all’s pacific My guilty ocean’s got me asphyxic Salted pathways carve the sheets Numb from holding i release…

Enchantress

She struts across your lane, you try to control the urge, but she knows you will be looking anyways. You remember the first time you had ever heard of her, the memory still crisp. Though quite young but you can still feel the melancholy her name had resonated. And now as you find her looking…

No place

She sets out onto the solid road, passing by the college kids roaming about chasing some purpose, some meaning. Not a huge town, she muses taking in the classic Indian small city surrounding her. She tries to overlook the scenario extending between the college gate and the world outside the hospital gates. For there, lying…

Time on me

I realise how cheesy it sounds but I could see constellations in your eyes. I could feel our souls yearning to be together yet again in this lifetime. The air crackled and I swear we could have short circuited the whole place down. Until you reached forward and held my hand and I heard a…

A letter to the beyond

Celebrating the birth of death

  The season of death’s around the corner The first of its kind, she’s being honored   With passing faces and clouded whispers Somewhat distant yet somehow blisters She wants to fight it, hold on to memories Of chasing winds, of senses blazing Of scratches and bruises, of stargazing   Of falling and of being…

The thing about fireflies..

   chasing fireflies to lock them in a jar.    i’d always free them and you, learnt to love from afar. wish i could learn to love from afar.

Untitled#6   I Wish She Could..

With her feet up high swinging ever so lightly, if only she could feel the wind kissing her toes. With her hands being held,she’s lost in melancholy, if only only she could let its presence grow. Sighing and screaming asking for an escape, if only she could feel the constant ebb and flow. Looking to…
