Lakshmi Menon

Writer is a word I detest, by popular definition. I write, that's all. And dare to offend many who don't think like I do...

Lakshmi Menon

White If I had survived wars, pestilence and poverty.
Risen from the ashes of trajedy like the proverbial Phoenix,
And had a story to tell.
My own tale
Then just maybe,
You would have not judged me harshly.
To you,I was yet another entitled brat.
The arrogant one, 
Ruthless and remorseless,
I did have a story, just a little different from yours,
Maybe if I were a harlot who had mastered the art of seduction,
Or a witch who cast spells on men,
I would have been the first in your affections.
Little did I know,
That the world did not value dignity and loyalty,
As much they upheld deceit and infamy.

I no longer speak volumes like I used to.
Not because I have nothing to say,
Not because I dont like to speak,
Because I no longer understand the language.
It means nothing. 
Thats when I stumbled upon 'silence'.
Silence, a language I never thought much about.
Even a sigh has different meanings.
I am learning a new language,
The language of silence.

Lakshmi Menon

White I dont think we must obsess over wanting to know people,
Thats for those who wasted their time, never knowing themselves.
For what is left in this short life,
Better we cease to know,
And start to live.
The reality, as how it is
Than what it should be...

Lakshmi Menon

What drew me towards you,
 Was that you were so real.
Blunt as a knife!
Took me a while to understand, 
You were the myth,
That real deal, 
The home vibe,
All that was the illusion.
Now, what is afterall a myth and what is a fact, the reality...
Who is to say?

Lakshmi Menon

As I lay,
Resting my head on your bare chest.
Running my fingers through and toying with your chest hair,
Little did I know,
That was possibly, the last night of my joy.
The voices in my head had drowned.
I had found my peace, or so I thought.
The quiet night sky,
Had begun to pour acid rain.
That burned my skin,
And scarred my soul.
My silent warrior!
Had stuck a dagger into my heart,
A dagger that bore the poison
Called truth...

Lakshmi Menon

I fell for a scoundrel,
A pure caveman, crude and primeval.
He hunted, he ate, he wandered and he slept.
A savage boy, nothing human.
But when I came before him,
There was a glimmer of something humane.
He did not rip me apart and devour.
Instead, coldly walked away.
Perhaps I wasn't his natural prey.
Was he the caveman or a gentleman indeed,
Who can say? 
Never seen him ever since,
Possibly,he went back to his caves...
But why would I fall for him, this beast?
For I saw, in a flicker of a moment, 
A prince in disguise...

Lakshmi Menon

To love everyone is easy,
To be loved by everyone,
Thats the hardest part.
Yet, we all love that one person,
A little more than others.
A cold heart does thaw,
The high walls do break,
The sun does rise again...

Lakshmi Menon

I have been waiting since long, 
For something unexpected to happen, 
A rude shock, a sweet suprise,
Its strange,  waiting makes you dettached,
Rude shocks dont devastate us,
Sweet suprises don't taste too sweet for us,
Anymore...

Lakshmi Menon

And the horseman rode through the desert,
Through far-reaching seas of golden sand,
He was alone in this world,
He heard nothing,
Howling of desert winds drowned every sound.
That of his own breath.
He had given up everything,
Even the woman he loved.
Because he wanted to be free,
From everything,  even his own identity.

A comma,
A full stop.
And a story somewhere in between.
