Glass bottle

I am A glass bottle. Once, I was full With milkshake But now, I am empty. One day, A straw went through my neck, Through my chest, into my guts And sucked- Everything came out. If I had had hands, I would have squeezed the straw -Choked it, And stopped the whole process. But I…

The boat was at the shore 'Did you see?' My friend asked. I turned around and it was All amber rays, Tearing through the clouds. We ran with our slippers in our hands The sand was wet and the wind licked our hair. My friend reached first. 'Chacha,' he asked, 'How was the pull today?'…

Have you been to the moon?

I have been to the moon. The conditions are harsh. Skin burns, When you face the sun. Blood freezes, When you are in the dark. They are correct There is no oxygen. You live At the mercy of your tank. It is hard to stay still You keep oscillating a bit. But don't seek comfort.…

Change- day by day

  Would you read a poem? I looked up at the night sky And realized, the sky has changed. All the stars have switched And took each other's position. In fact, I realized that The sky did it every time. It shifted and changed And became new. I decided to keep looking, To be truthful…
