Vintage love
There he was stroking her every tight curls of hair round his fingers with every sip of his tea As she lay on his lap babbling her daily adventures On the same spot and exactly at the same time everyday since the day he married her From getting the kids ready to school to teaching…
Camp fire
It was a lovely night….The stars lighted up the multicolored darkness. Or maybe it was the occasion that made it so special Laughter that echoed through the forest. A couple of friends by the campfire side Singing and chattering to beat of silence Sipping the beer and recollecting the lost album of memories Teasing each…
Hush of the Eerie Shadow
I hardly ever go to sleep but I keep waking up in weird places I have no memory of being. The last few days I found myself in my neighbors garden shed, in the kitchen, on the streets, in the park and even at a graveyard in the middle of night. This is seriously getting…
Weighed down
The little bird was not a sole to dear away from a trouble All he wanted to do was spread his wings in the winds of his own handwork To fly with the winds and never turn back Every day he looked up at the calling horizon Wondering and dreaming what the world will be…
Milestones

Midnight Diaries
Dear sole mate, I look at the moon and somewhere I wonder if you are looking at it too and thinking about me. I have had long affairs with the moon these days. I know I have not heard your voice but I have had one sided conversations with you for years hoping that you…
Young and Broke
The irony Watching your food get cold As your crave the plate of someone else Aren’t we all delusional Exceptions upon expectations One dream after an another One chase after the other Do we live to cherish this saturation point of accomplishment Or are we all robots in fresh and bone That were taught to…
Million Traumas
Reality is the biggest b@#tch All her life she was the outsider,out casted race, a werido, a strange girl That failed to fit into the sterotype boxes the world forced her to be in Yet she navigated through the ups and downs From being last to be picked in groups The one that people fail…
Healing
You speak like a man who has seen the darkest demons Hahha dear brother most of us are too broken to mend Too lost be understood Too scared between living and dead Never quite in the right choices Yet I am anchored to these verses Like a incomplete circuit Sometimes hope finds a way Between…
Question Mark
I look into a mirror and I see a stranger staring back at me What happened to me I wonder I see my metamorphosis But only backwards Maybe it’s the fear Or the double standard doubts left unanswered At the far Island of I don’t know Comes the tsunami of truth Wiping away the innocence…
The Road Not Taken
This painting of mine for this week’s blog is inspired by this amazing poem written by Robert Frost. Even till this date this will always remain one of my favorite poem. I remember reading it in my high school. I got goose bumps. I had this secret fantasy of painting this. I simply love…
Ocean
Let the light house path your way so that you can be bewildered by her sent of magic every time you look into her eyes you will be tempted to fall deeper and deeper into her dangerous waters She is a turbulent wave on the surface crashing with anger and frustration scaring away her enemies…
Aisle
Smash! The window rattled in fear, the wind howled, and the bolted door flung open. Rain poured in through the side of the screen, drenching the side of mattress inside my room along with the carpet. I will never forget the fierce storm that invaded my peaceful sleep last night. I was wide awake looking…
Meraki
A scented desire that fades with time Rippled existence that merely lives Devil that forgot the ways of evil A shore that never saw a tide coming Ocean that dared to meet a horizon A chapter that was never read Lives in a book that should never be written By the hands that didn’t how…
The Beast
Welcome to the masquerade Of a flawed living Of the devil living inside Fighting for its innocence That the world forcefully stripped it from A lie that doubted the truth Made him wonder Of the few that knew him But yet abandoned him at his lowest As he fought through hell Only to return as…

Nangeli-Abolishment of breast tax

Stigma
Sorry for not responding no more She don’t care about anything Reached a dangerous saturation point A sole that decayed inside Being every one’s rock She forgot to be her own With a smile she greeted her troubles Lent a ear to the needed Became a voice of the unheard She was a ray of…
The Fall
Some truth some lies A distant fragrance Just like the colors of the season Shades of red,orange and browns Like that she has different canopy of bruises In the kingdom of her body Plastered by her dear husband’s abuse He changed he says every time With a sorry he ends But this habits don’t change…
Miss or Mrs
She… Today I lost control. Every thing I kept buried inside rushed to the surface. I saw him again after 9 years. Over the years I learnt the art of fooling people with a smile as a proof that every thing was ok so one knew the reason. I could never be more wrong. I…

Full Stop
I am done Trying to give my best Against the odds To see my future goals Burring in forest of unexplainable reasons I didn’t even get the chance of second saying in all this The door to opportunities is locked safe from my gaze The saplings of my hard work have dried To yeild nothing…

Trust Issues
I am lonely in a crowed room Cried the heart Brain kept saying A friend to all is a friend to none But only a friend to his need. Blinded by his greed In situations accustomed to his ways When a player plays his game Creamed with lies On a plate that was never served…
Dad and Periods?
A sweet loving story of a daughter and father’s bond. A story that every man or father should read.
Silent Plague=Depression
A silent culprit of the victims of reality. A cruel unknown punishment of the four chambers of thought. No rash, no fever, no blood tests to scurry people in concern, just a slow acidic erosion on oneself, as insidious cancer, a solidarity experience in a room with your name on it. Its a disease feeding…
The Ectoparasites
When a writer asks two sets of opposite species of mankind what is love…. All the couples- Kuch kuch hota hai. (Something something happens…) All the singles- Kuch nahi hota hai. (Nothing happens.) All the couples- Oh God another hypocrite who can’t find love. Typical over action All the singles- At least we don’t fuck…

Modern Man
I guess we are all living in the different levels of “Ok”. The path ahead is a deserted, lonely and troubled. These feelings are not just mine, yours but the entire modern men of 21th century feel this way.. The complexity of human minds astounds me beyond reasons of thought. Ridiculed in this puzzled riddle…
Frustrated
Written from the dark corner of my heart….. Sometimes I feel like curling up into a ball of cells and go back into the cocoon egg I was impregnated in. The world seems so crowded with the deeds of greed, selfish and the thirst for money seems unquenchable. As I open every forbidden door in…
Mother’s Wise Words

Picked on
These pages full of thoughts somehow grew up with me as the years turned pages of my life. Made me stronger at the thought but still why does it hurt when my thinking pen rewrites it again and again on the paper of mind. These sheets have overflowed with pain and tears but why do…
Guarded Emotions
These flowing emotions that I hide threaten my peace of mind and somehow find there way seeping into words on this paper. Written in pain and in a dark place of thought. “I destroyed everything that’s good for me.”I’m stuck in a spiral of clouds that hover all around me; inching close and tightening. Crumbling…
Modern Santa
A wasted Santa High on pot Broke on cheap love Torn by traditions Living on the beer cans Jobless and hopeless The phrase oh oh oh Replaced by swear words Which I could not write The chimneies replaced with electric heaters So are the pine trees with plastic artifact And so is the family time…
Gospel of truth
A savage reality Of a riddled honestly Betrays the expectations A sadist door Slammed against the face On the wounds that shall never heal When you least expect it So shall you too pass this phase With regret and acceptance One after the other Like a combo buy one get one free offer Little did…
