Hopelessly.

You said you are a swift walker.

but tonight you were at a leisure pace. 

I asked why, you said you need
time to embrace, side by side.

I looked at you with a deep sigh.

I watched your silent footsteps, 
thought I could walk like this,
to endless miles.

My feet won't tire, with you 
souls on rain.

I delve into your eyes 
like a child looking at the emptiness of a starry night,
With the ardour to find a constellation.

But your sky was an alluring labyrinth,
So, I kept silent.

hopelessly.

Deadly Waves

   The train was crossing a river and I was sitting on the step , I could see the waves were dancing through the reflection of glimmering lights, a fine breeze took my mind away and put it in a deep whirl of some painfully awful deep memories. I could hear the rail squeal of the train but my dense mind thought it was my heart beat.                         Suddenly I could feel your arms around me holding me tight as I was flipping away.

I have this strange feeling when I take a photograph of a new place. I think these places must have grown tired of being illuminated by flashlights.

Sometimes I just stop and gaze at the walls; it seems they wanted to be heard and seen so badly and they seem alive in ways more profound than my photographs. At times, I feel I'm capturing images of places already immortalized by a thousand lenses, in different hues and angles. Then, I used to put my phone aside and sit. I realize how nostalgia takes me over for the places I've never been. How I long to capture the devastating pain in the eyes of separated lovers through the string of time, the sadness that holds the world together, not the love. How sadly I yearn to photograph the loneliness of a towering tree standing for years. How deeply I desir...

Deception

Image
Mom why did you concealed the truth from me, That I'm merely a second contender in their eyes? You said I'm worth it, like a priceless piece of art, But now look at me I'm colourless. You said I reminds me of the mighty moon, So you granted me a name A name now forgotten. You said I'm wise, strong and beautiful, So I clung to your words, With an innocent trust. Now I'm nothing Mom, Just shadow on the wall. Weeping upon the terrace  In your moon's gaze, like a helpless child.
