The hour approaches— That unruly moment I am deprived peaceful slumber, I am denied access to a utopia of my making, Subconsciously— Like ants drawn to sugar, Sorrow and its torment draws nigh to a black spot—me! They creep up my bed, up my legs and defile me ruthlessly, I scream—I am voiceless I r...Read more

Time—a stream suspended in a loop, Its waters cascading through rocks, Beating into me lessons I paid no fees for, Time—a prison for flesh and bones. A currency which cannot be exchanged, A paper note, not easily traded. Great minds device ways to trick the partial warden, Many they are who tried, m...Read more

A flash of green the setting sun beget The unforgiving waters sings a lullaby to their fiery king Atop it's menacing waves, stands she—tamer of seas—The Witching Dauntless She, who was said, first to sail untracked waters She, who stood in a locked contest with the goddess—Calypso It was said— Seven...Read more

If only the wind could take away my worries as she slams against my feeble frame. I would be most grateful to let her in, through my doors and windows....Read more

I am deluded. I know life isn't a fairytale, but I want mine to be. I saw the cutest couple I've ever known—on a sitcom. Together since college, together since '96 Amidst fights, quarrels, and misunderstandings, They stuck it out till they said their vows. Growing together, forgiving each other, lov...Read more

Why are my default emotions sadness and worry? Why is the price for Happiness so damn expensive? I just need a day! Spare me a day for just a coin! That's all I have! That's all I ask for!...Read more

The easing of the heart is found in the little things, In the seemingly, inconsequential little things, Little things I long for each waking morning, Little things, with you, I have always sought. Little things, like dragging the brush through your hair, with your enchanting grace reflecting on spa...Read more

Heartache sears deeper than any blade The grieving of the heart, hurts more than mortal wounds The silent screams- a prayer to death A prayer to ease, this grip of torment A plea to loosen the noose of sorrow But it never stops, And I tremble in fear that it never will, 'cause even in death, my hea...Read more

With an exhale, she releases translucently shimmering souls of life Like bullets, they fall from her down to the ground in hundreds Hundreds? No, Billions!!! They resuscitate the trees, the grasses, the ocean and my being Though her coming sometimes spells terror and wrath To me, her coming i...Read more

When the howling of the wind intensifies The hairs on my skin stand alert My heartbeat doubles The adrenaline pumps harder and my scowl turns into a smile I know what is coming, I know that which approaches, having the wind as it's herald. The trees wave, welcoming the wind as they also antic...Read more

When I'm having these episodes When my heart experiences syncopation When I find solace in my imagination I hear her whispers, from my heart to my ears And like one slaved to enchantment, I pen down her words I just can't stop...Read more

These feelings... I thought I had buried them deep in the tomb of my heart. I thought my smile wouldn't mask my pain no more. I thought I'd let go, but no, I really haven't. I'm such a fool! A delusional one. I should've never let my heart play on me the cheapest trick in the book....Read more

Life is a poet She pens on a Canvas - a mirror of herself She pens with a quill laced with Odyssey With the Ink of time, she navigates On a journey, she leads us on Each experience stirring a thrill for adventure Each path she shows holds a discovery You'd be surprised what's obscured in ...Read more

the words come to me no longer why? I wonder I plead, I ask, I call still, an answer I receive not. what wrong have I done?...Read more
