  • Why he is he

    She changes after the alliance
    Where as he remains the same

    She has her own identity
    But the name is his

    She has her say in making decisions
    But the final verdict is his

    She also earns money
    But the bread winner is he

    She makes and nurtures the home
    But the house is his

    She is the backbone of the family
    But the head is always he.

  • “Inspiration”

    “Inspiration”

    Inspiration hits hard
    when the cloud shouts loudly,
    when the rain brings blessings
    and the breeze brings hope .

    The hope ties me with
    a pinch of confidence,
    a dare to care less
    and an ocean to dream more.

    The inspiration collides with
    the breeze of hope.
    They make room for each other
    to grow into a promise of success.

    A success to befriend me,
    take me to cloud nine.
    Turning a timid girl
    to a dauntless forever.

  • “Cityscape Whispers”

    In the heart of the city, a symphony of sound,
    Where dreams and chaos beautifully abound.
    Skyscrapers stand tall, reaching for the sky,
    A testament to human ambition, soaring high.

    Sidewalks filled with hurried feet,
    City’s heartbeat, steady and fleet.
    Horns honking, taxis passing by,
    Bright lights shimmer, catching the eye.

    Sidewalk cafes whisper tales untold,
    As conversations brew, both young and old.
    In the midst of the hustle, lives intertwine,
    A symphony of strangers, an intricate design.

    The city breathes with vibrant zest,
    Opportunities abound, a constant quest.
    Yet amidst the chaos, a sense of belonging,
    In this city tapestry, our stories are thronging.

    Simple moments, connections made,
    In the city’s embrace, memories are laid.
    A place of dreams, where paths align,
    The city, a home, forever mine.

  • The chosen road

    The other day I lied down next to her and as we saw the stars I asked if she thought we had different things written for us?

    To this my twin replied-

    For there are so many stars yet we see each twinkle differently
    For every heart has its own blooming flowers
    And for different eyes dream of things in ways unimaginable.
    And oh, how each soul has its own light.

    Yet we often stop to see if the grass really is greener on the other side as we walk down our aisle of life

    For we were always taught about the road not taken but never about the different roads taken to a similar destination.

  • “Whispers of Enchanted Realms”

    In the land of dreams, where magic is real,
    Where stars talk and trees can feel,
    A wondrous story begins to unfold,
    Full of colors, adventures untold.

    Imagine a place untouched by time’s hand,
    Where vibrant creatures dance and band,
    A symphony of life, joyful and free,
    Where fantasy and reality agree.

    Rivers sing with a sweet melody,
    Flowing through a world of mystery,
    They share secrets with ancient trees,
    Guarding tales of forgotten seas.

    Gardens bloom with flowers unseen,
    Each petal a masterpiece, a dream,
    Their scents carry stories deep inside,
    Of love, of loss, of secrets they hide.

    Look up at the sky, so vast and bright,
    Where stars twinkle, painting the night,
    They tell stories in patterns and signs,
    Guiding lost souls with celestial designs.

    But the true wonder lies within our hearts,
    A key to unlock this realm of arts,
    For creativity resides deep within,
    Unleashing magic, where dreams begin.

    So let’s wander together, hand in hand,
    In this world of dreams, where we’ll expand,
    Where imagination reigns, wild and free,
    Embracing the beauty that poetry can be.

    For in the realms of art and thought,
    The ordinary becomes extraordinary, if sought,
    Within this poem’s embrace, you’ll find,
    A universe of beauty, forever entwined.

  • For you

    For i always wondered how did we end up here?
    The other day when I looked into your soft yet strongly placed eyes I could see the oceans that your soul carried with itself.
    How could we really love each other?
    For we arenโ€™t a bit similar

    You are the ice cold water that could quench the thirst of an entire desert
    And i?
    I am the little bonfire in a huge mansion trying to Light up a room.

    You are a farm full of beaming sunflowers
    And i?
    I am the wet earth of the rains

    We donโ€™t really belong
    Do we?

    We are the cold winter days on which you can spot the sun and the moon together
    Miles apart yet together.

    We are the drenched, dancing sunflowers
    Of the rains

    And we are the bonfire in a little home in midst of citylights

    For i realised we belong in ways earlier unknown to the little kid in me

    For i know that i carry your heart with me now

    And now when when i look into your eyes i can see MY SOUL carrying oceans with itself
    For my soul now resides in you.

