Firsts
How beautiful is it to feel
The moment before a touch,
The nervousness before a kiss,
The initiated small talks
That were of a big deal;
An achievement that’d
Be written in the books,
In the form of poems
That’d just begin to multiply
And beautifully compile.
The one who believed was unlucky
And incapable to be loved,
Comes across the greatest form of love
For the very first tim...

Moments Before the Leap
You stare at his thumping heart,
It’s rhythm and nervous smile
Sweeps your insecurities aside,
His exceptionally wide arms
Makes you want to be wrapped
But you wait for the
Beautiful beginnings to unravel.
How far could you travel?
How far is he willing to?
All that you once expected
Is all that you now want to be;
There’s an urge to fill up the garden
With all pastel coloured ...

Wake-Up Call
I used to believe that
The wind would carry me
And that I’d go with it’s flow,
But nothing really lifted me up
Until I rigorously learned
To harness the wind.
I began confessing;
Letting the free flow of words
That were stuffed in
The bottom of my heart.
I took the flights and hit the roads
Until my second thoughts
Were truly surmounted.
If I’d waited for the right time,
It...

Art
The men of wrath
Banter and rant
Next to the famed bar,
While the man inside
Recites his years long poetry.
Amidst the sectored chaos,
The beauty of his work
Seeps through the ruckus
To an open window
Seeking ailment and cure.
One by one, the broken pieces
Of a ceramic glass
Come back to life,
As the hours of the night
Dim the harsh voices of the strife.
A nearly wasted...

Calmness
When the silent night glimmers,
And the farthest star shimmers
Before the procurement of pitch dark,
Eyes search for the embodiment of warmth
And the heart pounds at the
Growing boundaries of silence.
In such moments of dense gloominess,
Tense feeling reach culmination
For the first time in years,
And as the clouds of distress
Come together up above,
Souls begin to cling;
Her hea...

Final Call Depot
Journey to the heaven’s gate begins
And I try to lift my hand
To wave a final goodbye
But it feel twice the size;
Failing to rise, claiming
Not to be mine.
There’s almost little to
No strength at the
Bottom of my spine,
But I still stand anyway
To watch him make his way,
While I, being his only connection,
Stand at the edge of the land
Trying hard to say many things
But fai...

Debt
Their eyes don't meet with mine,
There's a full stop to the routine
Chatter at quarter past nine,
An elderly heart whines
For the savings lost
On fruitless mines,
I get to hear furious yells
More than the temple bells,
It's a heartbreak weather altogether;
One by one, we lose all our feathers.
The food is served unequally
And there's more on my plate;
Th...

Pang of Dread
A heated argument
Takes a drastic turn
As things fade into black,
And as the white comes back,
One regretfully stands out
The barricaded door,
And with utmost concern
Knocks and knocks and knocks
Expecting some response;
On the other side of the door,
Water splashes and rinses
Blood, a lot of blood,
And the dreadful flood
Seaps through the door gap.

Fall From Grace
As the morning goes into
The arms of the evening,
And the sky turns pink,
Not all bonds stay linked;
One's wing kisses another's,
And the clock fails to cling,
And the time drops, a little too fast,
As two residents of air
Fall from grace
To forever rest
On the earth's surface.

A Lot Like You
I take the long way home
After spending the evening with you.
I watch the city lights' contrast,
And the shadows that the
Edifices effortlessly cast.
The wind carrying your love
Follows me until I reach home,
And no matter what the cost,
I'd limitlessly spend every
Pound and dollar and ruppee
To witness this luminous feeling.
I reckon there's no bet...

Let Be
Harsh spotlight penetrates
Through the high tides
To track the underwater stars
And to store them in the jars.
Gadgets drown and scatter
To gauge the deep underwater;
Keen cam-eyes spot some light
And share the resplendent sight.
In the unravelling of fate, a pearl
That denies to reciprocate with
The light is left alone in the water,
Only for it to li...

Have You?
I walk out into the lush green
To a tranquilizing Kargeen,
When a far gunshot shakes my soul
And the delicate trees lose their moles.
In the presence of whose reign
Is the humanity drowning in vain?
Some depend on War and Peace
To realise the pragmatic fact that
Conflicts can be dealt with ease,
While some still continued to tease,
Others relentlessly aimed t...
