Grief overwhelms
And you let go.
Everyday you drown a little
Easy and slow.

-

ख्वाहिश थी तोह सिर्फ एक सुनहरे शाम की,
धुंदली सी वो शाम,कोहरे की गोद में सोई।
रंगों की ख्वाहिश थी,नीला आसमान ही काफी,
बादल की ओढ़ में बेरंग आज आसमान भी।
अब तोह रंगीन हैं सिर्फ तेरी यादें ही
कोशिश अब ये बिखरी ज़िन्दगी सिमटने की।

I can't promise you the world,
I can't promise you the riches,
I can only promise
the colours of the dusk,
and as the darkness settles in,
I can hold your hand and promise,
promise to stay until the end.

-

The withering grief blossoms
again on nights like these,
when even the heaven feels pity
and pours its heart out.

-

My heart feels heavier
with each breath,and I wish
I could put it in a jar
and bury it deep.

-

Delusions of high tide,
and vague dreams of rushing waves
-Midst the desert.
Failing to set sail
Failing to ride the sand
With dry eyes and ripped sails.

-

Hours,days,months passed by,
I am still sitting in my chair taking calls
as the world is dying.
I have become stoic,for that
is what I am supposed to do,
take calls with a positive attitude
and to climb the straw ladders.

-

The mere thought of death
no longer scares me.
I feel a bit sad for my kin
but have I got anything to lose?
I doubt so.

When you have things you hold dear,
When people depend on you
for their survival,
When lives are at stake,
The thought of death will haunt you,
you will fear every aspect of it
no matter how merciful death may.

Death won't haunt you if you are free,
Truly free of all bonds,attachments,
maybe everything.

-

Regrets are eating me
from the inside.
There is no place to run,
nowhere to hide.

-

Loneliness is my retribution
The lonely night witnesses
my penitence.

Stomach full of whiskey,
head full of repent,
heart full of grief,
And eyes full of tears.

This lonely night witnesses
my pain.
Forgiveness is all I ask,
Your apathy is my retribution.
Penitence and loneliness.
