Between the two strings | Tanmaya Kshirsagar

February 3, 2022

Between the two strings,
Of wood and deer thorn;
Exists a universe of its own,
Having perhaps the better claim.

The first one stops you in time
And second, resurrects you back.
The peaceful void in between,
Transfigures you,
Calming … [Read the rest...] “Between the two strings | Tanmaya Kshirsagar”

Grandpa | Ila Railkar

January 30, 2022

What do I say about Grandpa, who died today?
After three years of being bedridden
My first thought is:
Good riddance

His dark eyes stare at me from the frame
A part of him is still in the air
I … [Read the rest...] “Grandpa | Ila Railkar”

His Silhouette | Bhavya Prabhakar

January 29, 2022

My dreams are following the unconscious mind;
Where my body is in a torpid state
Where my feelings and beliefs are getting intimate
With his silhouette in a dark, crowded place,
As if I were heavily sedated in that process,… [Read the rest...] “His Silhouette | Bhavya Prabhakar”

Traitor | Bindiya Bedi Charan Noronha

January 27, 2022

Are you sipping the green tea of health?
I remain with my melancholic black tea and wait.

Are you absconding to dormant words?
I remain with my rage and wait.

Are you tasting bitter fruit and pretending to smile?
I … [Read the rest...] “Traitor | Bindiya Bedi Charan Noronha”

The Waiting Room | Tushar Sen

January 26, 2022

Strophe

The sight of you today tickled me                  to think
If the spring is looking for me still, ego’s
Little tussle delayed                my recoil to you, and
You failed       to secern broken          from shattered,
When the gravity        between us      collapsed,… [Read the rest...] “The Waiting Room | Tushar Sen”

Chain Reaction | Karishma V.M

January 22, 2022

 

Kusuma bai sweeps, mops and scrubs
a smug smile on her dirt-stained face
Sweet thoughts run through her vacant head
the promise of good fortune, in a day’s pace
She thinks of Bholu, her ladla and good for nothing … [Read the rest...] “Chain Reaction | Karishma V.M”

The World is a battlefield | Ali Ashhar

January 19, 2022

Of all the storms that failed to
perish us;
Epitomize the sturdy roots
holding us
Of all the lumps etched,
on our soul;
Reminding of the warrior
enduring every
an ounce of bane.
Of all the melancholy,
scourging our persona;… [Read the rest...] “The World is a battlefield | Ali Ashhar”

Dark | Debadrita Dey

January 18, 2022

The darkness crept up
From behind my window
And formed a silhouette,
Of a black cascade
Resembling an epitome of lost beauty.

The wildfire of an unknown darkness
Mirrored in my dark eyes
Behind the darkness of my last tear,… [Read the rest...] “Dark | Debadrita Dey”
