A mute poet, Khalil, from Afghanistan and his wife, Maya from India are separated because they are from two different religions. The Indian government thinks Maya has brainwashed by him and that Khalil forms a part of an extensive terrorist group. As the poet is tried and sentenced to imprisonment, and his wife waits, they exchange food and poems. 

Poet::The flame of my words may singe the boundaries 
Guarding your heart, cowering in a corner
And all that will remain will be the laugh of the forgotten ash
Maya::The ash you talk of will be the pepper
To the cuisines that will overwhelm your tongue.

Trapped in my own head

She is an outcast. She finds it easier to express what she feels in the form of writing. Whether it is poems, letters or long texts. These are poems that she writes trying to describe how it feels to live with certain mental health issues, in a world that disregards outcasts. So, these are on the darker side of the spectrum. Some poems might be distressing for some readers. I personally enjoy consuming dark content, it's kinda like a coping mechanism. I really hope none of you relate with any of these :) I'll be posting only poems here, I'll try to be as active as I can. The poems are not in any order. They are just the thoughts that pop up any time of the day. (8.11.2023) PS: Please check out 'safe space'. I need your help to make it a real safe space, readers!
