Dr. Deepak Dev

once imagination is brave enough
to step outside the page.

REHEARSAL
— where invention rehearses reality

A #fantasy is not escape so much as rehearsal—
a speculative architecture erected by hunger,
where impossible lives audition for tomorrow.
We fabricate not to flee the world,
but to interrogate it,
testing which selves might endure

DESERVE
— slowly

I #earn the sunrise,
by keeping promises small—
day nods back at me.

THE DISCIPLINE OF BETTER
— on never being finished

We learned to upgrade ourselves
before asking who wrote the scale.

What if the bravest act
is refusing the next version?

THE TENANT WHO NEVER LEFT
— occupancy after departure

A #ghost is not an apparition;
it is an annotation—
marginalia written into walls,
a pressure of former verbs
inside present rooms.
It corrects our sentences,
rearranges light,
and teaches the living
how endurance impersonates absence.

THE ONE WHO TURNED
— a study in distance that looks like retreat

Not every departure is escape.
Some are revisions.
Some are weather learning a new grammar.

THE KEY OF CONVERSATION
— how meaning announces itself

Every truth arrives in a #tone before it risks a sentence—
mercury or mercy,
verdict or invitation.
Voices teach us what words dare not:
whether we are being welcomed, warned,
or slowly rewritten
into agreement.

MEET
— without armor

I #face the mirror,
let yesterday loosen grip—
today looks gentler.

#haikufeels #haiku

THE CURRENCY OF ENDURANCE
— what survives the wound

We do not collect #pain for drama.
We convert it—
into patience,
into vocabulary for the unspeakable,
into the strange algebra by which
a broken afternoon
becomes a livable tomorrow.

OUTSOURCED CONSCIENCE
— on letting structures speak for us

When workflows inherit judgement
and buttons replace pause.

A poem about abdication, systems,
and remembering how to choose.

FROSTLIGHT
—winter in soft ember

#glittering stream bends
pink dawn warms the frozen reeds
snow breathes like soft stars

STILL
— breath held

I #pause mid-storm,
let the noise finish itself—
calm clocks me again.

PHOSPHOR AFTERLIFE
— what illumination refuses to relinquish

A meditation on #neonresidue as aftermath: glare migrating inward, sweetness soldered to voltage, colour surviving abrasion.

maps redrawn in margins,
futures negotiated
before anyone admits
the room has tilted.

THE PUBLIC SECRET
— how reputations quietly pivot

An #affair can belong to empires as easily as to hearts—
a covert bargain,
a handshake conducted in shadow,
a headline rehearsed before dawn.
What changes first is not law,
but trajectory:

CARTILAGE CONSTELLATIONS
— a maternal cosmology of aftermath

For my mother… where grief acquires syntax, absence glows, and the body learns to carry galaxies instead of ghosts.

PUBLIC SELF
— on introspection in the age of spectators

What keeps changing us
when applause disappears?

A poem about performance, privacy,
and the courage of staying "unpublished".

THE WEIGHTLESS CORE
— where endurance keeps its address

The #soul is not spectacle.
It is the quiet engineer of survival—
balancing memory against tomorrow,
repairing fractures with breath,
and teaching the body
how to keep walking
after certainty has resigned.

someone is always leaning
toward the same frequency.

THE STATIC BETWEEN WORLDS
— where distance learns to speak

At night the #radio becomes a theologian—
translating storms into syllables,
turning solitude into signal.
Voices arrive freighted with weather and want,
proof that even across impossible miles

GUIDE
— quiet wins

I #coach my doubts down,
teach courage to take first steps—
fear runs drills too.

THE DOUBLE THAT STAYS
— solitude after departure

When others leave with laughter and light,
I inherit the #shadow—
not absence, but its articulate residue,
a silhouette fluent in waiting.
It keeps my outline company,
rehearses my name in the dark,
and dreams the room back into morning.

THE MARKETPLACE OF SERENITY
— on wellness sold by the scroll

Incense, crystals, candles… and a subscription button.
A quiet satire on sponsored calm, curated transcendence and the monetisation of peace.

SHIFT
— daily grind

I #work the daylight,
coffee works me right back too—
fair trade, somehow.

#haikufeels #haiku

and soon the edifice discovers
its foundations have been thinking differently
for years.

THE ARCHITECTURE OF UPHEAVAL
— how systems finally tilt

True #overthrow is rarely theatrical.
It begins in footnotes, in clauses revised,
in patience weaponised into inevitability.
One idea migrates, another refuses to kneel,
