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 …

Aftertaste

In response to the Tuesday Prompt at the GodogGoCafe As we drank and gulped the last two shots of tequila burning down my throat and numbing the pain that I have to endure from this day and ever It was part celebration and part funeral for our love memoir A celebration of all the precious joyous …

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 …

Belief

Dyslexia

“We often confuse what we wish for with what is.”  ― Neil Gaiman, MirrorMask I'm suffering from the dyslexia of emotions always getting confused and bewildered when the pain crosses the boundary to get mixed with the love when my longing  for the company is oft met by your absence and a flurry of excuses for us to …

Alone

Looking at the ceiling lying on my bed I think, what makes us feel alone What makes us feel so unwanted like an outcast Is it the betrayal of the lover? or Is the faith broken by a close friend, a confrere? Is it the selfish narcissist society who wants you to sing their praises …

A golden touch

I was waiting waiting eternally for that Midas touch a touch so divine which will turn my pitiful existence into gold and will leave mesmerized and enamored But your pride and your ego and all that insults dripping from your sullen mouth bloated your manly ego turned my ephemeral self to dust.   Photo by Sharon McCutcheon on Unsplash

Soulless eyes

You are not alone here You are surrounded by million voyeur eyes looking for the next big piece of news waiting for the next viral tweet wanting to go live on Facebook to chat and comment about it You are surrounded by eyes not hands hands which can help you, support you and pull you …

Left

How much is the plight of a person being left out in a relationship? How deeply it scrapes our heart when the person you entrusted the most betrays you and leaves you when you needed them the most.Being left alone and not cared too much by the people around you, who weave your web of life, is heart-wrenching.

Trigger warning

Click clang! Tick tock! this poem is a trigger warning; you better read it with the valiant soul or else you should just stop reading The pain is too numbing and too graphic for your meek soul to bear; it is only a snapshot of the pain the tip of the ice burg I'm  ready …

Doldrums

How do you feel when the eternal wait for someone though, ends with their physical presence. But you have never felt so alone, aloof and secluded and wrapped in your thoughts, even if they are back with you. The paradox in the life continues to exist. You are food for my soul like honey for …

Broken promises

String of broken promises  and false hopes makes our story A succession of lies built on the pyre of the dead truths because you didn't keep the promise   You surrendered to the patriarchy You stirred and dissolved all the hope and love in your infected vial of anger You cannot save me again because you …

Pain- A residue

“Behind every beautiful thing, there's some kind of pain.” ― Bob Dylan Pain is a residue. Its an outcome of all the emotions, feelings, pain and anxiety. Whatever your body is feeling churned out altogether for it to cause a deep sensation. After you have been through a horrific, turmoil in your life..when you are …

Resonance

You think you have found the one.The ONE! who shares the same thought with you, who finishes your sentences, who is on the same wavelength as you are. You get entrapped in the definition of soulmates. You believe the music will play on forever, the hearts will keep swaying to the same rhythm. What if the alignment is broken..what if you stop resonating?
