My two sides make me unique Give me the power to decide the fate Some win some lose with every toss For what I am made of For what is inscribed on me People desire me I am precious if I am the only kind They collect and trade me For much more than what I value I travel from hand to hand Bringing a … Continue reading Coins
When the pen goes dry Words fall short Dreams come to a halt Future moves further away Identities defamed The past blends with present Present looses relevance Sanity waits patiently Screams open a tear flood Souls leave the body Body rots Ethics get buried Love wanders on the streets Relationships are orphaned Mind winds itself till it can’t escape Silence breaks the long chatter Life … Continue reading Handover
Nothing in the world corrects itself Time is a healer but too pricy It punctures the fabric of life Leaves you healed but incomplete Scars do not remind enough Of the days when the pain was struck They fall hidden in the chaos of life Only realizing when someone points out Banished from your own frame of mind All your Identities lose their battle Get … Continue reading Mistakes
