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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Dear love, I know it has been long, Since I heard from you. But I know I’ve to be strong, Though about your well being I’ve no clue. At times I wish that you didn’t have to be away, But I understand when duty calls you have to go. For your safe return I always pray, I miss you a lot though. I wish time […]
Image Source I walk alone feeling low, For in an instant my dreams lay shattered, For fate has struck its blow. I wanted to fly high, I wanted to achieve something and inspire, But I’ve to bid my dreams goodbye. I’m supposed to live by the set rules, Which irritate me to no end, I’m helpless as I’m surrounded by fools. Is there none who […]
Image Source I was lost in the crowd, I was one among the lot. My voice lost in the din ever so loud, “Who am I?”, the answer I sought. To some I was good; to some I was bad, I’d been kind to some and rude to many. I’d made people happy and I’d made them sad, But who was I, answers I didn’t […]
Picture prompt: Anindya Basu On a sunny afternoon, After a hearty meal, To my dream world I wish to go soon, By my master’s side at ease I feel. The soothing cool breeze, Puts me off to sleep. My usual bed is here under the trees, By my master’s side who is in slumber deep. But I’m alert, ever ready to wake up, My master’s […]
Image Source When the wound had almost healed, When the pain was almost gone, When the scars had almost disappeared, You decided to bring it back on. The things I’d almost forgotten, The memories I wished would fade, Were now fresh instead of rotten, The painful moments were again openly laid. The pain was more than ever before, With the wounds bleeding all over again. […]
