Colour is overrated


Forgive me if I am a tad incoherent in what I write here, I am still collecting the scattered pieces of my mind that have just been blown away by watching a brilliant film called ’12 Angry men’. You don’t need me to tell you what it’s about, you have imdb or google for that. This is not going to movie review route, don’t worry. I am aware that I suck at them.
I am writing this because I am constantly amazed by how much a well-written story can captivate me. The beautifully written characters with intricate backstories that give them a certain depth and complexity and make their motives confounding to the audience, and dialogue infused with genuine emotion sans melodrama and intelligent humour devoid of innuendoes and sarcasm. How can you not love the oldies?

Mirror


It does me good
Having you before me
To plot graphs of me
Eye cannot see
As opposites
We grow infinitely.

But this Parallel
Between us
Let it be.
For of what use
Are two mirrors
Stuck together
With nothing to reflect?

Stay

On the outskirts of my consciousness
Words come, touch and flee
Having made love to my insomnia
At dawn, they abandon me
