Taking a Step Back

It's fine, once in a while, To step back For someone else To shine. It's fine, once in a while, To not be in the hurry That we were born into And kept on living in. It's fine, once in a while, To not be as ambitious As we had always been, Never settling for [...]

Selfless

How hard is it To let go, When all you want is To hold on? How hard is it To understand Everything except you Fits into someone's plan? How hard is it To smile for someone When all you want is To cry out loud for yourself? How hard is it To know if you [...]

Have Patience

Trust me, no one can know better than me how extremely exhausting it can be to wait. And wait. And wait. It not only drains one out of positivity but also starts piling up within a person the humongous feeling of failure. It eats away at the person's real personality and leaves in its place [...]

The Sound of Waves

I like the sound The waves make Every time They travel ashore. I like the rhythm They put on display Each time They quietly die down. I like the peaceful chord They strum in my heart Every time They come and go. I like the waves For what they play Each time For me, on [...]

Genderless Love

We love because we love. The brain shuts down. The heart beats fast. All for someone, Regardless of reason, Regardless of gender. We love because we love. The mouth hardly speaks. The eyes speak volumes. All for someone, Regardless of expectation, Regardless of gender. We love because we love. Not the way we are taught, [...]

Betrayed

The hints were all along. Yet, we chose to trust When we should not have. Thus, we stand betrayed. Was it our naive nature? Or their over-smart opportunitism? What was to really blame? Either way, we stand betrayed. When a connection breaks, There's still hope of revival. When trust breaks, all ends, As we stand [...]

Flattering

Utter nonsense uttered, With no head or tail. Yet you expect me To humour you. Are you kidding me? You know it's stupid. You know you're being stupid. Yet you want me To flatter you. Are you kidding me? Especially when time is scarce, Especially when patience is done with, Yet you try pushing me [...]

Soap Bubbles

Floating in the air, They come near me, Telling a different story Of a faraway land. Showing off their colours, They come near me, Telling of how a myriad Can live together. Filling me with awe, They come near me, Telling something beautiful In a simple tongue. These are soap bubbles, Nothing more. Yet they [...]

What Easter Means to Me

Hope. That is what Easter means to me. It is the celebration of something unseen or unheard otherwise. It is the celebration of the victory of life over death. It is the celebration of God's power. We could all do with some hope, right? We all have our struggles, our disappointments, our complete set of [...]

Falling Leaves

They fell quietly, Without letting anyone know. They fell ardently, Like it was the right thing to do. Their time was up, That they knew. There was no point holding on. So why leave behind a few? They carpeted the ground That they used to stare down at. Touched it with a light bounce, The [...]
