Life of Lies

Life of Lies

She was considered lucky,  Just like her mother.  Intelligent and smart that she was,  She aced academics and sports.  Fiercely independent she became,  And tasted success in every step.  Even her marital life was a bliss,  And happiness never did she miss.  Her...

Masked Life

Masked Life

  Living in a hiding, so far, Away from your near and dear ones, To not meet again even once, Life becomes uncertain like war, Decisions that would always marr When one's existence is at stake, Hardly any choice left to make You brace thyself for the future Which...

Smile that Masks

Smile that Masks

Every smile that she bore Masked some emotions and fears.  Behind it, lay a plethora of,  Unspoken words and feelings.  Her soul remained sealed Beneath the deceptive smile you see.  The mirror was her soul sister,  As she revealed the bruises to her.  Some external,...

Ink – An Acrostic

Ink – An Acrostic

Ideas and thoughts that Nestle in our minds and Kindle our emotions,    Inking them onto paper,  Neat and crisp, oh!  Keyboards can't do that magic.    Idyllically holding the pen,  Nursed with ink of any hue,  Kaleidoscope of imaginations emerge. ...
