It’s 4:00 am, yet to dawn Gazing past the window  Thoughts wild and desolate  My anxiety has spawn The fear is real  Deep inside my mind Within feelings surreal Where I’m drowned Listening to the silence Hours have passed  Slowly I’m withering  Longing to belong My demons are still quiet But they won’t let me sleep With dried tears on my pillow Still I silently weep Nobody knows Except the moon  In the midnight sky Who gently tries to croon I sit upright in my solitude Staring at him  Between the skies darkly blued He showed me comfort  conversing with spree Gleaming in the dusk Behind a palm tree  He stayed till the very last Despite thousand miles away from me I wonder now if the moon Comes up every night So the Stars don’t feel alone  In that pretty sight - Audrey.C

On a bright summery morning When skies wore a crystal blue Awaiting with eagerness yet Struggling to conceal the outspoken cue Between the noises of the world, And how the warm air felt An awkward handshake  A startling conversation spelt Hiding the immediate rush Both the hearts helt! Crossing the lane down With an old lady in distress My eyes fixed on, this kind sight of noblesse. Claiming your flaws Manifesting those scars imperfect But, I perceived the fire  Absolutely irrevocably perfect! I was obsessed and possessed  Inside and out My heart was conquered  Without a single doubt Knowing now there wasn’t  Any escape out! I’ve held these moments  Deep within my head They etched beautifully  A whole universe widesp read. - Audrey. C

I get this feeling When you’re with me I’ve never been the same Darling, can’t you see The way you touch me Baby it’s all so different Though I cannot explain Why these feelings are so frequent That smile on your face It makes me so weak And oh all these butterflies How do they pop up so quick? Baby, do you even realise The zeal in me, you revive You’ve became a drug I need to survive! -Audrey. C

No one did ever notice  The concealed agony that is Behind those worn smiles Emotions massively compiled The world drained of her everything of all Yet with the heavy crown  She was walking tall She still reckons the wish On a far away star To be wholly healed  Of the irretrievable scars Alone facing her fears Wiping away the tears Contending by her own The battle unknown  This struggle with the demons To make her hopeless and broken Became the only reason  She outgrew like an ocean Fighting fiercely  The void darker and vast Discarding the spell  All the wrongs had cast With nothing ever   Can she be confined and controlled  Because the will to overcome  Resides in her stubborn soul  -Audrey.

Many times did I discern amidst the tangle of feelings the resonation from the ruptures which kept my heart evolving This acquiring sagacity through the journey I rove The genesis of which was the idea of love. I've never been so broken I've never been so whole embracing and encountering feelings my heart lost it's power and control. In it's own emptiness vast joy it finds. in giving inexplicably, this stubborn heart of mine. To pledge and forfeit every bit of my own in every possible way, with sacrifices unknown. To give infinitely,  expecting nothing in return. reminiscing these deeds knowing they would bid adeiu and turn Even in this emotion of dark A pentrated ray will ignite the spark Someday, someone to love inspite of all This idea of love enthralls. - Audrey.

Amidst of chaos, living in this world. A bewildered soul lost on its own. Diving and scuffling for tiny moments. To return faded smiles, wiped and gone. The thoughts running in and around. Answers to which were never found. A passing thought that hovers again. Is it worth or all over in vain? Everything that has ever lived. Lived for love and nothing else. The truth is uncomplicatedly simple. Yet wrapped in perplexed suspense! Darling, listen to the whisper, Your caged heart mumbles. Everything is temporary but love. Love outlives us all in a shove! - Audrey. C

Two years ago when I started in this college. Unsure and doubting the journey I had to acknowledge. It began on the very first day when we had our conversation. She walked in to give her piece of mind which needed a lot of concentration. Apart from the formal assemblies and events, I did not really have an actual interaction. I knew, though she did not talk much, she led the most intelligent discussions. She spoke in her own style and with an aura incomparable. The reason why I admired her was not so simply explainable. She is indeed a beautiful soul with the humblest heart. Always inspiring to dare with her utmost patience and care. To shine amongst many and genuinely be rare. She urges to take the road less travelled. Like Robert Frost she envisions it can make a difference. Yet not letting us overlook the power of prayers. As she believes success and almighty go in coherence. Within a short span, the initial year came to an end. The second year awaited with sur...
