Screened Innocence

Poetry, Illustrations, Photography and more... "We all start off with a handful of innocence and nothing else and in time a veil is pulled over it... it gets hidden and screened away from the world and we become a shadow of the darkness all around... "

About Me

Name: Anubhav Kushwaha
Location: Hyderabad, Andhra Pradesh, India

I started writing with poetry around 1996-97. I have been writing since then - poetry, stories, articles etc. I lost most of my initial works as I never cared to write it down in one place. Then later after friends started nudging me to take my writing more seriously, I started writing down in a diary and finally started blogging in around 2003. I deleted my first blog "Across the wall" for certain reasons in 2006 and then started again with "Screened Innocence". I am inspired by human emotions. Be it courage, fear, love, lust, greed, desire, loneliness or anything else and that is what makes me write most of my works. I am currently working on a novella called "My rough way" and am also actively looking for a literary representative as well as a publisher. My current employment in the software industry does not leave much time for writing but then it being my first love, writing does find time in my life some way or the other...

I wait

Sometimes when I don't feel my hands in the dark,
When I can't hear my whispers or my footsteps...
For I haven't spoken all these years nor moved...
I get scared of the thought of my own voices...
As they get louder in my head, the silence around
Gets deeper, as if it would be only embrace for me.
The darkness within engulfing any hope of light -
I am not taken by surprise for it comes slow...
With moments replete with reflections and thoughts...
Realizations, acceptance. I surrender to myself
I cannot see my feet any more, they lie there
Never daring to move. I cannot feel my hands...
I just wait for the moment when I won't feel myself.

-Anubhav
