Mirrors
I stared blankly at the worn reflections
inside the broken mirror
As if I was looking at a wounded knight
after a war.
Armours torn and a blood-covered sword.
It's just that it's my blood
Dripping down the cold metal
Lamenting the demise of the old me.
The mirror's broken parts
Fills my broken soul perfectly
I've gotten tired of the chaos
But, I am made of wars

Perhaps we are just tiny specks of glitters in this world full of stars, but we can daze the eye and call love blind.

Prisoner of Freedom
At the sound of your declaration
The doors of the jail room flew open.
You've been practicing that spell all your life
And now it finally worked.
It jolted a happiness in you
But a thought of familiar fear came rushing to you
Like a wave to a sandcastle
You stared at the door
Heart's pounding
But your feet won't make a step.
Your soul yearns for freedom
But your heart is afraid to leap.
For the longest time, you've grown accustomed to the comfort of the four corners of that jail that you, infact, called it home
Freedom- is this really what you need or is it just another cell, only bigger?

What am I?
What am I here for?
These are the times questions like these matter
Between thoughts of life, sex, and homosexuality
I have no answer for them
I don't know what I am
Neither do I know what I am here for
Either I don't have the words
Or words won't suffice
I yearn for physical touch
I think I should not be.
Bruised and exhausted
In the battle of conscience and pleasure
The chain has gotten frail and the anchor is failing
I'm giving in to the tide
The only thing that holds me
Is the familiar fear for the unfamiliar
I am neither a traveler nor a native
Neither here nor there
I thought I know me
Not anymore

Fear
The night used to be a friend;
A companion
But now, darkness terrifies me.
The terror of its flaming eyes,
peaking right through my soul,
tearing my peace asunder.
I cannot anymore remember a fine night
No, not a single star in the dead of it.

I always remember how you love to talk about stars-
Reciting to me their names as though they're your bestfriends from a far away place.
You said that they can see the future,
And by looking at your eyes, I'm convinced they do.
You also said that they're never really gone during the day,
We can't just see them but they're always there.
I was never fond of astronomy, but I always believe you.
Especially when you told me I was your polaris,
Though I don't really know what a Polaris is,
But you said I was your guiding star.
Since then, I've never looked at the sky the same way ever again.I've never looked at the sky the same way ever again.

I'm out with myself again
Walking at the park
Scrutinizing the roads
Counting the trees,
Talking to the grasshoppers
Adoring the sunset
Hating the skyscrapers
Watching the caterpillars
It's actually humbling, you know
how a caterpillar
Hides its metamorphosis
In a rough ugly cocoon.
How it goes in naked
And comes out with a ravishing dress.
Like a senior going to a prom
and bagged the prom queen award just that.
It's getting dark,
And I'm still walking on
What seems to be an endless road.
The fireflies are out again
With their lamps on their butts
Adorning the only tree
at the center of the park.
They seem to be fond of Christmas.
The one with trees and flowers
And moon and stars.
Walking is a tiring thing to do
Especially, when you have no one
To hold hands to.
So, I sit on the bench near the trash can
With a "non-biodegradable" sign on it
But, is actually brimming with
Crumpled papers of unfinished poetries.
"Those papers are where
they're supposed to", I muttered.
"Poetries don't biodegrade.
Papers do, but not poetries."
I picked one up and neaten it
The ink is still fresh but the
Words aren't, so is the one
Who wrote it I suppose.
"If love's a game, I'd be a fool. Trapp"
engraved in the papers.
"Another heartbreak story", I sighed.
They just don't go out of style, don't they?
I pick another up and read the words
"I LOVED YOU" at the top of the paper
all written in capital letters
The paper is soaked,
With tears? We don't know

"Poetries don't biodegrade.
Papers do, but not poetries."

The rain remembers how it feels like
Falling on you,
And Feeling your body.
We're two distant storms,
And this is how we should be.
We bid farewell,
But we long to stay.

I wonder when my stories
All began to slip away
Those places I'd escape to
On dark and gloomy days
One had an enchantress
And another dwelt on dreams
My young imagination
Was bursting at the seams
Alone in my bedroom
I'd conjure up those worlds
Typing all my stuck emotions
Onto the pages that unfurled
Recently I've been brighter
I can face the darkest day
But with no need for escape
I put my stories away

Step on the Stairs of My heart,
4,5,6
Hold the nerves so you won't stumble
7,8,9
You fell once but keep moving
10,11,12
Hold them tightly and Knock the black door,
13,14,15
The one with so many cells flowing within
16,17,18
Unlock the door yourself

Stay for a while or for eternity.

You reek of lies which you have confined inside yourself over the time just to barf out and smear my already splintered heart.
I wonder have you ever lied to your heart?
You puke out jealously and very harsh invectives acknowledging that i have finally moved on but you didn't and you think it my fault
but its not.
I wonder did you ever care about me?
You shattered my every dream like broken window pane and pretend like you did nothing.
Don't you see?
you sealed my destiny and left me to rot in hell of loneliness and torture.You stole my vitality when you left.
I wonder why you came to my life in first place?
You harpooned my heart with your deceptive enigma,left my heart aching for merciness,for air to life but you were ruthless and unstoppable. I pretend to feel but i feel nothing beacause now i am nothing.
I wonder did you felt atleast little broken by torturing me?
You slash my wounds and serrate it deep just to left it ajar. Vulnerable and inconspicuous.
i was left like that for eternity waiting for someone to heal me but nothing happens.
I wonder maybe in multiverse it is possible?
You defiled our love with your nasty and petite thought. That's how you define love?
do you even know love?have you ever felt the vibe which i used to feel?
I wonder will love be able to provide serenity anymore?
But now that you gone i don't want to hold back.I want to live and cherish the profoundness and elegency life provides but you purloin a piece of my soul and now i am fading in nothingness.
And I wonder why you had to leave..
I wonder if it would be better with you around here...
I wonder if you are doing fine or faking youself....
and i wonder and wonder and wonder
and it continues....forever.

I still remember
The smell of those little jasmines
Tucked between my mother's long hair
Whenever she pulls me in
A long, warm embrace.
My father's sweaty shirts
Released an odour I avoided once,
But now, I reminisce them always
Beside the gratitude for his sweat and toil.
My mouth waters so bad
When the oh-so-familiar aroma
Of spices and love
Emanates from the little stove in the kitchen
The soothing scent of coconut oil
From those graying hairs
And the wrinkled hands of my grandma
Kneeling the dough with practised perfection.
I wish I could forever remember
The orange candies and their tangy scent
Which my grandpa extends
After a long wait, and his long day at work.
Oh! How I'd run to meet him at the doorstep
Eager to open his closed fist with my tiny hands!
The smell of petrichor
Of the first rains my brother and I
Drenched ourselves in
Without telling our parents!
And how badly we were scolded
Tucked under stubborn blankets
While tossing and turning in fever afterwards.
I still flinch, recalling
The pungency of the cough syrup
Pushed down my little throat after hours of force and tugging!
The smell of old books recovered from the attic
Which I caressed, like my little siblings
Maybe with a little more love.
People say, smells are manifestations of memories.
Indeed, they keep them alive
Whenever they're lost in between
the chambers of our aging heart.

Maybe we are a little too much obsessed with the idea of having everything till the day we die, and often, forget what it really feels to love things in that exact moment.

and yet,
you don't see me.

You look at me,
you say I'm broken,
But you never see
the shape I cut
myself to,
Was only so that
I could fit you.
You stare at me
and call me incomplete,
but you refuse to see
the parts I threw,
Just so in me
I could keep
a part of you.
