The cherry blossoms beamed in all their glory,The pleasant winds caressed her face.A familiar voice echoed in the distance,Time stood still as their eyes met yet again. There was no past and no future,No thoughts and no words-Whenever his magical gaze rested on her,Everything dissolved in perfect union…Bowing down to the depth of his love. […]
Joy and Misery. Pleasure and Pain. Love and Fear. Being human is indeed a kaleidoscope of ever-evolving emotions. If all these polarities are a part of the human experience, what makes a person think of themselves as either ‘good’ or ‘bad’, so conclusively? Sometimes, people can be too harsh on themselves because of their past […]
The leaves swaying to the tune of the breeze,Fill my heart with the utmost elation,The playful colours of nature,Painted artistically on the canvas of creation! Be it the crimson blending with verdant huesOr the flowers coyly smiling,As they feel the dew drops’ gentle caress.The sky is a mysterious azureHolding the tender rays of the sun,In […]
You are the poem I refuse to write, The emotions I am trying to fight. You are the blessing I never counted, The curse that keeps me up at night. -LAIRAI K.
You are loved, no matter what. You don’t have to act a certain way, or do something in particular, to be deserving of love. You didn’t mess anything up. Stop blaming yourself. What you did wasn’t horrible or something to feel ashamed about. You are not a ‘bad child’, nothing dreadful is going to happen […]

While laughing with abandon amidst a crowdOr strolling past bare, woebegone treesAlthough I try to deny and shroudYour absence stings me like buzzing bees! Be it our raillery or your raw, unfiltered viewsRuffling your […]
Hey, I remember the last time I was sitting beside you, laughing with wild abandon at one of your wisecracks. I never knew it would be the last, though. How would I? Countless such instances drift through the canvas of my mind, splashing bittersweet emotions of elation and anguish. My heart may not have healed […]
Little games don’t bother me anymore,Or maybe they do…And I cry myself a river,But then I see right throughPicking myself togetherWithout as much as a quiver.You think you can hurt me?Satisfied with the power you wield?Well, think again, for life taught me how to build an invisible shield…It’s a pity, your tricks won’t make me […]
In a galaxy far, far away a beautiful angel, Li sauntered around amidst beams of multicoloured exuberance that were her surroundings. Even from her place of balance and serenity, she felt like she could hear a distant cry from somewhere, a cry of distress…Being the pure soul that she was, she couldn’t bear chaos and […]
