// When one door closes //

Where do the words born
in a graveyard go to die?
Crawling out of the moist ground,
they seek to run away from
the haunted heart,
only to be burnt away
by the sunlight.

Now the whole house smells
like someone I used to be.

// Company //

Love is not about letting them go
and waiting for them to return.

Dont hold back your words.
Say "dont go".
Be loud, hold their hand
and say "stay".

When you see love hesitating
at your doorstep,
pull it into a tight hug
and dont let go,
invite it inside.

Love deserves your company.

// Joy //

We are all children
running behind the
truck belonging to the
happiness delivery services,
enticed by the silky joy
covered with rainbow sprinkles.
Then comes a time in our lives
when we start growing inwards
and become the mother
looking at these kids through
the kitchen window,
baking, faltering but finally
learning to love the acquired
taste of self made contentment.

// Focus //

On a cloudy morning,
cradling between sleep
and consciousness,
I watch the drapes at the
window flutter.
My mind tries to capture
the moment like a camera
out of focus.
Blurred new memories
of nothingness, with
the sound of missed calls
crying in the background.
Some days, being alive
is enough work
for the day.

// Expiry date //

This heart is a vagabond,
trying to bury its roots
in the pockets of time,
wishing to find a
permanent home.
On a hopeful day,
It finds another
heart to live in,
An address that doesn't
come with an expiry date.

// Summer dreams //

Sweaty palms on a summers day,
We imprint the hand stains
on a perfumed paper and
send letters to outer space
giggling at how the moon
looks like the vanilla
panna cotta on our table.
It is all a fever dream until
the Gods write back to us
and take us by surprise!

// Illicit happiness //

How lonely you must've been,
recovering from one
abandonment to another,
that one day when you are
cornered by love and
promises of forever,
you found yourself asking
"Who am I if
I am not broken?".
It must be difficult to
not draw illicit happiness
of breaking your own heart,
but would you try not
running when love comes
knocking at your door
this one time?

// Women know //

Women know how a
candle burns
melting into the arms
of slow unsung death,
all the while lighting up
someone else's life.
Women know, how the
mild looking, amber flames
can be all consuming
and turn razor blades
to moths who don't
leave them alone.
Women know the
difficulty of being good,
hiding the pool of darkness
right under their feet
yet wearing their fire
like a crown.

// Road to recovery //

The road to recovery has
been long and winding;
I watch the street lamps
pass me by like fairy lights
covering the sky,
mocking at the stars.
Between the memories
of borrowed happiness,
veiled sadness and
history of constant
disappointments,
I find a flicker of peace.
I wonder how our hands
fit each other so perfectly.
I wonder if you are the
missing piece of this
messy puzzle I've been.

// Far far away //

I cannot remember what my life
was like before you arrived,
must have been one hazy dream.
Now the distance adds a sweet
note of agony between us
and I wonder how to explain this
tenderness of being far away.
I find you next to me
even when you are not.
Yet, when you ask me
how my day was,
we hum in unison-
I missed you.
I missed you.
I missed you.
