WILL YOU BE THERE ?

 

Sometimes we just crave for someone's presence


When a thousand thoughts cross the mind,
The time passes just to rewind,
Will you be there ?
When the night is dark
And the day is darker,
When the words are sharp
But the thoughts are sharper,
Will you be there ?
When in the best of situations
Nothing seems right,
When the days are scarier than the night,
Being my twilight,
Will you be there ?
When in cloudy skies 
I can't see the moon,
I'll have my own 
When you will be here,
Will the time come soon ?
And when the stars align
The moments are rare,
When we both have time
Will you be there ?

Dying with Borderline

The face I see in the mirror of the woman looking at me feels foreign. I look at her while I dissociate. Are we the same? Do I live inside of her, or does she control me? Every waking moment, a thought creeps up: Is she sane? Am I ruining her life? What if I merge with her? Is that even possible? We look the same, yet we have no sense of familiarity. I fail to recognize her on most days. The picture she took a week ago seems so different; is that her real smile? Does her nose crinkle up? The ghost of me walks through the hallways of the college, smiling at people, sometimes strangers.  I have lost all control over her. We are two different beings now. The third one who recognizes her shows up some days, but we don't let her stay. She dared to call me a monster while all I did was protect her. She knows she doesn't deserve love. We know it's never coming our way. Her trying to look pretty only gets her looked at, stared at, and objectified. But we know that's the closest...

A bliss and surge in D

I happened to be alive. I happened to be aware and hoped to be conscious and in control of myself when I decided to visit D2. What is D2? Where is D2? It’s nowhere. Nowhere can be anywhere; anywhere with no name attached to it, anywhere that’s not anticipating to be noticed, anywhere which is desperate for your attention, anywhere may be beyond within or within beyond, or it may just be no where. What I did was – give a stage to my imagination and let it create a figment. Then I included it in my thoughts, provided it my flesh and soul. It started to get a structure as it found shelter against reality within me. I call it D. But my imagination, showcasing its dominance and control of my thought and eventually my reality made me believe, and I still do believe that D is not complete yet. It is enough the way it is. It is content being a part of me. Still it’s awaiting to embrace something that’s not me and yet it is nowhere. I am really sanguine about finding that. I would like D to fee...

Immoral Clown

          I have the conscience of a human. This much I know for I seem to have memories. I know about memories and what they are from my memories itself. It is such a loop that the proof of my knowledge and the reason - why I am the way I am consists within the reason itself. It’s like I’m inside water and I know that I’m inside water, but without actually understanding that the ecosystem thrives beyond too. It must not be making sense right? Well, it definitely won’t for I am a clown. No disrespect to those in the human society; I am talking about being a Clown Fish. It’s strange to even imagine but that’s who I am - now. It’s like Kafka’s metamorphosis. No, I won’t flatter myself. That’s an incorrect comparison and you’ll know why soon.                          I remember being a lawyer. The profession surmounted to me somehow sleeping peacefully every night; but my days were always busy. I ...

The Gaza Conflict & India's stand on it.

 In the shadow of history's darkest chapters, Gaza and Israel have become synonymous with suffering, their names etched in the annals of human conflict with a permanence that belies the fleeting nature of headlines. Since the fateful day of October 7, 2023, the world has borne witness to a tragedy of unimaginable proportions, one that transcends the boundaries of geography and ideology to pierce the collective conscience with a searing intensity. From the blood-stained streets of Gaza to the bomb-scarred neighborhoods of Israel, the images that have emerged from this latest chapter in the ongoing saga of violence and oppression are as haunting as they are heartbreaking. Each frame, each pixelated snapshot of human misery serves as a stark reminder of the fragility of life and the brutality of war. Yet, amidst the rubble and despair, there is a glimmer of hope—a hope born from the resilience of the human spirit, from the unwavering resolve of those who refuse to be silenced in the f...

A Seamless urge to meet

  Will see you on the other side of this world soon What if I burn the whole world  To take the emergency exit  That leads me to you  What if I freeze everything  Including time at the time  When I was with you What if this world ends  For us to meet again  At a place away from this place  Where the moon has your face  Where your footprints are what the rivers trace  Where the rainbow doesn't have an end  Where being together is the trend  Where the eternity begins Where the world loses and love wins  Where every cloud has your shape  Where your colours are what the skies drape Where everything blends in you  Where nothing is true but you ~Akshita

Labyrinth's Whispers

I walk with shadows on my back,  Down a Boulevard of dreams that crack. Hearts resilient'neath thousand splendid suns,  Yet I shatter all, when my journey's begun.  Anticipating into the unknown, I stride, Embracing antipathy, I hide.  Turning cold, my warmth fades away, Far from kindness, in the darkness I sway.  Close to my bosom, yet distant I roam,  In the eyes of a cyclone, I find my home.  A catastrophe, yet empathy within,  In my poetry, my essence, I begin.  Dire, eccentric and ferocious in my stance.  Indispensable yet obsolete in this dance.  Insignificance, a theme I proclaim.  A distorted image, in the guise of a name.  A nuance of casualty in every line,  A mirage in the desert , obscure and fine.  In this Labyrinth of life I find my role,  In the depths of my soul, I find my console.