  • Demons in the Dark

    I am afraid of the demons,
    Lurking in the dark streets,
    Always ready to pounce on me.
    I am afraid of being alone,
    In the night, at my home,
    Frightened that they will find me.
    I am afraid of the darkness,
    Where everyone is blinded,
    There are demons that i can see.
    I am afraid that my people won’t believe me,
    That they think I am the one who is guilty,
    And those monsters are left free.
    Another night in the city,
    A girl is humming happily,
    Unaware of the demons who,
    For their next prey are ready.

    -Dhwani Milwani

  • Autumn arrives…..

    Autumn arrives
    like an experienced robber,
    Grabbing the green stuff
    Then cunningly grabbing his tracks
    5. with a multitude
    Of colourful distractions
    And the wind,
    The wind is his accomplce
    Putting a air of chaos
    10. into the careful diversions
    So the branches shakes
    And dead leaves are suddenly blown
    In the faces of inquisitive strangers
    The theft chills the world
    15. changes the temper
    Till a normally placid sky
    Glows red with a quiet rage.

  • okay

    okay

    It’s okay to cry sometimes,
    Let the pillow soak the fear
    The gasp of helplessness
    Felt, due to the demons lying within;
    The shiver that ran down the spine
    Due to the unwelcome touch of
    Noises, settled in ur head.

    It’s okay to sometime
    Immerse yourself in the
    Weightlessness of sleep
    It is okay to feel the numbness
    Not bothering bout the pricks
    Of pain, loneliness and
    Hundred other things
    I know it’s okay
    It is sometimes okay

  • Spring is Coming; A Spring Without You

    The clouds of skyland
    Were lightening up,
    With each day in passing.
    As if clearing way for mighty Sun.
    And the sun
    Persisted ruder and ruder.

    Bijli.
    Today is a beautiful day.
    The red silk tree is standing ground
    Annual it loses everything to winter.
    It is welcoming spring
    With Crimson plums.

    As blooming with beauty, might the landscape be,
    it misses you.
    I miss you.

    There is a line I have to cross.
    A place at life’s disposal,
    Where I am awaited.
    And I’ll be there.
    But today is the day,
    I long to spend with you.

  • Winter

    Fighting the icy winds
    I long to feel the warm flowers
    But I fear the arrival of spring
    Because winter is all I’ve known

  • Candle March

    Candle March

    Candle march we do , its just a two day show…
    The one protesting today might called a girl a day before hoe…
    Its not about the age its not about the race
    Its not about the outfit and not even the beautiful face…

    Aac to some girls are not safe at night
    But same started happening in a shiny daylight….
    This is our INDIA , country of โ€˜vedasโ€™ and โ€˜granthsโ€™…
    But the worst is happening here now even with the child of โ€œmonthsโ€…

    They get raped and get blamed too for their attire…
    This tym it should be something strict , not just candle fire…
    They should be burnt alive , who burnt the dignity of that teen…
    No more words Iโ€™ve to say …about this horrific scene….

  • Shadow

    Shadow of darkness Shadow of me
    In the corner of life
    where the lights defy Whenever I started to walk with me,
    on the way to rise and see
    they captured me
    Alone… with the darkness indeed

  • Clay

    You’re clay,
    molded by everyone
    you’ve shown yourself to.
    A piece of everyone that mattered,
    lies within you.

    This is a beginning;
    a hunt for a new hope;
    a call for mistakes.
    You’ll smile, laugh, mope,
    whatever it takes,
    for better or for worse.

    I want you to carry
    every ounce of love you hold onto,
    the bulletin of hurt you’re scared of
    and, most of all, your curiosity
    in your pockets, like rocks.

    For out of these rocks will you
    build yourself a kingdom huge,
    sheltered from the deluge
    of anything that could bring you down.

    And know that
    although I too will be busy
    making jewelry out of my hardships,
    I’ll set it aside
    for a while
    to help you find a pearl you lost,
    over the phone.

    Know that
    on days when you’re interrogating
    silence for answers, frantically scourging,
    or grabbing happiness by her hair,
    rejoicing,
    I’ll be there.

    For you’re clay,
    molded by everyone
    you’ve shown yourself to.
    And I’ve sculpted a part of you
    as have you sculpted a part of me.

  • Tapestry of life.

    In the tapestry of life, we find profound art,
    A symphony of moments, where emotions impart.
    With brushstrokes of joy and shades of despair,
    Life’s canvas unfolds, beyond what we’re aware.

    In the depths of existence, mysteries reside,
    A quest for meaning, where truths coincide.
    We wander through corridors of time and space,
    Seeking purpose and wisdom, in this transient chase.

