My heart is bruised by silent screams,
A battlefield of broken dreams.
With every attempt made to find myself,
I lost a part of me that safely existed.
In the mirror's silent gaze,
I meet a thousand unnamed days.
A secret self plays every part,
Not what they see, not what they tell.
A whisper still says,
"Be still, Be true,
The world outside begins with you"

First day on 23rd March 2002
Keralite
A fleeting glance with unseen gird
Eyes that weave unspoken words.
They glimmer like lanterns in the dark
Eyes that linger sorrow with a smirk.
Mirrors framed with lashes long, a quiet sea
Eyes with ripples of what used to be.
A book with pages torn
Eyes brimming with hope reborn.

Would you believe if the tales are tattled?
Or would you hear the muffle of the unuttered?
There is a meaning to seek,
Inner conflicts to be shaken.
What's the gain of bottling in?
How many waves to make?
Just how much noise until
We deter away the fear of
Stopping to sit still
To listen to ourselves?-
Days passed by not knowing
The borders between yesterday and today,
The blurred borders of today and tomorrow.
Yesterday felt like today
And day-to-day where today becomes tomorrow.
Existence demanded transition,
A quick and easy transition
In the midst of which fraternity reduced to a ruthless callous...-
Happiness isn't always bright,
Sometimes it appears in shades of grey.
When you've walked through fire you look for the next sign of smoke,
Staring closely no hot ember finds it's way to you.
Maybe everything passes with the waning moon, smaller each day till it's gone.
Maybe pleasure and pain are accomplices
in the heist of peace.
They say time heals
Yet the impact lasts longer.
While one gives us an episodic memory, the other leaves an imperishable scar...

CHOICE
The most interesting feature concerning life yet the most challenging task to confront.
Thus the courage to accept, own and pick your choices is crucial,
Because at the end of the day when you stand before your reflection,
You should be able to meet eyes with yourself free from remorse and regrets.
"If you don't risk the usual then you will have to settle for the ordinary".-
Cheers to those people who adds colour to life,
Hand in hand or far apart,
Cheers to all who stood tall when life became challenging.
Cheers to our epoch of memories,
To our fights and our days of learning.
Big hugs to the special and rare bond of amity that we share,
For this journey of eternity is well balanced because of y'all!!-
Whatever you do you will be criticized.
Good or bad, there will always be something to be condemned about.
Nevertheless, at times it is better to accept criticism and progress,
Rather than ruining ourselves with false praises.-
I sat alongside the windowpane
Which was smothered with haze.
My morning coffee evaporating,
And my gaze fixed on the blooms of petunia.
The doors of my core opening to new beginnings,
A change from the inside.
Deciding to start everything afresh,
With a spirit of benevolence!!-
Every grief is a load,
But the most throbbing aches are the ones which goes unexpressed and unspoken,
For they drift on the fringes in search of liberation bewildered.
Thereby, chiseling the conscience with the most speechless truths..
