Sonal's Poems

In this space, I write not to explain life, but to explore it. Pause with me, linger between the lines, and perhaps you’ll discover a piece of your own story here too. 🙂

  • Once again…!

    Last night, once again

    You came visiting in my dreams

    If only I had stretched my hand

    I could’ve had your feel!

    You were there, once again

    As vivid as always

    To get over it, and you

    It’s going to take me days! 

    I was wide awake in the dark

    Tears rolling down my face

    Mind told me it was just a dream

    Heart, still looking for your trace! 

    Whatever it was, that was said

    Still lingers in my mind

    But to listen to it all over again

    I want to sleep and press rewind! 

    Not knowing the real way ahead

    I just let a deep sigh escape

    Not looking forward to the might I’ll need

    To get back to a normal state! 

  • She…!

  • Probably, silence…!

    Last night when I dreamt of you

    As usual I wanted to tell you all

    In my heightened exuberance

    Of our silence I had no recall

    It hit me like a wave – 

    Ceased me, & totally knocked me out

    Was I never meaningful to you!

    Slithering in came all the recurring doubts

    How things changed, how we drifted 

    You said we were the best of pals

    I thought it was my safe heaven

    Then what happened has no rationale

    My heart is shattered you know

    Ego too stands in the way

    Want to run back to what we had

    But how to make my heart feel okay! 

    Wish it was easy to fight and ask 

    To say my words and hear you too

    Even when we didn’t agree – 

    How could you distance me from you! 

    Questions will remain and I will retreat

    For I don’t think I can make me say

    It’s better to dwell and continue to pose

    Than to exhibit me all sad and frail!

  • Road alone…!

    We are all lonely on this road – all alone

    Just walking the path that gets shown

    Treading carefully taking a step by step

    Nothing helps, how much ever one preps

    So just keep walking, but remember to pause

    When the going gets tough and you want to withdraw

    Take a moment to sit and relax

    Let the light creep in from those little cracks…
