Yours Forever

No it’s not too far

That you have eloped

With your new life

As a string still exists 

Invisible and yet elastic

 

And I may seem

To have ended by now

It may sound creepy

But death cannot touch

Me anyhow

 

Coz I am immune to destruction

I can just grow

And continue to grow in your heart

No matter the distance

No matter you treat me how

 

And the...

failed romance

Venom of love


The darkest of the night it was
And storms were howling from all sides
But she dared to step outside the walls
Coz there was something scarier inside

That snare disguised as love
Was toxic for her life
As the venom passed across her bloodstream
When he kissed her every time 

She paced fast along the road 
To the woods half wrecked by the thunderstorm 
But it was safer than the cozy...

contemporary poetry

Soulfully beautiful? A myth

 

You said you believe
Beauty lies in the soul 
Then why Can’t you recognize me
Every time you see my unattractive eyes

Why dont you try to 
Read my mysterious mind

Why?

The answer I still seek 
From you every time
Stays as an eternal mystery
Coz what’s around me
Is wrapped in a rug of never-ending hypocrisy 

Why?

I may not possess those curves
Every night about whom you...

Property

 

It doesn’t matter how many years I have passed breathing oxygen 

What matters is my urge to play with the wind
as I oscillate through the swing 

And the force with which I exhale out my laughter

when those voices tickles my senses

And I feel as if I am still roaming around
In the streets of my childhood 

Somewhere looking for those pebbles
That were actual treasures of my li...

short poem

The phone call

 

Staring at the sign that says “Take exit 35 for airport “
I tried to hide my tears behind my acquiescent eye balls
A painful scream was trying to blast my head
But I tried to pass a smile at you instead

 

The cab turned right to stop at the parking lot
You said “I will miss you”, but I could hardly talk
Grasping a heartful of your glance , I turned around
I was scared, how broken ...

Smoke

Have you turned out to be just a thought?

Fading away as you have untied the knot

Why can’t you hear me as I scream?

Why have you stopped coming into my dream?

 

My scream tears my soul apart

I couldn’t realize when did the dusk start

I can feel my heart is now a hollow trough

I have filled it up with dark smoke

 

 

I can see you through these Smokey rings

Your ...

I

 

Who am I? 

 

Self realization, that I can re-construct the true strength in me! 

Self realization, that I can flaunt afront the world despite of all encapsulation.. 

Self realization, that I house the courage to rebuild myself with all my broken pieces... 

Self realization that my ignorance will destroy them more than my vengeance.. 

 

Helped me know myself... 

And I u...

The dreamt destiny

 

The mysterious mind... 

And its non-decodable thoughts of many-fold... 

Drifted her senses across the horizon.. 

And kept oscillating her between the real and a dream world... 

 

Puzzled and unaware... 

She finally held the hands of her dream...

And got overwhelmed to see all the pebbles on her way... 

Getting dissolved into the ground like a handful of melting cream.....

The uninvited gust

 

A sudden gust over the face of my life...

And gone with it... 

Was a wish I kept treasured for long in my heart..

Was that picture of your sun kissed face half covered with the shadow of your hair... 

And Was that part of your dream, in which I had my own share...

The heaven

 

I thought I was worn out.. 

A lifeless body and a lifeless smile.. 

Clueless what it was all about... 

I thought I have been standing dead for a while... 

 

Just then, you came along... 

Crossed my way... 

And you made me believe...

That I didn't fray... 

 

And that a heaven still exists... 

It can reform me again... 

As I can see it exists in every bit of ...

Hidden behind the dark


A rainbow of emotions... 
Is covering the sky of her life... 

Sometimes she feels a tragic downpour across her cheeks... 
Sometimes  there's this happy wind that blows her heart off... 

But she still can't see anything across her pathway.. 
On the other side nothing seems to be clear... 

Stumbling in her journey... 
On pebbles of uncertainty... 
She wonders where's the light...

The colourful rain

 

I had once met a colourful rain.. 

Somewhere in the forgotten pages of my time.. 

And I let it colour my soul from all sides.. 

Probably bcoz I had hoped it to be all mine... 

 

What it did to me,  was a magical stroke.. 

A barren desert was turned into a heart of gold... 

Each drop of its colours poured life into my deprived soul... 

And a never ending thirst was quen...

The dream I knew

 

Flower's adorning that backyard... 

And it was me standing on the balcony... 

Waiting for someone I know... 

And he would appear soon across those trees of mahagony... 

 

Fragrances and clouds were all I remember... 

And that was when,  my heart starts beating faster.... 

How much I was in love I still wonder... 

Is it just a dream that flashes in my sleep every night ...

Highway 39


It was 2pm of a hot summer day.. 
When  she opened my eyes to show me my way... 
I thought I have been left in the desert all alone... 
And she guided me back to what I knew was my home... 

Driving through the lanes on highway 39..
While trying to get rid of the memories I had left behind... 
I met this friend,  her name was "Life"... 
And somehow I realised I am still alive...

Sleepless Nights

 

These sleepy streets..

And the snoring world leaning on them...

Reminds me of the warmth of those hands...

And as that thought peeps my mind...

My heart skips a beat..

 

The beauty of this night...

And the moon kissing on its forehead..

Reminds me of some gifts from that heart..

And as that thought peeps my mind...

My heart skips a beat...

Dissolve in the air

 

 

She flaunts herself all around you..

You stare at her..

Wonder about her..

Dream about her..

 

One fine day you know..

Who is she?..

She's Love...

And you realise ...

You have been waiting for her...

All these while...

All throughout your life...

 

You tried to see her...

At home...

But she wasn't there..

You tried to find her...

Mystery behind the scene

 

They think about me...

Who am I?

 

Am I an open book,

Or a mere mythic story...

Am I a dramatic play...

Or just a single page of history...

 

Who am I?

 

They try to live through my life...

By flipping the pages of my past...

They try to penetrate through my mind..

But the more they try, the more I hide...

 

Because I...

Am a mystery...

The Silent Scream

 

I know now the pain of getting abandoned from my home...

I now feel the destruction being caused by the swirling storm...

Couldn't withstand the drift that crushed me from all sides...

I don't know how did I lose you even after holding you in me tight...

 

Can you recognise the shattered me inside this smiling face..

Can you see the tears rolling invisibly in its haphazard w...
