Sands of Time
#Day 13 . Sifting through the passage of time The longings of my lonely heart Felt like centuries have passed And I’m caught guilty of a crime . I cannot fathom life without you And yet I’ve survived a decade Cherishing and reliving our memories In my mind, like a film runs through . Sitting…

In your Possession
#NaPoWriMo21 #ArtoonsInnPoetryParlour Day 8 Damn, this silly heart of mine Keeps telling me I am fine But in my mind, I know the truth You’ve been the one since my youth My heart still flutters with you near Heartbeat rising, can you hear? Possessed, Captured, call it what you may You are the hunter and…

The Conflict Within!
Who are we really? Angels disguised as Demons or considered Angels but in reality worst than Demons . Isn’t it all per se? A kind person also has their limits A cruel soul also has his weakness Life’s a mix of good and bad For every yin, there’s a yang For hatred, there’s love For…

The Muse
#NaPoWriMo21 #ArtoonsInnPoetryParlour Day 6 English Sonnet . Like the horizon, serenading the sun Like the lull of calm, before a storm Like the smile of a loser who finally won Like the raging fire, which casts a glow warm . Like the meandering stream out on its own Like the waves, creating ripples across the…

#NaPoWriMo21 #ArtoonsInnPoetryParlour Day 5 Haiku and Limerick . Amidst the vast blues Masked in truce and harmony Lay stories untold . As I search for tranquillity and peace I find myself covered all in grease What did I really expect? Lounging on the beach in my shirt checked When you have with you an impish…

What's in a Name?
She lives a life Befitting that of a Queen No worldly possessions But filled with calm and elan Her Grandpa’s pride Who fought for her name Unacceptable in their community But they still didn’t give in Like a father’s prized ornament Which isn’t easy to part Like a mother’s faith Which isn’t easy to break…

New Beginnings
Every day you waking up is a boon Marvelling at GOD’s melodious tune The privilege of witnessing another day Head bowed in surrender, I pray The chance to start anew To improvise yourself and review The things in life that you need Shouldn’t be begged for or plead Taking baby steps in this odyssey Fulfilling…

Words in between
THANK YOU! For every tear, I’ve spilt in your presence For every pain, you’ve subjected me to For every remorse, that never included a SORRY! . THANK YOU! For every little thing, you’ve taught me For every lesson, I’ve learnt along the way For every rejection, that never accompanied a SORRY! . THANK YOU! For…

The Fountainhead
Staring into an abyss, at wit’s end Searching for a tiny flicker of light Realisation dawned, for our own, we must fend Instilling faith, the day then seemed bright . What you seek is found in thy soul The speck of light that glows from within Waiting for others affirmations is like a pothole As…

Beginning and the End
A tragic ending to a beautiful beginning Like the waves yearning to be a part of the shore Like the banks of a river, together but never to meet Like the rainbow shining over the horizon like an illusion Like the sand in your closed fist slipping away Our fates entwined like a cruel joke…
