'Fake' is the new black!!

On the foundations of hatred and envy
Cemented by ill-will and lies
Walls of foam painted with pretense
This house built on doubt and distrust; thrives!!


The wolf is my next-door neighbor
Meaningless conversations to fill up the void inside
In a town full of strangers 
We call some of them our "own" allies!!


Tea-time chatter
Laughing on a character's sad demise!
Or about first-copy merchandise
These crystals doth diamonds outshine!!


Songs with profanity 
Played aloud on loop
Exchanging pleasantries
Perhaps, that's why 'Fake' is the new black!!


And all the sentient beings crying, 
"This house is falling apart!!"

The Monsoon Ballad - 3 : Floral Romance!!

And the young and handsome Flower In full bloom Stood proud and tall in his glory "majestified"! Sweet summoning scent Of his perfume sets the heart a-throbbing Pulsating and b eating Leaves the senses mesmerized!! You see his proud stance and arrogant charm But seldom its known  that secretly he stalks the Sun! While he knows not That the bees and the drones Are soon gonna arrive Uninvited!!

Confessions of a Turbulent Mind!

Sometimes I wonder why Solitude has become such a crowded place!! Make 'em stop; these cacophonies of screaming silences; they're deafening!!!! Who built this barricade in the middle of our bed?! Why do our conversations resemble a talk show on mute?! Can you tell?! Jet-speeding through the highways in my mind, I'm afraid, the light at the end of the tunnel might be a halogen bulb put there to illuminate the sign board that reads - "DEAD END"!!! :-|
