By the dam when the sun disappears and moon’s so dull You fear the lull Did you try and build a dam through air ?! You befriend the sky and fear the lull,When the sun disappear and moon’s so dull,The wedge-wood turning cerulean,Stars in trapeze herculean,The fear of surviving the night,All consuming shadows in white, Instead, […]

Words like mediocrity wriggle through Misty mind flushed in mediocrity needlessly inks Mediocrity of winter hangs like switched-off fairy lights,Words like mediocrity wriggle throughswallowed thoughts —Life runs on the highway,Walks by quaint roads,Loiters around bushy by-lanes,Bylines of fate are the diminishedStatutory Warnings on end-pageSurrogate Adverts…. It takes a sudden turn when — They, in their Dior Tuxedos andPuma runners, sprint toChoose Gucci over […]

If you ask me, ‘where were you’? I will answer, ‘why? here’ — If you ask me, ‘where were you’?You will mean, where my mind was,I will answer, ‘why? here’ — But will have travelled to the stars,Hovered around meteors and clung to the milky ways, when they showered on the globe,Slipping down on hue-abstracted drenched earth,When you will […]
