Poem: The Two Doors

-
Walking past the past,
one shall stumble across a day,
fears shall reach the deepest of souls,
while the overlord stands at the bay.
Two doors shall lie ahead,
between which the truths shall be wired.
A choice shall be made,
and destiny shall be acquired.
Who shall stand at this point,
ironies may follow the one.
The left may be right and
right may not be the right one. 
Shall one hear the voices that echo,
shall one view the sights that surround,
one will be cursed with senses possessed,
and the true choice shall not be found.
But shall one close his senses,
shall one walk through one's soul,
one shall find the choice that was right,
and overlord shall provide one's role.
Walking past the past,
when one will stumble across this day,
overlord shall not interfere in choices,
but he shall show one, the way.

Poem: Acceptable

-
I see you standing at the door, fidgeting with your fingers, thinking if you should knock, if you will be a bother to them. And so I open the door, pull you in with a steady hand, and show you that empty seat, seeking you in your absence. You look for discomfort in their eyes, and yet you don't find any. Something must be wrong. Is this a prank; you think. And I see the years of hurt peeping through your scepticism. But I know it kept you safe in a world you never felt a part of. But listen, if you live in a burning house, it seems the whole world is on fire. And guess what; it's not. Oh I wish you would believe me. But I know it takes more than that, so instead I make a pot of tea. Give a steaming cup in your hand, and sit with you for a while. And I know my tea is never perfect, I put a lot of milk, and very little sugar, and sometimes forget the cardamom. I mean is that even acceptab- "It's good!" I snap out of my thoughts, as you tell me how good the tea is. A...

Poem : Haunted House

-
When I say the words 'Haunted House', what comes to your mind? An iron gate, too easy to go past, and an old man asking you not to. Bats flying at the slightest whispers, and crickets chirping like they always do. The sunlight never reaching its rooms, still shadows seemingly ruling these places. An interconnected net of spider webs, existing but in the tiniest of spaces. Maybe the ghost lives in the attic, waiting to pounce on the wannabe explorers. Or maybe it's a safe-house for Deatheaters, who are trying to escape the powerful Aurors. And that makes complete sense, but hear me out once. There is this house across my street, which looks perfectly normal at first glance. But the family lost the father last year, and this fact seems to live in its nuance. I had known these people for over 18 years, and something, I feel, is just not right. The people I knew have dissolved in shadows, and the house is filled with a lot of quiet. The sons talk a lot less to each other, and t...

Poem: Not Just You and Me

-
When did you start breathing so evenly, and how do you sleep so well these days? When did your heart start feeling so light, and how did your smile become so genuine? Maybe you are through that tunnel, one that you had to travel alone. And yet you weren't alone, were you? How could you be so lucky? Those lone walks under the scorching sun, that you had convinced yourself you liked; who was waiting for you in the room hoping you would be back safely? That long night when you were ready to drown in despair as you usually did; who hugged you and reminded you that you were never alone in this? And when your world had crumbled, when you were numbingly afraid to get up; who gave you a place to get yourself together? Who saved you from yourself? All the times you thought you were alone, there was always a hand, wasn't there? You were the one scared to hold it; afraid it will suddenly pull back. And I don't blame you for the hesitation. Because after all, dear friend, in the most ...
