Today I write; clubbed by shattered dreams, as broken pieces pierce time and space. Today I write; as the water stops flowing, and wails emerge from dried up wells.

Today I write; because … Continue reading 1/30 Today I Write – National Poetry Month 2018
May be someday I too will learn to forget and then it will all be normal. But till then I will let the memories wickedly savor on the wounds little by little.

Adieu! Stephen Hawking it was a brief time…. indeed….. but you took the world through a brief history of time unlike anyone else…. traversing time like no one had to a time when it all started to a point beyond which existence questions our known frame of references… you took us to the big bang and brought us back safe…. and now you leave us … Continue reading Adieu!

I am loyal to my fault but I don’t pull people into my river; even if they know how to swim. the last thing you want is for someone to drown in your river… I mean you cannot even save them.. It’s your river. And I am loyal to my fault. I can see the suffering of another man, like seeing an incandescent lamp burn … Continue reading I am loyal to my fault
The night’s machinery with its countless pieces orbiting an egoistic man’s pale existence… And he thinks he is alive may be…. after all these years I am still waiting….

Today the bells are … Continue reading Favorite Species – #77 of 365 Poems
A long journey in between deep sighs sun rising in a black sky somewhere in the milky way a small star cries flesh bored of burning decides to blossom there is history in between the teeth grinding under every grin that falls Today is a day for long walks days of dreams; so short… that they cannot reach the top shelves of reality Fake faces … Continue reading Please Make Way #76 of 365 Poems
