Childish Questions "Qua-ran-tine. How do you spell it, Mum?" Asked little Rita, looking tired and glum. She had been pulled back in from her afternoon play, And she'll be in here for weeks, or so they say.

Escapism

When you run away from all of your problems, you eventually run from yourself. You forget the person you could be if you stayed in one place, worked through your downfalls, accepted your shortcomings and then overcame them. You forget that there’s a version of you who is reliable, dependable ,  Read More...

Humanity

I felt like a prey under tiger's claw,  begging for mercy Wondering why nobody was showing any courtesy  I saw phones around me but no face was to be seen.. And that's how I lost faith in humanity,  when I was only thirteen.  Ps: be human.. Be kind... ❤  Read More...

Dance of Life

Screaming in the silence of the night, this thumping, throbbing heart of mine. Seeks a calm that it cannot get, tries to shout but words fail it. So, I take my blanket, close my eyes              And try to become one with the abyss that right now presides.   Read More...

The Ghost town

The virus stealthily crept Dont step out was the advice that went unheard Many dared to go out to prove they were not a coward Alas too quickly it spread like a raging forest fire A solitary case and then in herds  And when they buried the dead or lit the pyres Alas a ghost town - no one wept .  Read More...

The moon’s up ,  The lights low ,  The tears stopped rolling years ago .  The fires burning ,  But a little slow ,  I wish I could have the power to live with the flow .  I eat ,  They sleep ,  I weep , They repeat .  They don’t know if I&r  Read More...

Blue in a day, Black at night   Dusk and dawn Make it bright   Amid the enormous sky, Imbibe the aura of realism at the behest   Woods soaring, Birds sing lullaby   And the gushing waters let caravan flee; Precise formations are the nods of His Phoenix and excellence.   He h  Read More...

Poetry that we've become
By fareha siddiqui in Poetry | Reads: 490 | Likes: 0
We're just unspoken words and reckless memories, In the absence of colours we were becoming art,  We're filled with dust and the things that simply faded, But the poetry that we've become could wrench the stars apart.   Read More...

I am crying as I can see one of my children suffering, Even though it inevitably means that all my other kids are healing. For I am a mother, it was my passion to nurture you all, For I am a mother, it was my devotion which flourished you all. I love you all; some are with me, some I have lost. M  Read More...

Promises should always be kept: Part 1
By Saki in Poetry | Reads: 488 | Likes: 0
The carnage was ghastly. Silent tears ran like a river, Broken hearts were galore. Lost too many people to count, Too many lost their soul.   The breath taken was ragged, Muscles in legs protesting and burning With a bloody sword in hand, With a foul curse in her mouth, She rose from the blood   Read More...
