Your face is the canvas
I paint my emotions on
Even if my heart is left
Crumbling black
After your shoeprints.

Canvas
Drinking Buddies
Glasses of pain
Cocktails of distress
Let’s raise a toast
And day, this round’s on me, friend
Start talking.
Lies, Damn Lies and Secrets
I can see it in your lies
The secrets you spill to the world
Like they’re useless facts
So they won’t poison your insides alone
I hear you.
Storytime
You say you got a story
And I say I know it already
Because I’ve read you before you wrote it
And you ask how it is
And I say
Make me nicer.
Our Hidden Truth
It sees you
Our hidden truth
It sees the games you play
Out of fear and anger and judgement
It plays you
In my eyes, action and voice.
Dreams
Dreams,
Because life is too short for hangovers
And the body, too precious to abuse.
Hyderabad Girls
Where lipstick meets biryani
I say love can be both
Hot-headed and hot-blooded
And you say you’ll be sugar
Long as I’m spice
Escape
In narrow escape routes
Inside games of shame
You hid
Breathing unabashed
And that’s where I found you
Defiant refugees together,
We loved.
