My poems are mostly reflections of the world around me...The most ordinary and routine things help inspire me to write a poem...I'm 20 and I enjoy reading, writing, painting , singing and a host of other things...
Please feel free to comment on any of my poems- criticism is appreciated, and sycophancy is really really not...

Thanks!

These are some of my all-time favourite lines/quotes...

'To see the world in a grain of sand,
And heaven in a wildflower,
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand,
And eternity in an hour.'
- William Blake, Auguries of Innocence


'The moon, like a flower
In heaven's high bower,
With silent delight
Sits and smiles on the night.'



'This life's dim windows of the soul
Distorts the heavens from pole to pole
And leads you to believe a lie
When you see with, not through, the eye.'


'Never seek to tell thy love,
Love that never told can be;
For the gentle wind does move
Silently, invisibly.'


'There is a smile of love,
And there is a smile of deceit,
And there is a smile of smiles
In which these two smiles meet.'


'Every Night and every Morn
Some to Misery are born.
Every Morn and every Night
Some are born to Sweet Delight,
Some are born to Endless Night.'


'Sleep, sleep, beauty bright,
Dreaming in the joys of night;
Sleep, sleep; in thy sleep
Little sorrows sit and weep'


'You throw the sand against the wind
And the wind blows it back again.'



'And because I am happy and dance and sing,
They think they have done me no injury.'

- William Blake



All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.
From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blad that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king.

- The Lord of the Rings...


All you who sleep tonight
Far from the ones you love,
No hand to left or right,
And emptiness above-
Know that you are not alone.
The whole world shares your tears,
Some for one or two nights,
And some for all their years.

- Vikram Seth- 'All You Who Sleep Tonight'...
