a snake in solitary

In the still of the night,I sense a feeling,creeping upon meLike an old snakewith sharp scales,Making way to a revelation. My arms don’t workas it crawls up my neck.Bruising my tender skin,with venom that usually fadesaway in the morning,but the night was still. He shed his skin.I stared at the wall,with a solitary tile,paralyzed into […]

a girl in green.

You were the song I almost skipped,a song with no melody,Hummed by a choir of liliesover a mellow meadowmildewed with an auranot so forgettable. A girl in green,on a crimson red bike,tucking a rogue strandof her half-groomed hairbehind her tiny little ears,prettier than rain herself. I wanted to look away,instead, resonated with the rain.She painted […]

a precarious palette of pessimistic purple

Painting an empty room,with coloursoff the palette,spat a brush, with fraysOf doubts and dilemmas,not chosen by ballot. Wanted to be alone,but ended upbeing lonely.All the colorsmelded into grey, yetno one could see. You paint on a white canvas,I paint my canvas white.Frays on my brushonly got worse by the night.Dipped it, in a bowl of […]

tired…

The days never felt so long, dark and vile. I was the moon, stuck in circles, taking a new face, as time goes, and repeating them, for it is finite. The rain never sang a song, so gloomy yet ambitious. I was the kid, who loved lonely boats, for the rain washed mine away, left […]

I wonder…

I wonder, if the sun ever felt tired, to rise so early, and to shine upon sinners, not all of them regret, and not all, forget. I wonder, if the rivers ever hesitate, to do the same thing, all day, all night, flowing into the sea, not where they want to be. I wonder, if […]

fireflies…

A little tap on the back, turned around to see, You, almost about a mess, a bit vague, I guess. messy hair, lazy but lively eyes, blinded by the skies, filled with fireflies. Fireflies? On a bright day? I must be out of my mind. You, made me blind, With words so […]

not anymore

not anymore, I can’t sense love anymore, all the hatred that began to roar, has left me nothing but weak and sore, holding myself to not run away from the door, that once carried the emotional downpour. I’m not even half the person I used to be, my face no longer lights up with […]

hurt

You left me searching for answers, For questions that never existed, Or atleast that’s what you said, But you had them all listed. Stop pretending, That you felt it, Like I did, Like anyone would, atleast from the palace where you stood. You left me at a beautiful view, And made me blind, Like a […]

the dream.

I had a dream, of a land far away, where people talk what they may, think from the bottom of their soul, where love was the unanimous goal. A place where father’s loved their sons, even though they hit teen, where love has no gender, where leaders knew what they mean. where newbies get a […]

A soldier’s solitude.

We never knew if we would return, Back home where we left our love, To be cherished and kept forever, But almost we never get our turn. We fight for heroes, We fight alongside heroes, We fight against heroes, Heroes? We are ’em. Deeds of destruction, Missiles that maim us, Bullets that borrowed lives of […]
