Love self

She lost herself  Little by little, In search of warmth  Her heart filled With agony of laughter, Her owns spilled Words of fear Of being left out Love being not around Never finding it again. It’s not a person A concept of whom She built in heart That didn’t get fulfilled. If   বেশি পড়ুন...

Mom
By varun in True Story | পড়ার জন্য : 660 | পছন্দ: 0
"Mom" The nights often feel cold, even though it's the month of May. I shudder awake sometimes, and look around in the darkness. The only person I'm looking for is you. Your touch, calming my senses and telling it's perfectly okay to have these nightmares. Your voice, piercing the dark and soothing  বেশি পড়ুন...

The Good Things—Rediscovering Yourself
By Nitya Swaruba in General Literary | পড়ার জন্য : 654 | পছন্দ: 0
The experience of absolute freedom and the true sense of self comes only in the state of singularity. People of the world have always been good followers.

Rhyme of an apocalypse
By Arun Dev Kumar in Poetry | পড়ার জন্য : 653 | পছন্দ: 0
It came knocking one day, without a call; like the storm uncalled, the trap of a trawl. Hooks like fangs that barge deep within; efface one and then a kin. An isle that was once life, in ecclesiastic peace; where oaks were shade with flowered streets. The clan that escalated, seized by riches; spoil  বেশি পড়ুন...

Firebird!
By Akshay Nagmule in Romance | পড়ার জন্য : 642 | পছন্দ: 0
PRESENT! I woke up with a hue of compound confusions, surrounded by visible yet silent tears and all I could sense was a void within myself. Strange how I could sense a void but myself. It did take me a while to realise what I felt and moreover; why!? Indulgence onto thinking ‘Why do I love c  বেশি পড়ুন...

December
By Nandini Chakrabarti in General Literary | পড়ার জন্য : 641 | পছন্দ: 0
December scares me a little, curtails me and forbids me to live free. I’m unsure if it’s anxiety and fear of losing somebody because all past decembers have been mournful that way. I try to keep myself busy and at work; so sometimes I end up overworking myself. The stress hurts my should  বেশি পড়ুন...

Scented Candles
By Adhithya GR in Thriller | পড়ার জন্য : 630 | পছন্দ: 0
It feels like waking up from a Coma! Everything is so disoriented and my vision is skewed. I feel a sharp sting in my abdomen. I look down and all I see is a gash that looks like something blunt smashed across my ribs. My stomach is not as bloated as they usually seem. But what is that ringing noise  বেশি পড়ুন...

When I stand in the shower, Unclothing ...wet scraps of linen, Naked and alone... Sometimes, stroking myself With the reminisce of you, softness!
