कुछ दरवाजे जो काफी अरसे से बंद पड़े हों, तो देख लेना गर लग गई हो उनमें जंग, तो खोल देना आहिस्ते से अब उनको ... कुछ अटकेगा शायद कुछ पलों तक, पर तुम रुकना नहीं इस बार और खोल देना पूरी तरह उस दरवाजे को और बाहर निकल जाने देना अधूरे उदास से पुराने वो ख्वाब जो वक्त के साथ काफी धुंधले पड़ चुके हैं और महज़ यादों की हल्की सी बेजान जंजीर से जकड़े हुए हैं तुमको आज भी! जब जाएंगे दरवाजे से निकल के थोड़ी दूर, तो शायद बह निकले कुछ आंसू तुम्हारे नयनों से, पर तुम भावुक होकर इस दफा बहना नहीं! थाम लेना दिल में उठते उस तूफान को और आस रखना इस दिल में कि अगले किसी मौसम में मिल ही जाएगा तुमको तुम्हारे हिस्से का वसंत भी और सावन भी!

छवि (Solitary Hut)

Most great things come in number one...
The glorious Moon and the bright Sun!
Two souls in love getting tied as one...
Tree branches all around with seed just one!
All religions teach us that God is One!

-

The winner's pride...
A loner's stride...
Rank of a topper...
A showstopper...
Cherished by everyone...
The great number 'One'

Writing Sprint: Day 35
#adistancepoem

D-ear self
I-nto the mirror
S-ee for yourself
T-he beauty that shines from...
A-cross the other side
N-ever let it lose smile and...
C-harisma it mostly hides!
E-ver present, effervescent...
(combine the first alphabets above to close that distance between your soul and yourself)

Writing Sprint: Day 33
#talkingtreepoem

Strolling by the rain soaked sidewalk...
I think I heard someone talk...
I looked behind, sideways and then straight up...
But found only rain droplets falling lub-dub...
I took a step ahead, but my walk was stalled...
As I heard my name that the enchanting tree had called...
Curious as I was, I took a step ahead...
But was shaken n woken up by mom instead!
As the bright morning sun took charge from moon...
The talking tree said goodbye too soon...

that all the love you
create within yourself,
eventually finds a way to
reach out to the world
and back to you,
in ways that can
truly amaze you!— % &

-

all of my entire world has fallen in place!— % &

Museum lights flickered...
A glass case broke open...
Next morning, the mummy was found missing!

-

Moon smiled upon her...
...and upon the rock, now crimson!
She turned around and led her pack away!

-

'You forgot sugar in tea...'
She tasted...
'Now, it's sweet!'
