TrappedI’m a rat trapped in a cage. Spinning my wheel round & round forever. The days don’t start & the days don’t end. I just exist & at the same time I don’t. It makes me wonder if phantoms are real & if they are is this how they feel? Like they’re floating outside reality....

Inner World Of A Tormented MindLike a dust that has been blown away
If I only had the chance to really say
But I can only stand on the dock of a bay
Within this soul there is a empty world inside
With no one near or anybody far
Not even a single wound or a mere scar
No love, hate or pride
Just a place where...

Dear future boyfriendDear Future Boyfriend
I may not be perfect to love,
Jealous when I see you with others,
Sad when you come home late,
Scared when you're not taking my calls—
But every beat of my heart still whispers your name.
Hey future boyfriend, I may not look bothered
When you do things that hurt—
That's because everything you do is not new.
I'm used...

marooned mind
my capricious creation
designs psychic lattice
morphs into innate Narcissus
nestled in introvert isolation
where I am me, aberrant recluse

The silence between the stars
They told you the dark was empty,
that space was a cold hush
with nothing to say
but they were wrong.
The silence between stars
is not silence at all,
but a listening
a lullaby wrapped in gravity,
waiting for someone
to call it beautiful.
You, who thought yourself too small,
too broken,
too scattered in thought
you are seen.
You are named.
And the light that shaped you
never forgot.
Even...

Distant dreams of paradisealone i walk the lengths of this world
you’ve been gone forever and a day
you didn’t say you’d be gone an eternity
when you last said your goodbyes
i wander here alone in my wilderness
while you’re out there on the other side
i walk around chasing the light
in a sky that clocks the time
meanwhile i shed my tears...

Summer ElegyWould you mind if I won’t talk
About what to do
Better sit, relax or walk
Silently subdue
To the sweetness of the day
With the promised rain
That forgot to fall today
Though the sky was grey
The roadworks spread happy noise
The smell lingers far
Tips me gently there’s no choice
I can’t book a car
Get the plane and swiftly fly
That familiar route
Just...

Waves That PullOne step away
from waves that play.
In that fresh light,
he let go that night.
I thought back then,
that was all it had been.
I stayed to see
each wave hit me.
With heart shut tight,
no stars in sight.
My hands let go,
they moved so slow.
Each night I'd fall
inside the call—
the thoughts so loud,
the cries unbowed.
Maybe it's me
who made him flee…
But how...

HER SILENT TAUNTSShe wakes up in the morning with a bright smile,
Not knowing what sleep is - just a word spoken around.
So many voices echo in her ears saying "end it all,"
Fighting battles sometimes she can't even recall.
She will always be more than enough,
Even when things get tough.
Socialising is her greatest enemy,
Leaps through storms just to find...

Choices I make
There are arches and doorknobs
I feel with my hands but,
instead of pushing through,
around and round
i meander clueless,
my head in a cloud
caught up in the darkness
I coddle to the point
of despair and delusion.

Not Invited
Not Invited
When it’s that time of year for beer and reunion
For high-jinks and thoughts and comradely communion
And having a party to be reunited
There’s one who won’t be there – who wasn’t invited.
I don’t like to dance or to wear fancy dress.
I don’t feel the need to get up and impress.
To watch drunken foolishness makes my...

Stone Cold and HeartbrokenIn the quiet of my lonely room,
Your laughter echoes, a distant tune,
Time zones stretch, and miles divide,
A love once close now feels like a sigh.
Letters linger, words on the screen,
Each message a hope, a flicker unseen,
Days turn to shadows, weeks follow fast, ...

The Last Station of WaitingLong ago, Mithila was left at this forsaken station,
As the train slipped away on the wrong track,
cutting all horizons.
There was no return
Mithila knew it, even then.
This waiting was only a silent, endless sigh.
In the dust-covered mirror of nostalgia,
Her past flickers, bright as gleaming,
Unreal in its stillness and beauty.
The present? A colourless traveller
That tells no...
