I have always believed that poetry is the language of the heart. The words have never failed me before, but now, often I end up grasping at the threads of imagination. Holding on to the last of syllables. These letters are trying to slip away from my clasp. Is my heart slowly, painlessly, forgetting how to talk?
It was my desire to revive my dormant poetry blog this year, but with so many projects that I am currently working on, the task is quite challenging. So here I am, writing short poems and rewriting some old ones, to get back on my Poetry Wagon. I sincerely hope that you will like them. 🙂

Please don’t hesitate to leave any feedback in the comments section, I really appreciate it 🙂
Thanks for reading.
I loved all of them, Raj. This is motivating me to write poems after-awhile, too. You should write poetry more often. I would love to read it. 🙂
Thank you so much dear 😀
I didn’t find the poems sad. I especially enjoyed memories – as an older woman, it had a lot of meaning for me. Even the “I count the days in ticks and tocks” brings back memories of old grandfather clocks.
Very evocative, Raji. It’s time to start writing poetry again, for sure. Would love to read more. I especially like ‘Chandelier’.
PS: Is there anything you can’t do brilliantly? ♥
hehehe you are very sweet Corinne… Thank you so much 😀
I love your poems and I’m so happy to see you writing them again! They are beautiful and each one evokes sadness and gives me goosebumps. Keep writing poetry; I love reading it
Thank you so much Sanch… you are an awesome Poetess yourself 🙂
Really lovely!!!
And nice poetic name too…Sunjhini 🙂
Cheers,
CRD
thank you 🙂
These are really nice. Short, simple and meaningful. if you don’t find time to write full-fledged posts, you can do these poem images on the lines of what Saru does and then share them on your blog/insta etc.
Yes, Saru is such an inspiration. I am trying to write shorter ones and post on instagram.
if this is how you write without being in form, Raji, I think you’ll make me speechless with what will come out when you are in form. 🙂 it has happened before, with your shape poetry.
Hahaha you still remember them. Thank you so much… Your words made me smile.
Hi Sunjhini,
Lovely, spontaneous thoughts, weaved well into poetry…I wouldn’t call them sad as, they depict the visage of life in its most natural way. 🙂
Just stumbled upon a tweet and clicked on it to read more.
Thank you so much for reading. Very happy that you liked them 🙂
I can’t pick a favourite. Chandelier, probably. You should do these more because I haven’t had a chance to read one of your poems for a long time now. Do it more. 🙂
Thank you so much Naba
I guess the Herat does grow numb! A great collection!
I remember as a little girl I wrote a poem on a bird!
And it went for the school magazine!!!!
Anywyas, what I was saying is that your lines are so good, I would love to write similarly! 🙂👏🏼
That’s pretty awesome… You should write more then 😀
