Read MoreI remember dog days and the sweat on my back as the cotton my clothes clung to it. Tell me, how many of these stars are sun? Whether I can burn my midnight with their incandescence?
I say I remember dog days and the sticky popsicle dribbling down my hand till my fingers turned orange and the ice turned to water and games I played on the ground by the temple continued the next day.
These days I feel like there is a stone set on my tongue which I can't throw out nor swallow it. It gets caught in my throat and I feel so fragile under its weight. My loneliness feels like a tar wrapping me in its thick embrace. I don't know how to hug back. I have been trying to write about its shape and how it looks and sometimes it gets a page long and other times the blank page looks at me with half-lidded eyes.
I'm trying to remember people so that I can remember me. The incessant bounce of my leg as I try to focus, drifts me away till I drown everything else but the story of these fictional people who burn bright and bright and bright. And by the time I come back, the screen in my front is utter black. These days I'm afraid of this silence, you see.
I bite my tongue to choke down the crudeness that I apparently have. I am relieved when the bathroom mirror is fogged. The evening is calmer. Cooler. My skin, dryer.
Myself, farther.
I try to feel the heat from that incandescence I said I don't have. I sleep too much. I half-heartedly smile as I see the familiar grey where the orange and blue meet. I see the bugs flying in the distance which I thought have gone way.
I see the lone star shining. I chuckle and say to myself, “Kar lenge.”
//sometimes my train of thoughts give me a whiplash too. //

*laughs nervously in vulnerability*
#writersnetwork #mirakee #readwriteunite #pod #writersofmirakee #poetry #poetrycommunity #poem #optimism #positivity #love #autumn #stars #constellations #skyYesterday I saw a crescent moon glowing orange and I wondered how summer nights turn to autumn mornings but the wind still had the heat which makes me smile.
(I) Some days, I'm a leaf glowing gold in the sun and I fall in love with green. I remember watching a show months ago where a girl smiled warmly and looked at irises, recalling the story of her name. And I wondered then, what a beautiful thing it is to be named after flowers, before I caught myself and laughed stupidly at my irony. You see, this is how we forget about beauty when it is ours.
(II) Some days, I wonder if there are threads which I could pull to understand the movement of my hand or the way my fingers burn down as my nails pierce into my flesh; if there are some songs which I can scream out loud to understand what horrible sounds my heart wants to make; if I could learn how to swim in my tears which I flood too much on those days; if I could have a faith which will take my loneliness away.
(III) Some days, I see Jupiter and Saturn grin at me like pearls from a bracelet whose beads I have scattered across the sky. It is said that there are asteroids pulled by the gravity of these planets and that's how we are alive here on Earth.
And then I wonder about the mortality of us and how we might be the only people capable of loving. How we are the people who have seen and named specks of dust of clouds and gases light years away from us Heart and Soul nebula. How we have divided the sky into these constellations; all these billion little stars who are light years apart come down together by our sheer imagination and spin themselves into these stories and tales which are passed down from generations.
How we are just tiny specks of dust in this universe who cannot even comprehend the vastness of it. But even so, we have made these skies less lonely. We have left traces of ourselves in this expanse of space.
How I am alive, and so are others. How many have been and many will be.
How at the end there are little things that will connect me to you and to everything.
And on those days I'll remember that I have seen butterflies and dragonflies and the joy it brought me to just see them flying. I will remember laughing. I will remember the flowers and their colours and the oranges we shared on the dining table and how I came to know stories about my grandmother and I'll try to remember the good in us.
I will remember the world full of this yellow, bright sunlight and the green leaves of the trees swaying in the wind and I will cry when I will see the stars and I will be warm. And I'll try to remember this warmth when winter comes.
It's easy to love the world on the good days. These days I'll try to love it on the bad ones too.

We are both witches on a gravel road under a sunny afternoon. This building murmurs the prayers we sigh with our eyes shut tight in the morning. Our God is different now but there are strings which criss-cross and knot themselves around our fingertips. The leaves under our feet are golden and swirl around the bark of these brown trees, hopping from one bench to another. You whisper a spell and I believe in magic even though I don't know what it is. You are my dusk flowing in autumn winds like the smell of Halloween. These days I wonder how stars would taste like; whether I'll glow if I would swallow one. You worship the moon and so I try to memorise her movements. She knows too much history about you and I get jealous. We are ten again and you tell me a story and I listen. You close your eyes and take me to a place which I'll forget after a decade.
But the magic you showed me stays.

