My Poison
Ask me about my poisonAnd I’ll reply – thinking;More than what I should,More than what I must! I ponder over what-ifs,I ponder over maybes;I create situations unrealistic,Replay until on them, I fix. I suffer in my mind,I go through the pain;Of things and people,Even though it may never rain. I run through blazing trails,Of moments […]

Tales of times

Upholding me!
I am a colorful rainbow,Shaded by beliefs and experiences;Of all the things I went through,And all the perspectives I grew. A collection of years of living,A unique personality brewing;Layers within layers to reveal,And so many feelings to feel. Yet you want to repaint me,Remodel me and retrain me;Fit me into your notional idea,Of the person, […]

Tattoos
Getting inked is a dream,Wearing the past on the sleeves;Covering the wounds of the body;And all the things we greave. Weaving stories of the passions,Of the quick successions;Of the tribes and the remind,Of the scars of the minds. A little color hereAnd some words there;A beautiful thoughtA form of self-care. A fashion statement,Or a professional […]

She!
I overcompensate, I overshare,I try to fill in the silence;And want to make me seemLike a person for whomThe world would really care. I try to be niceBy going out of my zone; Give multiple chances,To people who don’t deserve! Not saying no,And always going overboard,Giving when I don’t have, Shooting myself in the leg,For […]

Fixing Life
I think I need to fix it,There’s something broken it seems;Is it me or is it life,Or is it everything in between? I have an urge to find a solution,To a question or a problemWhich exists only in my mind,And yet it seems so real. Being constantly in the fight or flight mode,Trying to figure […]

Let’s travel
The excitement when the flight takes off,The amazement of a new place;Breathing in new air,The happy vibe it makes.

Sampling the local food,The wine and the cheese;Talking to strangers,Let the moment just freeze! The adventures on […]

Labels

Little things
The small things matter,They are important as hell;A little light at the end of the tunnel,Can mean everything will soon be well.The tiny smile to a stranger,A good morning to the man;A small peck on the cheek,Or just a hug, if you can!Listening to the day’s course,Taking interest in their life,Asking those small questions,Well, you […]

Eternal Hope
Hiding behind the curtains,A watery grave of solitude;A simple click and a small prick,Running the yard askew. A tingling feeling underneath,And a small sign of breathlessness;All very well veiled in the curve,Of an eternal burning sunshine. The search is unending,And the paths are multiple;Strutting along each of them,And changing the course often. An undecided mind,And […]

Being Wise
You can read a thousand books,A million videos you can watch;You can talk to the old and wise,Gather all the wisdom you want. You can hoard knowledge,Collect all the sayings in the world;You can be as literate as a sage,And yet be stuck to the very spot. It is great to be called a learned,What […]

Leap of faith
What are you afraid of?Why do you hold your steps?Is it something in your mind?Or is it because of your heart’s hurt? Why do you not take chances any more?Like when you were young and bold.When you would just flow with the things,And be eager to explore! What is it that holds you back?Is it […]

Human World
Not everything is to be analyzed,Somethings are to be felt;To be trusted and experienced.Like an everlasting trail of fragrance,They leave memories for life;And remind us of timesWhen we were once stars. Not everything is to be sorted,In the basket of right and wrong;It is just one big ocean,With fishes big and small;Each one is important,Each […]

Like a Butterfly
The more I try to come closer,More further you seem;Like a butterfly,Far away you beam. I try and try to hold youAnd keep you close,Yet you manage to escape,Right on tip toes. I put all my focus on you,And do everything I can do;Yet it doesn’t seem enough,Yet it doesn’t seem good. Now I think […]

Seeking Answers
Staying up at nights, I keep thinking;Trying to find answers,Of questions I do not know.Asking the darkness,To show me the light;Asking the weak,Tell me, how to fight?I keep running over and over,Through the same lanes,And the same roads;Hoping to run into something new,Something exciting, Giving me a cue.Little do I know, For the answers I […]

Dear visitor
I can hide you in my eyes,But promise me you won’t show;Or I can give you a space in my heart,But please don’t make it too dark. I can disguise you in my words,Do not fill up the space between lines;I can conceal you in my smile,As long as you don’t turn into frown. I […]

It’s not you, It’s me!
When I see you, it’s sad, You obviously need some help, Even though you don’t think that’s true, But I can see it all through. I can see your mind angry, I can feel your cry for help; It’s clearly visible how you avoid things, And people betrayed, this is how you felt. Like you […]

Weeding your subconscious
Every incident matters. It leaves an everlasting trace on you. No matter how small, and no matter how insignificant. You are changing every single minute. Each encounter leaves an impact on you.

You are what you give away
We all have judged someone one time or the other. Oh, she is good. Yeah, He’s snazzy. Well, I wish he were more intelligent. And we all subconsciously continue to do so. But have we ever though what kind of person we are? No, really? Have we ever? I am sure a lot of us […]

Are you just an option?
You feel special, you feel adored,Absolutely cared for, Spoiled to the core.Your every word is heard,Your every emotion explored.Happy happy little birdie,In their presence, you soar.Yet something keeps nagging,Something doesn’t seem right.There are times when you feel,Completely ignored.All the limelight, and all the focus,Once uphill, all go down the road.They call you and talk,But only […]

Maybe this is you
Being hurt by people is inevitable. Being hurt by yourself is worst. Those broken promises leave you doubtful.You surround yourself with walls.You become too afraid to be vulnerable.You become more comfortable with distancing yourself.You create new hobbies and engage your mind.You laugh and dance. Meditate and travel.Once in a while you feel lonely.But you think […]

Blame game
“You always blame me for what happened”; “Why am I always responsible for anything that goes wrong?” If this is what something you keep telling or wondering, chances are you are the one blaming yourself rather than others around you. You need to recognize the pattern of automatically holding yourself responsible for everything around you. […]

Things are meant to be
If things are meant to be,Nothing you do matters;However unlikely they seem,Even if they are in tatters. All the obstacles you counted,And all the negatives you saw;There’s always a way that works,That’s the goddamn law! If people are meant to be together,They will end up so;All they must do is trust,And just go with the […]

Friends
They put you down,They lift you up;They turn you around,And make you a clown. They embarrass you,And put you in trouble;Make fun of you,And burst your little bubble.

When worries surround you
When worries surround you,And you don’t know what to do;When nothing seems to work,Everyone looks like a jerk.

Stop worrying of the future and the past,These will not last;Do what need to […]

No […]

Unstuck yourself!
I have seen a lot of people feeling stuck in their life at some or the other point. They have this feeling where they feel worthless, they are bored with life. Life feels like a routine.

Remembrance
In the midst of the work,Something suddenly reminds me of you;I pause a moment and smile,Yeah, I do miss you!

Your thoughtful gestures,And the caring thoughts;The diversions you created,Just to make me forget it all. You […]

Thoughts of sorrow
Everything I believed in, Got lost with time; Everything I said mine, Aged away with wine. Every step I took, Got erased with each wave; And everywhere I looked, All I saw was grave. All hearts dark, And all hands closed; Even from the lake, A jealous smoke rose. Stood there in the midst, A […]

Stop Judging…. Yourself!
“Oh, it’s not really his fault”, “It’s ok buddy no worries” or “That’s alright. I completely understand why you did what you did”. We all have said this to a lot of people. We all have forgiven other people for their mistakes, for the hurt that they have caused us. We always give other people […]
