Amidst The Falling Leaves And Petals
Dry leaves and petals are falling Instantly one by one, over my head Rapidly as I catch them in my hands Some of them freely fall in my head In my face, in my back unnoticed I'm jumping happily with grace And when I stop all of a sudden Many of them also freely fall below I notice of such awe but felt...

Fare Thee Well
I am in many rooms trapped with death Or waiting for death to get there Like this one time. It was a salon My nails were done neon blue With heena flowers With a splash running down to the tips It was really beautiful; you should have seen Next was my cuticles She did one I am going...

Premium Member Deprived Of Your Love
Glib rhetoric concerned with striking independence may seem frivolous, nuanced rational quite often a typical traumatic casualty, the once interminable interdependent passionate zeal disintegrating in rapid spasms, a longing sated and mutually embraced by two compatible persons now collapsed, indivisibility transformed or transforming into invisibility and the direction sadly inevitable, aftermath of intensity level shock to pitiless essence, recovery initial...

Pahalgam
The sky. Bows down, The great Himalayan. Making it beautiful For every dawn. Has disturbed The Pahalgam! What's cause? Which made it From resilient one, Into a crying noise! After a long run! The quiet lets Along the vast, Sarcasmed valley Within the peace, And of calmness. Has disturbed The Pahalgam! What's that? Marking great beauty, From the heaven, To a hell! Of the Earth!...

The Weight of Others' Expectations
Son of Man, pause before judgment's seat, Lest haste consume your soul's retreat. Do what's right, yet don't waste precious time, For pleasing all is a futile rhyme. In seeking validation, you may lose your way, And those you please will mock you on your final day. Marry with wisdom, don't borrow to impress, For pleasing others can lead to financial distress. You...

Never Again
I plant my feet firm on this ground And declare with every breath in my body— Never again. Never again will I shrink myself To fit into spaces not built for my expansion. Never again will I dim my light To make others comfortable in their darkness. Listen— My body remembers every time I said "yes" when I meant "no." My spirit carries...
