Recipes + Poem – Cucumber with Miso

Cucumber with Sugar and Miso on top of Rice – I saw this recipe for the first time in the anime Barakamon, and then started craving it everytime I rewatchee it. Barakamon means energetic one, and it is one of my most favorite anime/manga. It is about a calligraphy genius named Handa Seishuu trying to get past his insecurities and living a simple yet busy … Continue reading Recipes + Poem – Cucumber with Miso

Inner Conflict

Here it starts, my love Are you ready to stand – through my version? Let me take you through The lands of retribution That will break you into pieces. It starts with a creek And the leaves Gliding in solace It shows your memory Filled with glee And people all surrounding, It was those days With flowers all blooming And Periwinkle so blinding A million … Continue reading Inner Conflict

Radar

Isn’t it beautiful? Every emotion that passes by A moment to recognize You’re still alive. It’s too short, We are often told Live a life without regrets And yet, we question A simple task, to touch To speak, it’s undefined Yet within a simple moment A constrain forever bound. A million moments To break out soul Yet within the swirling dark Resides a clawing creature … Continue reading Radar

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

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

Fable

In those moments, The fireflies took over the surface, And the stars whipped past the sky. I lie here, With the dewdrops of night, And the grass tickling my sides. I see you smiling, Looking up, It’s like your mind is wandering With mine; at the very moment Unleash the fairyland On which we travel, Embracing monsters And facing the dreams. I’m next to you, … Continue reading Fable

Long poem: Unbridled Spirit

In this mighty grey, She trails behind. Behind her kin, Her friends, Behind the ones. Trying to be better. It is such a slow progress Once, then twice and then some, Breaking spirits as they come. What will you do? Unchained, she limps on; Scrapping wounds, Sweating blood. Trailing behind, ‘Loser’ is the term With which she is defined. Yet, she is unbreakable, No, let … Continue reading Long poem: Unbridled Spirit

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

Within

Freestyle: Within Gasping, Every second with the ever present Choices and confusion. Pundits of perfection, Fumbling under flailing pretense; Gasping – Without any direction, Surrender, To the shackles and be free. But. The haste within Sometimes diminishes; Yet, a single instance, When the soul wanders past The chains of the past. The unknown awaits Gasping, Every second with the ever present Choices and confusion, Rising … Continue reading Within

Stardust

I tried something different for this poem. It is an acrostic First Love, and has the same connotation related to stardust and first love. Hope you like it! From the begining of time Iridescent as we run, Racing pasts the worlds Silent little wanderers – Tracking the lost. Lingering, beyond the cause Overwhelmed, it was an instant spark; Venturing past the edge Eternally clad in … Continue reading Stardust
