Amazes me, how we kept pouring love day after day, for years counting, yet still go speechless to the why, why we love, the way we love each. I dare him for reasons, just to watch him come up with the sweetest ones, certainly hatched right away, hoping the questions ends there. If not for…
Pain
How pathetically sad, the poet in me, yearns for and exists on pain, be it mine or else’s, inevitably pain, almost like blood and vampires. Inking the hurt in metaphors, hiding in between the lines, gently sipping the sorrows away, you’d miss it in a beat.
Spark
It’s been so long, almost a decade still amazing, how my heart smiles every time your name appears; the spark is lit & ever so bright. Years bringing blissful happiness in doing life & growing with you, a sense of serenity, peace assured, beyond the excitement of love. Not the thousands of days count, but…
Year
Routines becoming my thing. Early morning travels to work, usual spotify playlist over bus radio, sharing a thought on threads and immersing into yet another novel. But today, it’s Christmas eve, wished to be out, in memories, so I write, the only way out I can. I can’t help but wonder, confound, a lot can…
Void
A void, feels hollow yet full of thoughts, no soul can relate, thus here, I write. Oh, the things I put on me, karma for real, maybe I deserve to feel this pain.
Real
Woke up today in dismay, wondering, rather wishing it was a dream, yesterday. Replayed the moments, the heart-wrenching ones, it was real, to the core.
Stirred
Some people will leave you stirred like never before, makes you question, your whole life attitude. Maybe its not just about the timing anymore, but more about the connection, on every magnitude. Some questions will never have answers, the reasons you seek so hard, won’t be there. Maybe it’s not just about finding the answers,…
Unknown
How come you didn’t wonder this time around, You, out of all, the one with the highest walls bound, How come you didn’t hesitate the unknown, No reasons figured out, yet never been this torn.
Antidote
My heart feels heavy today, bearing down a load, yet I can neither fathom the depths nor reason. Another emotional wave and this too will pass, becoming numb to the pain, be the only antidote. My silence screams tonight, I’m almost breathless, so I scribble some words, my only escape.
Painfully
She slipped her hand in his, leaned on his shoulder, she felt it, the flinch, he always failed to hide it well. He felt her yearning to be held by him with no guilt, her painstakingly warm heart, getting frozen, every time she reaches that ice-cold stony heart of his. He despises that aching past,…
Hide and Seek
Hide and seek, so excited to play finding the best places to hide, ‘cause getting found was dreaded, and the end of all the fun. A decade gone, I wonder sadly, how the tables have turned around. The irony, it’s no more a game, the perfect hide in plain sight. Was the skill of hiding…
A penny for your thoughts..
Through out the quarter century I’ve lived, I’ve met hundreds of people, who at one point of my life were referred to as ‘friends’ and remained so for a certain period of time. And as years passed, we moved on to next stages of our lives, where we come across a new set of ‘friends’….
Magical
There’s a spark in your smile, with a magic of its own, that takes me to our little space, in milli-seconds. There’s a warmth in your touch, with a magic of its own, that heals the inevitable scars of survival. There’s a radiance in your soul, with a magic of its own, that pours peace…
Wildflowers
We be at the mercy of our erratic lives, praying that happiness will come around, so to earn the best of riches, we strive, only to realize, nothing is bound. We search high and low, near and far, for that defined pleasure we yearn, even silently wishing on shooting stars, but with miserable attempts, we…
Twenties
The phase, where life changes upside down, your unremarkable twenties of youth. Being clueless defines beyond half of it, yet, tricks you into the ‘figured my life’ ego. The wins and loss, joys and tears, love and pain sums up these thrilling golden years of life. Friends become the family away from home, the ones…
Other side
Every single dawn, for the last two years, I sit at my designated spot with same view, it felt weirdly calmer to finally have my own spot, no inteferences, no judgments, no questions. Recalling the first year, I’d still gasp for my breath, the solitude unbearable for the extrovert in me, the memories too heavy…
Decade
Ten years ago, a fourteen year old child, oh what did I know even about myself, with simplicity in life at its best, we played and cheered for the trivial fun. I wonder, if I had a chance would I tell her that; time changes everything and everyone, you’ll find yourself distant from places where…
Uncertainity
The skies weep, the world halts,for a moment freeze and let it sink. The uncertainity of this rollercoster ride,at times you can almost touch the sky,and next you are gripping with fear for life. Maybe it’s part of the plan; evolution,maybe it’s karma of past lives,yet we all suffer in our own ways. The air…
Outgrown
A restless mind, a hopeless heart, a monotonous soul, like many other dispirited lives that just flow, the only crests be the random emotional highs. Change, hit the very core of her deep rested soul, disrupting every belief and bond she ever had. Varied phases of failed therapy fueled the restless life, but somewhere along…
Days numbered
Somewhere between the cozy cuddles and the sleepless nights, they reached their limits, but letting go was harder than holding on. No more raised voices, instead effortless silences, with obvious frustration, yet closure still questionable. Striving to bear the unbearable, oh, the things we do for love. The days were numbered they knew, yet the…
Little Things
It’s always, always the little things that matter, the comfortable silences shared when your mind is full or empty, the consoling feeling you get just by hearing that voice, or the dreaded tight hug dissolving all the sorrows into thin air. Maybe it’s family, love or friendship; it all counts.
Worth it
She glowed brighter than ever, her eyes smiled, with immense inner peace, she prayed for longer days. Now, she looks beyond the doubts, ’cause she knows better, she knows, the doubts are killers; wise or not. Her soul been through spring and fall, rests contented, the struggles be worth the time and tears, ’cause she’s…
Therapy
Everytime, it felt like a gaze of hundreds on me, I felt small, every step I took, scared I might trip and fall, justifying to myself, this decision is right, but venting to a bunch of strangers be a real fight. The one common thing, they all sustain be the sleepless nights, silent tears, blinding…
Miracle
I stood away from the crowd of friends of friends, I felt the gaze of someone, just like me standing away. A young boy, with messy weird hair, his eyes met mine, and momentarily, it was all registered in my mind. Had I known, how precious those few minutes were, I would have remembered every…
Hour’s misery
Behind closed doors, a slave to a man’s desires, every night different animals, devouring their primal pleasures. For them, it’s only an hour’s charge of satisfaction, and leave all behind with suit and tie, to an awaiting wife. For her, those hours are years of depression, yet a long bath is all she has to…
Masked
We wear masks, concealing our trueselves from the world, but at the arms of the beloved, we let the masks fade; oh yes, the perfect imperfections, in love with flaws. Thus, the origin of a merged mask, with the perfect outlook of happiness. Admirable is the effort we take, sustaining the honeymoon mask, only failing…
Randomly
“And maybe one day we’ll bump into each other randomly, we’ll smile at each other, genuinely. The past will be past, and we’ll have grown and our perspectives on life will have change And maybe on that day as we look at each other, smiling, we’ll feel our souls smiling too. Because our souls always…
