Kolkata, I can’t love you
Read more: Kolkata, I can’t love youKolkata, I can’t love you,It’s not that I haven’t tried but look at you-You’re weak. You look defeated.To imagine once you were the jewel of India,Headquarters of the biggest empire in the world,They came in with their guns and fleet,They tried to control you,To think lords and barons once planned and plotted against you,To think…

What is Love?
Read more: What is Love?What is love?I feel like I’ve always been in love with the idea of being loved,Do I really know what love is?I know for sure that it’s not the big things because I’ve had them,I didn’t quite feel loved.I crave the little things,Just someone I can talk to,Someone I can be myself with unapologetically,Someone who…

I Am Who I’ve Been Looking For
Read more: I Am Who I’ve Been Looking ForI am who I’ve been looking for,I’m sexy, I’m cute,I’m loud, I’m mute,I’m emotional, I’m vulnerable,I don’t know about you but I think I’m freaking adorable,Sometimes I’m like a child to be awed by the wonders of the world,Sometimes I pave my own path,Sometimes I walk, sometimes I twirl,I’m dancer,I’m a poet,I’m a fairy,And you…

Tua – An Ode to Myself
Read more: Tua – An Ode to MyselfThose little feet, big hair, Mamma’s princess, Daddy’s only heir. “She’ll become a prodigy” Sharp eyes, tiny ears; see, she picked the pen, Prophecy it seems, Little head burdened with their big dreams. * The little princess fell sick, She wouldn’t move, she couldn’t speak. Sleepless nights spent by Mum, Deranged, frightened and the lovers…

I’m not comfortable with anyone who’s not comfortable with my story
Read more: I’m not comfortable with anyone who’s not comfortable with my storyListen to the Spoken Word version of this poem *** I’m not comfortable with anyone who’s not comfortable with my story.Our stories make us who we are.I was young, I was foolish, I was selfish, I was adamant, I was naïve, I was in love.I was confused, I was terrified, I was threatened, I have…
