nothing like waking up to momma’s cooking, (never mind though I’m a ganiyen, whose cooking are you waking up to?) the clothes she would take off her back for you and she would, she would take your tears and let them fall down her own face if she could, nothing like momma’s love, and oh!…… Continue reading Momma’s Love
Simple Life
Out in the fields where the grass is green, Out in the open, where you can smell the wind and feel it’s taste. And the sounds of the birds chirping is music to the ears. Nothing flashy nor fancy, Only a simple life. No crave for attention, No craze for perfection, Just a sense of…… Continue reading Simple Life
Ready.
All in the hope that you’ll wait for me,Till I’m ready, I kept myself busy with trying to hide my spots and scars, For the stains on my previously white gown I had sown a similar colour of cloth on them, Because I knew you were waiting for me, I even wrote the words you…… Continue reading Ready.
The Muted Crowd
You don’t hear them speak, You don’t hear their cheer, They don’t give any reaction. But they are watching. They will not blink, surely they stare. They don’t look engaged but even so they are engaging. You catch their eye, surely they are looking. You have their attention, even their admiration. Yet without words. The…… Continue reading The Muted Crowd

I choose principles and convictions over what is trending. You bet that was damning. At this point I am pretty “damn-aged” But who cares! Like I said damn…… Continue reading I’d be Damned
Stargazer
I wonder what constellations would say if they could move their lips, I wonder if I would understand them, I wonder if our secrets would be for keeps, Or if it would be in the spotlight for the whole world to see, I wonder if I’ve missed my shooting star, So I that I could…… Continue reading Stargazer

A Walk Down The Aisle?
Sigh! A walk down the aisle, Do I have to? I waited for you for twenty, thirty, something years and I have to walk? Who makes these rules? Putting one foot in front of the other, syncing with the tune. Trying to keep my excitement in check, while acting prim and proper. I must have…… Continue reading A Walk Down The Aisle?
Dreamlover
Perhaps it’s not a terrible thing to be a dreamer, If I have learnt anything it is to never pay too much attention to tropes and stereotypes glamorized and made a mockery of by Hollywood, Perhaps it’s a good thing to dream, To let your mind wander so far away from your present, When I…… Continue reading Dreamlover
