FALL
SHARADH

-

death waiting at the door
her labored breathing
echoing through the mask
there is pleading in her eyes
as I watched teary eyed

-

In your shadow
shadow

I merge like
day and night

-

his fading image
in a wintry evening
shivering before
vanishing,
forever from
the screen of my mind
a storm started,
brewing in my desolate
heart

-

when it rains in winter
dew drops looks like
pearly necklace
dazzling on my rose buds
like jewellery on a new bride

-

that hidden village
and my memories
as if, the almighty
has used his brush
delicately

-

which should be handled
carefully
it's as fragile as the wings of a butterfly
broken easily without a chance for
mending

-

my journey
in mother's womb
painful whispers of birth
silence of night
pain within

-

उस नुक्कड की दुकान पर
एक कप चाय के साथ
भूलकर भी भूल नहीं पाते
वो हसीन श्याम
आज भी चाय बनती है
पर पीते है किसी और के साथ

-

ये चंचल मन
क्यों इतना शोर मचाती है
निशब्द लफ़्ज़ों में
