I am a dark soul, from inside and outTending to the evil that I carry withinAnger and hatred are all I ever spoutLeaving hurt and despair wherever I goI live my days as the devil’s scoutSowing rotten seeds in putty mindsI raise suspicion and cast new doubtTo lure my prey to the seedy pathI smirk…
Almost Twins
It’s been 4 years since the day she first walked into my office to renovate the new workspace. I still remember the first time we interacted. Her hands were full of orange paint cans, a paint brush stuck in her bun and awkward laughs all around. It started with a simple hello and we were…
S-Winging It
With my lips on some tea and nose in a book I sit every morning in the comfort of my swing From dusk till dawn, I can perch in it’s crook And admire the flowers blooming in this spring Immersed in green, this is my favorite nook For I love to hear it echo with…
Walk Away

I Saw You
To the girls on the beach, I saw the two of you today, laughing and joking with the other girls. But there was a hint of nervousness about you. While your lips were curled into smiles, your twitching eyebrows had another story to tell. I saw the casual glance you two exchanged. I was there…
The Four Of Us
I still remember that fateful day when our paths crossed. Marco was missing and I had searched for him in every possible place, until I saw his furry tail wagging at you. Right outside his favorite shop, I saw you throwing out treats for him. He seemed to have taken a liking for Polo. I…

Seasons I Still Remember
It’s been years since I left my city and years since I last saw her. I still remember all the village streets and the rain filled ditches we splashed in. I haven’t forgotten the cherry blossom in the main square and how we’d sit under it every spring. I am still taken back to the…
Something To Say
We all have something to say, something to shareA voice in our throat, waiting to enter an earSome words stringed together, forming a messageFlowing from our mouth, tired of splashing on a page A phrase here, some lines thereStaying silent, a thing so rare We all have something to say, something to shareA voice in…
Like A Sunflower
My day starts when he shows up at my doorstepThen I smile my widest looking at his bright cheery faceHis intense gaze makes me peep into his eyesAnd I lose myself in time… every time I find himHe casts a spell on me, my soul, my heart and my breathFor I can never think of…
Forgive My Sins
My mom always said that I was born to lead. For years she groomed me into a copy of herself. I was going to be her heir and sit on her chair, dictate terms and takeover firms. I learnt everything she could teach me and then some more. Today I’m ready to take the reins…

To the newly married me, You moved away from a house you called your home, to reside in a new home you are calling yours forever. You moved away from your family, to enjoy the company of a new family that’ll be yours forever. You moved away from a city you called your birthplace, to…
