• A Problem to Every Solution

  ‘Solution’ when it means; to solveNeeds to go obsolete.Wasn’t language meant to beA means to communicate,To explain and articulate,Whatever it is that we feel? We kept on inventingWords over wordsIn the pursuit of sayingWhat this aching heart feltAnd what the senses sensed,Or the thoughts so clear,You could see right through themOr the hazy dream now…

• Would you Believe You?

  Would you believe You If You told youThat You were happy. If You walked up to you one day,Like you toddle up to a friend or a stranger And said straight to your face: I am happy I am satisfied I have passionsAnd desires Would you believe that?You telling youThat the boy You lovesTruly cares…

• How to Trust?

  He, the love of my life,Said to me the other night,‘You do find other men attractive, right?’ ‘Like you might desire other women?’I asked a question in return.‘Yes,’ he smiled, ‘we all have our demons.’ But I told him no and he was baffled.Was something wrong with me?My feathers were ruffled. I pondered and realized:‘They…

• Random Poem

  Random Poem (28–09–2020) I hate life, as all my friends will tell you, my lover will vouch for it so and my family has an inkling too. But it is the mundaneness of it, that I hate. This never-ending monotony, that even when it breaks, resorts to its routine of innumerable centuries That is what I find exhausting,and tiring and burdensome.This nothingness,…

• Betrayal of the Betrayed

  Some days, the life stands at a still. The sun slowly melts into the coldness of night. One scene shifts into another and nothing happens. You were melancholic at point A and you stay that at point B. You just keep looking at the time changing — indifferent to its passage. It can start moving…

• The Performers and the Audience

  

  Before I had even started writing what I am about to say, I had already judged it several times in my mind and found it to be of little value. I write this because the thought was resilient enough to keep pestering me. Ignoring your thoughts, I had observed, can be quite impossible, no matter…

• The Change in your Expression

  It is your journey, I just want to see you, With no presumptions, just really really you. When you are unaware of being observed You are neither frank nor reserved. On one side, I want to tilt my head And see your cheeks going red As I whisper in your ears, ‘I love you’ in…

• A Price to Pay

  Note: SPOILER ALERT for The Stranger, Slaughterhouse-Five, Rumplestiltskin and The Bell Jar You see a flawed system for so long you become comfortable with it. You accept the life you are given. You even stop pointing out what is wrong and unjust. You lose hope. You borrow Vonnegut’s philosophy of, ‘so it goes’ and respond…

• Some Days are Just Dark

  And it keeps coming back to it This unfathomable darkness inside It keeps surfacing, time and again Nothing is right, we are all insane. Who can be happy ever? Not someone with a brain! Any reality thrown your way Take it but with a salt’s grain Why can’t we just freeze in a moment And…
