She


She moves in fury,
For she is what fires are made of.
Heart-warming, luscious and yet so fiery.


She smells of stormy afternoons, 
Thunder rattling over rocky seas -
Passionate, raw and raging.


She reads like poetry
Not free-flowing verse.
Mysterious, lyrical and just a little beyond grasp.


She tastes of spring mornings - 
Land-awakening and fresh
With a hint of something new in the air.


She is the darkness before every storm,
The bright light before every sunset, 
And the smell of earth after every rain.



She, is a woman, of her own world.

Silent Screams


In a crowd,
Among known strangers,
I sit behind a wall of unfamiliarity.

Why am I here?
Do they even know who I am?
Do they see my pain through my eyes?

Or do they only see my pink tinted lips, curled upwards?

Hiding behind my laughter and brave words,
Is a world no one notices.

 A melancholic world of mine..
Invisible to all but me.

I run.. I try to hide.. I scream.. I cry!

Do you not see me?
Do you not feel my sadness?
Do you not hear my pleadings?

And as they turn their backs..
I get engulfed by my own sorrow.. silently, slowly but just as surely.

Bitter Sweet Victory

I vehemently seek
The silence of a contented soul.

My mind -
A cacophony of questions
Makes me question my own integrity
Today.. I become my own question.

Am I.. what am I?
A puppet at the hands of love?
A spineless being of love's making?
An oxymoron of my own principles?

I wear
Masks.. vivid, happy, poignant, strong, brave, guiltless..

Hiding behind these dozen faces,
I now search
For that one face that I hide from -
Mine!

You..
Are a question?
My oxymoron?
My hindered love?

The reason behind my relentless restlessness!
The personification of my own weaknesses;
A time I strive to win over.

Victory.. you taste strangely bitter sweet today!
