Hey everyone! One of my friends, Shobhit Kushwaha, writes poetry and I thought why not feature one of his works over here! It's originally in Hindi, but we've tried to translate it as best as we can. Enjoy! तेरे लबों में एक अधूरी प्यास बाकी है.. (There is an incomplete thirst in your lips) तुझसे… Continue reading तेरे लबों में एक अधूरी प्यास बाकी है
It has been SO LONG since I've written, or published a post with my writing. The thing, I'm spending a lot of time for college and have simply not found the time to write. But recently, I jotted a few small things, and I thought I'd share them with you today! They're not very… Continue reading Writing under 25 words
Today, I have Fabio Descalzi guest posting! Head is blurred. Mind is knotty. Thought is tangled. Missed words? Never mind. Just prompts. Depth of thought. Meanders in your mind. Paths inside your head. Better now? Should be. May be. Just thoughts. Now I think better. Now I feel sober. Now I know. Any other grief? Not… Continue reading Deep Mind

I see you standing over there; My heart soars like a vulture High above the ground inside me That keeps me down with gravity. I can feel my bones singing Like the beautiful nightingale, Pouring out notes in high pitch. You are only a few feet away from me now; The snow-capped mountains in… Continue reading Explosion of my earth
It is hard not to conceal my emotions When I was brought up With missionaries of no emotion. I do not realise when I am asked a question; That I have not offered an expression with my answer. It is not natural to me As it's supposed to be. I have been constantly hiding in… Continue reading Conceal
Here's a poem by this week's guest blogger Charley. Love does not change through the centuries. Always unrequited or more accurately the fear of mutual love of what to do after the professed love. Always though there’s an obstacle a couple’s love must overcome: political parental self-induced or other. Miraculously like a book or movie… Continue reading Happy ending love
Daily post prompt Longing: Write a new post in response to today’s one-word prompt. Longing desperately For a connection She drifts in life No anchor to keep her down, Nothing important enough To settle down. Life isn't an easy path Ploughing through alone is hard.

Daily prompt Divide: Write a new post in response to today’s one-word prompt. Separation of two things Presence of a concise line between them Divided. Two people once so close Now on two different sides Fractioned. From pleasant breakfast every morning To cringing at an encounter; Loving embraces To five feet space Two-sectioned. One misunderstanding from… Continue reading Divided.
I don't care About my job; I don't mind Leaving this place; It doesn't matter That you want to go across the country.

Here in the late summer sun I lay looking at the sky Thinking of the infinite and beyond And stuck here in reality In all the years to come, Will I ever feel contentment In the skin I possess And the routine I follow Oh, endless sky, How do you manage to be… Continue reading Musings to the sky
