You have seen everything
The happiness of a child on her b'day
The romantic moments of staring glances
The giggles of younger ones of the fun moving around
And the sparkling light of the moonlight down
You have also seen
The impatient wait of a child for his soldier father
The pain and fear of a mother waiting for her daughter
The fear of the younger ones of the spirits essence
And the crimes that happens away from
your light's presence

Kryptonite


I see you in the dark ,
Chiseled jaw and brooding anger
Broad shoulders and blue eyes tangled
With hope , fear , something unsure
You never said anything and yet were heard

I heard you in the silent of times
You were my Kryptonite ,
Always angry and a gruesome nature
You taught me life and its most important feature
That you grow old without waiting for anyone
That you grow in love without waiting for anyone

I asked you a simple question that day
Can you ever unlove me if you were given a chance
You ruined me my Kryptonite that day
By saying- " I would have chosen you over me any moment , to live in your arms even if I had to spend my life dreaming that I'd be living under a bridge"

And you decided to take the narrow lane
I tried to stop you from getting a cold
All the while trying myself to stop from falling hard
All it took you was just a pretty smile and a childish please, and
My heart decided to betray me
For the umpteenth time....

Only the darkness knows
How I have cried to let you know that I'm fine in the light
Only the darkness knows
How I have broken down to shreds and pieces and not even know
How I have lost what I proudly called mine
How the past slipped away right in front of my eyes....
Only the darkness knows
The ruling fear , the misogynist world
The calmness that I found in its roaring pain
I'd be lying if I say I'm not afraid of the dark , but
Let's just say it came to me as a knowing friend....

The Lost Shadow

Today I lost my shadow
The shadow that told me what I would be
The shadow that told me where I would rest my head
The only darkness that provided me comfort
The part of me that died on the berth

Today I lost the dream of mine
What comes isn't known to millions nigh
Is it that I won't be able to live now
Or is it that I lost what could have been my life prow.

Azadi.......mili thi ajj
Unhe , jinhone kaidi hone pe bhi himmat nhi hari
Unhe, jinhone kafan ko apnane mei jijhak nhi ki
Na unhone socha harna
Na socha unhe jitne dena
Tirange ki leher jitni dur tak gayi
Azadi ki mehek utni dur tak gayi.....

Chalte chalte kahi us ek hi raah par
Un hi pairo ke nishan ko dekhkar
Humne chalna sikha tha
Wo dada- nana , nani ne jo ladoo aur seekh di thi
Kahi unhi ko parke kuch karna tha
....

Aaj barso bit gaye toh un raasto par chale
Aj ahmiyat mahsoos hui unki toh zimmedari samajh mei agayi
Agar kisine bohut saalo pehle yehi samajhaya hota
Toh unke saath zyada samay bitate
Aaj sach mei pata chala
Hum bade ho gaye....kaash nhi hote

So that I could uncurl the clusters
I set them in patterns
So they don't twirl in threads
I set them apart
So their shine doesn't mark the dead
Just as a mere star......

-

What if I wasn't busy fixing everyone
And refusing to look in the mirror that did nothing but gave a home to my projection
What if nothing hurts unlike it's edges
That cut deep and open the wound
And I don't cry but only bloom
