A picture hangs in my kitchen
A child stares down at me
A lavender bow in her hair only partially succeeds
And her eyes do not reveal what she needs

A child stares down at me
Steam obscures the room behind her
And her eyes do not reveal what she needs
As she presses small palms against the pane

Steam obscures the room behind her
Her mother is not nearby
As she presses small palms against the pane
Would my tears help?

Her mother is not nearby
A picture hangs in my kitchen
Would my tears help?
A lavender bow in her hair only partially succeeds.
Nights after nights
I stay awake, dreaming you

All the moments we spent together
All theΒ  memories we shared,
You left me alone to rememberΒ 
Shattering everything I cared.

Time stolen away,
Still I stand and stay.

Open my eyes and see the shore
Where we used to meet before.

Your touch saved me from the past,
Your smile brought me back to life,

Your love was my drug,
Your smell I miss the most.

All are fading away
Still I stand and stay.
When our most beloved one desserts us, everything seems lifeless. The pain intensifies a thousand time when the reason is unknown.
I look around
And see the broken pieces of glass
The failure I have brought.

Tears in my eyes,
Blood in my hand,
Hope drains out of me
So does bleed my heart.
For the failure I have brought.

In the midst of the glass ,
A little soil is left,
Here I want to rest,
Rest for the rest.

Though a little is left,
A little life in me,
A little soil beneath,
All drained out
With the failure I have bought,

I want to rest ,
Rest for the rest of life
Rest for the rest of time.
Failure is inevitable in life . But sometimes innumerable failures and disappointment causes one to lose the last drop of hope. Again giving up is okay sometimes rather than losing everything.
Is it death?
It isn't that bad.
From the roads and rush
Horns and noise,
To this serenity
And eternal silence .


Time to rest
As the sun within me sets,
My time on earth ceases.


They will be fine, I hope
My love , don't you cry
Take care of my little angels


Strange reluctance
Throughout my body.
Too tired to open my eyes
But I must see this,
New world
New life.



I see the white
I hear the silence
I feel the shivering
Across my heart.


The white room
The white bed
In between
I am the living dead


This isn't death
But surely is worse.
I see their anxious eyes
Waiting for me to wake.

Truth thrown at me like pebbles
Pain that I have to take.


As the morphine
Fades away ,
Burn sharpened from
Knee to thigh.


Heart crumbles in pain
Not for the lost leg
But for the coming days.



I wish I was dead
But a burden I remain.
Road accidents are everyday incident of present world. The pain and agony of a victim of road accident is described
I am born from the ash

Every time I die.

I fall from the way

Again I try.
Failure is inevitable in the earthly life. But the one who can overcome the failure and again stand up is the successful.
Heavy air and black clouds
Covered the lovely blue sky
Maybe the sky isn't lovely at all,
Just dust , smoke and dirt
Like your rotten heart.

Words old and stale,
Pollutants running through the vein
Not a dint of space , just breath of grief
Rotten world, people rotten
And your rotten heart.

Breath, breath and breath
Till you breath no more
No dream, no hope, no life no lies
No love anymore.

I live , you smile
I die , you'll smile the same
Got no space in your rotten heart
Just a pawn in your game.
Support of the loved one helps us surpass every obstacles. Similarly, her ignorance can leave us dead inside. Everything around us then appears to be fake and polluted.

An impressionistic word painting. An original.
Do you ever wonder
if the painter
tires of his colors?
I died today all alone
I died today and no one cared
I died today everyone went on with their lives
I died today no one even noticed
I died today and everyone seems a little bit happier
I died today there's no heaven or hell
I died today and I'm just as alone as I was in life
jealousy is the root of evil
once said, there is no retrieval
