Things I want to feel again

1. Breathlessness after a good workout
2. The soreness of my eyes after a night spent reading, unaware of the clock 
3. The joy of tasting what I have cooked and it turning to be absolutely the way I had wanted it to be
4. The audacity to go anywhere without carrying any medication
5. The smell of parijat flowers blooming in my backyard
6. The glow in my eyes after writing my heart out
7. The wind on my face staring at the horizon,sitting in my balcony, tea in my hands, made just the way I like it
8. The jitters in my body on your touch, the flutter of my heart every time I saw you smile, the softness of my hands in yours and the warmth of the browns of your eyes on my skin
9. Listening to my favourite songs and feeling the rhythm inside me
10. Hope

Doused Fire

Flow of darkness

Like ashes in my veins

Black is what I see

Death of something 
I foresee

Doused fire within

Now lies in its icy state

There was a wait

For

A hand to hold

Someone to hear

Silent cries

Of this soul

And I realize

Only me

Has the power to pull myself

Out of any abyss
