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... "

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...

Shaded Corridors

When I touch the cemented corridors,
I feel the dust of time crumble beneath
The tips of my fingers - As I step aside
To breath the next wisp of scarce air,
I realize how time has trotted by,
Stranded me on an empty isle of hope...
Somewhere between sincere cognition
And grey fading memories, I lie -
Looking upward at the winter sky,
Snow crystals and stars falling at me,
Whispering little words that I don't
Really understand or perhaps that I
Don't want to. Not anymore since long.
