The Fire That Does Not BurnThere is a fire in me
Not meant to destroy.
It lights ruins
So I can read the old names.
It warms no one...
But, it remembers....

Strength?strength they call her fondly
she's courage to some
i hold her hand, let her in
let her show me who i shall be
i hold her hand, let her in
let her guide me through the thorny scene
she stayed, with regret
hidden in neat folds of guilt
she held grief, letting broken trust be built
she held softness, she held...

Let Me Yearn(summer 2024)
I want a love that is pure, beautiful and made for me.
I want them to be poetic to me in a way that I am smitten.
God, I yearn for my person to come toward me.
It hurts to wait and still feel stuck.
How do I keep moving forward when I have feelings like this...

WHAT HURTS THE MOSTI don’t feel anything anymore,
I thought having you in my hands was all.
I thought I’d be the one you adored—
But I couldn’t see through the rising walls.
You gave me the key, you opened the door,
But I was blind to the cracks in the floor.
I saw forever in your smile,
Not knowing forever was just a while.
You...

The Beat of My HeartWithout a word I slip out of bed
and a thousand conversations
run through my mind
as I walk barefoot across worn carpeting.
Two nights ago, I barely made it home
while driving through a deluge
and water on the roads.
I defied the warnings
and survived
as bolts of lightning laced the sky.
I was the storm.
I was the silence.
Now as the sun pokes...

Dearest ReaderDearest reader, I have many secrets
But I wont tell you now, I'll wait till you're older
Heavens know I have many regrets
But I wont tell you now, please wait till I'm bolder
There are many things about me you dont know yet
But I wont tell you niw as you rhetorically cry on my shoulder
There is a version...

Theater Of lifeTheater Of Life
We met as strangers stranded in the park,
Lonely as the night -
Wandering in wonder, will the train surface?
1:35am she thought to provide me warmth
Open arms, I drowned beneath her chest.
We sang, imitating the birds in the far away forest,
The wind sang along in uniformity, blended we thought!
Utopia was now newly found home,...

At My Leisurea blank page
when I awaken
and walk barefoot
across the carpet
and when I embrace
the song of nothingness
it wants more
a cool breeze through the window breathes new life
onto the page in front of me
and the sun peaks through the window
as I sit at my laptop
and slide my feet under the desk
I love my muse and learn to let...

Nature Speaks To My SoulI stand alone in natures beauty,
in the woods by a trickling stream.
I feel the presence of my destiny,
as a repetitive eternal dream.
I hear the gurgling of water,
as it follows its chosen way,
No worries of tomorrow,
as it just flows towards the bay.
My mind says, relax you’re never alone,
the beauty of nature is all around.
A fallen...

Within oneselfIf I did not see it
Was it there at all?
I thought I heard the flutter of wings
Did I not hear the sound of a call?
The song of a bird
Nor an angel or worse?
If I did not hear it
Am I my own curse?...

My Mind Is a Train StationFlickering lights cast shadows on the crowd,
Each chasing hopes that slip through their hands.
Trains whistle past in endless circles,
Rushing toward visions that never stay.
I stand beneath a single blinking light,
Waiting quietly as the crowd fades away.
No need to follow fading tracks,
No rush to catch a train that disappears.
The platform empties, footsteps soften,
Only my shadow remains,...

Ankahi Si Baatein-'Unspoken Words'
Kuch surkhiyon si aati hui, ret ko sametiye,
Kaali ghata hai chaah rahi, roshni ko sametiye.
Sametiye, sahejiye, woh pal jo kho rahe abhi,
Jo tera ho na saka, uski yaadon ko sametiye.
Kuch ankahi si baat hai, kuch ankahi si raat hai,
Kuch gun guni si dhoop hai, kuch toofani si shaam hai.
Dil kholiye, kuch boliye, sunne ko bekarar...

In the Arms of DarknessNight wraps me softly in her arms,
Whispering secrets, weaving charms.
She cradles echoes in my chest,
A quiet breath, a gentle rest.
Her cloak conceals my hidden scars,
Each one a story traced by stars.
She treads with footsteps calm and slow,
Through empty halls where shadows grow.
By day, she hides behind the sun,
But when the world is overrun,
She dons my...
