Sound of healing..Rain dripping down onto earth..Soaking everything on its way..Trickling down the leaves,Unhinged by the shapes and sizes…Just wishing to be one with earth..The cozy cold winds, that carry away a few drops.As it finds its own way to drizzle down..The smell of earth, as the rain drenches the sand..The sound of droplets,Which echoes like an orchestra,Playing with the rhythm of…

I miss that smile..That i get to see..In your eyes, as you spot me in the crowd…The way i get to hold your fingers in the crowd,Where no one gets to see…The silent gestures, we exchange..The eyes that speak in volumes…Without the world deciphering it…The sorrow, the happiness, the excitement…And the lust we share without even being near…The endless gazing, into your eyes…From the far end of the…

Learning to be on my own is ideal compared to being with people who never respect boundaries. It’s easier not to explain things to people..and remain in your space doing things that you love. It’s ideal to be a free bird, away from the tangled life built by others’ expectations, that’s a never-ending cycle.Sometimes waiting for someone seems painful, letting ourselves go, setting ourselves free…

Daily writing promptWhat do you do to improve your sleep?View all responses If you had asked me, a few years back, then i would have said, sleep is not quite essential, as i was clouded with the thought of being an exceptional mother (a misconception i carried forever).

Nights seem emptier,harder to breathe even when i am in a space like this;without you beside me,I feel like i am deprived of oxygen;Every time i look into your eyes,i feel like i am diving deeper into it;the way you love me with your eyes,without even being closer to me,is what i miss the most….i wanna be closer to you;feel your breath upon my skin;the way your voice echoes in my ear,tickling…

I have a weird habit of noticing the people around me, and I am helplessly noticing that everyone wants to either prove themselves or show off that they can do better than anyone else.

Ever since I began…
