Weltschmerz

Not even wanting to, I'm attracted to all the gloom and cynicism, I suddenly feel myself engulfed by the deep, mystifying truths of life. Are these even truths or mere hallucinations? Or maybe, I'm just ran into a bout of Maudlin weariness? Not being able to understand even the simplest facts, I feel baffled by...

Woe

When you don't have people to talk to, Your gregariousness doesn't count. You'll anyway have to live in solitude. The problems you have don't count, when you don't have people to talk to, You'll have to bear them single-handedly. And shroud yourself in gloom, and still be happy. That's how this world works, pal. They'll...

Extirpate

With my head dropped towards my feet, I'm lumbering past the trees. With this dizzy head, I can barely notice the rush of waves Even though I try to, I can't run away from my problematic life. These issues extirpate me. Even beside this sea, I can't let go of the troubles. With every passing...

Crestfallen (cleave poem)

Empty headed and crestfallen: I'm a forlorn figure. All I have to do is to weep: Smile is a foreign concept for me. Flabbergasted by the level of selfishness that engulfs everyone: I've by now taught myself, that my mind doesn't work smart. I feel myself a dumb, bumbling fool: I feel blindfolded by the...

Seasonal Life

One brief spring, Musical with the song of robin and mocking-bird. One summer rich in fruits and roses, One autumn of gold and crimson. A chilly winter, stabbing my body with icy winds, Accompanied with the worst nights of my life, Those insomniac nights. Stargazing was the best timekiller. Darkness promised me, to be by...

Fiasco

The walls of my mind are painted thick grey. It's all so gloomy. No body seems to be this way. I am not able to just drag myself out of this pit, I'm trapped in. My plans are turning dust, They're turning into a fiasco. My mind no more seems to be functional. I feel...

Sombre days

With the cars honking at their loudest, I can see flowers drooping and folding into buds. The sun has already hid behind the horizon and the last purple hues have been overpowered by the azul. It is stormy. Even as the traffic is rushing, I can see cars hiding behind one another, honking at their...

Woe

You know it's getting even harder to live here. I don't have a reason to bear this harsh reality. These days, the Sun seems to run and hide away behind the clouds in the afternoon only. No one can even lend an ear to my sorrowful, hopeless life. Why will they, anyways? They say it...

Glum

A relaxed ambience of the mocktail longue, A soul with mixed emotions, A ring just beside the champagne bottle. Shining and glistening, Just as much as the ring did in the glass holder. Here it all started. Sitting and waiting for a dance partner, You landed on the chair just in front of mine. Silence...

Cessation

As the last yellow ribbons of sun melted over the horizon, It felt cold. I could see a thread line separating the two skies, slowly dissolving. I feel totally incomplete today, when you've already left me, for the stars. They were seductive, perhaps? So much, that they snatched you away from me. Now a days...