    Through valleys of sorrow and mountains of glee,
    We navigate the labyrinth, longing to be free.
    For life’s essence lies not in fortune or gold,
    But in connections we forge, stories yet untold.

    We dance with the stars and converse with the moon,
    Whispering secrets beneath a sky that’s strewn,
    With dreams and desires that ignite our soul’s fire,
    Guiding us through darkness, towards passions entire.

    Yet amidst the euphoria, shadows will creep,
    Moments of anguish, when faith may seem bleak.
    But remember, dear wanderer, in the bleakest night,
    Stars still shimmer, infusing hope’s gentle light.

    In the tapestry of life, threads intertwine,
    Creating a symphony, harmonious and fine.
    Each note and each color, a part of the whole,
    Weaving tales of resilience, awakening the soul.

    Embrace the fleeting moments, both bitter and sweet,
    For they shape your essence, make life complete.
    Embrace the lessons, the scars that reside,
    For they sculpt your spirit, let your wisdom abide.

    In the grand tapestry of life’s intricate design,
    Seek solace in knowing, you’re a thread so divine.
    Embrace the journey, the highs and the strife,
    For in this eternal dance, you’re a reflection of life.

  • A Blind Girl

    A Blind Girl

    I can’t see day, or night,
    As my eye’s don’t touch any light,
    The nature, Mountain, River you can enjoy, But nothing for me to joy,
    Sunlight of the morning and moonlight of the night, Tell this blind girl how is the light?
    You talk of how wondrous is Sunlight,
    But I can’t see it, as I do not have Sight,
    I feel warm and cold!
    as I make day or night by my own,
    A loud sound I can hear,
    But sure with patience I can bear,
    Though my eye’s can’t see any thing
    God is there to help me in everything, As any battery don’t work without cell, Though my eyes are blind, I am very well, As I am blind, I never complain God,
    As everything happen to being good, People tease the girl as a blind,
    But the girl by nature is very kind,
    The blind girl don’t have any vision But she can do anything for her nation.

  • Grey Gust

    Grey Gust

    You moved on the next day
    While I was waiting for your black text
    Looking at the tattoo, the words feeling bitter and somber
    That false night dragged on and the morning was dry

    You shared secrets and champagne with someone else
    What was once our way became a common thing with nameless people
    You replaced me and I despised you

    But the voice reminded me of that night
    When it was laughs and love
    With cookies and trash movies
    Shared soda and jokes between you and me

    With chunks of cold love at my feet
    You left my heart in the gutter, bleeding and broken
    Shattering me into pieces of filth and dump

    Just for me to come again back to you
    Like a river which can’t change its course
    Like the moon every night jumping back into darkness
    Like the candle burning itself to thaw others
    Give, give, and give myself to you

  • Snaps of illness

    Responsible for misfortune
    Called for the suffering
    Praying the deamons
    Save from death.

    Faith rooted in stars
    Places forget our name
    From churches to temples
    Cities rise and vanish.

    Come as a wind
    lift up the dust
    Rattle the reflection
    For no one to look.

    Foot out the door
    cold wrists in sleeves
    vision blurred
    A deer ran across.

    Towards the mountain
    upwards it takes
    from toe to head
    Aย priceย toย pay.

  • In the Face

    I had a crazy dream,
    shadows all around,
    I am the strongest,
    ghost in the town.

    I need to find a boat,
    I’m stuck at the sea,
    The river in the sky,
    is calling for me.

    The sea came a storm,
    I thought of my grave,
    offer my prayers,
    to the scary waves.

    I have to give up,
    my blood is spilled,
    Red one will take,
    a roseย inย theย flowers.

  • I Owe it to Myself

    You come to go
    You stay to leave
    You make me happy
    To make me sad
    The very next instant
    You care to hurt
    You attend to ignore
    You make me smile
    To make me cry
    The very next instant
    You say things to make my heart flutter
    And then shun them all
    The very next instant

    You know what?
    Keep doing it.
    Keep breaking me up.
    Keep tearing me apart
    As it will only make me stronger
    It will make the pain go numb
    It will make me care no more
    I will be it all, thanks to you

    You wanna make me jealous?
    Go ahead and try
    You wanna see me care?
    Go ahead and cry
    I will bear it all
    Even if I’m dying inside
    I would prefer that
    Than showing you my love anymore
    You! Yes, You! Go play those games some more
    You’re only helping me lose interest
    Thanks, you!

