Deloved.


Words failed?
No, not to you, beloved
Haughty to heartless,
You’ve hurled them all.

The unseen chain, the magic lock…
Ha! Fool said the girl in the mirror,
Tool, you snarled, sneering,
At the world you thought you own.


White powder, stainless satin, diamonds and rubies
How can I when I'm broken?
No, please, not the toughest heart,
Mine is not made of steel.

Buttons pressed, voice demanded,
Angelic, droll…snapped…beasty,
A button pressed, voice deluded.
Still, tenacious, you hold that rein.

Condemned to infinite perpetuity
This knot, I curse.

Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today
To bury you... its your turn, deloved!



(Please note not all poems are autobiographical and this isn't one either, its inspired by a friend's experience and no, siani, its not you!! )

Polishing my rusty blog...

         This month is supposed to be the most anticipated month of all months: bro's wedding was scheduled for the 16th, my bday falls on the 30th, my favourite nephew would come finally home and other minor festivities are also in store. But, the heavy toll of the wedding was not something that I expected (the reason being this is the first of its kind in our family),