On some days hiding in corners is a hard thing because here's your body expanding and trial rooms are caves which echo my reflection with a physics which I don't know how to not let it pierce my heart.
My corners unfurl themselves into a wider place and I step out to see that my summer days have shortened into a loop where my mother carries a guilt which I tell her to shrug down while my chest clenches with a pain of carrying a weight which I don't even know is my to carry. But you know, that's what happens when your reality takes away something from you which you don't know how to shape—leaving stains on your fingertips and a smell whose nostalgia will weigh you down on some days.
Sometimes (read: most) I hide myself in second person and let others carry my story. I drop down the I from I love you or I miss you because the vulnerability leaves me a bit too open than I'm ready to be. Other times I take my comfort character and see the world through his eyes and let him live my memories. Some days I'm a walk on a long road with a laughter and songs and silly dances which I don't remember because hey my heart is cold. So, do tell me what do I do with these frozen moments stitched to my heart?
There are nights when I look above and realise that once you start familiarising with the map of the sky, it gets hard to ignore the urge to know the cities and continents of it. Some days I laugh at this. Other days I want to forget the constellations and just look at the sky like I am staring at anonymity—just billion little stars and galaxies looking at me back knowing nothing about me.

My skin glows red when this itch inside of me crawls all over and if I am saying it poetically, it is just me wondering where my words go when I am not pressing the keys with my fingertips shuddering in the vibration. Otherwise, it's an allergy which I can't place.
Sometimes I miss the thrill of my incoherent outpour on this glowing screen.
Tell me where do we go when from the spaces between your bones, you find dreams and fears placed tenderly? Or how in the back of your mind there are echoes of the songs you used to sing.
These desert skies split apart when the rain stops and sometimes in the dusk it looks like the clouds are on fire while the land is still overcoming from the humid kisses. My heart is still trying to understand the shape of the skyline of my soul because when I look above, I imagine these constellations telling me their stories. The other side knows all too well how these are nothing but gases burning and glowing.
What I am trying to say is that I too am sometimes split apart like my desert skies. In this heat which I am cradled in, I have learned to bloom and so I laugh when July comes but when August steps her toe in this incoming pool, sending ripples across with her touch, I find my eyes blurry and my lips whispering to her to be kind to me.
She says she will be if I am too.

Your own words sometimes eat you up;
crawling onto your throat from inside,
Stinging your skin at your fingertips,
Only to smirk and back down.
You remember the past month where memories played in frantic rhythm till your own heart betrayed you and then the sky grew pink and then orange and then blue and this devastatingly beautiful hue which made you grow weak just like when you were seven and twelve and now twenty.
You don't know the art of a lover nor their aching happiness but this sky has always cradled you so you pretend that it's your face which is being held and what escapes from your lips is fuck. All of it is beautiful.
It always goes in a loop with your sighs competing against the wind and then you wonder whether this air itself is the collective exhale of all the lovers-without-the-art-of-love like you who are seeing the same shy crescent sun.
And it is in moments like these where you would take the life as it is: The green trees rustling in the wind, the tender plants you just gave water too, the flags on the nearby temples flurrying in the wind, the little girl in her chipped white house giggling. You will only want to exist and think, “I am feeling nothing, but it's okay.”
And tomorrow—
Tomorrow you'll take your half-composed poems and chew and swallow them up. Telling your words that you still have time to tell the stories of branches and flowers and letting go and being kind and the secrets of the summers.
You'll let yourself be what you are and let this vulnerability unfold slowly—one finger at a time— because I know there are songs which had built you up, bone by bone, and you keep them locked inside your ribs. You have this fervent desire to keep them safe and hidden because the rhythm of your heart is made up of their notes and there is this selfish part of you which you want only to yourself.
Because I too have these verses that make me shudder and hear the shattering of the fragile things in me; there are words of love and healing I have read which are holier than the gods I am sitting in front of, the fragrance of the incense sticks burning the room while these poetries light a wildfire inside my heart.
We'll flood in pieces; every drop overwhelming.
We'll say,
“Come, July.
I'll eat the world as it is; raw and bare.”
“Come, July,
I am becoming.”

