A TENDER VERSE
To you I write This tender verse My dearest Lover at first glance. I was no believer In love struck on sight Calling it mere heat Not heart. But you changed that. Words may fade Ink may dry Even the sky may lose its blue But with you, I feel whole. So I write With ink steeped in longing Softly asking For your hand, if you're willing....

unforced errors
In tennis, Love means nothing. Off the court, It’s everything.   Tennis and love start the same— Your pulse quickens, hands shake. Your first high school match, You lose the opening service game to love. You would’ve felt less gutted Had your opponent eviscerated you.   Tennis is a game Of little lives and quiet deaths, Each break point converted, electric— Every winner a shock to the heart. The points lost...

Love Songs Don't Sound As Good As They Used To
Have you heard the one about the birds and the bees? I never much liked it myself, because it soured the taste of our innocence. Or maybe our innocence soured the taste of us. So much for happy endings, and so much for love. So much for innocence, and so much for us. You’re an old slow dance. You’re an old song. And if I’m being honest— I still think back to that time I...

Even in Pieces, I Stayed Yours
English Rhyming Translation © Krishika Upadhyay | 2025 I’m breaking down, in lashes' shade, In silent dreams, I wish I stayed. I try to rise, on roads that smile, But thorns have gripped my feet a while. Yes, thorns are biting where I tread, And tears now rest where sleep once spread. It feels I’ll shatter, fade away, Or lose myself in you someday. I...

Premium Member A Carnival Night of First Love
On a warm summer evening we are pinned together on the octopus ride, twirling with excited pleasure. Even the breeze we swirl through cannot cool us down, for the passion of new love consumes us. We browse along the Midway, and he buys for me spun sugar on a stick. Later we sit buckled in on the seat of a huge lit-up ferris wheel. It circles...

Mil Gayi Kya
Wo daulat wo shohrat jo chahiye thi mil gayi kya Jo main de na saka tha wo khushiyan mil gayi kya? Jin ko paane ki chaah mein chhoda tha tumne mujhko Us shaks mein tumhein wo saari khoobiyaan mil gayi kya? Wo moti jade lehange ka, kya shauk tera poora hua Wo tujhe heero se judi hui choodiyan mil gayi...

The Honeymoon
We married not beneath a sky, But in the belly of the Earth — The Mponeng mine, where shadows cry, And gold remembers sorrow’s birth. No roses bloomed, no organs played, Just echoes where the diamonds wept, And in that hollow heart, we laid A vow so sacred, silence kept. Her name was Lucy — fierce and kind, A flame that lit my wounded...

"God did not create darkness. Darkness is the absence of light. He did not create hate. Hate is the absence of love. Darkness and hate therefore, are the absence of God." ~ by poet Kept apart by time, miles, and circumstance, their sweet reunion quivers with passion. Seen distantly across the bridge, they ran. Teeth, lips, and bodies...
