From his chalice of grief, He extracted tears of joy, He knew he couldn’t move mountains, So he collected drops of dew, And cuz he didn’t want her to wane into The darkness of his absence, He poured all his love Into her glass of sunshine.

Old lies in my vase
I refuse to give in, To your acts of deception anymore, To the fabrications You disguised in the silken threads Of falsehood. And I refuse to forgive you For the times you crushed My assumptions Under the parched trunk Of your soi-disant ego. But I’ll also never forget How I let you Plant old liesContinue reading “Old lies in my vase”
Retrouvailles
If we ever meet again, Don’t look me in the eye, I might fall for you again, And trust me, I can’t afford to go through all that pain. … If we ever meet again, And it reminds you, Of the times we spent together, The joy and the laughter, Smile at me, like strangersContinue reading “Retrouvailles”
The distance between you and me
You ask me to measure The distance between you and me. At first, it seems impossible, For days, it made me wonder, And I couldn’t bring myself to an answer. As days passed by, bearing the thought, I missed you more and more, Feeling all the while like We were growing further apart. Until finally,Continue reading “The distance between you and me”
Almost like love
Blushing cheeks and sweaty hands, Heartbeats dance a butterfly dance, Almost like love. … Engraved initials in inky hearts, Stolen glances and hidden love notes, Almost like love. … Spring breeze and sashaying trees, Blossoming lilies in burbling creeks, Almost like love. … Silver moonlight and twinkling stars, Granted wishes in stardust shower, Almost likeContinue reading “Almost like love”
Doors
Too oft my mind ventures, Out of its dark confines, Beyond the doors of solitude, Eluding its labyrinthine passages. Trying to seek refuge In blissful sunshine, And eternal hope, A place, where I can quiet my chaotic mind, And grab a drink, to sit with my musings, And arrange maybe, a bouquet of flowers, TheContinue reading “Doors”
Finger of light
Through uncharted territories, And wild, unpaved paths, When I was almost lost, You stood like a beacon, And guiding me through, Was your finger of light.
I heard your name
Into the woods I ventured, Between lowly vale, and cascading falls, And in the swishing of the wind, And the rustling of leaves, I heard your name.
Dinner time conversations
“We’re gonna relocate”, my dad said, Just as mom began serving dinner that day, It was the beginning of December, And yet, a trickle of sweat ran down my spine.. I looked at him in disbelief, then at mom, She didn’t have a word to say, but she didn’t return my gaze either.. “Why?? Where??”Continue reading “Dinner time conversations”
It’s not easy, being me
I might make your day easy, With jokes and puns that are cheesy, But I wouldn’t let you know, That my insides are queasy. I could crave pani puri and biryani one day, Or simply stay hungry and sulk away, One time I’d listen to Ed Sheeran and Coldplay, Or you might find me blaringContinue reading “It’s not easy, being me”
