Unchartered

Oh Every word you say is a step you take further away This fear is too deep rooted for any feelings to be kept at bay Oh I’m already knee deep in this mud and it’s only May Oh the phoenix will rise from the ashes, but will still be marked with gashes Of past mistakes, multiple retakes It’ll forgive, never forget Oh the people who leave are never the people you first met Oh it’s like the earthen pot that you bought years ago Beautifully intact but still left with scratches from every-time it almost broke Oh it’s like the angel who flew through the depths of hell Came back with shattered wings and they’d taken off her golden bell Oh it’s the notebook from middle school With slight small traces of the girl who bullied you Oh it’s the old badminton racket With the broken wire and even when they tried no one could catch it Oh when you take the candle out of the lamp You leave stained glass alone to forever be miserable, gloomy, damp And when you take the girl out out the city You can never ...

Halfway - A poem - By Suhani - Guest writer for May 🌼

Image
Everyday, I wondered When I would climb, when My head and my Body would reach the Clouds, as I would have crossed Halfway. I dreamt what it would be like to be Free and Light, but it seems as though such a world is superficial Where constant reminders of broken bonds and cackles from herds I was never in Ceased to exist. Such reality lies only in the mind. happiness, Peace, glee are only notions. Everyday , I wonder, when I would reach the top, and my eyes would see A sky full of stars. And only while peeking did I realize, I’m stuck Halfway and can only wistfully wish on the little rays of light that fall on me out of sheer luck, for my perfect world to be True.

3 days in May - A poem

Tastes like summer, drops of condensation on your mirror Pages will turn, under the sun you’ll burn Chicken and rice for dinner, underdogs will become winners Smells like it’ll rain soon, your life is about to change too There’s beauty in going alone, hair flying out the window There’s puddles on cricket grass and an ice cold drink in my green glass Feels like shimmering stars and dances in small lit up bars Open the box, surprises will spill out and lead you to eighteen diamond door knobs Cheer, parade around a bus and fill the cup with all your trust Sounds like the clouds are embracing each other, skies will light up Replays of texts every second I get, the biggest surprise that I’ve ever met This shuttle has to go over the net and remember my footprints on soil that’s fresh and wet Looks like the huge red circle I didn’t know I was walking in, meets the start today and we celebrate this glorious win Light bulbs are replaced, people are placed Books will be bought, lessons will be t...

Bliss - A poem

Image
  Tonight is littered with several camera flashes in the balcony under a glowing moon Your favourite chips are on the table, the girls are huddled in the bathroom I’ll sip coffee in the snow globe mug, I’ll get you ice for your coke Laughs will bubble, girls will giggle Tired eyes, but somehow we’ll stay afloat Sway in sync with this beat, go around the circle, what do you want to eat? Swap heels with me, dance your way through this entire playlist Dinner at midnight under the warmth of fireflies in the park, bumbling under summer mist Animal patterned shirt, frilly floral skirt Face glistens with sweat, but the night isn’t over yet Make the music louder, remember the choreography Whip out the white board and Pictionary cards, just be careful while playing darts Down ten chicken wings and spend the entire night dancing Hugs at the door, cards splayed out on top of the rug on the floor Shiny hair, summer skin Tell us where you’ve been Fill my mug with cola, she brought cookies and h...

Blossoms of a memory whose roots no longer grow in me - A poem

Image
What did happen is long gone But I needed some inspiration so our story is what I’ve landed on I was chat searching for that link my boy sent me but stumbled upon our old home Hovered over an old text and soon began to roam Fresh into the gleam of teenage years I warned you every-time I was going to swear and apologised after Little chits decorated with couplets we’d sprinkle around your house Every clue that led me to the end was a vow It was out of a movie, baking bread, movie night, crying over Fred I was Kelly from Just add magic Started like a movie, so the ending had to be tragic I know you’d roll your eyes reading this But I kept giving, kept nurturing your secret gardens But they never bore fruits for me I stood for years under that tree, shaking it hoping I could shower in your flowers But he came around, got everything for free We loved the same things We’d pick a theme and decorate your bulletin Your Instagram password is safe with me My discord addiction is now yours to kee...
