  • Pause (Inspired By The Song PAUSE By Prateek Kuhad)

    Author shares an endearing poem inspired by the song Pause by Prateek Kuhad

    Pause

    You’ve been in love before
    But for me you could keep fal-sity
    If all we have is a night to go
    Doesn’t make less an eternity
    Is this moment damn long for you (?)
    Or am I too hard to hold (?)
    Let go off the tales of truth
    Look into my eyes and say…

    Can you lie?
    We’re all alone
    Can you say you love me
    One more night long
    Oh
    Kiss me slow
    Let my eyes spill down
    Some kohl pearls over

    Everything will change
    But the moments will stay
    In my hands that wouldn’t hold you, again.
    Do you feel the pain (?)
    Or your eyes have learnt to leave(?)
    Wander as we kiss the dawn away.
    Until the dark all starts to fade
    Just fake a smile and stay…

    Can you lie?
    We’re all alone
    Can you say you love me
    One more night long
    Oh
    Kiss me slow
    Let my eyes spill down
    Some kohl pearls over

    Yes the light is up again
    For our colors’ good exchange
    Yet the coldness is in way
    Of your blues and my greys
    The glasses crack up open
    As I see the hour slip away
    It’ll be another night
    If you promise to be awake….

    Can you pause?
    We’re all alone
    Let the truth be hidden
    One more night long
    Oh
    Don’t let me go
    Let my eyes spill down
    Some kohl pearls over.

  • Sunset Poem – Sun Is A She

    A sunset ride to the backwaters of Kerala could evoke the following thoughts. Kerala is called ” the Gods own country” for a reason. The greenery, water, nature – Will it be enough ever? The sunset made me think how much we relate with the sun. And thus this sunsey poem was born.

    Sun - sunset poem

    SUN IS A SHE! – A sunset poem
    ______________

    Scorch as much as you want
    Oh! Sparkling sunshine
    For your heat is loathed
    Till tears that you shed,
    Hiding behind the clouds
    Unrelentingly unabashedly
    Flood their feet off!

    Hide as much as you want,
    Oh! Beautiful Sunset
    For your day never ends
    Till your breath remains
    Floating behind the waters
    Lighting up your abode

    Emerge from the tags
    Oh! Dear woman
    A mother, sister, wife, friend
    She is being the superhuman
    Hiding behind the tags,
    There is a soul so powerful
    Which when shines bright
    Blinds them with the radiance

    And hence the benevolent tags

    Woman is like sun!

    A woman is like a Sun. For those who view her from afar, she would be the brightest star, spreading light everywhere, being so powerful, being respected all over social media(surya namaskar) but for those right under her nose! For them, she would be scorching.

    The tears that she shed hiding behind the clouds are normalised as the rain is romanticised. “Women are bound to cry for men don’t cry.”
    Isn’t that the norm?

    We love to watch the sunset. Poetically speaking, the sun merged with the water in the eternal horizon. Little do they perceive that the sun is scorching in another corner when they are under the twilight. To all women out there. Know your worth.

    Don’t try to be the superwoman who is respected because she “sacrifices” everything for others. It is a hidden agenda to tie her with expectations. Be the spokeswoman who is capable of loving herself, standing up for her pride and challenging the world with her mettle.