    You want the friendship, you say?
    Sure, take it
    But don’t expect anything more
    As I have promised to get over you
    I owe it to myself!

  • I Could call mine

    I love myself and i enjoy alone time
    But i want someone i could call mine
    Some one to talk about my life and how my day was
    How many of my nails are broken and what was the cause
    The time I woke up or what kept me up whole night
    Sometimes i just need someone i could call mine
    want to tell you what my horoscope says ,how people suck and what’s the colour of the sky today
    Talk about my fears and what made me upset
    Tell you about my friends and how we met
    Want to share about how my thoughts and the universe align
    Sometimes i just need someone i could call mine
    Want to share my deepest secrets and also my weekend’s plan
    Talk about astrology and the Thai actors i stan
    Talk about my favourite shows and the books i love
    My favourite foods which i never get enough
    Tell you about the music i listen to in shower and how everytime the soap slips off my hand
    Tell you about my dream and the nightmares i have and how much i enjoy running on the sand
    Talk about my goals,my aspirations, and my priorities
    The places i love and how i like the reels about swifties
    Want to share what makes me happy and my eyes shine
    Sometimes i just need someone i could call mine
    Want to share my lows, and the guilts i have
    The lies i told and the type of content i save
    Want to tell about the problems i have and how i use my rudest behaviour as my shield
    What hurts me the most and how i healed
    I know i am enough for me but i need someone to hold me close
    In better and worse, for happiness and remorse
    I want someone to tell me how much they love me and what they adore
    Someone who just doesn’t change colours behind closed doors
    I just need someone to be by my side even when everything goes wrong
    Even if people go against me or my whole world gets shattered
    I need someone to just walk along
    No matter how much i go through or wherever i roam
    I just need someone i can always run back to
    Someone who just feels like home
    They say for everything there’s a right time
    So i will wait until i could call you mine!

  • Aurora of the life

    Then there comes that moment of your life
    When no matter what’s going on in your life
    You’ve got no idea about your future
    You’ve tried way too hard for everything
    You have no clue where it’s all taking you

    You’ve just been climbing, freezing, walking
    Panting, running up the high mountains.
    Continuing all worn out, hungry, thirsty.
    You know it’s life, it’s been like that always.

    But then
    That moment
    You look up
    You look at the sky
    You see the A U R O R A of your life

    You feel all the things fall back into the right place
    You begin to find meaning in everything, all the things.
    You don’t regret anything now,
    the freezing, the walking, the panting, the running
    It all starts to make sense.

    You know now, everything has a meaning.
    You know now, you’re meant to be.
    You know now, you’ve been living for this very moment.

    You’re very aware, it won’t last forever
    But every single second with that Aurora
    You’ll remember the rest of your life
    And it’s just so enough for you to make you, you.

  • More like a warrior, less like a Lover

    My heart doesn’t beat
    It howls like the wolves
    I tried building houses in cities
    I’m homesick for the Woods

    My blood smells of wilderness
    The wounds can’t make me cry
    My glances shout of ferociousness
    They fail to look me in the eye

    I’m not born to belong to
    Rainbows and romance
    Rather I’m built to live with dark
    Carry my own fire and lance

    Settling with the sheep, a sin
    The wolves would need me back
    I’m not following the trails of shepherds
    I was sent to lead the pack

    I howl towards the moon
    With my longing too fierce
    The only way of affection i know
    I’m unaware of hugs and tears

    My pace in deadly cold
    Synchs with each shiver
    I’m more like a warrior
    And less like a lover

    – Samriddhi

  • The Prince of Death

    The Prince of Death

    Amid dark sky,
    He came unannounced.

    With the fancy mask
    Covering his face,
    hiding him from the world.

    A sword of depression and anxiety,
    With a chariot of cries and broken dreams.

    He came, he came for her.
    Standing on the edge,
    She was looking at the world.

    Holding a letter,
    Clutching it tightly,
    She smiled.

    A smile that resides with pain,
    Along with dark and storm.

    He stood behind her,
    Watching her without emotions.

    She looked behind one last time,
    With only that painful smile.

    He looked at her,
    Mesmerized by her eyes.

    He stood stunned, looking at the creation of the earth.
    He went near her, slowly and smoothly.

    Wiping her tears,
    He lost himself in her eyes.
    She stood astonished looking at him with wide eyes.

    A spark of love bloomed, the moment their eyes met.
    The prince of Dark was now fighting against time.

