Communication: An insuperable task

Tuesday 9 September 2014

Communication, an involuntary task I’ve got to deal with everyday. So unconsciously I slur out the words that don’t need to be said, the words that are laughed upon. I avoid everyone; no one wants to be a part of my predicament.  I scream words in my mind, so eloquent and beautiful that I started walking gracefully as if I was graceful. I’d spent a lot of lonely days with myself, enunciating beautiful words which I only used in my dreams, impressing the world with my grace. But I was graceless. My friends thought it was funny because they could not hear what I heard. And in that moment I wished my father had taught me how to be bold. I wanted to be someone whose soul never wavered, but it did, repeatedly due to the insulation.

 I tried to say the words I immensely repeated in my head while they laughed. I thought if I hurry up and speak fast, some words might make their way outside and they would stop laughing. But to my consternation, all that came out was a little puff of wind and some little words that I remembered learning from my parents. What didn’t come out was the billowing smoke and what they didn’t hear were the explosions of magniloquence inside of me. I failed but gazed upfront, past them, to infinity.




He does know

Wednesday 2 April 2014


In the middle of a hot sunny day
On a big boat around the bay
Your eyes will follow a stream
It’ll look familiar to you from a dream

She’ll be sitting there, lost in introspection
Looking at her, you’ll feel a connection
It will remind you of your first love
The one that you were so proud of

You’ll reach out to her to have a closer look
In her own habitat she’ll be,
 With nothing but just a book
Her gleaming hazel eyes will meet yours
She has known you all her life, she’ll ensure

You’ll be taken aback, that’s for sure
Is this the first love the second time, are you sure?
But when your mind collides with hers, you’ll know
That it’s the first love indeed, don’t let this go
