I Wish to Go Home to Cry

 


I wish to go home to cry, 

My eyes have started to blur out, 

I can't carry the weight of unshed tears, 

But I'm far from home. 

My feelings overflow like a spring gushing forth from the earth, 

It seeks refuge in moonless nights and 

dark corners. 

The heart has outgrown, it's no longer of fists size, 

It has become indifferent to the aches and scratches. 

I wish to go home to cry, 

But I can't remember where my home is, 

It has become a delusion, 

I get the blurred images of the blue windows with yellow curtains, 

That swayed in gentle winds, 

To kiss the books on the table. 

Or was it a yellow window with blue curtains? 

I'm unable to figure out the exact picture, 

I haven't been home since three seasonal cycles, or four or five. 

But I wish to go home to cry, 

To cut open myself and

heal my heart with yellow flowers, 

And to sleep with lavenders under the pillow. 

But which is the right road? 

Which is the right bus? 

Where do I get down? 

I have miles to travel, 

Rivers to cross, 

Deaths to witness, 

Maybe my heart will survive till then. 

Maybe it will endure everything, 

And if not, 

I will bury it myself in this lonely sands, 

Chanting a dirge, 

Away from home,

Ceasing all the feelings. 

But I wish to go home to cry, 

Maybe I will find home someday.

I Let Myself Sink Into You

  I let myself sink into you,  Taking deep dips,  Not letting myself float.  You kept the rhythm of ocean Calm and said the waves To come another day.  I got lost in the tranquility of your arms,  Seeking an abode for eternity,  Reaching out in bliss.  Maybe If I could live here forever,  I would dance at a different pace,  guided by the warmth of your heart. I see no lines seperating us,  Shutting down the little fragments of overthinking,  I place you close to my bosom,  Never to let you go.  Making all the falsities disappear,  I'm riveted by the hold of your hands,  the sheer joy on your face  At the movement of my eyelashes,  Making me fall all over again.  You asked me if you could join in my agony,  If you could make me think of  Things of joy, Checking my pulse and it's  dramas,  You dived deep into me,  Untangling the mysterious cords,  that encircled me....

Child is the Father of the Man

Childhood is a phase where we feel everything deeply. Every traumatic, as well as happy incidents, get imprinted in us during this stage that the memories of those determine our further life. Rajesh Pillai's Mili is such a character who was deeply affected by her mother's illness & her death. Mili is a representative of many children whose childhood gets lost in the struggle to cope with the indigestive-syllabuses & who are forced to believe that a failure in it would determine what they are. The slow and beautiful transformation of Mili from an introverted, depressed girl to an independent inspiring person is touching. With the help of a handful number of right people who are ready to go extra miles for her, Mili steps out of her comfort zone by breaking her shell of insecurities which is as old as her. Mili makes sure that the children that she teaches are not judged by their inabilities or marks like she was but their small skills that no one actually notices. She al...

THE SILENT CRY

Darkness ...at  its  zenith Silence.. at  the sound 's lowest decibel.. I wrapped  myself up into the blanket tears rolled down my cheeks.. I cried.. I cried in the dark silence silently.. No voice of my cry.. I bite my hands.. I cried silent loudly.. I cried for the dreams unfulfilled I cried thinking of my unpredicted future.. I cried thinking of my unknown death.. I cried thinking of my  inabilities I cried  thinking of  the gifts  not given to me I cried  thinking of my people.. And I complained  God Almighty for the miseries given to me.. ... I   wiped  off my tears.. I smiled. Perfect... Nothing is better than this silent loud cry..!! A.C
