Emptiness

-


It's 4 am and you are still awake. 

Those  eyelids are all numb after having hours of inconsequential session of Overthinking. And now there's nothing to think for. 

It's okay. 


 It's 6am in the morning. 

The aroma of your fresh dark coffee is not making you excited.And you are still laying in your bed and staring at the roof. 

It's okay. 


It's 10am, you are scrolling your phone. 

Those hilarious memes aren't even giving punches in your belly. You shut your phone off. And now you are all blank. 

It's okay. 


It's now midday. The special mom made menu isn't giving you butterflies and You don't know why. 

It's okay. 


It's almost 2pm.You have missed your power nap, And gazing through the window at nowhere. 

It's okay . 


It's 4pm, you are on terrace and trying to figure those disarrayed clouds. 

The last leaf left on the autumn tree is struggling to hold the thin twig. And your eye is stuck at those countless leaves that are camouflaged with dust. You don't know what to think. 

It's okay. 


It's 7 pm, you are almost lost in nothing. You are all paused at a line for an hour. Your heart is all heavy, but you can't feel anything. 

It's okay. 


It's 11pm , you are thinking about the magic of an 11:11 wish. But you have nothing to wish for. You just try to sleep, but you can't. 

It's okay. 


It's almost midnight, you have your headphones plugged in and your soothing playlist is on. But you are struggling in an unknown chaos. 

It's okay. 


It's again 4am and you are still roaming in emptiness. But this time you are not blank. You have figured out that even emptiness is not all empty and there resides an unheard story to which even you are unknown.

 And finally you fall asleep.

A Poem on Love

-

Out of all the things I am afraid of The one thing that terrifies me the most is the idea of me not writing a poem on love So, how do you write a poem on love? From which dictionary do you find the exact words to express the feeling of being in love? How many lines would be enough to sum up the mystical feeling that runs the humankind? How many synonyms shall I use for love which itself shows up in numerous ways? Shall I only write about the glories & grand gestures of love? Or shall I write about the dark pit where lovers fall into when the love itself slips away? How will I ever write about love when half of the population is either infatuated, lustful or just looking for something casual? How will I ever write about love when the dating apps are swarming in the number? How will I ever find that kind of love on which thousands of poetries are already written? Where will I ever find the perfect love story on which bollywood movies are being made? Will I ever ...

Truly Yours

  The days after you were gone I woke up with a void in my chest, I walked with an emptiness in my soul, And the butterflies in my stomach had died a painful death, A shattered puzzle with missing pieces,I guess. The brighter the sun started to shine,the heavier the void became. As if a ball of unknown mass had been kept hidden in the void and it kept pulling me down, I didn’t fight rather I let the invisible tentacles of the unknown mass grow on my skin and blood, while all I can feel was the void enlarging itself and finally enveloping me in its dark embrace.   The months after you were gone I visited your gravestone …. I walked through the streets alone, attempting to trace back our long faded steps on the dust of time The journey was no less tougher than climbing one of those gigantic mountains, I bet. I noticed the tiny creepers and ants who had found home at your place, And I am so jealous of it… When the soft beams of the sun touched your...

Me and The monster

  I used to ask people, If they’ve seen any monster. To my utter delight, I always got varieties of answers. Some said,It hides under my bed, As the colour of the sky changes from blue to black, It gets stronger and stronger. Some said,it follows me in the darkness, When I switch off the light in my room, It extends its muscular hands to choke me down. Some said, It’s swinging in the huge banyan tree at the backyard of my house, With the arrival of winter evenings, It gets thirstier for fresh scarlett blood. Some even said, It haunts kids,who don’t like to eat vegetables, and skip their lunch. Some said, His eyes are red like burning ember, and nails are sharper than a samurai’s sword But no one told me about the monster I always encounter. Yes,I have seen it. Not just once,but twice maybe thrice ,maybe more, Neither under my bed nor in the darkness that always follows, It’s inside me, roaring, screaming and calm at the same time. I’ve see...
