A strange place

My mom taught me forgiveness: smile more, smile heals hurting hearts. Push yourself more to forget. Then some more. Don’t think the unthinkables. Include everyone, even the ones who exclude your part. Give them what they want. Say yes often. Continue reading “A strange place” →

Not just in words

Love in other words

I guess I have seen love
not just in words,
not just in black fonts
of sleepless poetry. Continue reading “Not just in words” →

The image of the summer

August 12, 2015August 12, 2015 Archita10 Comments

The image of a summer afternoon

Sometimes the wave inside my head
looks like a silent word, or like 
a clean afternoon of California summer.
On those days I do art. I paint a haunted house,
gather all the wordlessness inside it,
and put a lock on the canvas. Continue reading “The image of the summer” →

This is why we are here

I put my head right in front of the blue light of the desktop screen,
my eyes set on various pages, one where the work is done, one where

the world makes friendship with perfect human beings, one where I secretly note
down grocery list and things that I have to finish before it’s too late. Continue reading “This is why we are here” →

New Bamboo Leaves

“GO OUT IN THE WOODS, GO OUT. IF YOU DON’T GO OUT IN THE WOODS NOTHING WILL EVER HAPPEN AND YOUR LIFE WILL NEVER BEGIN.” ~ Clarissa Pinkola Estés

There’s always someone to stop you,

even when you’re running for life,

even when you’re preparing to

wrap your bubble. Continue reading “Beginning” →

The opposite of loneliness

March 26, 2015March 26, 2015 Archita

spring bloom

We are always seeking each other.
Always.

At coffee shop,
On the open pages of websites,
After each weird ringtone of
a new text on the phone,
inside closed room,
outside in a very floral
printed world.

Searching is hard. Finding harder.

Once more, with feelings

spring

The heart tells you funny stories,
and sometimes it makes
a potent noise
that sounds like loneliness
or like a greedy ache. Continue reading “Once more, with feelings” →

Better Dialogues

February 17, 2015February 18, 2015 Archita8 Comments

no u turn

We all are here to share some stories,

Stories that make life

And break inner demons.

There are tea cups, and flavored

Tea leaves pretending to offer contentment.

Someone claims, Contentment is ubiquitous.

A storm threats from the dusky cloud,

I wonder if the sky feels content

When it rains alone before dry souls. Continue reading “Better Dialogues” →
