AMOUR

Broken but beautiful; Or beautifully broken, Must I say? Love is the healer, they tell He got plenty of it, barmecidal But what if it is the cause of the wound?  A wound so deep,  the ocean's ashamed A wound so painful, I see a grim reaper A wound so severe, the scar lasts forever Broke  Read More...

Mom

"Mom" The nights often feel cold, even though it's the month of May. I shudder awake sometimes, and look around in the darkness. The only person I'm looking for is you. Your touch, calming my senses and telling it's perfectly okay to have these nightmares. Your voice, piercing the dark and soothing  Read More...

December
By Nandini Chakrabarti in General Literary | Reads: 790 | Likes: 0
December scares me a little, curtails me and forbids me to live free. I’m unsure if it’s anxiety and fear of losing somebody because all past decembers have been mournful that way.

Rhyme of an apocalypse
By Arun Dev Kumar in Poetry | Reads: 786 | Likes: 0
It came knocking one day, without a call; like the storm uncalled, the trap of a trawl. Hooks like fangs that barge deep within; efface one and then a kin. An isle that was once life, in ecclesiastic peace; where oaks were shade with flowered streets. The clan that escalated, seized by riches; spoil  Read More...

PRESENT! I woke up with a hue of compound confusions, surrounded by visible yet silent tears and all I could sense was a void within myself. Strange how I could sense a void but myself.

Showering Thoughts

When I stand in the shower, Unclothing ...wet scraps of linen, Naked and alone... Sometimes, stroking myself With the reminisce of you, softness!
