Perseverance and stubbornness have a fine line of disparity. Its judged by how successful you are.

I wish you somehow read them
cozying up in your bed and thinking how immense my love is,
I cling to the hope that you are stalking me and are too afraid to admit you do.
Every poem I write for you,
has a spill of your memories and my feelings entwined in the dark mess of my
pen ink and saline water my eyes drip.
They are all the words I could never muster up to tell you but I somehow wished you knew.
Every poem I write for you, is nothing but the sagas of love I wrote, that I didn't know how to stand tall and speak before you.

"Even fear demands love to materialize."




I have realized I am the strongest infront of people I am unsure about, but the most humane and someone who is afraid of alot of things infront of people I love. To show fear, you have to feel comfortable around someone and not be afraid of them taking advantage of your insecurities.

You can't make grief pass sooner, it'll take its time. You can only be patient with it.

Kitabon ki duniya

In pensieve made of paper,
they have woven lives.
I attribute these soulless monotonous
prints on stacks of bound paper for
keeping me alive.

Sequestered I live,
but a thousand lives I have lived,
conjured by the alphabetical incantations
of the far-away sorcerer and the puissant witch.

Unfrequented portals on wooden racks,
incite passionate desires to escape someday,
but amid capitalist hiatuses,
I resort to these ethereal and curious paperbacks.

My indebted heart thinks of the pioneer
who created, what once would inspire
to never give up and let you escape to a place
a million miles away and in departed years,
in the ironical comfort of your own house
and chaotic peace of your own mind.

A loyal companion since memories formed,
I find every word unworthy to sing its praises and adorn,
but with a poem of gratitude,
I hope I have justified
the bewitching spells of a Bibliophile's guide.
I truly attribute these soulless monotonous
prints on stacks of bound paper for
keeping me alive.
