21/F/India “I am not one and simple, but complex and many.” / ― Virginia Woolf
_This house_,                 my senile cage, my belittling chains _This house_,                 my strangling gag _This house_,                 freedom is mythical _This house_,                 tearing the littlest of my escapes _This house_,                 making me ponder my next breaths _This house_,                 where my tears are insipid _This house_,                 where my cries are inane _This house_,                 my nightmares' tender handiwork _This house_,                 where I'm the nemesis _This house_,                 my fated funeral flower _This house_,                 the gravestone of an impending exigency.

_I am_         Nothing more than something                     Nothing less than anything         _I stand_ on the line between My brightest fears and        my darkest strengths                 Wind wakes a wanderer                           Current flows through a sailor           _I have neither and I am neither_ Forward is bitter              Backward is foolish                          Left and right, Death's disguise             Muddled clarity, invisible light Multiple reflections,            Maybe it's broken glass. _The cliff waits for my decision                 But for now,                               I STAND STILL._

Needle-Less
-Light- _Darkness_ pours into me in shimmering rivulets, -Is- thrumming in staccatos of carnal dour; -All- begging me to yield, to burn, to drown in its mercy, -That- But it knows not that a flicker is all it takes to _light_ -Remains-

Illuminate within
_"...to live again."_ As I meld back into the scarred infinity, daffodils blossom in my frostbitten dimples giggles run wild, over the slumbering reminiscence, the tide's ebbing away slow and sure, I kiss the raindrops goodbye, yet, the child inside, never seems to die. _"I wish..."_

Evening smile
_Withered and within a dying breath and yarns of endless ephemerae, like thunder, like lightning, igniting ages of delusion;_ __A fear.__ _Astral and adrift, I  bloom in adventures, yet amble in ink of hundred hues, like a bubble, like a feather, lazing in prismatic pastels;_ __A vagabond.__ _Etched and enshrouded  , a fiery trail of my footprints I have yet to reach, like a fantasy, like a nightmare, calling, in dusk-soaked whispers;_ __A journey.__ A life ahead.

Umbra of sunrise
For months, I've been wandering, through winding silences hoping I'd find your chaos one day.

Locked
_I watch her. I watch her, as the night drapes over her window, as the stars tangle in her hair, I watch her, as the chiseled imperfection of the moon stirs her inky musings, I watch her , in the uncertain glow of the dying candle, in the torrent of tattered thoughts, I watch her, watching me through the silver-smeared glass, through the pits of colourless brown,                                       I watch her as                                                                           she slowly traces the silence,                                                                    silencing the traces of him._

In the dead of night
Monsoon's panoply,                        a dimpled day's smile;                                   windstrewn        ­      ­                                                gulmohars,                     ­          a blushing brocade,                      'plop'-ing droplets,                            a lilting cadence;                                                 ­       ­      nostalgia                              pervading through                         the silver-scented              ­            puddles of a         paperboat's elation;         July evenings                                                          and                                                trinkets of                          yesterday... .

Hoppípolla
_The day betrays again, Pallor crawls over my entirety Mirrors are no longer the truth Ashen grey swallows the only moon My blood rejoices My tainted, traitorous blood! Your blood. Cascading through my veins Fated to this murk, Shackled to your presence Fading into a daze, slowly, As frost singes this dread No! This will not be my ruin, I will decide my own doom This curse shall be undone! O Count De Ville My dagger shall impale your heart!_ -Mina Harker

Gloaming
Embedded in scarlet folds, between the loops, _simmers_ a tempest repressed; feral tenor of its soundless whispers piercing through the ivory cage contained too long; now a beast _untamed_ dragging its talons across my flesh for the ink it hunts Embedded in scarlet folds, between the loops _rattles,_ a thought... _Unleashed._