I want to smile fearlessly, you know?
Like a goddess drawing on her cheek with her fingernail, the power glowing on the trail. I want that glint, you know? The light that can only be golden and bright enough when it's dark. All dark.
And when I'll smile, I want that sharp glint of the moon as I'll slowly bare my teeth.
I want to smile fearlessly, you know?
I want mercy to be drained out till its shards are almost non-existent in my glassy eyes. The crinkle on my skin as I stretch my lips should know that forgiveness shouldn't be given out like charity.
I want to smile fearlessly, you know?
Redcrimsonscarlet, I want my lips smeared in a shade that'll resemble blood.
Because it knows the crooks and trenches of our body— the darkest pits as it flows through the thinnest of veins and capillaries—and still when we bleed, it comes out red.
I want to smile fearlessly, you know?
Of course, you know.
Because you want to too.

Wrote it around March end.
I want to be more active here now. As much as I cringe at my earlier writings, I miss the time where I used to write often. I'll try to keep this account more updated.
Hope you all are staying safe.
EDIT: I got so fucking scared when I was about to post but the message said that I need to buy premium services??? I thought that I would have to leave Mirakee now...
#writersnetwork #mirakee #readwriteunite #pod #writersofmirakee #angst(i) A gust of wind thudding the windows till I could hear the raging fall of the leaves outside.
Inside, I am scrambling for air. Throat clenched and the back arched with memories till I am nothing but guilt slammed in my chest.
The wind outside is still blowing.
(ii) There are apologies on the tip of my tongue but inside I am an apology myself and then everything swirls and break down till I don't know how to differentiate the two. I am sorry, I want to say to myself. For wanting to apologise for being myself.
(iii) On some days I am afraid that my words will leave me. That one day I'll have nothing to spill out—no way to spit out the hurricanes inside my head. That one day I'll be out of magic which I try so hard to believe in.
I so much want to believe in it.

Wrote it around August last year for specific characters. I found it in the notes today and thought that I might as well post it here.
#lgbtqpoetry
#writersnetwork #mirakee #readwriteunite #pod #writersofmirakee #love #poetry #thoughts(i) It begins in summer. And what's more a perfect time to love than when the world is young and laughing and the days stretch lazily from dawn to dusks?
(ii) Let's make prayers out of ourselves, they whisper to each other. Let's make words flow in a rhythm, in a language which only we know; a wish, a desire with which we live. Let's make ourselves those dreams.
(iii) Iridescent:
/ˌɪrɪˈdɛs(ə)nt/
adjective
/showing luminous colours that seem to change when seen from different angles./
They are bubbles floating in the space, and gods, when the rays hit them, a blast of colours covers everything. They are there in this collision of colours, a river running wild. And have you ever wondered about it, child? Have you ever wondered what it will be like to swim in colours?
(iii) What's that? he asks him, pointing to a horn.
It's the Gabriel's Horn, he replies. It has a finite volume but an infinite surface area.
His hands are in his hair, trailing down the spine while the other threads his fingers in his locks and pulls him closer. There are smiles on their lips and love in their heart and in that second, they are like that Gabriel's Horn. They are finites covered by infinities, their hands and souls and lips discovering every new thing.
(iv) There are days when one burns too bright. The world turns into ashes. But they've had created their own faith, baptized in a light they've made—they were never carved and nailed or bounded by holiness. So when the hellfire sings destruction, the blue flames charring the skin of one, the other burns too. Stripped of fear. Devoid of agony.
Let's meet in the ashes, they say to each other in the burning summer sun.

This emptiness makes me think about afternoons because afternoons are made to think. I'm trying to taste the memories of sitting in heat with the low hum of the fan above me. It's supposed to be sweet. I'm trying to remember the time where a phone didn't call this rush of adrenaline. I'm trying to remember this place a lot fuller than it is now— both with people and their anger they held for each other. I'm trying to remember the words I had within me two days ago. I'm failing.
But I do remember an evening where I thought that sometimes it's almost a race with yourself to reach the memory and tap it open; the winner gets to choose what lies inside. The truth breaks into segments till you can't put it back and make out what the moment was because once the time has passed, all you are left with is an illusion to decipher.
The memory no longer belongs to you if you lose.

The Dreamers Walk
The clock ticks so quietly,
There on the wall.
Time passes so quickly,
In no time at all,
The time we’re together,
Will come to an end.
Only one thing to do,
My love to you, send.
With warm loving kisses,
From my heart to yours,
When I drift off to sleep,
We’ll walk dreamers shores.
Hand in hand you and I,
Through our dreams and desires,
You'll turn to kiss me,
We’ll ignite passion's fire.
We'll glow with a aura,
Only lovers can see,
With our bodies entwined,
We will love, you and me.
Hearts beat in time,
Souls become one,
Together all night,
Till the rise of the sun.

