Black Ocean

Suspended in motion,I am floating but not moving…My limbs wake up to life byA gentle tug of the oceanMy fingers extend for a familiar touch of the wombBut the precipice of the abyss is all they combLike a statue awakening from a deep slumber,I gain my consciousness and look under A pit of darkness,More a […]

Just An Edge Away

When it feels like the world is closing in on me, Gripping my arms, Choking my neck and Suffocating me inside a numb cocoon… I step out of my room Climb to the terrace And emerge into the vast horizon Of trees and buildings Cooing of birds and the giggles of children Utensils clanking and […]

Living, Loving and Hate

What is love?Is it something you fight for?Is it something born out of loneliness?Is it something that just occurs?Or is it something you develop with tenderness and care? Be what It may…Why is it complicated?Why does it hurt?Why does it cause pain?Why does it betray? Why can’t it just be happy?Why can’t it be a […]

Yet Again

Yet again,I’ve become a fool Yet again,I’ve offered myself to get hurt Yet again,I haven’t learnt my lesson Yet again,I have made a mistake A mistake of trusting youA mistake of believing youA mistake of finding comfort in you It takes so little for me to fall for you,No matter the painNo matter the betrayalNo […]

Nor will You, Nor will I

It’s sort of cruel how we hold our experiences to someone, that the very sense of breaking its fragility causes so much angst and fear. I say we break it, and shatter it for what we have is not held together by constructs. It is beyond that, it is forever, transcendental. Never will it fade,  […]

Past 3:45

For months,I waitedWith passion and eager,Looking forward to the days I could be sincere Your problems had become mine,Mine had become yoursYour hardships were my hardships,And mine yoursCaring for you had become my only purposeSynthesising a bond that romantics might discuss A short stick was pulled,A few words were told,I falsely understoodAnd you brought the […]

Subtle Toxicity

How does it feel to have the world revolve around you?How does it feel to have everyone like you?How does it feel to be the center of attention?How does it feel to be surrounded by people when you thought you’ll be alone forever? How does it feel to have stolen all this from me? Oh […]

Recover

It is true, old habits die Hard.It is especially more difficult when these habits had become the norm.We would talk for hours with each other,Think about us for days,Sharing any silly detail made us happy,At least it made me happy.Your stupid door handle,My annoyance with certain people.I don’t know if we had become one, although […]
