DARKNESS OF YOU

NOTE: This poem is dedicated to my beloved late grandfather. We shared a really special bond with him and his death has left us in peril. He was my personal counselor and understood me in ways that nobody can.

(Here darkness of you means absence of you)





Those soulful eyes that shined so bright
were becoming dull day by day
That shining smile was nowhere to be found.
That heart of gold
was slowly turning cold.

How scared you were
Your shaking voice
You knew death anticipated you
but we were still wishing on a wishing star.

Never thought there would be a day
where we would have to
live a life
in the darkness of you
a dreadful nightmare that has come true.

Still, remember
the day we lost you to covid
18th of November.

How blessed I felt
having you in my life,

'Little Best Friend'

that's what you called me

Now, what will I do
in the darkness of you?

TWO WORLDS

(image source: google) So many small worlds within one world everybody lives in their own world. Broken family, treacherous friends that's the world she lived in. Faking smiles, finding hope trying to love with all she got. People whispering, "why is she so cold?" little do they know, her world enervating her poor soul. She tries to find someone, who will stick by her side till the end a lover or a friend. Then she met a girl, so forthcoming and guileless. Her world is what she desires, her friendship is what she seeks. A friend, a soulmate is what she is to her, she gave her a heart to rely on, a shoulder to cry on. Making her bleak world  a better place to live, She found comfort  in her mellow world. ~Priya

Silent Witness

Silent Witness You're the one he asks for You're the one he needs. I beg he forgets you, Whom he longs for, Because he's my only greed. I built him temples, And watched as he worshiped you instead. I built worlds for my creed, But you were the deity all along. I will ask you to leave, And watch it all unravel. I wanted him to abandon the temples, But I watched his body rot by your feet. So I ask you not to leave, For you are his creed. I will watch from the sidelines, For my heart will bleed Every time you pass me by. -Riya
