Muffled Voice

Muffled Voice

I could hear the voices, That awaited my arrival. They said we will do this, They said we will do that.   I knew they were mine, And I belonged to them. Lest I knew that, That was just my misunderstanding.   Reality was far more severe, As when they heard… I...

Smoky Imprints

Smoky Imprints

The azure sky, Looked bright and calm, Shining against the sun, It looked all warm.   Gray coloured birds, Flew across majestically. Leaving a trail of smoke, As the imprint on its body.   The birds had a tattoo, The tricolour that we boast off. They glided...

The Greatest Wanderer

The Greatest Wanderer

Who's the greatest wanderer,  Have you ever thought,  Who can it be?    Thoughts drift,  From present to past,  And to the future too.    The path that is taken,  Is sometimes known,  And sometimes unexplored too.    The journey is pleasant,  At times...

If a Castle Would Speak

If a Castle Would Speak

The walls, old yet firm,  Spoke in volumes,  Of the royalty it enclosed.  The generations that grew within,  And the stories of their valour.    The unwinding stairs,  Had tales to tell too.  Tales of battle lessons learnt,  And footsteps that brought in...

And I Surrendered

And I Surrendered

The love that was showered,  Ahh.. Pure bliss twas,  And I surrendered,  To that love.    The trust they had on me,  Was more than expected,  And I surrendered,  To that trust.    They believed in me so much,  That they fought with their parents for me.  And...

Supreme Dancer

Supreme Dancer

The feminine feeling Paced through the little heart From the tender age of ten.    Dance, was the only solace,  To express the femininity,  That remained hidden under the garbs of a boy.    An era when only XX and XY were accepted,  Made it difficult for the...

That Bright Sun

That Bright Sun

Their lives were filled with gloom,  Like the pregnant, dark clouds that did loom,  Over the earth, arousing the petrichor.    Slowly, through the clouds, there came,  A streak of light - warmth it became,  So did the smile of the unknown to them.    The...