Read MoreWhen most of the eyes were caged in the screens
I witnessed the conspiracy of rain as a teen
Probably, first rain _uninvited, unseasonal
But the love it bestowed was so unconditional.
Petrichor , it made me feel nostalgic
Of same old days, so fanatic
That soft, gentle breeze
Carrying away a part of me
Coz the moments hardly freeze
With the arrival of uninvited rain
Words came boundlessly
With the mark of profound serenity.

On the arrival of first rain
My pen scribbled it all...
I hope it makes sense

Read MoreA light one.. December arrives and I can already feel my grey cells freezing. ��
I am bad at remembering names,
Of things, of people, of places.
While you may call it my arrogance
But I know, I really try.
When I should be
Calling out things specifically
I mumble incoherently, racking my brain
To remember what it never memorized.
So, I start to describe
People with their length and breadth
Or simply how can they be torturous.
I remember places with what they hold
On platters hastily served, on crowded roads.
And, how I remember trees and flowers!
My roving eyes try to draw comparisons
With color shades I've eluded from the start.
And, since no titles remain with me,
Feelings and tales are all I store.
So ask me what people, things or places I like
I'll describe to you a sight I have lived
In years bygone.
And such rich imagery clouds my eyes,
That the mockery you make
Of my memory isn't captured even a slight.

The road I travel by is never followed
But I suppose the ghosts don't ever let go
My mind's unclear, there's someone here
Maybe I'm just scared, but I can feel someone's stare
Will I ever escape this pity party of mine?
I just want to feel alive but now I gotta hide
But the house is empty and so is the road
Inside are the ghosts, out here the wolves
Tear me to pieces, skin the bones
Do your worst, cus' no one's home

If your imagination hangs from a cliff , let it fall ,to the depths of ocean, and let yourself explore, what you feared once. Don't go back to the limitations, just to get over the phobia of moving beyond the lines.

Read More//We're made of all those who've built and broken us.//
Can a broken person be made to believe in love, again?
@readwriteunite @mirakee @writersnetwork @mirakee_reposter @writersofmirakee #MirakeeWorld #writersnetwork #readwriteunite #reposter #pod-Ruins-
Like an old man of the hill, the castle lay.
It's like touching history;
Like a world trapped within a building,
Like a time machine,
Connecting you to someone who lived
And loved so long ago.
You sit with your back facing the sun.
Beneath your skin's veneer
Lies cemented fear.
The shadow reminds you,
You're not only your soul, but a walking
Creature, treading upon this miracle,
Finding your way through things,
Without knowing what half of it is like.
The castle has broken locks,
One for every promise that wasn't kept.
Missing bricks,
One for every part the waves had washed away.
Gaping holes,
One for each arrowhead of old hilts
Of broken swords and armour,
That failed to protect.
Your body looks like a half knit sweater.
People come and leave with a ball of yarn,
But never halt to fix it.
There're signboards all over the castle,
Which say:
"DANGER. Fragile roof. Shaky walls.
Keep out".
You put billboards marking the freckles on your skin,
"Danger. Fragile heart. Vulnerable soul.
Stay...?"
Moss clung in the shade of the ancient walls,
Like a straggly beard.
The twisted locks and bars aren't oiled to perfection.
The castle crumbles in slow motion,
Only the sun and the moon themselves
Witness the steady deterioration
Of these abandoned turrets and ramparts.
You're tired of listening to "You'll be okay",
In return to a "Hi".
You're a masquerade of something whole;
A mosaic of broken pieces and stretch marks.
You burn too brightly,
And collapse into yourself every night.
I stand by your umbrella eyelids,
And watch them open to all the wrong season.
They say the castle needs to be demolished,
For the walls are too broken to last.
You say you need to escape,
For you're too battered to be loved.
And I show you my palms,
With roadmaps etched like tattoos.
Roadmaps that smell of warm coffee
And fresh beginnings.
Love is tangible;
Like the tired fingers that write poetries,
For someone they can touch the heavens with.
I spend the nights writing
Things I'd rather whisper in your ear,
Tiptoeing into your territory,
Stealing epiphanies.
The walls have defied eons.
The whispers of the ages,
The voices of old, the clash of metal on metal, And the pounding of horses hooves,
Remain cloistered in the castle dungeons.
When the loneliness gnaws at you,
I animatedly whisper to you
Parts of Hansel and Gretel.
Darling, you're not alone inside.
Today we took a trip to the ruins.
You lost pieces of your heart here and there,
Like confetti.
I built a home with those pieces,
And wrote a poem under the starlit sky,
Where we both stood at one-hand-distance,
Still making each other feel
The safe kind of alone.
And I let the broken window slightly ajar.
If you change your mind.
Just in case.

