The Shawl

As the December chill shrouds the air,I wrap myself in your shawl,A symbol of your nurturing warmth. Be it the watch I wear everyday, or the food I cook,Your intricately crafted greeting cards I cherish,The clothes in my wardrobe, or my favorite book.Everything is imprinted with your boundless, unconditional love. I still remember, clear as […]

My Mind

Like tumultous waves in an ocean,My thoughts were rising and crashing.It felt impossible not to heed,When they beckoned me. Some alluring and beautiful,While some irresistibly terrifying.A few silly and meaningless,All playing their part to keep me entrapped! Despite their relentless nature,I noticed a tiny beacon of Light…Slowly emanating from within me! I resolved to focus […]

Disillusioned

Sometimes in life, you meet people that you really admire, not for how they look or what they do, but simply for who they are. They seem to be a paragon of exceptional qualities with an untarnished, innocent nature. Their simplicity and purity surprises you and you literally adore the person that they are. They […]

The Divine Feminine

Embrace the Divine Feminine within you,Her empathy, her softness, her intuition,The longing to nurture and care… Know that true empowerment,Is not in trying to be masculineBut in celebrating the boundless strength,That has been in your heart all along. Try as they might to obliterate her,By pillaging her consecrated presenceOr through conniving mind games,Her essence lives […]

New beginnings…

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…

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 […]

The Mirage

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 Last Goodbye

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. […]

Being human…

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 […]

Morning Magic

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 […]