    With a heavy heart,
    He smiled at the beauty and kissed her forehead lovingly.

    “You are meant to be happy”
    He said and put his hands on her head.

    She woke up the next day,
    With all new dreams and masks at her side.

  • Wonder Woman

    “Lord?” A boy asked,
    “Is there a person who can multitask?
    No, right? Then bestow us with one.
    For, is it too much to ask?”

    Little boy, look around you,
    You will see nothing new,
    But a person you will surely see..
    Look at your mother,how strong is she?
    Not a single task she can’t do,
    Who cares for you when you get a flu?
    Cooking to working to maintaining bonds,
    She is difficult to understand like a deep pond.

    Thousands of burden she carries,
    A peaceful world for her is imaginary.
    She is born with fear,
    Many taboos and myths she has to clear.
    From discrimantion to no appreciation,
    She always fights against depreciation.
    She is a prey in thousands of eyes,
    Because people like to jeopardize.

    But no! She will get up..
    Earlier she may have been a pup
    Now her heart is not corrupt.
    Everyday she fights for herself..
    Trust me, she has a lot on her shelf.

    You can take away her smile,
    She will strengthen herself meanwhile.
    Law and engineering they can study,
    Give them a chance somebody?
    She can’t be out late at night,
    The rules you have kept are surely tight.
    She needs to learn self defense,
    But when will you learn self resistance?!
    She can wear anything she likes,
    Yes she can also learn to ride a bike.
    She can make you proud,
    Just scream her achievements loud!
    She is not soft
    She can be as cold as a frost.
    Whether she is Greta or Seema Rao
    Never question ‘how?’.
    The difficulties she has to face,
    She always accepts them with a grace.

    “Who is she lord?”
    In a world of superman
    She is a superwoman.
    Who fights for justice
    And can handle any crisis.
    Mothers, nurses, doctors, officers, engineers
    All professions she can clear.
    She is the creator, but she can destroy too,
    This wonder is a woman for you.
    She is a woman, she is a girl,
    She is as beautiful as a pearl..
    Beware! When time comes she can be as strong as a whirl!

  • A Mother’s Trust

    A Mother’s Trust

    JUST TRUST ME!
    For once can you put some faith in me
    it’s not like I’m asking to be free.

    JUST TRUST ME!
    Why do you doubt me so?
    it’s not like I’m your foe…

    A day comes where a letter arrives
    something that was meant as a surprise
    from a friend who’s near and dear
    someone who is sincere.
    But you were the one who opened the door that day
    not a single word did you say
    when I asked who it was, you lied
    maybe that was when my love for you died.

    You had many opportunities to tell me
    well at least now I see
    how little you trust me
    I wish you’d hear my plea
    Reading my letter
    did it make you feel better?
    Going through my phone
    to me completely unbeknown
    Like I’m not even one of your own
    maybe it’s better to be alone.
    I simply wish that you’d trust me already!

  • ARE YOU????

    All thoughts and emotions everyone come across through in their life.

  • wandering soul

    wandering soul

    just random feelings

  • You are

    You are

    You are not Goa, Maldives or Paris
    A place to Escape from the chaos they made
    And then to ghost you until a new mayhem is placed

    You may be bitter with your candor frames
    But you are bigger than their twisted lies with dual sides

    You are not the star that doesn’t have it’s own light
    You are a sunshine that lights the whole world
    You are a precious, loved and cherished kind

  • The Painting

    Nineteen strings to express her melancholy,
    corollary adorned with blood cerise.
    For she gapes upon the golden deer,
    Afraid, abandoning the tool of harmony,
    scampering through the woods she goes.
    Symphony stricks the golden innocence
    muting its agony with a crimson splosh.

  • Underrated Heroes

    Silent strength, a captivating grace,
    Women, like art, adorn this earthly space.
    With every step, they embody power,
    Aesthetic wonders in each passing hour.

    From gentle whispers to voices bold,
    Their words, like poetry, beautifully unfold.
    They nurture, they heal, they fiercely aspire,
    Unveiling beauty, setting souls on fire.

  • Void

    In the void,
    Away, unaware.
    Where the voice reaches but never returns.
    Nebulous ideas .
    Constant pursuit for oblivion.
    Livin’ in vain
    Believing the contrary
    Eccentrism is absurd.
    Typical is embraced.
    Approaches are disdained.
    Approach seems lucid.
    A voice is unheard.
    Voices are lost.
    Into the void
    Where everything is in vain.

