Half Happy

Flashing my off-white smile to the world I wonder if they can see past it. The big grin they see plastered on my face does no justice to the teeth I am secretly clenching. The rosiness they see at the edge of my smile is mistaken for a shy blush. My anger has its redness…

In A World Of Beauty

I am flawed like the moon Beauty marred by ugly spots I Plunge into never ending gloom Scared of the sprouting dots It’s a life of a hag in a world of beauty… I am a woman of youth and grace Trapped in a worldly maze of hurtful jibes Running from the world hiding my…

The Eternal Wait

For years I’ve waited to be loved by him For years I’ve wanted to be embraced by him For years I’ve wanted to smile for him For years I’ve welled my eyes for him For years I’ll still wait to be loved by him For he is my wait and I’ll always wait for him

Love Never Dies

The strong arms of this world pulls us apart They hear me not but I shout, “He is my part” For years he lay with me and here forever he lies He is dead for years but I shout, “Love never dies”

It Was The Key…

I haven’t slept for 2 nights and they are trying to drive me out but as adamant as I am, nobody can stop me from doing the night duty again. Sitting by the window I take a plunge into the past and smile on the little things we did together as a kid, partied together…

Tell Me Why

What was I when I first met you? A tortured soul, a bruised heart! Breathing through the day with pain, Drowning deeper into my sorrow… I fear what? I know not but I fear So I curl up in my restrictive shell Shying away from the bright light That reflects from your poised self From…

Before The Final Bout

I ponder over my life at night as I lay Counting flaws, ignoring perfections A lump in my throat grows bigger each day Not a single vent for the piled up emotions I choke over my thoughts yet again A cyclone waiting to blast, ripping me out Holding on for too long was the worst…

Hollow Of A Dark Night

In a world of desires I stand cracked but firm Holding my roots strong, hiding my inner squirm Turning a deaf ear to the sinful pelting of life Wearing a brave face, hiding my personal strife What lies ahead is beyond me to unravel But I will still walk the path on painful gravel Towards…

Stillness

No thoughts racing my mind, there’s a complete blank I see no images in my mind, an unending black occupies it Devoid of all emotions now, like a stone I sit all day long In an endless pit I am falling, down and down into the dark I crave those old times, the tough old…

The Visible Void

She clutched his arm with shivering hands remembering the times they were together. His intense eyes had always intrigued her and before she realized she had fallen head over heels in love with him. The times they were together, in a blissful unawareness always came back to her. Haunted her? No, probably not because she…

Long Overdue

The eyes that were once filled with love for me Have a void so chilling that I am left devoid of glee Each day as I lay in bed craving for your warmth All I feel of the love we share is a painful dearth The place that once reeked of our love is nowhere…

My Fake Self

For the world I wear new smiles everyday Each grin that I borrow, in tears is how I repay I may look happy, but inside its grimace that lay Covering my true self is now the only way! There’s none who knows what goes on inside A tough task it was but I managed to…
