Knives & daggers look so innocent
when you realise that words can bury into the soul & leave the deepest scars .....

-

The pull so strong
from here as well as from there,
that it renders
the restless poet frozen.
'Home' is a myriad of feelings
felt for so long.
Still, the dilemma persists,
where does the haunted
soul belong ??

-

I realised there can be no excuse for abuse and I moved on.

-

an escape pod that is
launched without any
pre-set destination,
it may take me anywhere
within the realms of this universe
or even out somewhere
in a parallel oblivion.

Things I couldn't say (Part 4)

'Forevers' can be different.
Your forever ends before you.
My forever ends with me.
Our forever ends
when my haunted soul
stops wandering this realm.

Things I couldn't say (Part 3)

To not being in love with you,
it may break me irreparably,
but, may be I'll be whole
again in my soul someday.
Haunted by my love,
my own heart is being crushed
mercilessly at the moment.
The pain is excruciating,
I don't want to be resuscitated.

-

जब दिल अपना नहीं रह जाता
जब किसी की एक मुस्कुराहट के लिए
कुछ भी करने को तैयार हों
जब किसी की हर एक बात
खुद ख़ुदा का फरमान लगे
दिल हार कर भी जीत का एहसास लगे
जब कोई अपनी धड़कनों से भी ज़्यादा पास लगे
जब जुनून भी वही और सुकून भी वही
मोहब्बत हो ही जाती है जब समंदर भी वही और प्यास भी वही

Things I couldn't say (part 2)

Every goodbye feels as if
it could be the last one.
Every moment I am scared
that you'll walk away.
I wish I could answer
all the unspoken questions.
Alas, I am but a haunted soul,
in love with you, in my forever.

-

Things I couldn't say (part 1)

I've held you close to me,
so close that our hearts
were beating as one.
When you speak of going away,
you break mine into
a thousand pieces.
I will fade away from your memory,
you will stay forever
in my broken soul.

-

When laughter rings loud,
everyone needs to hear.
Smiles are so pretty,
the world needs to see.
But sorrow, the need to break apart,
needs its own corner, its own space.
This space can be a place, a home,
or sometimes a person.
