New post from Riya Jaiswal

Low-key

I feel lost in the

sea of possibilities,

seeing the wild

waves crawl upon me,

as I try to illuminate

my hollows into depth

of untouched sparks

waiting to ignite within.

I collect the sea shells-

“What does it even mean?”

I decode, encrypt & decode.

Is it love or hope?

I'll simply spring, crushing the

autumn leaves, trespassing

the road less trodden.

I make typos and then

lace them into muses;

thousand cuts and a 

teardrop on my ukulele,

that's what I'm composed of-

a million ill spelt

metaphors and ink.
