Here is to writing...

Here is to writing…

I want to write about forgiveness and pain, about expectations and rewards, about surprises both good and bad. I have spent 28+ years of my life on this earth. I have cried in the caresses of my bed sheets and hugged the walls. I have both given and received surprises and I have endlessly suffered from my expectations in the wait of a reward. How come then, I have no insightful answers. Surely,…

I am not authentic

I am not authentic, so I wore a hat.

Some nights I look up in the sky and re-realise how many specks of light adorn it.

That same instance I think of myself; I try to glance inside and there is darkness. Darkness not because of something dark or evil that I hold within me but because there is so much I do not understand about myself. For example I do not understand where my anger or empathy comes from. I do not understand how I can…

What's in a Name? Spoken Word

What’s in a Name? Spoken Word

Last night I had the privilege of performing  in the Hamilton Slam Poetry competition.  It was put on for the New Zealand National Poetry Day and guess what? I was awarded the second place!

What an exhilarating experience.

If you are interested, below is the link to the poem I performed :)

Please leave your comments or Likes on the video, and help me prepare for the Regionals.

8/07/2014 - A poem about change

I am changing as I write, into something unknown to me

Tonight if I fail to stop, all will be lost on me.

  Tomorrow when I wake up, I will be someone, I don’t know

and like this I will live my life, till one day, questions will all glow,

in the darkness of my mind, in the deep recesses of my heart.

No one could give me solace then, not my words, not your touch,

I will be a prisoner and the…

Come India, Let's All Hate Arvind Kejriwal

Come India, Let’s All Hate Arvind Kejriwal

Originally posted on Puns and Roses:

Funny country, ours is. We love to hate. We are so fed up of our own miserable problems and pathetic administration that we just need a media-created effigy to direct our hatred and burn. Beyond logic. Beyond rationale. Beyond the levels of tolerance and sophistication that one can expect from a country that boasts itself as the world’s largest democracy.

That's how it is

That’s how it is

To fall in love, to be in love and to sustain it. A lyrical pondering, a poetic answer.

Cardboard Box

Cardboard Box - A Poem for the day

Even though the grey clouds

Bring out the peacock in my heart…

A long spell of rain,

Tends to wash down more than I can bear.

Just as the overly priced couture,

Tardily sitting in my closet,

Now gives me a worthless stare.

And suddenly the whole room around me turns into a cardboard box,

A dull sullenness fills every nook of it.

The ocular reality is now directed by my brain

To make sense of…

Blood Eclipse

Blood Eclipse Poetry.

Blood Eclipse

  I cast my shadow on you;

I will protect you.

I will colour myself in you

and you in me

and us in something more amusing than love

I dont have a word for it…

But I will name a word for you

I will create what you will call home

and where you will be my very own.

If I ever try to sell all this to you,

in the name of love: Never look back

So absurd, this love. I don't know any part of myself that you know, You know nothing of the colours in which I see you…

Love

Love Something poetic, everyday this month to celebrate the National Poetry Month

Truth be told,

it is my inner voices

that move me

more than anything else.

  Truth be told,

I deeply care about you

because I have loved myself

  Hello everyone!

Yesterday I was in the beautiful northern North Island – New Zealand. The country is sheer poetry.

I came across this crater shaped sand dune and decided this was the spot from where I am going to announce my wish to celebrate the National Poetry month.

As she watched from her tower window,

He was sketching bright portraits on the concrete floor below.
