I remember how you arrived. Disguised as a knight in shining armor Sans the horse ‘nd the sword But, with a deadlier weapon- Sweet deception. I remember how suddenly everything made sense, in my erstwhile scattered life. How you picked up the pieces of my broken soul And tried to fix them; Without my…
Hypocrite
You are weak. Weaker than that malnourished tramp on the street. Weaker than that sheer fabric you wore to beat off the heat. You are weak. Your best defense? Self- victimization. Offense? Running from that realisation. You are dependant But not tenacious. You hurt too much But burn away the evidence. You tell me to…
Catch flights, not feelings
“Catch flights, not feelings” You are in love with this phrase. You go around parading these words on your lips As if it were a trophy born out of your misery A medal you discovered Hidden beneath the layers of monotony One that you wish to bestow on each one around you Hoping for…
A Quest To Run Away
I wake up everyday with a smile I know I am all right, I am fine. Add a drop of intoxication and I am alive! I laugh, I thrive, I dive. Dive into the deep dark ocean Leaving all the lies behind. Embracing the insecurities, Searching for the buried ashes of those…
Shaken Beliefs
You could hold on to things that didn’t even exist; Reach for the stars and believe you had them clenched in your fist. You could sprinkle some stardust and conjure dreamers; You could write about happily ever afters and really mean it. You loved being on a quest. A quest fueled by unpredictability, an…
Castle of Dreams
I was always taught to be safe Safe in my decisions, my choices. I always had plan B’s Meticulously planned. Hell I even had C’s! Always had a puffy air bag that would open just in time to save me; Save me from Crashing into despair, Spiralling through deject, N bear hugged by…

An Open Letter
Dear Rhea, I remember holding you in my arms for the very first time; Being petrified I’d drop you. But as your tiny hand wrapped around my shaking finger, everything made sense. And I vowed to guard you with my life. To fortify you from all the hurt that’s out there, To shield you…
Angel . Demon . You .
Hurt, anger, anguish. Pain, bitterness, blame. Helpless, tired, broken. A plethora of emotions Rolled up in a sphere Here, catch! You thought it was child’s play? No darling, just life hitting you in the face. Yes. Cry those pretty blue eyes out. You’re doing just fine. Weep till you collapse. Yes. Here, catch another one!…
Validation
I knock on nameless doors Seeking validation Searching frantically for that one word of comfort One piece of advice That will shut the voices in my head. Even it’s for a second, I don’t care I just want them gone. I need affirmation that I am still the person I thought I was; My…
Secluded Haven
Alone she stands Away from the humdrum lives. A silent, recluse beauty Humming the tunes she conjured for herself. Vivacious with energy She befriends hearts with burning passions. Souls who wish to conquer dreamlands.. with inked words and a splash of colour. Creating stories and universes.. with that one perfect click; Capturing the…
A Burning Flame
His fingers traced my face like a feather on flesh. A hand touched my waist, so lightly, afraid it would break me. Another, swept away my hair and tender lips kissed my neck. It was electric. He pulled me close, soft yet swift. He had found something no one ever had. I…
Plaintive Pleasure
I never meant to fall in love with you. But I did anyway. You showed me you cared and it felt like I was the only one that mattered. For a while at least. I don’t know which one was more exhilarating- those long walks, those deep talks or your gorgeous smile. How…
