Chandni M
My heart, you are mine to have
I am yours to hold
We’ve sculpted promises with our hands
With whispers of love and faith in the middle of night
breathing life
This sacred thread tying my fate to yours
The only symbol of meaning in an aimless world
Everything else is just a blur
Everything else is noise
All that matters is that we’re at home
Comforted in each other’s arms
Bidding goodbye to every unbidden irreverance
I am your armour and you, my knight
Ranjini Sankar
Tomorrow,
you will wake up
with the same disturbing thoughts
but you will choose
the intentional steps to the washroom,
admire the magical sun rays
filtering through the window,
inhale the aroma
of your morning coffee,
listen to the birds,
feel the grass beneath your feet,
be more gentle
Tomorrow,
you will love yourself
a little more.
