Forever..

Forever..

You know why GOD created a gap between fingers?So that, some day the one who is made for you comes and fills those gaps by holding your hand. I have often come across these lines and every time they would leave me in a cynical contemplation. A cliché, I would remark. I had always regarded […]

Touch…

Touch…

I open my cupboard And my clothes fall out like my feelings flow out in your presence. In the huge heap at my feet, I see your sweatshirt hidden under the blues, greens, pinks and reds. I almost instantly reach out and put it on. And I’m taken somewhere where I’m accepted for who I […]

I Had A Dream…

I Had A Dream…

I had a dream where someone gave me a kiss. So sweet and gentle. Purely unconditional. Unartful. He simply looked at me, and kindly offered me this moment of intimacy to convey a message. Like a fairy tale prince, he woke me from my state of lethargy to make me understand that there’s still hope. […]

A Woof Is My Word For Love

A Woof Is My Word For Love

Calvin breathes gently. Despite the pain and exhaustion, despite the air of resignation that hangs around him, he seems peaceful. The morning sun is brutal, but Calvin continues to lie in the blinding brightness that escapes the curtains. Calvin. Our sunshine. Father, Mother, and I have locked our gazes on the boy.

No one puts their heart into something anymore. Maybe that’s our tragedy. The flow of emotions has just been displaced into a virtual environment and our emotions have moved […]

Oh Orlando!

Oh Orlando!

Orlando. I remember you. Sitting right in the heart of Florida, you are a place where dreams come true. Where magic unfolds. Where a confluence of people from around the world come to enjoy dream vacations. Sunshine, sweet oranges, laughter, fun and good times – that’s what you are all about. I remember spending some […]

The Lost Promise

The Lost Promise

He lied. I was at my favourite cafe. It was a bright sunny afternoon. I was wearing a black top he had chosen for me when we were on one of my shopping sprees. It’s strange how I look so perfect when I wear the dresses he selects for me. This time too, all my […]

The Light Within

The Light Within

If no one ignites my inner light, how am I supposed to know if I shine? You could say I shine by myself, but what if a spark needs to be ignited? A fire can’t always burst into flames by itself, it’s brought to life. Like you did. With me. And like fire, you can extinguish me, […]
