I dream for your presence
Which was once, my Reality.
Longing… or maybe wishing.
I stand on these shores
Where I once bid you farewell.

A thousand rays of sun
Pierce the void within,
Knocking at a soul
Now cloaked in shadow—
In your absence.

Until waves of your memories
Come crashing down,
Drowning all that I am…
Drowning in all that you were.

I dream for your presence
Which lingers in my silence.
Is it hope… or illusion?
Again, I wait by the shore
Still echoing your goodbye.

A thousand golden beams
Try to mend my broken dusk,
But nothing gleams the same
Since you became
An absence with weight.

And the waves—they never tire—
Of carrying your name,
Drowning me gently again,
In all that you are…

Forever in the tide of you.

On cold ground she lay,
As the last tear left her eye,
Her life extinguished, a silent cry,
A sentence sealed in a web of lie.

Her voice, a whisper in the wind,
A truth they’d chosen not to see, for long.
Their eyes were open, yet blind,
To the world’s silent plea.

They wandered through life, vision blurred,
Finding solace in their fleeting ease.
The haunting truths remained curtailed,
Lost in comfort, lost in peace.

But when they kindled her final pyre,
It roared with a vengeful fire,
Turning raindrops into burning spires,
And clouds to choking mire.

The ash fell heavy, obscuring all,
No longer could they turn away,
As the darkness descended all around-
The moment of truth broke through.

Forced to clear the choking dust,
They wiped the veil from their eyes.
What was once obscured in deepest rust,
Now stood stark, stripped of disguise.

Her name, like many, once overlooked,
Now shone with a light that pierced the night.
Their blindness shattered, hearts denied
In that piercing moment, they felt the fight.

Upon these desolate shores,
Our collective screams resound,
Shattering rainbows
In distant, sunlight worlds afar.

Do those shards of broken glass,
Forged in the resonance of our sorrows,
Pierce the fortress walls
Of your impenetrable skins,
Crafted from layers of indifference?

The one with all the smiles
The one that made us ease with ourselves
As one Mr.Matthew perry goes
Chandler bing goes on forever.

Sometimes I wish
I can go a little near
Just so I can help
A little more.

In a windy night,
A flame shivers.
Get too far
The flame fizzles
Get too close
The flame fizzles
Amidst burnt fingers .

We all have
different lives ,lifetimes
different purposes and significances.

After ,I opened my eyes
I was made to realise
by writings written all over,that
even Big ships sink in storm,
Requirements of a bride in her groom.
I know the smell,and taste of sweet

I wasn't born ,I was picked
And was made ,into who I am,
by a little girl trudging along.
Five minutes before ,I didn't exist,
Five minutes later,I won't.

At first ,I was afraid ,
As bubbles around,
Were Made and unmade.
My screamy surroundings ,
Made me wary of the fate,
Of bigger ships,In storms.
And sigh at my fragile state.
But then ,I Remembered
The shine in her eyes
And sound of her claps
As I moved forward; I realised,
Maybe this is what I have to do.
To pass this puddle till her sight withdrew
Because,That is what paper boats do
They give little girls hope to believe.

I love storms.

All of them.

Even though

they take parts 

of me away.

They tell 

about people 

in it with me.

Some are shit scared.

Some want to survive.

Some bring along

a storm of their own

just because they are in one.

What about me?

I make peace with its eye 

and count people who left.

You once told me
that you are too impatient
to ever try write poetry.
But,When you left,
you patiently collected,
each air molecule,
I were to breathe
and inscribed on them
A magnificent pain.

You are scattered all across the world.
Only in places unknown yet,will you find your missing pieces

The molecules of air
Seeped in vacant space
As you gave a slip
From my embrace

I waited all Summer
Bared incessant rains
But,winter is in air now
I pulled my arms closer
And I hug myself
