ANGER

Sometimes it makes me angry seeing how much pain and suffering this world has. We are given one life and yet we can’t live it on our terms, happily and at peace, with everything we ever wanted. Why so much suffering, Unjust Death Illness Depression Heartbreak Trauma Stress War Why should we go through so much misery to live one single life? What did that girl do wrong to be raped by 25…

COFFEE BREATH

Cold coffee a bag full of books and markers and diary and flowers Summer dress with a scarf and white sneakers Laying under the tree with a blanket and a plate full of croissants and sandwiches Reading a book under the magic of an endless blue sky Not a soul in sight just me with my fictional love interest and thoughts and hopes and dreams Singing a tune that’s been stuck inside…

LIFE AFTER DEATH

Do me a favour. When I die, don’t let my existence be history. When I die, don’t let my plans be a mystery. When I die, don’t let my dreams be lost. When I die, don’t let my heart be stopped. Do me a favour. Visit the places I wanted to and let me see them through your eyes. Look for my diary And let me add one last chapter. Get the books I wanted and let me read them through your…

FAR AWAY

I wasn’t okay for a long time I’m still not okay sometimes I had me But I really didn’t have me You weren’t there Were you? I am here But I’m really not here My mind and soul are somewhere else Just the body remains stuck in a vicious cycle of life of stereotypes of ridiculous societies and catastrophic realities Somewhere far away from here You’ll find…

LIVE A LITTLE

Come on ‘Live a little’ People often use this phrase when someone isn’t doing something that’s “supposed” to be fun. What’s fun for you? Drinking? Dancing to obnoxiously loud noise that’s called music these days? Making fun of your less fortunate friends? Not playing it safe and doing drugs? For not being your type of cool? Losing your virginity just because everyone’s doing it? Come on…

COME BACK

Come. Come back to me. To a life full of adventures. To a life full of hope. To a life full of love. Let’s go to your favourite bookstores and spend all day reading and writing and enacting and brainstorming. Let’s go to a museum and look, make fun and get inspired by the art and culture. Let’s go to an old library and sit between bookshelves with old and wrinkled books full of lost…

WALK WITH ME

Walk with me.Walk with me in thedarkest of nights.With soft winds blowing away thefallen leaves.With the scent of the last rainstill in the air.With empty streets andquiet feet. Walk with me.With an umbrella over our heads andsweet hot coffees in hand.With warmth in our hearts andlove on our mind. Walk with me.With no destination in mind.Just you and me.And eternity left behind.

Meet me where we can be together again.Where I can know you again,Love you again,Touch you again,Kiss you again. Where you love me more than you love her.Where you dream of me and not her. Where you’re mine and I’m yours.Where your dreams can be mine too. See me.Choose…

ALIVE AND STRONG

It has been a while since I did a rant mood, so I thought how about I start by saying just how grateful I am to be here. I am breathing, I am healthy, I am safe, I am alive. And I think that’s enough for now, seeing as a lot of people are dying every day and we don’t even know the half of it. This year has been a roller coaster. I’ve been down then up then down then up again. Some days I’ve had…

2020

Things 2020 taught me:- 1. Sometimes it’s important to be alone. It’ll give you perspective and peace. 2. Nothing’s permanent. People will leave. And they will take away a piece of your heart. 3. It’s okay to be an introvert. It’s not a symbol of weakness. Life will eventually mould you and make you stronger and bolder. 4. It’s okay to not do anything for a while. Good things will happen at…

BEWITCHED

Came to me like rain.

Slowly.

And then all at once.

Brought dark clouds

full of possibilities.

And secrets.

And disaster.

With ardent love,

and bewitched soul,

Wrecked my mind

and body whole.

Pulled me in with an invisible force.

Made my mind fuzzy.

and insides squirm.

You have bewitched me, body and soul.

Does anyone say these words anymore?

SERENE

I want to sit by the water and enjoy life. Breathe in the cool breeze. Gaze at the sunset. Re-read my favourite book. Organize my thoughts. Write a new piece. Play my cello playlist in the background. Be in the moment and not take a step back.

I want to sit by the water and enjoy life. Learn from my mistakes and make new ones. Miss the people that I’ve lost but not want them back. Be more out there and not…

MORNING, LOVE

Sun- kissed mornings.

Tangled sheets.

Coffee brewing.

Hands caressing.

You stayed the night.

And kissed me good morning.

You held me close.

And didn’t let go.

Chose me. Loved me.

And didn’t let go.

Made me yours.

And gave me you.

Whispered sweet nothings.

Gave me soft laughs.

Revealed deep secrets.

Opened up scars.

Warm mornings.

Crumpled sheets.

People often ask me after reading my poems whether someone broke my heart or why am I so sad and depressed. Sometimes I say it’s just a thing that I wrote and not experienced, sometimes I just shrug and not say anything. You will never know what’s real and what’s imaginary. A writer never reveals his/ her secrets. Why would they? They’ve already said too much, why give others the satisfaction of…

TALK ABOUT IT

You know that sinking feeling you get in your chest out of nowhere? Making you feel bad about everything and sucking you towards a dark place?

I hate it. I’m sitting comfortably, chilling and then out of nowhere, BOOM! I’m not chill anymore. There was a time when this was a common occurrence. I was so used to it that I started believing that this was a part of me now and I won’t ever be able…
