Three Summers

On a briskly breezy evening;I met you the very same day,Three summers back.You are, my frightening nightmare.You still is, my most comforting dream.

Dwindling

When I looked through the window, I saw you. I saw you, wrecked. I gazed through your cracks. I saw you, damaged. The sublime rays falling on your body, made your dwindling evident. And then in retrospect, I saw myself. Yes, you reflected me; my soul. Yet, we both; Here, standing tall; Sturdy. The melancholy…

Where will I meet you?

There is a voice,Constant in my mind;And it’s the same question that it unwinds.Where will I meet you?Where will we be?Do you still, have that love for me? I go places,I see the humanity;But my heart revolves,Around a single identity. There may be no tomorrow,There may be no us;There may be no loving heart,To create…

Mera Sapna

Woh mulakat aaj bhi ek sapne jaisa lagta hain. Us shaam woh dabe paon, Chupke se mere kinare aake baitha. Uski muskurahat ne mere sapne ko hakikat ka jama pehna diya tha, Ek untarashe chehre ko tarashke meri aankhon ke samne bitha diya. Woh mulaqat aaj bhi ek sapne jaisa lagta hain. Meri aakhe ek…

Confluence

Everything was dark around,the planks beneath and so were the feet; cold. The pound under the chest was vigorous,and the mind was dealing with its own hurricane.All he could hear was his deep exhale,a few murmurs behind those thick curtains,which seemed to increase with every subsequent breath. He tiptoed to the centreas if he was…

Homecoming

Since my existence, I have known that we celebrate Durga Puja as Maa’s homecoming. Everyone around seems excited, and the preparation starts way ahead of time. What to wear, what Pandals to hop, or where to eat are a few major topics of discussion. But in the whole affair, we forget a major essence of…

Tell me that some things last

“Let yourself be silently drawn by the strange pull of what you really love. It will not lead you astray.” – Rumi The best part about being in-love; is when you are in love & simply in love, and you are happy about it. Even if you know that the person can never be yours, or if…

Silhouette

Hey Sunshine,When I stand facing you,What follows, is a shadow. Something that mimics me,Something that mocks,Something that echoes my inner darkened blocks. A dark shadow,A dark reflection of my very own,Yet seamless,Clung to me. What it doesn’t reflect is my shattered soul,My wrecked heart,And the fractured mind. If you look carefully to realize,It’s only you…

Moments

On the lonely roads, I wait for you, So that no one can see us together. No questions No complaints, Just cross paths so I can see you and live that moment forever.

Covet

The earth broke apart,All the trails disappeared.The heart broke into endless pieces.How does one convalesce the broken heart?Unfortunate me, the happiness had always remained beyond my reach,But with my pyre, I light the lantern of your happiness.May you be blessed with it wherever you may go,I pray fervently that you thrive and attain your covets.My…
