Letter in a bottle

A missive to you my love, from a shore far

Let it travel on the water, under the lit star

Ah! Be still my mourning heart, shush! Heal

Even though time and fate did our love seal.

 

I pine evermore for you, in the long eventide

I often seek, wanting to hold you by my side

Alas! T’was not to be and I am now left alone

My tears, my heart, all is now carved in stone

About Sonal Singh

An author, storyteller, and full-time observer of life’s glorious absurdities. I write humour-laced stories where chaos wears fluffy fur, emotions arrive uninvited, and middle-class Indian households become ecosystems of drama, love, and unsolicited advice. Armed with sarcasm, caffeine, and alarming emotional attachment to stray creatures, I believe compassion is less of a virtue and more of a lifestyle disorder. One that I embrace. When I’m not writing, I’m usually busy running a full-time HR consultancy business, rescuing animals, or trying to maintain dignity while being emotionally manipulated by my pets. Through my literary work, I try to blend humour with heart, celebrating the messy coexistence of humans and non-humans in modern urban India.
