Rise Again

Swallow the sunlight

and

let its shine

reek out of your skin.

Tenderly,

dropping the hints

of how strong

your bones have become.

Like Fire

Do not let

the brutality of this world

drown your heart

into an abyss.

But

if it does

then, do not be

afraid to

rise up again,

like fire.

Moon

“I am too moon to sulk in sadness,”

I tell them

When the day questions

how I glow from within

and

the night asks

how I keep the

darkness away.

Au Fait

There is something

lonely about you.

Something innocent

about that loneliness.

And that alone

makes you capable

of saving.

Some Days

Some days,

you’re just happy,

with hope finding infinity

in your smile,

and

dreams, waiting for you

to open your eyes

and jump into reality.

Some days,

sunlight drowns itself

deep within your skin

and

makes you glow

effortlessly.

Some days,

you just know

that no matter what happened

to you in the past,

you deserve to

start living your life

again.

Soil or Water?

They thought

that

I was like soil.

Perhaps,

this is why

they tried to

mould my life

in a way

that made sense

to their existence.

But

here’s the thing

I was always

w a t e r.

Empath

Go ahead

and tell me

that how terribly

wrong I was

for being so good

to people

who burnt my heart

to pieces

but I will still

speak in flowers

and

I will still

heal like rain.

Seasons in You

Tell me,

how many storms

have passed through

your body

for you to

become this soft?

Tell me,

how many winters

has your skin soaked

for you to become

this warm and

stay so tender?

Flower Notes

The sun will rise again

and the breeze will kiss

your face with tenderness.

The oceans will reply

to your call and

the earth will

bloom with colours

of all kind.

And

your breath.

Oh, your breath

will give out life

everyday.

For now,

just remember

to love yourself

a little more

with each passing day.

Unabashedly

and

Unapologetically.

Be Love or Nothing

Hate is too heavy

a word for me.

I would rather

reek of empathy

than apathy.

Resemble moon

than fire.

Smile more

than bleed often.

This is how it is.

This is how it always

will be.

and

This is how it should be.
