BestfriendI want this loneliness to end,
I need a bestfriend,
I'm tired,
I'm lost,
Where do I run to
When I need to cry?
You know, the water droplets that come out of eyes
When your heart is heavy like a
Bag full of wet cotton,
That ache worse than a grazed knee,
Where do I run to?
Who do I run to?
I'm lost,
In an...

At the End of the DayThe voice within, a whisper bruised,
Fights the noise the world has used
To carve a man from primal bone
To cage the beast, to leash the lone.
The mind, a mat where wars unfold,
Instincts wild, but nurtured cold.
They tame him not with chains or rods,
But with applause and wooden Gods.
He wears the mask, rehearsed and tight,
Performs by day,...

Speed DialHang ups,
I’ve got plenty of those
Like a phone with
too many busy signals,
I couldn’t get through to you.
I think the number you gave me was out of service.
You said, “Dial me up”
but the damn phone was a push button.
I called long distance,
the operator said
“Put another quarter in.”
Sadly I only had one thin...

the accidentthe accident
When crossing the street, cars had stopped
to let him cross in respect for his age
He was thinking of death; he hoped it would be
sudden, no sentimental last farewell,
no lies
about seeing you on the other side
Should there be another side, he wouldn't
He liked to meet people he had met in life side
A piece of...

RibsTo the body I wish I could see
Why oh why can't you be me
I wish the work I do in the morning
Would show instead of the cautious warning
That nothing I do will stay
And that layer of fat will remain anyway
Clinging relentlessly to my belly and hips
Oh how I wish you could see my ribs...

pills in a bottlewhen i was 8
i made myself wear the title “broken”
i fully believed that i was a mistake, and that i didn’t deserve to live
i’ve lost count of how many times
i’ve tried to take my life when i was a kid
but it was a lot
at 13, i tried to commit 4 times
the pills that i...

The Thing about AIArtificial intelligence
created simply, because we can
to easily, lazily, complete tasks we plan,
and ones perhaps, we cannot do on our own.
No incentive now
to pursue knowledge or grow
no need for humanity to learn or know
how we are succumbing to boredom...

The GenocideI lay in the dust turned to mud by the blood of innocents,
my name i heard whispered on the sighing breeze of night
flahes of somrthing bright illuminated a ruined city.
broken buildings like jagged teeth seemed to laugh,
screams like banshees filled the sky dropping death
down upon the heads of those already dead.
What hate must be brewing...

The Wicket Keeper**The Wicket-Keeper**
Today, I learned that a lover I once cherished has passed away. Just yesterday, he was alive, and I never imagined I would feel this way about him. It’s strange how I rarely think about the rain unless it floods my drains, my driveway, or my beloved rose garden, or dampens my happy mood....

Before the Latched Gate“Keep knocking as hard as one can and wait patiently before the closed gate is the best way to enter it. But find if it is a gate to perdition or salvation.”- By Poet
On a late evening, wandering
lonely through the forest track,
an eerie little house I saw.
Its tiled roof and tall chimney,
peered through the thick...

What is love?What is love, really—
a figment of hope
sharp enough to shatter
centuries of lived patriarchy?
To think
education could make a dent
in what’s already carved
in bone & name.
To think
a stranger could be chosen
over the familial veins of caste, of home
over the womb of belief one never questioned.
Perhaps what’s
whispered in secret
was always meant to be hidden—
buried, before it flowers into...

My Heart Erupts
Leather bound thoughts, tied on pages,
whispering to me of each day's beginnings
This sheet peels heart's despair
Creeping on bondage of words not spoken
that in the light, a yearning arises
Spilling yarns knitted but unraveled-
Time's remembrances awaken and heave
Soaking memories on the earmarks of carbon
To learn that passages with bleeding lines
Never open to rage...

A DadI get so frustrated when I think about what I lost
Or perhaps never had
I know what it should have been
What it would be like to have a dad
No one is ever
Even close to enough for you
I try so damn hard but in your eyes
All I see is a disappointed gloom...
