When words aren't enough, When words lose control, When words become meaningless, Then silence speaks. When the heart drowns, When the heart gives up, When the heart goes numb, Then silence speaks. When the problem is too big, When the problem eats away, When the problem refuses to go, Then silence speaks. When nothing can [...]

Don’t Let Me Go
I know it's asking For way too much Than what you ever Signed up for. But it would mean a lot, If you don't let me go. I may quarrel. I may fight. I may irritate. I may infuriate. But it would mean a lot, If you don't let me go. I know I am [...]
When Colours Blend
A colour - red, A colour - white, One is bright, One is light. If one can stump, The other can sooth. What happens when they blend? A colour - red, A colour - white, One is warm, One is cool. If one means war, The other means peace. What happens when they blend? A [...]
Fallen, Not Failed
Yes, we lost. We wish we had not. Yes, it's a big blow. We had never expected it to be so. Still, I say, We have fallen, not failed. Yes, it doesn't seem right. Maybe, we should've given a better fight. Yes, we see all those staring eyes, Those people thinking we were all lies. [...]
The Bed Calls
Sitting in the room's center, It makes a pretty picture. Nothing matters inside the room's walls, Once the bed calls. Know that weary day, When you've made too much hay? The body aches to hear The bed's call just near. That soft, sweet voice Asking to make a choice, To leave the day's work behind [...]
This Moment
It's this moment That actually counts. Not the one before, Not the one after. Only this to something amounts. We only get a glimpse To keep in memory's store. Just one chance To live it Or keep wanting for more. So stop looking Hither and thither. For before you know It will be gone. It [...]
Sorry
Five letters Two syllables One small word One big meaning Easy for some Difficult for others Both in terms of Giving and accepting If an excuse, Then nothing. If really meant, Then everything. Can it heal? Not really. But it's a start, So say it. Don't be shy To be sorry. For it is a [...]
Wonder
I often wonder What exactly it was That we shared, That we lived through. Was it just a phase That had to pass by? Or was it something more That we made to happen? When it was there, At times, it made no sense. At times, it was more Than all the sense in the [...]
Why Just One Day for Women?
Fine, birthdays and anniversaries I get. They mark another full year of an event. But how does one mark a woman's never-ending ordeals, passions and sacrifices? By a day?? Isn't it a bit like being unfair to someone through the year and then going and wishing them on their birthday? For oh, how grateful you [...]
Behind the Facade
I don't see a face. I see a facade. For that is all I am allowed to see. I don't see the real emotions. I see the practiced gestures. For that is all That comes across. I don't see the vulnerable heart. I see the calculative mind. For that is all That is expressed. I [...]
