Childhood
By YASHNA in Poetry | Reads: 363 | Likes: 1
Riding down to memory lane, Began when we got our name. Remembering the good old days, When we wished to busy ourselves , Finding our own creative ways. When going to school was fun, Loving the break having jam and bun. When scribbling on walls was an art, And saving all these in our heart. When pla  Read More...

Rhyme of an apocalypse
By Arun Dev Kumar in Poetry | Reads: 669 | Likes: 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  Read More...

A Hermit's Hymn
By Arun Dev Kumar in Poetry | Reads: 734 | Likes: 0
Walking down a path unknown; My bare feet scorched; But humming a song; The path dark and gloomy, it wasn’t torched.   Stumbling over gentle stones and massive rocks; Trembling with fear, I kept humming the song; Unwary, I kept stepping with confidence; A Hermit’s journey it was, n  Read More...

Will you still call yourself beautiful?
By Iram Fatima in Poetry | Reads: 523 | Likes: 0
If each and every time you become mute for a while after  backbiting about someone, Eventually , Wouldn't you be dumb for an entire lifetime? If every time you lose your hearing ability for not raising your voice  against the wrong ,  Wouldn't you be deaf for an entire life? If each  Read More...

The Four walls
By Iram Fatima in Poetry | Reads: 261 | Likes: 0
The Four walls of the house I live in, are not clean, They are covered with layers of dust and dirt. The walls are decorated with grey and black wallpapers, They are covered with paintings, But paintings of an unsettled household and unhealthy relationships, They are covered with photographs, But th  Read More...

Fallen
By A.G. in Poetry | Reads: 426 | Likes: 0
I have fallen from a height Where nothing seems right I have fallen into dark Where i can only see us being apart I have fallen into a empty space Where life seems to move in a pace I have fallen inside a hole Where feelings are sold in a bowl I have fallen inside a bright light Where my eyes can on  Read More...

The Pandemic Lockdown
By Thomas Roberts in Poetry | Reads: 410 | Likes: 0
When the pandemic lockdown started, this was something new, A lot of thought on what to do, worries were a few. Started honing on our musical skills,  With evening bible study, Dancing was the exercise for the mind and the body. Late to bed and late to rise, was at that time the norm, But fol  Read More...

Grief is as normal as you and me.
By sneha rathi in Poetry | Reads: 354 | Likes: 1
Grief is like a rope Like tangled mass that has had no space to unravel It just tightens itself with every try Try to free myself from this, to heal. For everyday I am one less memory from you For everyday I come home to mom crying For everyday is harder than the previous one For I'm so tired of t  Read More...

COVID - 19 Heroes
By Thomas Roberts in Poetry | Reads: 226 | Likes: 0
As I retire for the night and go under the sheet, But kick it off, switch on the fan unable to bear the heat. Then try as I might for the rest of the night, But cannot fall asleep, With Covid-19 running in my mind, I try to start counting sheep. Now in my mind these unruly woolies all begin to scat  Read More...

Frailty.
By Christel in Poetry | Reads: 575 | Likes: 2
What is life, but like a flower, Blooms today, fades tomorrow, Taken away whenever, by the sower, What have we, from the future to borrow? Tossed to and fro, like the chaff in the wind, Man races for worldly riches, Every minute, the heart is pained and hardened, By endless plaints and wishes. Eve  Read More...

Bonds.
By Christel in Poetry | Reads: 643 | Likes: 0
Bonds. Life is filled with bonds we make, That sometimes last for long, Most often, for granted we take, Feeling nowhere to belong. Man is a social being, they say, A being that longs for love and care, Many a times expectations end in dismay, Life is blamed for being unfair. The heart fails to di  Read More...

This place.
By Sahana Agarwal in Poetry | Reads: 244 | Likes: 0
I’ve been real quite since I got here  This place is overflowing  With words I can’t bear  In the corner there’s a woman who looks hypnotised  She’s been working all day long  To keep her family fed and satisfied  A little girl is sitting there  Read More...

Herd of Clowns

Was it me or was it you? While our love faced a breakdown I could feel us passing Through a herd of clowns You, me, he and she All of us just pretended to be Before we could say goodbye Our real selves died hard under the sea Instead of coming out as a wave outside You were watching all of this, ar  Read More...
