Cortana

"I could in a sense, feel my entire being dancing this terrifyingly detailed molecular dance; nothing in my nascent brain could have even comprehended what I had felt.."

Lost and Found

"You had forgotten; time and time again have you forgotten it. As you pull yourself up on your knees and stand erect in that cave- you finally remember. You are not a scared little man in a cave filled with bats."

The Forgotten

"The shadows which lie imprisoned within me- Shall rear their hooded heads, and hiss back at the light; And what can stop them from bursting forth?"

Crossroads of Nightmares

"Such are our thoughts which cross upon
A single coordinate in time and space.
I'll see through his eyes, and he'll see through mine-
The darkness of our pupils shall find comfort
In the company of each other's deepest fears."

Shut the door, please!

"Good day ma'am. Good night too.
This door is forever closed for you."

S t o r m s

"I close my eyes, and I can hear the great booming in the distance. I open my eyes and stare at the scribbled page. Gone are those days."

C a n v a s

Is there something wrong?

I looked up, painfully parting my eyelids.
My eyes hazily focused somewhere beyond the walls. Almost a whisper, I gasped with my last bit of breath-

"Help me, please…"

The Beauty of a Rainwashed Beach.

"The heavens part, light shines forth
Cloaking the sprites rising from 'neath my feet-
The waves crash and roar their cheers
Rain's gone- all's done-
Let's come out and play!"

The Mathematician’s Folly

"Every day we die a brand-new death-
Every time we mourn for the past we lost-
Every hour we spend in foolish regret
For things we never paid a cost.
We hold them back, we gather the dust
In our sorry little tiny figurative palms-
We cherish them like some meagre alms..."

I watched a beetle: I learnt about God.

"Something had transpired between this creature, who was oblivious to the purpose of my existence in this small space where our lives overlapped, and me: and I wasn't sure what it was."

The Cradle of Dust

"A little something I had written a long time back, out of sheer frustration mingled with sadness upon witnessing the decadence and death of an empire of what had been Vijayanagar- Hampi."

Fall

"Why would I do it?" He thought. "To spite all those who hurt you."

Inanis facti Sunt in admiratio

Spire

"What have we left to do? Other than construct a new eyrie atop that bent misshapen spire- like scar-tissue over a gaping wound-.."

Lost Lights

"You wonder how many times you have been through this."

A suicide note

"He liked to watch people live and be good at it. He didn't know how dead he was inside himself, and how badly he was killing himself from within amidst it all."
