The voice of the pen

Image Source My friend, do you remember me? My friend, it has been a long time!  My friend, do you still remember me? My friend, I was your best friend not so long ago. I was with you during the days when you started off,I was with you when you struggled to hit it off.I was with you when you penned your book,I was with […]

The beauty of the rain

The beauty of the rain

Image Source I stand by window looking, And I feel the wind blowing. It starts as a gentle breeze, But then becomes so fierce that I freeze. Dark clouds gather in the sky, The birds now towards their nests fly. I see the flash of lightening and hear, The thunder roar as though the end is near. I smell the petrichor as the first drops […]

Learning from people

Learning from people

Image Source Like the clouds that pass by in the sky,A lot of people come into your life each day.Some make you feel low, some take you to a new high,But each one has something to teach you in their own way. Like the different colours of the rainbow,The people you meet are all different. Their impact on your life you may not know,But trust […]

On writing a poem

On writing a poem

Image Source It has been a while since I wrote,A poem that rhymed perfectly.The words around me float,Or they sit together imperfectly. I try grabbing them one by one,Arrange them in a way that makes sense.When I think the battle is almost won,I realize what I’ve made up is utter nonsense. It is there almost in my hand,And I don’t want to let it slip.But […]

To err is human

To err is human

Image source From the time that I was a little kid, I was told to be perfect. I was supposed to be the best in what I did, For nothing less than that did they expect. I grew up doing what I was told, As I was scared to try something new. I didn’t want to be bold, But it wasn’t right, I knew. Mistakes […]

Solitude

Solitude

Image Source I was tired of the race I was running, No time to savour the moment, no time to rest. All that mattered was just winning, As if life was a never ending test.  I was tired of the daily din, The clanging noises of the words with no meaning. No place for emotions to be let in, For there was no place for […]

That silver lining

That silver lining

Engrossed in thoughts I sit, Looking at how things have been a mess. It seems like good times have take a hit, A twist in tale like this, I never did guess.   In my life, nothing seemed right, For nothing made sense to me anymore. I was tired now and had decided to give up the fight, For all my dreams now looked like […]

If only

If only

Image source: Pixabay The pain is there Dad though it has been years, If only you hadn’t gone away. My eyes still are filled with tears, If only you could wipe them away. Why did you have to go Dad? If only it was just the pain that went away. Thinking about it makes me sad, If only you knew how much I miss you […]

#PledgeforParity : Equal opportunity is what I seek

#PledgeforParity : Equal opportunity is what I seek

I want to dream big, To fly high and reach for the sky. But there seems to be a hitch, For I’m girl, not a guy. From the time when I was kid, There was a list of things I couldn’t do. It was supposed to be for my own good, But those who understood me were very few. The society thought I couldn’t be […]
