Poem - #21 | Lovers and Society

Faded Lovers

We were fading lovers
Sailing through the ocean of time,
Drowned by our melancholic hearts
We are not fine this time.
We fought for us but against each other,
We knew that we were bound to drown

And we did nothing to make it better.

Separated in the ocean of time,

We are indeed faded lovers

But know that time will heal us just fine

Even though it might leave a scar behind.

- Sneha Chhetri

Dear Society

We have been planning our escape
From the four walls of society
We all want to go to one place
Where we can exist with our reality,
You say we carry no dreams in our mind,
When we carry a universe crafted solely out of them,
You say our mind is not mature enough.
When our thinking starts from the horizon,
Of the end of yours,
And you tell us we do not dream enough
Oh! Dear Society
How dare we even tell you about our dreams
When you think they are nothing
And you try to clip our wings
How dare we even try to breathe a word
About our universe
When you do not even see a thing
Oh! Dear society
And you tell us
We do not live in a reality.
~ Sneha Chettri

Too good to be true

Your feathery touch,

Still lingering on my skin

My body still tingling,

Everytime when I think

Of those stolen kisses

And those dreams,

It was so good

That it felt

Too good to be true

I wanted us to be forever

And not just a phase

But you were a wave

That did not come to stay,

You were a breeze

That touched and went away,

The sand that

I had grasped in my hands for awhile

But had soon slipped away.

- Sneha Chhetri

Voices are suppressed

Wings are clipped

Fight or flight

She does not get to choose

For neither of it is in for sight,

Caged inside the four walls of opinions

She is not even allowed to have

A thought of her own

Let alone voice them

Out in an open form

But how long is it going to be this way,

Does she not deserve life

Outside those walls?

Does she not deserve freedom

Of being herself?

Is she not a living being like all the others,

So why only her wishes

Are the ones being unheard?

So why only her chances

Are the ones being snatched?

-Sneha Chhetri.

Her Hurricane

She had a hurricane inside her

That no one could tame,

No one ever saw past her hurricane

But the ones who did

Couldn't help

But helplessly fall for her.

She had a spark inside her

That no one could lit

And no one ever tried to light

But the once who tried

Had her ignited in the first try.

That's how she was

The ones who tried to see past her

Had her friendship

And, the ones who didn't tried

Wished that they had.

Thought - #1 |Who is God?

Who is God? Who in this diverse world of ours hasn't heard about Him, a greater power above us all, a Being known to many by an infinite names. A Creator in some religions, a Destroyer in others, an entity in some and a force, energy in others. The very notion of God comes the the everlasting but yet the most preliminary and fundamental question that our human mind has been able to conceive. Who made us? And thus the paradoxical answer follows; someone, God. Why paradoxical? Because if we exist then it follows that their must be a creator else nothing makes sense. Our very existence proves the existence of the One. Although this mind boggling topic, also one of the most controversial ones to be accurate, has been there since we achieved self-awareness the truth is that it may never be answered. Yet is that all? Do we only see God as our creator or is there something more to it, a latent truth buried deep within our minds. It is a fact that it is our very human ...

Poem - #13 | Utopian Dystopia | On Poverty and Racism

On Poverty and Racism They say it ain't good When you show your cunning self But when you have to beg for food Being honest is of little help. Sit in the heat, sit in the rain; Is it the best way, you use your brain. But you know what? The rich don't care, About the miseries the poor share. Oh! Please don't spit there Thats where I sleep dear: And don't you piss there My food is in there! Yeah you heard it right But you still will fight, With the people and the government, Everytime they have us money, lent. For the rich get richer, And the poor - poorer: Very few things in this world Are more truer, Than this clichéd phrase. You see, we live in such a country When dogs are prayed but men slayed, On the basis of their so-called caste How long do you think can such a rule last? And the black men, kicked out and murdered Just because God had them coloured. And yet they say we live in an uto...
