Craving
As I crave, I cave to that which never satiates When I fill, I feel full within I meet me at this mysterious point A point where want has never reached For a moment here truth of bliss reveals with ease It's hard to stay here But I wave to it often When I let... Continue Reading →
Forgiveness
Hear the hurt then Empty it grace will fill in those nook and crevices where it sat holding pain dance to the silent tune of breath, Intently slow now, it skilfully reverberates into new patterns Keep searching the hidden trove Pain's usual hideout That which sits between heart and will let it move on and...

Phase
Every season, the cocoon of comfortable thoughts wrap me I entangle in their familiarity and stay until it suffocates Then I strive and struggle to break free Whilst secretly seeking another bigger cocoon Even though my muscle know of the memory when I flew It stays put For I don't recognise the butterfly She is...

Who is God?
When did I think of this question for the first time? Why do I want to know? Who is he to me personally? A collective projection, a self realised idea or someone else and something more… Is he a wealthy man who can supply all good to meet all needs in life Is she a... Continue Reading →
Re-creating self
In therapy, there is a huge focus on self care. What is self care? Does it mean - getting what you want? Striving for it? Indulgences?

Humans mountains

I am one of them- perishable in matter but magnanimous in spirit,persistent with transformation. If you are human mountain a lot depends on you but you have no one to depend on. You...

Alibi
I am working on poem on a lover. A lover like no other and I can’t find the words for the tiniest, faintest sensations I feel. So wait for me, my alibi… wait for me to find the language to describe how it moves in my soul. Coz my joy wants to overflow The universe... Continue Reading →
How Tall am I, Now
This is for all those who break easily- with words, with behaviour, with the gentle insensitivities because we feel so much. After the wave of feeling sorry for yourself passes, comes a pause of realisation. Don’t rush it and don’t heal it. Just sit it and you will be able to measure- How tall you... Continue Reading →
Too soon
I pushed too soon I learned from June burned quickly My scent mangled with my burns Pace again Magnetism in my prayers Too soon is not for those who Bathe in sun But marry the moon - Rupika Moitra
Feel and Heal for the world
I come here to say my truth- INFJ truths, Truth of sensitivity of poetic mind Truth from a healer’s soul I hurt easy I have absorbed vicariously through many power struggles I absorb the pain of the world so easily I try to absolve it through my work I ask myself often What am I mirroring?
A world without masks

Kneading this world
One thought, one believe at a time

Warmth of Enough
The dance of light and fire in me I flew to many aspirations Perhaps, the aspirer compensates for the lack of heart’s warmth Inner fire wanted to be lit with knowing I am loved - a lot I can love - a lot My fire could lit a thousand abodes All those without warmth Many... Continue Reading →
