By Harshita Mishra In the night,  the cold, the chilling sound of breezing pride  is sucking my soul that was made to unwind the mystery of this lifeless time. A ride back to the peaceful night  I had when I was a child no it wasn't good but it was fine Was it a dream? Was it a lie? Like the people of this time tells me  in the name of friendly advice  I want to be all, the first rain after a dreadful summer, the snow at the beach, a mystery of beauty, and an endless sky But

By Harshita Mishra Out of dying ,  Out of crying, at the sea  by the shore I left a piece of me wherever I go  thus I believe you still have a piece of me ,holding on to, clenching it so hard  making me sore – I fall  as I try to run  my eyes  covered in dread your  hands filled with blood I end up crying   I end up dying  on the sea shore By Harshita Mishra

By Harshita Mishra A beam of rays, barely showing me the way I'm barefoot on this empty path Bleeding on the rose petals after dancing in the shower of pain  The river of peace burns my bruised back  The air so cold, when it touches my soul  I get so angry I destroy it all, They leave me quick The escape I picked I crawl back to the wrecked room where every brick has the same name I was running from. By Harshita Mishra

By Harshita Mishra I wanted to let the truth out but I knew how much it would  feel left out in a world where believing is a myth and lie is a proud king so I lied, when I laughed when I cried when I talked wherever I stopped to the people and to me even to the world inside me to fool none but the eyes of mine for a last time my heart screeched while the truth remained inside it The king won again We became the slave, just to be stitching every ugly word  to make a fairytale.

By Avani Oak 'If you are reading this...  It is probably too late  My Dear, believe the soldier at our door  Telling you that I am forever gone  And believe me when I tell you  I was thinking of only you, in my final run  My Beloved, I must tell you  Right now, you would be shedding tears  But I left peacefully, no struggle  How could I not be at peace, for I was thinking of you  My Darling, you must listen  I remember naught but kind eyes and your smile  Glistening hearts wh

By Avani Oak Poets are innocent fools  "The world is grey" They say No black, no white There is only grey in between  Never seeing the world as it is Only what it can be Soldiers are hardened sages "No one can pick up a gun Not if they don't want to" They say Bullets are black, shrouds are white There is no grey Between death and life They see the world for what it is  Nonetheless praying for what it should be By Avani Oak

By Avani Oak Dearly beloved, watch her closely As agonizing words fall on her innocent heart Watch closely, as her angelic wings are torn away As chains surround her, breaking her apart Dearly beloved, keep watching As a girl who once proudly showed her fallen teeth Quietly sits in a silent corner Hiding her revered battle scars Dearly beloved, don't tear your eyes away Watch her as she bends at the weight of her burdens She smiles through her own misery and plight While grac

By Avani Oak It grows, it tries, it kills It inhabits, the brain, the heart It scratches at wounds : raw, neglected wounds It becomes a part of blood, oozes in every drop It travels through veins, become a part of the body It travels, consuming fibres of beings It travels, till one becomes guilt itself It kills, it tries, it grows The Guilty... They drown, they sink, they lose They close emotion, the brain, the heart They cover wounds, for no one to see They ignore what they

By Mehana Agnihotri A heated glance  We took the chance Now our bodies move In a lethal dance  Skin on skin Hands, lips and teeth  I never knew fire  Could scorch so sweet Your touch may burn me alive  But without it? I can't survive  Your gaze kindles The heat that aches in me Melting the restraints Setting my demons free I am consumed by you Your eyes, your caress The way you make me combust And complete me  With each thrust  This may not be love  But lust?  Baby we are way

By Mehana Agnihotri The rain knocks On the Earth's cemented gate Pleading to be let in Apologising for being late  He tries to placate her But unfortunately, to no avail She lets him rot outside  Whilst he pours down hail An hour goes by Then a week  Then a month or two When the Earth swallows her anger And allows the rain through  He pleads with his wife To forgive him at last  "Let bygones be bygones" he says "And let the past remain in the past" She agrees to do so But onl

