LEAVING THE NEST 🪹 🕊️

There're days when she barely breathes between the heaven and the fading embers.
There're days when it isn't dopamine rather adrenaline rushing through her veins.
Stories buried in her belly, tongue tied as she tosses & turns all night.
Seldom she stares at the grey skyline, thinking of all the good old times
With broken smile , heavy head , puffy eyes, she tries hard to plot her life tonight.


Well yes! She has left her nest and now is a long stay tourist in the new town.
''Trust your wings, soar high up in the sky , Go thrive while you're alive!
How long will you seek refuge and rest in this small, shallow nest ? ''
whispered the mum with tears welled up in her eyes.
No wonder, the sky above did seem unknown and the breeze below blew wild
Yet , with undying dreams & wide wings the brave one launched into the limitless sky .

JUST ANOTHER RAINY DAY !?

All I can see is a bolt of lightning.

All I can hear is a clap of thunder.

Dark clouds, empty roads ,still my mind meanders

Wondering if it's just a whirlwind of dust or that of our uncontrolled emotions??

PERFECT IMPERFECTIONS✨

With eyes wide open ,
Don't You stare at the ceiling trying hard to conceal all your feelings ?
Don't you fight back your tears just to make sure that nobody hears ?
Well I guess, it's the monsters in your mind eating you up all alive.
For it constantly interrogates your identity,seeks assurance for your appearance,
Visualises your not so superb sights and frivolous fights with else's edited highlights.
Oh dear just think no more & console your sobbing soul subdued with endless emotions.
For the real beauty resides inside akin to the priceless pearl buried at the bottom of the ocean. 🌼

Remember, the moon dares to sit in the dark sky all alone on its own .
No denial, it's far from full &full of dusty craters yet has got no haters
For it sidelines its scars & chooses to shine bright thru the dark night .
So my dear dove ,
Embrace your imperfections and fly but not in the pursuit of perfection.
For every inch of your imperfection is breathtakingly beautiful.
Beautiful enough for the eyes that crave to peep in your soul ;
Beautiful enough for the heart that craves for you to be his / her home.💫

A KNIFE IN THE BACK 🥀

Ever tried feeling the most demanded 5 letter, 1 word i.e Trust ?
Isn't akin putting down the protective shield of one's own heart ?
Isn't akin allowing the deep- seated scars to be seen ?
Isn't akin allowing the so far untold tales to be taped ?
Isn't akin whispering the unshared stories softly in one's ears ? 🍂

But, wait ! wait! Watch out!
For all - over I see red river running wide and deep .
Is that your back which got stabbed when you turned back?
Well, I guess !
The damage's done, bridge's burnt , lessons learnt
Yes , the price you paid is hefty for it left you feeling empty.

So is your heart still frozen with fear, pillow soaked with silent tears ?
And you fancy that trust will again fall apart like a house of card?
But dear, How about first laying a foundation so firm
And then build a bond which stands up strong & age - long ? ✨

RISE IN LOVE 💫

Well , I wonder, why people fall flat when in love?

Why not choose to be launched & lifted up when in love?

For the bond meant to last long will make you feel full ,not hollow

It will make you rise & shine, not sink & be swallowed.

So just wait & wait , the one who's in your card,

Will itself find a key to your locked heart. 🗝️

Did you ever fall from a pedestal into a pit ? Well , I did
No light in sight, I was tongue tied , screaming inside
For I heard his fainting footsteps which left me teary eyed .
While I stood still unworried to be burried , few words I heard
How can we forget you? Said the friends who rushed to my rescue .

But little did I know ,
The demons in my dream would steal all of my sleep
For they wanted to take away my breath & choke me to death.
But must I now tell you the truth beneath
For these demons were none but my mind moaning my Survival .
But at the every stroke of sunlight , I felt akin my revival.

Now, the turns I take & the trail I track won't lead me back
For I'm on a one - way street which won't ever retreat.
Whilst with arms wide open, I see someone awaiting my arrival .
Guess, it's the future longing to let my head rest upon his chest.

Well , I wonder, why people fall flat when in love?
Why not choose to be launched & lifted up when in love?
For the bond meant to last long will make you feel full ,not hollow
It will make you rise & shine, not sink & be swallowed.
So just wait & wait , the one who's in your card,
Will itself find a key to your locked heart.

A RAY OF HOPE🌈

Why die a million deaths before the death ?
Why live a lie and fake a life while being alive?
Just hang on in there and hear this out,
The day when the daylight is dim and it's bleaky blind,
The day when the rain drums down diluting your pride,
Oh! Go ahead, take a stride , find your lost light.
And Hang on ! Behold at this beautiful sight ,
Spectrum of seven shades! No less than a pure paradise .

-

To the man I loved and then lost , I ask
How does it matter if no wave could send you my way ?
How does it matter if no light could guide you to my home ?
Traces are still trapped & something is still so sacred .
Yes, tonight you do feel so far but I wonder and wonder,
Will I ever cease being your cheerleader cheering from afar ?

-

'' Lately, I have moved to a new house'' , said he blatantly.
But, I wonder
What about his home where he still freely roams ?
For I do sense someone's traces still trapped & lying intact.
Oh ! Hang on!
Is this my heart akin to his home where he still freely roams ?

Festooned with ribbon and sealed with a kiss are the lessons he gifted me,
I assume, life long companion is exactly what they'll ever mean to me.🥀
