Lovers


Let's go to the fields
Hand in hand
And lay on the green bushes
Then I would tell you strangest things- of people with a dream-head
Who talks bizarre language,
Of people with eyeballs pulled out by crying,
Of couples turned into statues and more.
Before being cloyed by the tequila sunrise,
Let's make love like lovers.
And when the ecstasy fades away,
Let's make some pies and
Sing a love song.
Dressed like a dead princess, you would take me to your castle,
Of crumbling walls and depleting alleys,
Where I can listen to the songs from the rusted piano.
When I pretend to go, you can
Keep me by your side by reading out tales from your book of love,
When only the scent of the old book would keep me there.
Guided by the white horse we may return to the fields,
Where the stories of our blind love remains unchanged.
When horror chases the horse,
It leaves us and seeks shelter in the evening's old stable.
Before being lured by your next love song,
I would ran away to pluck the violet lilies,
To tuck them in your pockets.
Seeing the mistletoe above, you would come to kiss me,
When lavenders giggle and
hide behind last sun rays,
I would whisper you a secret and walk away from you,
Gifting you a bunch of butterfly weeds,
And leaving you to cultivate your infinite dreams.

A Second Thought

  Blankness engulfs me The thought of being dumb Decision pending... Grab my hand Take me away Away to the darkness Hell is being created here... I run to hide.. Hide beneath the blankets Goosebumps... Shiver... Fear... Owls... Houls... Blood... Tides... Thunder... Blinking lights... Black and White Steps... Gorges... Heart beats... Nightmares... Everything  transcends darkness... Orendaa!! Altar... Angels... Baby's breath... Laughs... Sunlight... Rain... Candles... Peace... Breath at last... Yes! Time to revamp my life. A.C

Of mothers, sarees and their grief

Mothers are often presented as the epitome of love in movies. The struggles, sacrifices and the quiet tiredness they carry are praised, even placed on a pedestal. But we rarely talk about their grief, the grief of unlived lives. Have you ever thought about the lives of these mothers before marriage and motherhood? Before all the giving began? So often, clad in their sarees, mothers cook and smile, clean and laugh. But is that all they ever wanted? Do they carry the weight of the shadows of their unlived lives? Many do, though they may never say it aloud. And they leave it behind for the happiness of the ones they love. I often feel that when they wipe sweat from their brows with the edge of their sarees, they catch the glimpse of their hidden grief. The loneliness and the neglect they receive, they tuck it away, fold it into the pleats of their sarees and smile again. Some may have once wanted to be doctors, teachers, dancers, writers, travellers. And even in their happiest moments, th...