By Mehana Agnihotri You wear a mask  And so do I A necessity to prevent  Catching the wrong eye Some smiles are important  To throw hear and there A necessity to ensure A smooth functioning of affairs  A funny word "necessity" So sweet to say  But the lines soon blur Between a choice and none When your mask becomes your face And your smiles turn fake  So beware the power This guise may hold  A nectar it is indeed But is it truly worthy To have your heart poisoned And your smi

By Mehana Agnihotri A night seems to stretch on An endless black abyss The stars twinkle in the heavens  Cruelly mocking my plight  The goddess of sleep May not bless me  But nightmares certainly do As the darkness cocoons me  In her deadly hue The screams still haunt my ears As the world burns before me The smoke filling my lungs As I see the destruction unfolding  Everything is gone  But the memories remain Monsters that hide  Under my mind Showing their fangs When nothing 

By Mehana Agnihotri For the world? She is innocence incarnate  A pretty lamb All pure & white But for him? She becomes sin  Wrapped ever so perfectly  In the finest silk She is a siren  Her mere presence Making him forget How to breathe & how to live without her For the world? He is cruel & cold A master of his emotions  & always in control But for her? He becomes the greatest devotee Of the God he never had faith in He starts to believe in goodness  With which he had always

By Mehana Agihotri Never the priority  Always the second choice  Always the one  Who remained silent  Never the one that  Used her voice  Never the one  Who reached for the stars  Always the one  Who worried about  How far away they are Never the written  Always the writer  Never the saved  Always the fighter  Never the consoled Always the one  That stayed strong  Never the one  Who was asked, "Are you alright? What's wrong?"  Now the one  Who doesn't believe in light Now the

By Mehana Agnihotri A bed of secrets  Blanketed by lies  In which you sleep On pillows stuffed  With dazzling smiles Smiles so blindingly bright  It fogs your sight Towards the monstrous prisoner  Silently screaming in The dead of the night  But one day  The monsters will come out From under the bed  When the quilt on the untruths Shall be shed  They shall finally  Walk about free And those who have made this bed? In it shall they sleep By Mehana Agnihotri

By Mehana Agnihotri Matters it not That her hand wields  A sword or a broom Matters it not That her hair is  Scattered wild in the wind Or pinned and neatly groomed Never forget that God is a woman and If she gave you life  She can take it too Mistake not her Calm for submission  Nor her quiet for fear Make the mistake  Of looking at her  The wrong way Your end shall be near Never forget that  God is a woman and If she can know charm  She can also know no fear She is strength

By Mehana Agnihotri I want to be held  Through the night After you have  Devoured me just right  I want filthy words  And promises that won't be broken  I want my cries to be heard Even when left unspoken  I want ruin and reverence  Rolled into one  I want someone  who will stay Than someone who will run I want to be Set ablaze  In a never ending fire  Burning me in The wildest way    I want love  I want truth  I want everything  As long as it's from you  I want you to stay 

By Mehana Agnihotri One second is how Long it took When the ground beneath  Violently shook The kingdom burnt down As the walls fell down  Death and destruction standing  Before me wearing  Their daunting crowns They smiled solemnly  And brought me close And whispered in my ear The secret everyone knows "We come for all"  They said  "You aren't the only one  Who felt that we shouldn't Have made the choice" The two sisters thought  This was enough  "But what about the fact  Th

By Aadhya Narwadkar Oh, dear humans and people of the world, Here seep my thoughts from the depth of the mind, Here turns blood to ink by the stroke of a pen, Here unrequited thoughts lie open to find. If you knew all about the life of a poet, Would it be something you'd wish you had? Would it be something to ponder upon Or merely something that would make you go mad? Here lies a part of my soul on display, Here lie my thoughts for all to see, So please, turn pages freely as

By Smita Chaudhary कुछ कहने से पहले इक बार सोच लीजिये। दिल शीशा नहीं है कि कभी भी तोड़ दीजिए।। रिश्ते ये प्यार के है इन्हे प्यार दीजिए । बिना सोचे समझे इन्हे ना छोड़ दीजिए।। आए गर कभी भी किसी आँख में आँसू । बहने ना दीजिए उन्हे फट पौंछ दीजिए।। By Smita Chaudhary
