Haze

His eyes were liquid honey Blazing and brimming awake; ‘Twas twilight reflected on his gaze. She stares away, in a daze Instincts clouded and lips locked away, Memories clouded and muddled. This familiar haze…. But, there it stays, The raging storm From a time before dawn. Yet again, the familiar emotions Grips the saint; so silence, Please, let me tame the devil. Let the ugliness … Continue reading Haze

Discovery

Fill my heart with this feeling That encaptures the broken pieces. I saw the clash of contraries, A melding not mixing Of the light and dark; A powerful symphony. Hollow and content, Wandering till twilight Hoping the answers will suffice. Beautiful, as it wrecks the cynic; What am I to make of existence? Poet’s Note: Have you ever been stuck in crossroads due to simple … Continue reading Discovery

Yearning

Wandering, this summer She spent wavering. This city is a mystery That I cannot fathom; It’s a breath of fresh air And turmoil at heart, It’s like his touch leading you While his mind is afar. A clash of the past and the present, Her mind is yearning While the numbness haunts Her reasoning. Do you roll with it or Do you walk away? Do … Continue reading Yearning

Journey

Like the wind blowing Throughout the year, We change our tides, failing And fairing; to never disappear Into the abyss That we, oh so fear. In the darkness within the depths, And the light past the distress, We dance in the rain, Even when gloom remains. Still. We strive; humans so turbulent, Yet we rise, Past the blunders and the beasts That haunt our time. … Continue reading Journey

The Lady

Mood music (Tamil): Enna Solla Pogirai (Meaning: What are you going to say?) from Kandukondain Kandkondain (I have seen, I have seen) A beginning with no end, The tantalizing promise In the midst of this maze, With your words Barricading the space, She’s caught. For now. Forever, the northern wind, Ready to storm away. Wind the flow of time, The lady remains. A soothing lullaby … Continue reading The Lady

Missy

Mood music: Yuri on Ice by Taro Umebayashi It’s okay, it’s okay, Dearest mine, So what if it dies out, So what if it changes, So what if it’s the rage of angels, So what if the tide rages? A sweet memory, beneath the sunshine; She lies down with the starlight, Mildew of midnight, and the Mist will clear out, alright! The girl from the … Continue reading Missy

Repetition

Waltzing in the shadows, We twirl to this Momentary symphony. One foot in the past, Another stuck in the future; A cascade of lies Maligned by the excessive truth. So clear, yet so far, Times change, But the heart remains In tattered parts – so She goes back to Stand by the the Aster, Hoping one day She will find her. But for now, As … Continue reading Repetition

Precarious

A chaotic statis, In the tranquil mayhem. A stronghold, Ever so bound. With breathless silence, Still, we watch on – The moment suspended and Passing between the spaces Between the million faces, The wanderer remains Still. A wishful comfort, With trepidation at large; A lingering truce, While the reverberations last. Author’s Note: Time and time again, I am reminded that life is rather precarious. Everything … Continue reading Precarious
