Fading through the spaces

Fading through the spaces

In the peace,whispers remain, Of things lost,yet to be claimed  Time stood still,yet we didn’t know, What we had,till it slipped away slow Things I let slip,without a sound Gone,unseen,lost and found  Moving further,into the sight, Leaving pain,a hollow light Lost in the haze of life’s pace, I just let go of  time,without a face…

Language of Stones

Language of Stones

Rolling down, Making hues and sounds, Becoming round and round  The stones….. Sometimes a part of hills, Sometimes on the underneath surface, Some raising their heads in gushing waters, Stones standing still, among the rivulets going down the hills, Different colors, different names, The monuments, the cities drew their names, Redstone used more often, So,more…

The streets speak so

The streets speak so

The streets speak so….. The darkness imminent, The street tube lights continued To glow, The scavengers seen on roads, Dogs, the little girls, braving the Winter seen doing rounds to and fro The municipality staff not seen, Like for them day has not begin, Although it was six in the morning, The roster has not…

Blink

Blink

Feelings they linger,soft and true, In every space,beating with you A whispered thought,a blissful hue, Etched inside,where love once grew Feelings may roar,thoughts may part, Yet they stimulate within the heart A feeling that lingered,love that stayed, Streaked feelings,never faded  Feelings linger where pulse resides, Thoughts bloom where love confides In the hush where pulses…

In peaceful spaces,where whispers dwell, Care blooms,a gentle swell Heart that searches,a soul that cares, Soft sounds when love nears A flicker in the light, Care,it says,it holds tight And in its quiet,hearts align, Care’s soft glow,forever fine Let it decide,let it stay, Care’s peaceful light guides the way A gentle pulse in every breath,…

The Riddle of Life

The Riddle of Life

Birth and death, a mystery profound, Whose hidden truths are never found. When calamity strikes, dark and cold, A thousand questions still unfold. Fate and stars beginto stray, Their promised paths now fade away. The meaning of life seems torn apart, A shadow falls across the heart. Karma’s wisdom starts to shake, Faith itself begins…

The Lake Inside Me

The Lake Inside Me

It’s not simple to begin anew.Not after being lied to,not after loss,when all the work you giveis torn asunder rather than rewarded. Confidence—people talk as if it’s a gift.It isn’t. It’s merely years of woundsmade whole in secret,a river slicing at stone. They address me as a girl.Not because I let them make me up,but…
