Towards the far corner, 

An alluring kaleidoscopic spark

Catches my attention, and 

Besides the growing tension,

An out-of-the-world precipise

Who could overwhelm my heart.

Her unsurprised, unmoved eyes

Jesture that I was expected.

Once an untouched land;

An undisturbed beauty of sand,

Was wrapped in swathes of 

Yellow marked stripes

Indicating ownership and sale

Bricks supported by scaffolds,

Molten metal poured in the moulds,

Before the arrival of winter

And the first wave of cold,

There was a tint of gold

He knows us all by our names.

Around here for about fifty years,

He senses what’s in the letter;

Blitheness, gladness, fear or...

We are poets

Of the world,

We sometimes

Heal each other,

And sometimes

Hurt one another.

We love beyond

Boundaries and

Insecurities,

And not tend to

Look at people

And their feelings

As norms.

I wrote last night,

And every other night

For a person

Who I very much adored,

And sincerely loved;

She called me her love,

And in my a...

Under the rainy-cloudy night,

I find my way back to life;

The purest of all whites

To catch your pretty eyes.

I’m only here for a moment;

I’ve been asked to move soon.

I’ll fade before the night ends,

Just like the momentary moon.

Mud splatters give me peace,

Smell of petrichor is pure bliss,

Rain drops puts me at ease,

All of which I’ll truly miss.

My emotions have

Reached the peak,

I’ve felt a lot

In the past

Two weeks.

I’d nearly

Felt like home,

Under the sky’s

Purple tone.

The clouds

Were pink,

And the rest

Of the world

Had lost its ink.

I’d seen you

Written all over

The sky,

You made me

Want to fly.

But the evening

Was fleeting,

And so was

O...

The night seemed dark,

My room had lost its spark,

The only little light present

Was of the moonlight spotlighting

The pine tree outside my window

That pointed its fingers upwards.

My eyes spoke to the celestial bodies

That seemingly replied with blinks

And movements from afar,

And when they faded away,

There tiptoed a new star,

From a nearby region than ...

My nethermind’s scarred;

It’s inexplicably hard

To feel any feeling,

Or deal with any dealings.

I await with patience

The reverberating

Rays of healing.

It’s going to be

A long winter;

Gloomy, with

Recurring

Rain showers.

The winds of winter

Are entwined

With my past;

They’re merciless,

Relentless, reckless,

And steadfast.

I am aware that

We both aren’t

Perfect.

You are horizontal,

And I am vertical.

But we’d work out well

Together,  

Together,

We’d make a plus.

And thus,

I believe in us.

I truly do,

I forever will.

Tonight seems still

Like every other night,

Heavy on darkness

And low on light,

Everything seems nil,

As I wait for my w...

I walk this night,

On the shore,

Listening to the sound

Of the low tide,

Asking for more.

And in a moment,

I hear the high tide;

The enormous roar,

Providing me with

Something more.

I am reminded of you,

Of what you know,

And what you knew,

And your fear of

Starting new.

I am distant,

But my love isn’t,

I am with you,

Strolling around the city,

Masked; with utmost anonymity.

Bicycles moved about with ease,

Pushed by an uneasy breeze.

Below a bridge were few men;

Some needy, some crestfallen.

My camera shook and trembled

As it captured some disabled.

Walking back home felt heavy,

I no more felt any hungry;

Awake for the rest of the night,

Troubled by the inflict...

Love is simple,

Love is hard,

Love is like

The house of cards;

One wrong move

And everything

Falls apart,

But one right move

Can make life

Seem like art.

I’ve got a broken window,

And so, the sunlight, moonlight,

Butterflies, fireflies, faint-cries,  

Sea breeze, bees and apologies

Come in and go out.

They are all the visitors

Of the day,

They don’t really seem

To stay.

Some of them leave a

Remarkable aroma,

While some of them are

Reminders of a trauma.

Some things are meant

To leave ...

I can write poems,

I can write lyrics,

My voice isn’t for songs,

But I’d still sing along.

Historical, motivational,

Country music, acoustic covers,  

Heartbreak or harsh realities.

But if it’s about love,

I’m afraid I’m not that strong,

I’ll not be able to make an attempt

To write the song,

Or sing along.

There is no place

For me to dwell,

I don’t know

Me quite well.

Heartbreaks and

Unlove tales

Are the only

Baggage that I carry;

Reflecting in the lines

That I tell.

I’m too empty

Of love,

So, I can’t really

Serve my heart

Or sell.

Living in the moments

Of blue,

I don’t think that

I’ll ever be able

To book a table

Fo...
