Trust the beauty of new beginnings,That unfolded unexpectedly,Washing away pain and disappointmentsWith tender, unfamiliar moments. How they became the harbingers of hope,When you felt jaded and shortchanged by lifeMaking you believe in magic again. Despite the looming shadows of trepidation,Their comforting warmth and disarming affectionUrged your heart to revel in fairy tales once more. Trust […]
Love is just a word nowEmpty and meaningless, We were Love,Intertwined by fate and destiny,Separated by rigidity and prejudice. Our story was always doomedA tragedy of such intensity,That it borders on comedy. We were Love,A Love that will never unite,Yet is more genuine and alive,Than most social arrangements masquerading as love. A Love that can […]
Hope is a dangerous thing,Like chasing a beautiful mirage… The naive heart likes to believe,That it will win over the head Know that duty triumphs love,As bitter as that is for the heart to accept. So break free of all delusions,And seek the oasis of joy within you…Amidst the desert of utter hopelesness! -LAIRAI K.
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. […]

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 […]
They say a hopeful heart can overcome seemingly insurmountable obstacles. Hope is the warm blanket that allows you to snuggle in comfort and reassurance amidst the freezing cold of chaos and uncertainty. Funnily enough, people wait around for a huge breakthrough or development to allow their hearts to be bathed in the blissful beauty of […]
‘Out of sight, out of mind’, they sayBut what about the muffled whispers of the heart,Reminding it every night, every day! 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 […]
