When alone, away from the commotion, the paradoxical loneliness I do not abuse time; being burdened with it since the first breath Chasing the intense mirage, but dreams just turn into sands, buried deep there in the midst of nowhere No moral compass, but morality wrapped around the mind like a punishment I am not alone, all along, each soul has acquired the cosmic magic, … Continue reading Not Alone in a Lonely World
There are more spaces in the heart It is where feelings find abode Filled with myriad thoughts Through the prism of your heart Feelings are reflected in many hues Reflected in the eyes are true feelings Waiting for the one who understands One who knows how to unlock the door Walk through the high arched corridors Feel all the spaces of the heart And remain … Continue reading Sacred Space

It is tiring to seek and bring back the forsaken moments Some journey cannot be planned while being true to yourself Time has transformed the soul, quite different from earlier reflections Unrecognizable to the forlorn eyes; now comfortable with the melancholy Breathing that familiar air, now only few breaths can survive This world has a consistency of a different nature of emotions Changes have unravelled … Continue reading Directions
When two hearts are in sync And time fades away into oblivion Feelings transcend and travel further Toward the desired destination Lands at the doorstep and knocks Urging you to open the door in earnest Hearts have already surrendered And entrusted with the precious keys You can feel the dazzling smile And the twinkle in the eyes No barriers are insurmountable For the hearts that … Continue reading Two Worlds
