Ek arsa tha...

जब चीज़ें, लोग, लिखावटें, बातें, यादें
संभाल के रखने का
शौक़ीन हुआ करते थे हम।
गर अब,
बस,
छोड़ देते हैं।।

There’s a difference, meri jaan.
Difference between those who like,
and those who love.

Those who like, know how to mess up a heart.
But those who love, know how to handle it.

Former’s a mere fascination,
perhaps a passion even.
But latter’s, a patience.

Like a letter written with utmost devotion,
into the vacuum of life,
waiting_
just waiting.

I was never a woman who believed in
holding onto_ gripping tight,
leaning, resting head over shoulder
every time around the corner_
Nah.

For I believe,
in something more deep, more subtle,
like a narrower band width of life where
something gentler, un-inhibiting
inexpressible exists_
a place where despite words spoken aloud,
silence never stood misread,
misunderstood.
I believed in freedom.
To think, to act, to love, to breathe.
Freedom to let oneself be.
Just be.

Where
you being purely, entirely you_
With me,
or without me
would make me
happy.

These days,
people,
don't miss each other.

They just get re-placed.

And time moves forward.

She was a storm in search of her home.
Relentless in pursuit of something she couldn’t accurately put a point on. Like a stream migrating towards vastness of an endless sea, like a quake within the depth of an ocean bed_ She was wilderness herself, unyielding, misfit midst what people defined the world to be_ yet, she searched_ her eyes did, keen & unwavering…

But who’s to tell her Meri jaan, that storms are destined to find no arms to halt in.

And that,
a whirlwind,
can be halted
only by thyself.

-

You know what?

People are truly beautiful
when they laugh.
_________

All the बत्तीस दांत दिखने वाला,
Uninhibited, unhinged,
unplanned, un-thought, khoobsurat,
Live in the moment वाला हंसी।
बच्चों जैसी।।
