Paper Boat

Setting out on a journey, A Long way I have to go. For I am a paper boat, Floating in the stream of darkness. Eager and curious for the destiny to unfold, I am all stiff in pride, For I am a paper boat, I am setting out for a ride. Cold wind pushes me hard to move forward, And I wait for someone to  Read More...

Somedays are just beautiful.Unexplainable. I wouldn't change a thing. If I could frame it. I'd probably would.Like those picture frames in Harry Potter films that has an instance stored in it. If it were up to me, I'd save the whole day.Then, some days are bad. Some get worse.But the worst of them,   Read More...

I Still Exist...

If a house made of bricks, mortar, wood and metal could tell a tale, here is one.. I will not tell you a lie. That is the prerogative I leave for you, the humans. The picture you may create in your mind from what I remember how I looked over 50 years ago, may not induce any romantic feelings. Thre  Read More...

If We would have

So much so good I would have said,My mind if you could have read.Words to the songs that I couldn't sing,The tunes that I played in my head.If it wasn't for the broken heart,Where, the lost mind would have lead.The faded pictures I couldn't keep,The forgotten promises that you should have kept.All y  Read More...

UNKNOWN

This weight is not easily lifted A nagging ache, an unknown fear What will or will not happen? Not knowing is both bliss and curse So hold on to what you know Your worth in forged memories Your purpose in a hopeful future There's more to life than we know Stay in faith till then The ache shall sleep  Read More...

"Life’s a stage," Shakespeare said. "Everyone mere players," he said. Should’ve believed that old coot. --- My life was being destroyed by my hands, Bleeding, writhing and screaming, I knew not the reason for my cruelty, I knew not the reason for my indifference, I knew not the reason fo  Read More...

Calamités Invoquées

A tremble, a shudder A siren, an artless rudder Man stands at the precipice of two bodies A beating muscle,caged And a bleeding earth, set free In this pool, we stand  Reeking of our festered selves, deception,hurt Our wasteful ways, unearthed Nature heaves, in silence alone Turning us inwards,  Read More...

Today a weird sense of peace was running around in air,As i sit down with coffe in one hand and book in my chair,I left the words strandling in between just to hear,The chirping and kooing of birds,I could feel their happiness, i could hear the lords'For once man has stopped and breathedJust a momen  Read More...

Summer

I’ve always liked summers. They remind of old wooden houses, beachy smells and her. It was by the lake when I first saw her. Her soft brown hair flowing in the summer breeze, her infectious smile radiating under the golden sun, her chubby feet playing catch with the cold water. She was five a  Read More...

As I lay there dying
By Sarah Sharma in Poetry | Reads: 806 | Likes: 0
As I lay there dying Some thoughts enter my mind  I think about what the world has become  I wonder when did everyone become so numb I wonder who killed me  For that question's answer is the key  It's the key to all secrets in life  It's the key opening the cabinet of knives  Read More...

Distress

Locked within walls, Freezed in monotony, Irked with the happenings, And a sense of helplessness, Shoes are in dust, Keys are in rust, Emotions are unknown, Frustration is guiding them all, Trapped is the feeling, Freedom is what is seeked, Deep within I'm struggling, Yet, my lips are smiling, New s  Read More...

She trudged around the house , sighing as the light beams tripped on through the glass window panes.For all the sunrises that she took for granted, she grimaced and rebuked herself.
