The heart and mind is empty,As empty as this space.Just like a designer,Even I reconstruct my memories.Like three years ago, the very same day,We raised a toast, for the very first time,With the crystals filled with Jim beam.The ambience smelled Italian,And we were served vegetarian.The music was classic that got the conversation to flow,And I…

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…
One Summer Noon
On a hot summer afternoon,on a secluded road;I stopped him for a ride.Like anyone else,Even his demand was obnoxious. But today, looking at him,I couldn’t bargain much.As if I really wanted to take that ride,not because of the weather;but maybe not to lose sight of him,even if it was for that span. I sat right…
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…
And miles to go before I sleep
The woods are lovely, dark, and deep,But I have promises to keep,And miles to go before I sleep,And miles to go before I sleep.– Robert Frost This year, I walked for Maya. Maya faded fast in May 2017 when he called from work and declared his decision to commit suicide. I tried my level best…
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…
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…
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…
