Writings
In the gentle night,
When the world slows to a rest,
I turn to you, the one to whom,
My dreams and fears are confessed.
You're the keeper of my secrets,
The holder of my heart,
The one who’s loved me through it all,
Right from the very start.
You've been with me through the laughter,
The tears that no one sees,
The hopes that flutter silently,
Like leaves upon the breeze.
Together in the ...
In the quiet realm of bound delight,
A notebook rests, a canvas white.
Its cover whispers tales untold,
A sanctuary for thoughts to unfold.
Pages crisp, like morning dew,
Await the pen, its ink anew.
Lines stretch out in rhythmic grace,
An open space, a sacred place.
In graphite dreams and inked desires,
The notebook holds creative fires.
It cradles secrets, hopes, and fears,
A chronicle of pass...
Memories from Filling Braille Notebooks
My young mind connected the dots,
And decided that paper meant freedom.
Paper is how worlds are built,
How I can say with a straight face that I know what a sunset is.
Once I feel words under my fingers,
I know there is no turning back.
Six tiny points in a neat little box burst open and become galaxies and gazelles.
Young and wobbling,
I did not know the ...
Fresh paper
A clean open breast with delicate lines
Nudge me early in the morning
Gobble up my every word
Encouraging accepting
Feeling bad when I don’t make time
Once a day
Everyday grows into a habit
A practice
A love affair
My palm on your cover
Fingering your edges
Tracing your binding
Open
My nib caresses with scratches
Ink flows bleeds
I give you take...
Each page is a stage from a lifetime
stories of lifelines. Keeper of the book with just one look inside would jeopardize someone’s future. No hands should touch the book or look within. People who have losted kin and their life turned into a downward spin. The keeper of the notebook is the reaper with a cold look....
I take my notebook everywhere
Stick the pencil in my hair
People they will stop and stare
They sure mind but I don’t care!
It holds all my memories
Thoughts, ideas, hopes, and dreams
Sometimes I try journaling
So don’t look at my notebook, please
In there I am strong and weak
So do not go and take a peek
Come and tell me what you seek
Or else you will think I’m a geek!...
My notebook
Bought right before sixth grade
Animated gems on the cover
Crisp lined paper
Ready to be filled
With ideas, hopes, scribbles and plans
Where I wrote about an initiation
To become BFFs
I wrote to Josh
But I never gave it to him
I drew pictures
Of Harry Potter characters
I had crushes on
I wrote about my love for Tom Riddle
Into a fan fiction
Math problems
I made the pages into paper ...
Holder of secrets
Dreams turned reality
What was once a thought
Came to life through you
Time will age you
Ink will fade
But unless burnt
You live for centuries
Thanks to you
We know our ancestors
Someone who lived years ago
Can talk to me now
You immortalise
Wisdom lives forever through you....
