व्याकुलता

एक अजब सी कशमकश है मेरे दिल में आज,एक नई शुरुआत कि की है आगाज़। दिमाग कहे ज़्यादा ना सोच,पर दिल है बेचैन देख मौसम का शोर। वैसे तो बारिश हैं शुभ संदेश लाती,पर व्याकुल मन को है चिंता सताती। चाहु वो जो हो सबके लिए अच्छा,पर डरता है मन और उसमें बसा बच्चा। बस…

रंगो भरी ज़िन्दगी

इस आसमा सी हैं ये ज़िन्दगी। हर उगते और डूबते सूरज के साथ,ये भी अपना रंग बदलती हैं। उस अंधेरे आसमान का कद्रदान शायद ही कोई हो,पर उस अंधेरे में समाते सूरज को सब एक बार निहारते ज़रूर हैं। गर गौर से देखो,तो काफी बेरंग हैं ये रंगो भरी ज़िन्दगी। – अंकुर मंडल  

May the history repeat itself

As I entered the airport last night,I was upset and missed you. Not because you weren’t there,But the fear that you may never be there. It did and will always remind me of the unfulfilled promises we made,And the untraveled destinations. They say that if you have to know your partner well, travel with him;I…

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…

Scared

I am scared. I am scared of myself. Of my mind. Of who can see the mind I have. I am scared. I am scared. I am scared to hear. Scared to think. Scared to be. I am scared of me. I am scared. I am scared of who is in my head. I am…

I can’t, and I don’t want to

It seems like yesterday, when we met on a random summer evening,The arena was full of innocent souls and was operatic,And the dark night illuminated with a glitter of your eyes.For the sake of my lustre,I don’t want to let you go, my sunshine. The place was new but the people were known,Where the song…

It was pouring today

With the sound of it,I felt like calling and telling you,Here goes another rainy day without you.Today, will you come and stand next to me and complete my monsoon?Hey, it’s pouring today. Walking on the terrace, contemplating,Didn’t know what to do.All I wanted was to hold you tight and inundate with you,Hold my hands, walk…

Witful

I was flowing in the wild, like the marram grass. Dry and gusty, and was so jaunty. You sneaked into my life, hiding in the mist. Quenching my eternal thirst, with your dripping tears. I bestowed myself with your dews of love, wilful that I will be clammy forever.
