The Start Of A War


They tell you nothing matters. No love. No ties. No heartbreaks. No memories. No feelings. Not you. Not me. Not them. Nothing. And then, No lives.

The Sunshine Dealer


Every morning he would wake with a little tune in his head. Then he'd hum that tune to himself and walk up to his secret place. His was a land of fresh, abundant sunshine washed through with just enough oxygen. And then he'd sit by the day collecting sunshine in little glass bottles. He'd drink a little himself and get a little tipsy. He'd smile at strangers who would almost always smile back. They would know the lyrics to his song and join in. And in the dark hours of the night, he would exchange his little bottles for a kindness returned. He had a thriving business. And if you'd ever visited him at home, you'd see how it shone. You'd see how he shone.

Here's A Sign

I know you've been looking for them.
In words. In your thought patterns. In your dreams.
In the morning newspaper, at the front page.
And then, casually flipping over to the horoscopes section.
In the utterances of a random stranger.
In the speed of the days.
In the weather. The taste of food. In every expression.
You've gone over them a thousand times.
You've studied each line, curve and symbol carefully.
And you've almost figured it all out.
But you'll go over them once again.
Maybe you've got it all wrong.
But maybe you've got them all right.
What then?
Well, here's a sign.

What You Had To Say

I want you to hear me out. But I couldn't say a word if you'd listen.

Green And Blue

You were neither a lover, nor a friend. Not an enemy or a foe.
Yet when you left, there was I. Painted green and blue.

How You Make Me Feel

I don't know how you make me feel inside. But I hope, what I'm feeling is life.

You Don't Know The Way

Don't say you love me. You'll never get there. I saw you that day, when you destroyed the map. You thought no one had.

Of Love, Madness And Silence

Today, I searched every wall for your silhouette. Every room for your smell. And then I braved my way through the crowd. Who were those people, love? Who were they? They were nice, I suppose. Meant well. But I couldn't stand that din, I'd rather be here....with this screaming silence.

A Place For You

And this could be all you'd ever dreamt of. A place where you'd live. With everything you wanted. And it's people, you would pick.

Right Here

Look after yourself. Fare thee well. I'll be right here watching, till you turn the corner. And I'll be right here waiting, till you return.