Sometimes I just
Want to fall to the ground
With my face in my hands
And apologise to
The little girl I
Always picture in my head
I want to tell her
That I'm sorry, I couldn't find
Courage enough
To learn from her mistakes
Sorry I couldn't build
Enough respect for her
Sorry I couldn't shine
Out of the shadow
She was once put into
And I failed to earn
For her what she deserved
I want to unwind my knees
And for once, just give up
I want to know
What it'd feel like
Whether I'd feel as
Light as smoke
Floating gently over
The mess it left behind
Or as free as the flower
Plucked from it's plant
Granted freedom
To fly with the wind
But then I see glass
All around me,
Shattering one by one
I see the little girl's
Expression, slowly breaking
And dissolving into
A swirl of thoughts
Spinning so fast, that
All I can feel is
A strange calmness
Settle over me
All my dreams, my purpose
Instantly wiped off
My meaning reduced
To nothingness, and my eyes
Devoid of any tear
And suddenly I wake
Body drenched in sweat
And fear taking stance
In place of courage
But in that moment
I know that whatever are
The elements that
Make me who I am
Are not, were not,
And will never be
Worth letting go
Of, ever.

Read MoreThere are many of us who are just fighting to be alive, to breathe, to live. Everyday on Mirakee I find people who are tired of everything and of their life.
There are people who just want to end their life.
There are many of us who are fighting depression or any other mental illnesses, the taunts of society or the evil practices.
Instead of telling them to be positive and comparing them to other people, we need to understand that all they need is love. All we can give is love.
Instead of just ignoring such people thinking them as the negative people or asking them to come out of the depression, lets tell them that we love them. Make them realise that they are not alone. Instead of teaching them how to live life just listen to them, make them feel loved, accepted and that they are needed and they are not alone.
Today, I read @alishabadhel post, I know that it's not easy for her to go through what she is going through.
Instead of telling her to be positive or happy. Let's make her realise that she isn't alone, let us tell her that she is loved and that we all are here for her.
Let's make her realise that there is no power greater than love and there are 1000s reasons to live than to die.
I would appreciate if you tag the above mentioned person and let her know that you love her. I don't know her neither does she knows me but the only thing I want her to realise is that she isn't alone and that we all are here for us.
Sorry for the long post, thanks for reading this.
You can tag your friends here :)
@writersnetwork @lovenotes_from_carolyn @willow923 @pen_and_paper @tamannakhalid @laughing_soul @imnotapoet @zenith_ @fireblast_I am not what the society tells me,
I am not what other's think of me,
I am not a failure,
I am not a darkness or an void,
regret or guilt,
Future or past.
I am that feeble voice which screams whenever I fall down
to breathe, to live, to get up and fight back again.
I am faith and hope,
Prayers and blessing,
Life and eternity,
I am me and the whole of now.

Ever had that feeling? You know, you want to fall freely and ask the most trusted one to catch you. Without a worry, you let yourself go, you let yourself fly and the very next moment you realise that there's no one waiting to catch you, there's no one wanting to get you back safe.
You're left back to break - physically and mentally. The air around has already sucked out everything from you. And you are void, void enough to burst and disappear into thin air.
And you know, that physical destruction gradually heals, it ultimately is healed and built back. But, what about the mental health? That's pain. That exactly is the meaning of pain - Something that can't be cured, something that can't be repaired, something that can't be ever mended.
And how're we supposed to shield ourselves from this imperilment? We can't. It's beyond our control, its remote doesn't exist, not even remotely. Pain walks all over us, squeezes us, crumpling us into glass shards.
Shards. How shiny and dazzling do they look! It makes you want to collect them and store it somewhere. But, the moment you touch them, they show what they really are. They pierce into your skin, tearing it bit by bit. It pains. It pains so much.
You had invested so much positivity in them that you had no idea they could hurt you. At the end, they do. You're left wallowing and contemplating how you could be wrong.
Pain, sure demands to be felt but more than that, it demands to be won over. Because, it makes you grow, it makes you strong and invincible, superior and insurmountable. All you need to do is pull the mask off of the sham.
To be pained is to be knocked off. To be pained is to rise like a Phoenix.
