Death
A very old poem I wrote when I was suffering from clinical depression and couldn’t see any hope ahead. They say life is not a bed of roses You say everyone goes through one But tell me, dear, for once Do you know what it is really like? To witness life as a…

The Demon Inside Me
They say everyone has a demon to fight, I have met mine. It sits between my heart and throat, I fear if it wakes up, It won’t let me move. I fear, either it would pierce my heart open or project my inner darkness on the world. Sometimes I fight, often I lose; I sit…

The Boiling Point Of Blood
Can I ask you a question? You sure can. What’s the boiling point of water? It’s 100-degree Celsius I suppose. What’s the boiling point of blood? Why do you ask such an absurd question? Well, I’ve always had my haemoglobin low. So, I wonder that’s where all my blood goes. It boils & evaporates in…

Is it a dream…..
It was a lovely day…… The Sun had already gloomed and was too tired to stand straight. Clouds intermingled to form a mesh to protect the Sun from falling down. Moist breeze bathed in Earth’s scent came forward to sway the cradle of Nature. I too was playing… with my small black locks, running…

Random thoughts-3
Everyday, you give me a reason to fight- to fight with me, to fight with you. Everyday, you make me feel like color blue. Even though I know- you are a stranger to me, to my feelings, My heart recognizes you as someone own. Even today when I am alone on the deserted roads of…

Random thoughts-2
Everyday, I come across millions of new faces But, there’s not a single one Which I love watch sleeping. Everyday, I am introduced to hundreds of new name But, there’s not a single one that makes my heart skip a beat. Everyday, I walk across thousands of people But, there’s no one who make me…

Hope will find its way…..
Days were sunny and bright Air was cool and breezy The earth covered with grass The sky was clear as glass I lived in the valley of flowers Held up by an arc called rainbow The butterflies were my allies Sweetest dreams abode my eyes One day, the sun gloomed Chilly winds replaced the breeze…