  • Social Anxiety

    Social Anxiety

    Judgemental glares
    follow every turning head
    as my name is called
    Loud and clear.
    It leaves my ears ringing
    & my legs go weak.
    But I make an effort.

    Somehow I stand,
    and walk towards the stage.
    Right now, my heart desires to shatter my ribs
    And escape into a black hole
    Its beats, loud and fast,
    must be audible to the whole room
    My demons are having a laugh right now
    They mock my audacity for even showing up
    Each bone in my body is cursing me
    And begging me to take off
    Fly away
    Fade away
    Disappear

    The voices begin again
    “I am embarrassing myself”
    “They’re all better than me”
    “I don’t have what it takes”
    “I am inadequate”

    Again, I make an effort.
    Standing on the stage,
    I take deep breaths
    And fill my struggling lungs
    with much-needed oxygen.
    I raise my eyes and go through
    The known and unknown faces in the crowd
    They all look like judgemental robots

    Again, I make an effort
    I try to produce a sound
    through my quivering lips.
    It’s hard to utter complete sentences
    while looking at them.
    I lower my head and speak to the ground,
    opening and closing my perspiring fists.
    It’s easier like this.

    Occasionally, I lift my head
    only to welcome a new rush of adrenaline.
    It’s hard to let go of my social anxiety
    since it doesn’t let go of me.
    It has become integral to me
    like the colour of my skin.

    In this cold room full of masses,
    I long for the warmth and comfort of my four-walled room.
    My safe haven
    Where I don’t have to make one effort after another
    Where I am not surrounded by these judgmental faces
    Where I do not embarrass myself
    Where there is no one better than me
    Where I do not worry about my inadequacy
    Where I have what it takes.

  • For the mornings of life

    The yellow beam of winter noon
    stealing glances
    through agape blinds,
    still at bay, the pallid moon.
    brushing every blemish and scar,
    the cursive freckles of your arm,
    the tiny crescent of your palm.
    the silk of your hemline
    stroked in gentle tones,
    joys inclined.
    only a brief break
    from supple spell;
    letting you lean
    back to loving lull.

    Outside at the juncture
    of crimson and grey;
    the last of fear abandoning
    like golden star,
    drowning into soft sapphire
    of heavens afar.
    deadlocked between
    life and demise;
    every breath and cry,
    gasping in cacophony
    of tender melody.

    Bones that howled in
    silent screams of woes;
    heart chafed with crawling
    anger, relief slipped
    in cusp of sorrows.
    now all tossed into obsidian snow.
    giving way to
    auburn tints of light;
    life wailing with
    olive green of delight;
    springing up into
    caress of cold nights.

    All for you to shine.
    so shine till even sun sighs
    and swerves away
    into heaving sky.
    long rested underneath
    the lonely skin,
    now it’s time
    to unleash the flames
    of daisy lights within.

  • Memories

    Somewhere in the cage of heart it’s hiding there,

    I don’t know why but it’s fading somewhere.

    I’m telling my heart not to remind it;

    But it again comes from nowhere.

    But the truth is that it doesn’t go anywhere,

    It’s still always in the book of my heart,

    Coz they are meant to be there.

    They are not only timeless treasure of heart;

    They are chance to live moment forever.

    It never fades but we make up mind not to remind them forever;

    And again that evocution endup being a memory from somewhere.

    It’s a loop from which we can’t escape

    And we should accept this to souvenir.

  • A letter to the perfectionist

    To that little kid, the perfectionist
    I want to ask ,why are you struggling?
    You might not always be able to prove your worth
    But atleast you are trying.

    Remember those blissful days when your armour used to be all shiny and new
    Those very people who showered you with praises ,
    Now look at you in vain and ask โ€œWhat happened to youโ€.

    Your parents who used to sing countless songs about their worthy daughter,
    So capable and strong
    Now look for ways to hide from the common eyes
    And sit in a solitary corner thinking what went wrong

    They will never know and neither do you
    Maybe its just a stage of growing up or a phase
    you need to pass through

    All you know is that you still dive as deep as then
    And try to defend their honor and name
    While your shoulders sag defeatedly in shame

    But there will again come a time
    When the flag of your victory will surely rise
    And then you will look back upon them with a smile
    Thinking, they will never know that gleeful days come with a heavy price.

  • Whispers of the Soul

    In the twilight’s gentle embrace I stand,
    A poet lost in the vastness of the land.
    The stars, like whispers, adorn the night sky,
    Unveiling secrets that make my spirit fly.

