These are some of my poems, new poems will be uploaded every once in a while :) Am I a poet? No. But do I write poems? Yes-and I love it. (doesn't mean I'm very good at it :P) Sometimes I write when a beautiful line strikes my mind, and sometimes when emotions take over the logical brain. In the bigger picture, I don’t write because I already create something amazing. I write because, if I keep writing, one day I surely will. For if you keep waiting to write the perfect poem, you may never get close. But if you keep writing, one of your poems just might feel perfect ✨ the name by the way, ocarminamea = oh carmina mea, which means oh my poems in latin, a simple word play hehe...

Flowers of Glass

Flowers of Glass



So I sowed my shining glass marbles,

Hoping they’d grow into flowers of glass,

Each petal holding a reflection

Of the memories of our past.


They grew faster than rose or lily or marigold.

I shifted them to beds, for they grew bigger

Than the little flowerpot could hold.

Every morning I carried my watering can,

Pouring silver droplets on delicate leaves,

Dreaming they’d grow buds and bloom

Flowers no man has ever seen.


Even though, somewhere deep, I knew

Glass cannot grow.

Still, the light on the glass was enough

For me to go on and,

To keep my heart at my cuff.


You may think I was too blind to see,

But it was quite my choice.

For the world looks much more beautiful

When your eyes are closed. You’re free

To live in the world you’ve made in your mind.


And sometimes,

A single bloom in your heart

Feels better

Than an empty field.


~AS, 2025



backstory:

Sometimes you may like to stay for a but in your mind, your imagination, your own dreams, for that place is too sweet in contrast to this cruel world, that is exactly how I was feeling when I wrote this poem. Escapism being the central idea and the thought going on my mind, I composed this - The Flowers of Glass

अपर्याप्त

  उन्हें चाहने लगे हैं , वो मन को भाने लगे हैं | पता चला है मन को , कि मन में उनका रहना काफ़ी   नहीं   है | कुछ करने से पहले सोचना , क्या उनको पसंद आता , सिर्फ़ ये सोचना भी , काफ़ी नहीं है | और कुछ बनाने के बाद ये सवाल , क्या ये उन्हें दिखा पाते  भी, काफ़ी नहीं है | अब जाकर ये समझ आया , कि मन - ही - मन उनसे बातें करना , अब और ज़रा भी , काफ़ी नहीं है | सो आज मन ने पूछा है , क्या वो भी करते हैं , ऐसे मन - ही - मन बातें , जैसे हम किया करते हैं | सो आज हमारा मन , हो रहा प्रस्तुत , उनके मन के रूप में | और उनका मन कर रहा है , हमारे मन से बात | क्या माँगते हो तुम भी टूटते तारों से , दुआ में उठाते हो अपने हाथ | या कभी याद भी नहीं करते , दिनभर इधर - उधर के काम , और गहरी नींद पूरी रात | अजी , ये कहाँ फँस गए , कहाँ उलझ गया मन | इससे तो भले - चंगे थे , जब नहीं था इन पराये   विचारों का संग | जी...

Last Tea with Fear

-
Last Tea with Fear Two cups of water, Two cups of tea, I set the table, You set me free. After years of survival, I've finally mustered courage, Just enough to share the table, and pour the parting beverage. This is not a prayer! nor, if I dare say, a warning, consider this a request, for I can no longer survive, in your vicinage. Two ounces of courage, One of relief, This tea party is done, Now you need to leave. ~A Singh backstory: I don't have a specific backstory for this one, its a poem everyone can relate to, as we all have or had this one fear we at some point in our life decide to face, to those of you who did, congrats and to those who are still planning or are not sure.. more power to y'all and I hope you do it soon... And what about me you may ask, so I'm waiting for the right time, which is in fact coming closer...
