About the Poet:
Arushi Singh is studying literature at Mount Carmel College, Bangalore. She is from Delhi and had been experimenting in freestyle poetry for years. A classical and ancient history enthusiast, her poetry is influenced by the poets like Tennyson, Browning, Ginsberg, Milton and others. She has developed a writing style of her own (taking things from others and making an amalgam of that).
DEVIL
And the sound
Of that devilish grin
Just slipped through
This paper thin skin
So scream my darling
come drown the demons within
Midnight blues
Would you forgive me
If I returned
With marks on my arms
And a
Stranger’s
breath in my
nightmares?
CAGES
And so
They watched as we locked
Our hearts in cages
And set our lungs on fire
So dance naked on the street
Watch the cry
Try to drown your light