    Oh, moonlit muse, with your silver glow,
    Guide my pen as the verses ebb and flow.
    Let me weave words like a tapestry of dreams,
    Where reality and fantasy entwine their seams.

    Through the valleys of time and distant shores,
    I’ll wander, seeking stories that the heart adores.
    In nature’s embrace, I find solace and grace,
    As I dance with the wind, in an eternal chase.

    The ocean’s rhythm, a symphony of the sea,
    Whispers tales of love, loss, and mystery.
    With each crashing wave, a story unfolds,
    Of ancient legends and untold secrets untold.

    In a meadow kissed by the morning dew,
    I’ll capture the essence of life anew.
    Beneath a sunlit canopy, where wildflowers sway,
    I’ll paint with words the colors of the day.

    In the quiet of night, when all is still,
    I’ll seek the depths of the soul’s tranquil thrill.
    In whispered verses, I’ll share the ache and desire,
    The joys, the sorrows that set hearts afire.

    For poetry, dear friend, is a sacred art,
    A mirror reflecting the depths of the heart.
    With words, we navigate the human experience,
    Unveiling truths with poetic brilliance.

    So let us celebrate the power of words,
    In sonnets, ballads, and songs of the birds.
    For in the tapestry of language, we find our voice,
    And through poetry, our souls rejoice.

  • When did you leave me?

    When did you leave me?

    Theย  clouds were saturated,
    And so were my eyes
    But you didn’t let me alone to cry
    The path was filled with thorns
    but yet you walked through it for me
    and held my tsunami of acid on your bare hands
    The bruises on your bare hands reminded me of my mere reason for existence
    Now I don’t know why I’m breathing
    Are you there?

    You would say I’m always going to be there for you
    But you don’t understand it
    You need to be there with me
    I know what you have been through because of me
    I’m one of your worsts.

    You don’t see it.
    I’m still alive without you.
    But am I really alive?
    And at times this liveliness feels like choking myself to death.

    No I don’t want you back.
    Once gone, returns no old.
    But I want to know.
    When did you leave?
    I was waiting there under the flickering lights over the graveyard of my hope.
    And I didn’t find your arms around me anymore.

  • Life: a tough journey

    I don’t smile these days,
    I don’t even cry,
    I just feel numb,
    My chest feels heavy,
    My mind is clouded by all sort of negative thoughts,

    And all I want right now is a break,
    I want to run somewhere far away,
    And don’t want to come back until,
    I feel happier.๐Ÿ™‚

  • Funda of Life

    Funda of Life

    Life is not easy,
    It will make you little fussy
    But do remember one thing,
    All you have to do is stand still like a tree
    And all your dreams would be filled and you will be free,
    This funda will make you happy…

  • Here and There

    Here and There

    The man sits at the window sill in the morning
    As the early dew on the grass slightly shakes
    A different man bleeds out crimson petals on the wasteland
    When the chilling darkness retreats as dawn breaks.

    The woman readies herself for the daily course of life
    As she lifts her books to embark on a journey to learn
    A different woman thwarted by the frontlines due to her body
    Mourns and protests for the people sent off to burn.

    The bird chirps and sings its morning melodies
    As the trees lift their heads to greet the gentle sun
    The crow tears and plucks from the decaying clutter
    While the fiery grass takes the scarlet gift waiting for none.

    The calm, the strife, two sides of the same coin
    The greed, the sorrow, letting mankind waste away
    As we write of the world known and unknown
    Lamenting the day when all the dues we must come to pay.

  • Splinter

    Time shall pass
    Slow and steady,
    While I bleed
    Until I’m ready.
    There is a splinter,
    It pierces my heart;
    With each passing moment,
    It turns soft
    And before I know it,
    It will be lost.
    In its place,
    Shall a rose bloom,
    So lusty yet so pure,
    Pure enough to stab the gloom.
    Pure like the tear I shed
    And soaked red with the blood I bled.
    I was at home,
    I have strayed afar now.
    I have found it once,
    It will find me now.
    Roses have petals,
    Roses have thorns.
    For if there are springs
    There ought to be some storms.
    It’s now your call.
    Roses with thorns,
    Or no rose at all?

  • The New Sun

    Walking all up the stairs
    right through the hills
    Where does he go
    when I
    roll my eyes
    and those flashing bees
    start dancing ?

    I fail to watch the path
    those red eyes
    like ashes of
    burnt flies
    tricks me
    ever – forever .

