Under the same roof Living Like strangers Never did we feel that We are life partners Lack of communications Conflict of emotions Sheer endurance test Life’s complications Why prolong the suffering Why go on struggling Break free and put an end To this situation grueling Sure we hated what we […]

Only You
I was a simple girl, so naive, With twinkling stars in eyes, Fantasizing a prince charming, Adonis look alike, also wise Inadvertently I stumbled upon you And lo ! There was a magic, I almost skipped a heart beat, for This scenario was so dramatic So dramatic that I couldn’t […]
Love is an Emotion
Love is the best emotion one can experience Romantic love empowers us, as we taste heaven Love is the soul of living, heartbeat of life, and helps us share our overflowing joy Love is like digging a well which removes layers of earth It makes a person happy, fresh, and […]
Forever Lost
Moments pass by, In a blur; Blur, like no other, Breath misses count; Countless days and nights, Taken over by gloominess; Gloomy, the mind feels, As it plays memories; Memories, provoking sadness, Wanting to rip out the heart; Heart, where the love lies, Undying and yearning for you; You, my […]

No One Can Deter the Masses
The perfidious political culture is immersed in a mindless loudness Mercilessness is moralized with the politician’s proudness In the shonky sea of subterfuge A human becomes a servile stooge By dealing with the devil These stooges commit a mistake which is horrifyingly huge In this irrational atmosphere of aggression Some […]
Transit is Consistent
In 1654 it took Peter Stuyvesant almost an hour to get to work in what would later be New York City. In 1777 it took Isaac Sears almost an hour to get to work you know where. In 1947 surprise! It took Fiorello La Guardia 45 minutes to get to […]
