“One clear moment, one of trance  One missed step, one perfect dance  One missed shot, one and only chance  Life is all...but one fleeting glance.”  ― Sanober Khan Oh there it goes fleetingly, swimmingly, gently, just another moment traveling on that speck dust on that sliver of light which you hardly noticed with our heads down and …

Mushroom

Aww! the tiny little feet stomping up and down they run through the forest as if they own this part of town   He carries a lanky stick in his hand and beats the bushes aloud climb and jumps anywhere and waves his leafy flag around   Roaring and beating the bush to make way …

The Wall

“Stab the body and it heals, but injure the heart and the wound lasts a lifetime.” ― Mineko Iwasaki I'm pushing and shoving hoping it would fall it should crumble any moment I have to weaken its resolve it cannot surround me anymore it cannot fight me out long I'm done being pushed into a corner waiting …

I smell blood in the water I see sharks all around me heartbroken, downtrodden wandering in search of you finding a way out of this labyrinth the hope keeps burning and the flickering flame never meets its death I'm crossing mountains getting drenched in rivers half drowned, gasping for breath with a parched soul and knees …

Hollow

Why do we feel empty inside? Why do we feel hollow inside? stripped of our emotions  why do we feel numb inside when the emotions are raging  anger and pain are roaring and all the feelings are screaming and squealing as hard as they can.   Why do we feel hollow inside? When there is a …

Reflection

How many times have you been mistaken for someone else in a crowd or when you are missing someone so dearly that you are constantly looking for bits of him in other people.I guess " The out of sight, out of mind" analogy doesn't work for the people who are longing for their lost ones.Love always leaves a deep impression on your soul, which is hard to forget. Love reflects in mysterious ways.

Oasis

I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where. I love you straightforwardly, without complexities or pride so I love you because I know no other way than this where I does not exist, nor you so close that your hand on my chest is my hand, so close that your eyes close …

Dance of distruction

“to love is to destroy, and that to be loved is to be the one destroyed.”  ― Cassandra Clare, City of Bones     Squelched dreams and broken hopes lying in the  shriveled hopes of the tomorrow silhouetted against the obsidian skies of my dead and murky dreams I wear in my large kohl-lined eyes so they lit up the  dark …

Voice

Tea leaves

They say you can find  your destiny in the tea leaves sticking at the bottom of the cup encircling and leaving patterns  easy to deciphered and  encoded making the patterns  that zig-zag mesh resembling the events in your life Marking your ups and downs  and earmarking all the important events which make them truly shine It's an …

Vagabond

A weary traveler a vagabond, a man with a  heart of a gypsy  and etched  with a bohemian soul   I wandered  nooks and corners of the world flaunting my fears and anxiety to someone anyone who would just sit next to me and spend those  flickering golden  moments of time to melt and cover  …
