YOUR POEM
How do I compare you to the summer breeze? The most beautiful eyes I’ve ever seen and these Lips itching to speak but somehow appease To quiver patiently and give into the unknown Pleased is the soul when it is truly all alone Chains of bondage and broken love set in stone Like a lighted Continue reading

THIS MEANS WAR
The bugle has sounded, the treaty is signed Remnants of the past and future combined Screaming from the gallows of yesterday The deep, hallowed wounds will always stay You’ve defeated them all but do you know why You cant see the man in the mirror in the eye? They are not whom you set out Continue reading

FAREWELL TO OUR INDIAN GLORY
Farewell to all our Indian glory, Farewell to all our Indian fame, So famed in combative story, Farewell even to the Indian name. Now blood runs over its green hills And spills over towards the ocean Religion is one among its many ills A package of scoundrels in a nation. When torture and death didnt Continue reading

WOES OF THE SOUL
Confesses the soul bedevilled with your fingertips Whispers in your ears, “Set me free,” Fills to the brim with pride along those dewy lips Forces you to open your eyes and see A heart which used to beat once but is now eclipsed By a timeless door which never had a key. It derides attention Continue reading

Blissful soul, Not an illusion, Not after what we did Delusion, In time. Beating hearts, Escaping from permanence, Miles from reality but verging Perpetuation, After life. Telling lies, Striding after activity, Never peaceful and killing me Calm, Truthful hurt. Loving you, Chose to walk, Chose hurt over love anyway, Haunting, Terrifying nights. Grudging mind, Making Continue reading

If I Could Tell You
The story I shall tell you is one of defeat, And of times I struggled to find my feet. I’ve gone against all odds and met them head-on, But when I woke up my dream was gone. The result is shocking but it’s nothing new, It would be so much easier if I could tell Continue reading

TRY
You have failed enough times, you’ve got up more Withstanding the rain, you’re drenched to the core You have learnt that your caged soul has no home You remember that they took a century to build Rome The flag is well down, your heart has lost its way And now that everything seems so dull Continue reading

AN ABHORRENT IDEA
Pushing her books and hair out-of-the-way, Advancing like it was just another day, She looks up to see the clouds of despair meet, Looks down to her soul that she can never cheat. A harrowing existence brought to life by hate, But there’s no way that she can escape her fate, It’s written in the Continue reading
