My Bleeding Soul

 

Halt thy ascent on the granite sky

Stem thy hand shooing the sun

Let the crimson of my wounds

Bleed more on the far horizon

Let it seep on into the sunset

For my heart keens.

 

In the darkness of the eventide

Leave me be, let me be alone

Under the gazillions of stars

They twinkle, craving to touch

My wounded self that rests,

For my soul hurts.

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.
