A tribute

Separate from the sun and the stars, There seems to be an angel afloat and afar Igniting in the flicker of burning desires, Embers soaring up and away to the sky and higher. Succumbing to the inner turmoil Heart beats turn mechanical There’s no more desire to see the sun Why does death suddenly feel […]

Look behind those curtains….

Staring away into nothingness Sinking deeper into the abyss everyday No one to confide in, no one to talk to Life has become a hopeless place. Wonderful smiles adorn the faces Lively laughs light up the room But there’s something hidden behind them Pain, despair, despondence and gloom. Holding it together till everything breaks There’s […]

Rebirth

Trapped in a tartarean soul Hidden behind her dark shadows She sits inside a melancholic shroud Filled with petals from a black rose. Her tears form a bottomless pit Her screams compose a haunting melody Watching the world with misty eyes She weaves a basket to hold her memories. Slowly succumbing to her inner paralysis […]

A Lone Drop

a lone drop waltzing its way through the dark claustrophobic tunnel mindless about what lies ahead. feet on releve dangling in air relishing a few seconds of freedom awaiting it’s fateful end. one girl laughing heartily oblivious to the drop’s paltry demise worthless to her royal silk gown. a little one with parched lips her […]

A New Dawn

Sheathed in an orange kimono Embroidered with red rubies A tired evening comes to rest Night plays it’s cool breeze. Adorning a shiny veil of blue hues With a white pearly sheen lace Water covers the soft sand Waves bend with beautiful grace. Dress made of black velvet Embellished with silver diamonds The night sky […]

Who Am I?

Who am I? A wilted flower on the sidewalkA lone tear amidst manyI seem to have lost my essenceIn life’s unfair journey. Who am I? A thorn in a basket of flowersA black smear on whiteIn my relentless pursuit of happinessI’m stuck somewhere between the lines. Who am I? A bug drenched in rainA torn […]

Just a Slap

Forget it, they said.Let it pass, they said. But they didn’t feelThe pain she didA burn on the cheek.They didn’t feelThe shock she didHer heart pierced by steel. It happens to everyone, they said.Women need to tolerate, they said. But she didn’t listenShe was her own warriorWith a resolve that glistened.But she didn’t succumbShe fought […]

….fire

her mind could weave stories like Arachne wove tapestries. her words wrought magic like a melody sometimes tragic. her eyes a mystic journey like a land forgotten by many. and, her soul like oceans of desires consumed by a passionate fire…..🔥 -Ishita Gupta

She lost herself

all she heard was a cacophony of meaningless thoughts and emotionless words. all she felt was a brutal agony laced with acrid tears isolated with haunting fears. all she saw were ghosts of her insanity in broken mirrors and lakes of terror. slowly, she lost herself along the way. slowly, she lost herself in those […]
