Rain



In the realm of sound and taste, familiarity abounds, 
Thoughts wander freely, like kids in summer rain's surround.
Unrestrained and unorganized, they dance with glee, 
Oh, to be like them, wild and untamed, is what I plea.

This moment holds a touch of melancholy's embrace, 
Wild and sad, akin to a dwarven mystic's warlock face, 
Or a pink unicorn dinosaur, taunting me with sinister grace, 
Such craziness unfolds, leaving my heart's rhythm misplaced.

The pages of life turn at an astonishing pace, 
Just moments ago, serenity adorned my space, 
Yet within minutes, I find myself drenched anew, 
Caught in the downpour, drowning in feelings that ensue.

I profess my love for the rain, its soothing descent, 
But when it falls, my depression doubles, leaving me spent, 
The irony prevails, a contradiction in disguise, 
Rain brings both solace and the weight of gloomy skies.

In the depths of my being, questions remain untied, 
Answers elude me, like moonlight's whispered guide, 
Just as the blood moon casts its eerie glow, 
I bleed within, seeking understanding's flow.

It's bewildering how swiftly I absorb life's lore, 
Yet I stumble and fall faster than ever before, 
Each descent deeper than the previous one's plight, 
A constant battle, within the darkness I fight.

As raindrops cascade, I plummet through the air, 
Yearning for the ground, where emotions declare, 
My sole desire, when I meet Earth's tender trace, 
To sense the impact, finding my destined space.

A Blank Verse Poetry

I ran this morning. Gray sky, nothing special. Weather that doesn’t force you to feel anything. Usually, I wander without purpose. Today, something stopped me. Time is a trap. We pretend it’s limited, but it isn’t. So we rush through it—steps, choices, life—until it all blurs. The small things disappear. The smell of earth, the quiet air. Gone. A song got stuck in my head. “I’ll stop the world and melt with you.” Unwanted. Persistent. How did it get in? Maybe fate. Maybe nothing. I don’t believe in destiny, but here I was—stuck in the sound, stuck in a loop. The world paused inside me. I didn’t move. The day went on. Hands trembled—not from connection, but from the weight of existing. Scars on skin—maps of past failures. Nothing clean, nothing clear. I touched a cheek. No softness. Smoke? Habit? Grip loosened—like sanity slipping. Wanting to let go, but afraid of the emptiness that follows. I kissed a cheek. A stupid move. A laugh broke the silence. A glitch. A mistake. Coffee a...

The Slow Death of the Familiar Lie

The 2025 elections just ended. Not with fireworks, not with riots—just the quiet unraveling of yet another chapter in our nation’s long and complicated dance with democracy. There’s something different in the air this time. Something subtle, like the way dusk falls before you even realize the day is gone. You feel it before you name it: a shift. Not seismic, perhaps not even visible to the untrained eye. But there, like a whisper at the edge of a crowded room. People have grown wiser. And no, this isn’t naive optimism. It’s not the kind of blind faith that wears campaign colors and chants slogans. It’s the kind of wisdom that comes from repeated heartbreak—from choosing hope too many times, only to be betrayed by men in suits and smiles. From believing in change only to see it morph into the same old trapo politics dressed in newer fonts. “Pain is a brutal but effective teacher—especially in a country where memory is often the first casualty of every election cycle.” But maybe ...

Stars and Songs

It’s 2 am and I am still awake. Though I had a long nap this afternoon, for some reason, my stubborn brain suddenly erupts in these manic streaks. My mind suddenly reboots itself and in a couple of minutes, I become as hyper as a kid who just ate 27 chocolate bars.  Since it’s pointless to lie down and struggle to find the best position, I took my laptop, go out at the porch and started writing. As sat there, I looked at the heavens and there shines my moon together with the stars. The sky was barren of clouds and you can perfectly see how the earth is blanketed by the dark sky as the moon and the stars gave it an enchanting touch.  The moon’s light is waning, so are my thoughts. I guess I am lunatic as I can write lots whenever the moon goes full. I consider the moon as my muse so I wondered, Why can't I shift my obsession to the stars?  I think this is quite improbable. Stars are illusions, I mean, most of the time, the light that we see from these stars are actually t...
