I am fine, everything is fine oh, I am doing great No, it’s been amazing ! – all lies, lies that sell too easy, because the world- too busy to spot the lines, beneath those eyes the dried trail of tears besides the lips, curved in a fake smile because the world- too busy in […]

sunsets
As I sit here, the waves touching my feet, a kiss on the skin, then a retreat; Looking at the orange canvas I recall how my mother always told me not to click sunsets, whenever I showed her a sunset picture, she would go on and on about how she always believed and felt often […]
the park bench
She was in the park by seven anxiously waiting, hoping he would come early today, looking at the corner bench – their usual seat worried, would it be easy to leave all this behind and run away to a faraway world away from the memories that clawed to her heart, run away to somewhere they […]
solace in specters
Sometimes on my way homeI take a detourand visit the haunted house of our memories;I try to spot the specterof a love that we once shared, unable to pick and removethorns from the nightmares that still visit me some nights,even after failed attempts of uninviting them,of un-wishing them;The haunted house is painted black,and the door […]
A façade
It’s all a façade that we put up, trying to hide the turmoil of thoughts and feelings, as shards of nightmares -of what once were our dreams crush us from inside tearing away our existence with each thrust, gnawing away our sanity, one thread at a time; It’s all a façade that we put up, […]

या फिर डरते हो
तुम ये छोटी सी हार होते ही लड़ना क्यों बंद कर देते हो ये दो कदम पीछे जाने पर आगे बढ़ना क्यों बंद कर देते हो, तुम यूं अपनी परछाई को ख़ुद पर हावी क्यों होने देते हो या फिर डरते हो – के कहीं ये साथ ना छोड़ दे, रोशनी मिल जाने पर? तुम ये […]
Rainbow
when clouds hover above replicating the chaos inside, when the breeze is turbulent daring you to fly high, when the soil is damp resembling those moist eyes, when the fields are green hiding in them complexities of existence, when the skies pour challenging your might, when the sun manages to shine through unafraid of the […]
In my heart
I hold you in my heart -as if a cloud stretching itself beyond boundaries shields the moon from evil eyes; burning in the sun, hiking airy heights repeatedly losing its form -failed attempts of rising to skies, only – to touch thy shine; longing – for your embrace to soothe this madness ending up grabbing […]
