I'm back with my next poem folks! It's been a while since I penned a poem for a prompt...anyways, here you go!I once stumbled upon wordsBoth simple and splendid,That conveyed messages in waysWhole verses never did. Yet when I pick them up now,They're magical no more,Weld not verses with magnificenceThey boasted of before.I cannot,though,discard them,Words …

Dreams
My next poem:Lost within my mind,I float atop an oceanOf fantastic so fantastic,The masterpieces of imaginationOf irreplicable nature,I'm entangled in dreamsSo unrealistically bewitching,I'm never set free..Not that I ever desiredEscaping the enigmasOf creating infinite thoughts,Of dreaming steadfast.I ne'er dared envisageOr predict a single dream,Allowed each to unfold,And let a weary mind weave.As the day dusks …
Rain
After a loooong time, I am back with a poem! Although it has been like 5 days since I last published something, it's seemed like ages to me!The rain beckons meTo dance to its tunes,Embrace its cold embrace,Watch gloomy skies loom,The rain beckons meTo shed some sweat,Play basketball with friendsNot afraid of getting wet.The rain …
My Grandmother
It's been a busy two weeks for sure! 11th grade has begun(already??) and work has been piling up on the double.

The Good Ol’ Days
Today, I am back with a small collab done with Kunjal from Duo Disseminators, who writes poems and also does posts on various other topics. Check out a sample of her writing here( https://duodisseminator81314070.wordpress.com/2022/05/22/what-hope/ ). We were talking about the games we used to play when we were young(around 6th or 7th grade) when this …
Words Can’t Narrate…
My next sonnet, y'all!Girl walking in the streets,alone at night,Encounters a gang of lust-laden boys,Tries to run, ends up caught, too weak to fight,Mewls tears of pain as they laugh with joy..Left battered and bruised,cold and alone,Left to her suffering and agony,Her dignity destroyed,her respect gone,An unforgett'ble,haunting memory.Sorrow became anger as longed justice,Justice for a …
