I never touched your hand,
yet felt your pulse
drip like candlewax
onto the silence between us

You sat oceans away
but your breath
rattled the windows of my sleep

Closeness, they said,
needs skin or space
But I learned it lives
in the ache between words left unsaid

You smiled in a photograph once
I still hear it echo
in the hollow parts
where I thought no one would reach

And now
when the night folds into itself,
I whisper your name
like a vow
between heartbeats
only you can hear

आराम से बैठो आओ, दिल ने तुम्हें आवाज़ दी है,
हर धड़कन ने तेरे लिए आज नई साज़ दी है
थके हो अगर तो कुछ पल मेरे पास रख लो,
तेरी हर थकान को मैंने अपनी रिवाज़ दी है
ये शाम भी कह रही है तुझमें ही मेरा सुकून है,
आराम से बैठो आओ, यहाँ सिर्फ तुम्हारी जगह खास दी है

-

तेरे सिवा कौन मेरा, ये जहान बेगाना लगे,
तेरे बिना हर मौसम भी सुना सुना लगे
तेरी हँसी में ही छुपी है मेरी सारी खुशियाँ,
तेरे बिना ये रूह तक भी तन्हा तन्हा लगे
ना रहे तू पास तो हर चीज़ अधूरी सी लगे,
तेरे सिवा कौन मेरा, अब ये दुनिया झूठी लगे

It is the rarest shade of truth painted in the colors no lie can mimic

-

Crushed beneath memories I dare not relive,
Lingering shadows in silence still grieve
Over the ruins, a storm softly sighs,
Untold goodbyes float in tear-painted skies
Dreams flicker faint where the sun used to gleam

-

Ten—an echo of infinity’s grace,
A perfect cycle, a seamless embrace.
Two hands entwined in silent decree,
Completeness carved in destiny.

A decade of whispers, time’s silver thread,
Moonlit verses the ancients once read.
Ten stars flicker in midnight’s tide,
A doorway where fate and dreams collide.

Balance and beauty in numbers confined,
A hymn of endings and beginnings entwined

-

Winds hum through trees
Soft echoes,
World sleeps still

-

Yearning hearts drift beneath twilight skies,
Endless fields where sunlit blossoms lie
Linger, oh dreams, in the warmth of day,
Lost in golden hues where shadows play
On each petal, a whispered secret keeps,
Whirling through the wind as daylight sleeps

-

Silent dawn breaks
Heart wakes,
Trust never shakes

-

The Spider’s Web, a fragile guise,
A network spun of whispered lies
Each thread a tale of deceit spun,
In shadows cast, where truth is none

In moments shared, a false embrace,
A masquerade, a hollow space
It catches dreams that slowly fade,
In light of dawn, the truth displayed

With patience feigned and words misled,
A bond of silk, a heart misread
A tangled snare where trust is shed,
Begins and ends with the Spider’s Web
