holding all her raindrops
in the darkest of clouds,
and her goosebumps
feeling like a shape poem
with a gentle apricity
in her pheromones,
turning a hush night
into an artistic dawn
in a flash so intense!

Not A Usual Wednesday Morning!

There was no rush to get to office
Still woke up a little early
With a cup of hot coffee in hand,
I sat at the balcony near the plants!

Looked at the sky and didn’t find the Sun
But spotted the birds heading somewhere
Mist all over the city spread like thin cotton balls
Rays of the day strikes on the walls & trees!

I continued to sip on my coffee
Had a short conversation,
With the pond fishes & potted plants
Admired a cute miniature, kept under a bonsai tree!

Some pigeons visited my place in search of water,
But they left seeing me watching them
And I moved into my hallway to plan this day,
As the rest of my usual routine was still waiting to get sorted!

-

Like a soul flower
I come looking for you
every season, as it unfolds
only to go back in denial
from the very known fact that,
‘You are not here anymore’!

-

why I wasn’t available,
when you needed me the most!
But I guess you will understand
that I had some unfinished questions
within me that kept me occupied
in a way that, I was put to sleep at day
and made to feel lonely at night
staring at the window all the time
awaiting your arrival for good!

May be, this is the way
I wanted to apologise to you!

People come & go
Just like the flowers do;

Welcome the buds,
Spread its petals,
Sway in the air for a while
Fades colour as it ages,
And wither in pieces,
Irrespective of the seasons,
Sometimes even without
Little water and sunshine!

But the memories
They leave with us,
Stays like the preserved flowers,
Kept secret in between the pages of books,
Only dried outside yet never wilting
But very precious and everlasting!

-

We change; we fall;
but not by choice, by moods!

-

I choose, not wanting to choose
but failed in the goodness of faith,
I travel that unclear path of pain & fear
following my broken heart to witness more
hopelessness, betrayal & exhaustion in it’s way!

-

those unknown destinations
only seen through dreams
that are like abstract arts,
too vague and more illusionary
for someone to believe it a reality!

A travel worth experiencing
and sometimes feels like a nightmare..

-

walk far away
to pacify your soul
and never turn back!

-

collecting some stardust
to be reborn like a miracle
or live like a night’s dream forever!