    It frowns dusk
    when he asks
    questions
    tired and happy
    so , I ask him
    questions
    that I ask him
    at every dawn .

    He never talks much
    or , does he ?
    may not I be
    that one
    with no ear to hear
    the countdown
    of days
    those are ceasing to be .

    His wet bloody pulms
    and that old red bag
    full of dust
    he brings what down
    for troubles to lurk
    as light kisses
    and so the dark .

    He is weird , he is mad
    and
    his madness
    its flesh and bone
    like a clock
    like a clay
    making a way
    of its own

    I am ill , I am sick
    death paddles near me
    but
    He must live
    He must see
    The new sun
    he is planning to be .

  • Eyes

    Whose eyes were those
    the eyes that I had
    the eyes what she loved
    and taught
    How one to see
    and what not ?

    The sky as I saw
    the stars , the ocean and love
    my ears , a little near
    how near
    to the silence of her ?

    And when she left
    what she thought
    The portraits she borrowed or,
    they eyes she got ?

    These blindness , whose then?
    Whom shall I charge ?
    is is it I
    or
    the sky, the ocean and love ?

    A witch I saw , at evening
    sunday on ;
    as the tram that was last , left us
    It’s ring , horn , torn
    tickets fly , loose around the sky
    hooked me down , a clown in town
    to her , lure , blur .

    Her eyes , wet and dry
    to cry or not to cry
    try , did I try
    to tell her
    that I
    with one eye
    could only see her
    one and once ?

  • Reality of world

    In a world of kaleidoscopic dreams,
    Where reality’s tapestry teems,
    I weave a poetic tapestry, bold,
    Unveiling truths that must be told.

    Behold the stage, this grand charade,
    Where masks conceal the masquerade,
    Illusions dance upon a veil,
    As truth and falsehood intertrail.

    In realms of shadows, truths abide,
    Yet oftentimes, they seek to hide,
    The world spins tales, both light and dark,
    A symphony of whispers, hushed remark.

    Eyes closed, we drift in slumber’s hold,
    Blind to the stories yet untold,
    But open wide those seeking souls,
    Shall glimpse the truth that silently unfolds.

    A veil of beauty, both cruel and kind,
    Reality’s web we all must bind,
    For within each soul, a universe resides,
    Where hopes and fears entwine like tides.

    Mighty empires rise and fall,
    Yet the heartbeat echoes through it all,
    For humanity, a resilient spark,
    Navigating through the realms of dark.

    In shattered fragments, unity thrives,
    From disparate threads, connection derives,
    For when we recognize our shared plight,
    We forge a future, bathed in light.

    This world, a canvas vast and wide,
    Painted with strokes of joy and pride,
    But also etched with sorrow’s hue,
    A testament to what we all go through.

    So let us walk this earth, awake and aware,
    With empathy, compassion, and love to share,
    For reality’s song, though bittersweet,
    Is a symphony that makes life complete.

  • Life

    With this sea and ocean
    Comes the mighty flow
    Making us sweeping away
    Every hook,nook and shook

    That’s how our life
    Comes a phase
    Where we swept away
    All our loved
    Only to stick with
    Every hook and corners of this mighty world.

  • Poem on rainy season

    In the embrace of gray and cloudy skies,
    Nature weeps and sighs, a tranquil disguise.
    The heavens open, a symphony starts,
    Raindrops descend, like gentle, soothing darts.

    A dance of droplets, on leaves they alight,
    A rhythmic patter, brings the world to life.
    The thirsty earth, with gratitude, receives,
    Each precious drop, a blessing it perceives.

    Fields turn emerald, a vibrant hue,
    As rain paints the canvas, anew.
    Petrichor whispers, a fragrant delight,
    Bathing the senses, in the darkest night.

    Umbrellas unfurl, a colorful parade,
    Laughter and mirth, in the cascading cascade.
    Children in puddles, gleefully they splash,
    Unbridled joy, in every puddle’s crash.

    The symphony plays, on rooftops and streets,
    Melodies of raindrops, the heart truly beats.
    A lullaby for dreamers, a balm for the soul,
    Rain’s gentle touch, makes us feel whole.

    The world, refreshed, beneath the rainy veil,
    A tranquil rhythm, where worries pale.
    As droplets fall, worries wash away,
    Peace and serenity, come out to play.

    So let us embrace, the rainy season’s grace,
    Find solace in its tears, upon our face.
    For within the rain, life’s beauty does reside,
    A gentle reminder, that love cannot hide.
