Darkness surrounds you, In veils of despair, Tightly pulling you, While to breathe you search for air. What would you do? Where would you go? You wish you only knew, The place where light would glow! You begin your quest for light, But blinded by fear, you see no way. But will you choose to fight? Or will you in darkness stay? […]
At midnight, when the clock struck, Announcing another year, It wished myself good luck, To make my resolutions without any fear! To write more and read even more, To exercise and get fit, To go to places I’ve never been before, These are quite ambitious, I admit! Its been ten days since, Write and read, I did. But I now wince, For to […]
Christmas is almost here! A season of joy and celebration, a season of spreading smiles and good cheer. It is a season for giving and receiving gifts. A lot of us are already someone’s Secret Santa and have already brought a smile on someone’s face or are going to soon. But tell me, have you ever given a gift to yourself? From you, to you? […]
“Why do you write?” is a question that you’d be asked often if you are someone who writes. And there always is a story behind it. While I was reading few of my recent poems, I recalled my reason for writing. When I look at my journey so far, I sometimes wonder if its really me all along. Sorrow was what made me start writing, […]
December is the month for celebrations – of sharing smiles, of sharing warmth as the cold winter comes along. It is also a time to look back on the 11 months that went by and ask ourselves “Where did the year go?” December also is the time when we remember and cherish some of the best moments of the year while we make plans for […]
High above, almost reaching the skies, I stand alone. With every sunset and sunrise, I think about how I have grown. Standing up for yourself is never easy, Especially when you stand alone. There will be times when you feel uneasy, And you realize that’s how you have grown. Winds of change may blow, And you will have to sway. But if your […]

Groping around to find that phone, And put off the alarm, Which is blaring with its annoying tone, I already have a headache and need some balm! Five minutes more I say, And I go back to the world of my dreams. As I run in my dreams to find my way, I wake up, and jump out of bed with screams! There’s […]
While living life each day, Something seemed missing. Nothing good came my way, I felt I had achieved nothing. On a journey I set out, To find the treasures that I’d missed so far. For I didn’t know what my life was about, I looked out for my guiding star Throughout the journey I searched, But I found nothing on my way. The […]
I stood by the window, Watching the sunset. Feeling a little low, For darkness had now set. But then I remembered what you’d said, On that first sunset we watched together. “The sun will again shine and let its light spread, It is not gone altogether” Those words to me were a hope, Hope that there will be light, And that I can […]
