Solitude
Is when
You are at
Peace with
Your self.
You don’t
Give in to
Sensation -
To give away
Your self.

(Poem themed on Peace)

Poetry

Don’t write me
Pages and pages
Of poetry…

Write a few lines
Of love to me…
And I’ll decipher
The poet in thee.

Uneasy

In every food
I take
I see hunger.

In every breath
I take
I see ventilator.

People starving,
People struggling
To breathe…

Don’t know why
The world’s
Sufferings…
Come pouring
Into me…
And I feel uneasy
In the little
Luxuries…
That life gives me.
