who lost pages
tore up diaries
burnt drafts
loved and lost
hoping to get a ‘shelf’
or a little faith

got an ‘acceptance’


Chandni |

-

our life is a summary
of a great tragic
tale full of comic relief

-

all those who have
cried for love

longing to be
loved or for

something
called pain

-

as much as you
want them to

they just paralyse
our senses
and drown us
in nostalgia

-

rains seldom do
justice to our tears

for as long as we
live together we
can't separate the two

-

my dreams are nothing
more than memories
wrapped up as tears

-

you are that famous poem
and i am that footnote

-

.

-

love isn't blind
maybe short sighted


marriage isn't a compromise
maybe parenting is


life isn't complicated
maybe we are

-

world would have been
looking for him and he
wouldn't even notice that

be a woman who becomes
his world
