Reverence

Exuberant focus,
Defying the wind-
The ardent prodigy,
Extirpated an effigy,
Amidst traditional enemies.

Venerated for virtuosity;
Upholding his panache;
In a palatial museum,
Shone the sculpture,
Rewarded for valour.

Awestruck

The dark night smiles for you, Your eyes light up its world. It enjoys your company, Those adorable self talks, The way you visit your dream, Life then seems to have a perfect theme. It ignores the stars, Hardly cares about the moon, Persuades the sun to sleep a little more. The dark night doesn't want to rise, A secret admirer it is, Wishes to be forever lost in you. ©songbriti

Winters will come and go but mental health is not seasonal, it is a permanent part of our lives. The month of May is the ship which will be back next year but...O Captain! My Captain!...

From endless conversations to awkward silences, we have come a long way. We made ourselves believe that this is it and those forced smiles and formalities now act as radical activists of maturity, suppressing the voice of our hearts. Defying the gravity of good times and what had been so special, I walk on the concrete road, that has become an anchor to the deserted garden of wilted moments. The solitary confinement that I find at night is brimming with fogs of abysses overpowering the faith I had in the strength of our connection. I have so much to say to you, but if I were to make a choice of summing it up to you, I would say "I miss you." It is as simple as that, I miss you because I have travelled miles of treasured times with you. I have laughed out loudly in your company, without being concerned about the world that was asleep. I have shared the tiniest details of my life and the most dreadful nightmares with you. I haven't learnt to fabricate the care I have for y...
