Poem: The Rose Flower
Only one rose flower has ever bloomed, in my rose plant, ever since i planted it as a rootless stem, leafless and flowerless too, but full of thorns.

Poem: What If?
What if we are mermaids Trapped in human legs? Or unicorns, mystic and majestic Shying away from magic? What if we are birds With long forgotten wings? Caught in the choices of evolution Or choicelessness of daily lives.

Poem: Ghosts in Red Lights
Photo by cottonbro studio on Pexels.com Her face like a twilight sky of bruises Clad in an old saree, tired of abuses Her bindhi red like a setting sun in fire Above two Kohled eyes deep like an ocean. Her tired face sparkles with relief When I walk into her room, food in my hand. … Continue reading Poem: Ghosts in Red Lights
