Graveyard of the Heart

Once bathed in light, my heart did glow,
In love’s embrace, I thought I’d grow.
But shadows crept where sunlight fell,
A whispered lie, a broken spell.

Your eyes that once were soft and true,
Now cold, like graveyard’s evening dew.
You buried trust beneath your feet,
And left me wandering in defeat.

Beneath the moon’s indifferent gaze,
I walk alone through endless haze.
The love we shared, a twisted ghost,
Now haunting me, a fading host.

So here I stand, where roses die,
Among the stones, I hear the sigh.
A lover’s grief, a mourner’s plea
Betrayed by you, now dead to me.

-

You were the spark that lit my soul,
But in the dark, you lost control.
You listened to the winds, not me,
And drifted far, too blind to see.

The whispers swayed you, made you doubt,
And in your flight, you shut me out.
I begged you stay, to fight, to hold,
But you sought freedom, heart turned cold.

Now panic grips, a crushing weight,
I’m drowning in a love turned late.
The air is thin, I cannot breathe
Your silence is a wound I can’t relieve.

I thought we’d rise, not fall apart,
But you broke me with your reckless heart.
Now every echo, every breath,
Is a reminder of your quiet death.

So go, explore, but know this pain
You’ll never find what we could’ve been again.
I’m haunted by the ghost you left,
A love betrayed, my heart bereft.

She walked away to brighter skies,
while he stayed bound to promised ties.
Her lips on strangers, lies on flame,
he bore it all, still loved the same

He found her streets where truth decayed,
she turned to stone, her victim’s play.
His silence bled through wounded eyes,
unanswered hurt, unheard goodbyes

Alone he left, with a broken heart,
a body bruised, a soul unblessed.
The city roared, the headlights came,
and carved his end in steel and flame.

She came back home, the earth was bare,
no voice, no touch, no love was there.
Only a stone, his name engraved
the boy who stayed, the boy enslaved.

मैं अवसाद में था
मैंने कुछ शब्द लिखे और कलम तोड़ दी,
कलम तोड़ते हुए मुझे ऐसा लगा की
जैसे मेरे भीतर भी कुछ चटक गया हो
मेरे सामने उस कागज़ पर कुछ शब्द लिखे थे
और उसपर स्याही सा कुछ बिखरा पड़ा था
वो मेरा रक्त नहीं था पर कुछ था
जो मेरी धमनियों में जम रहा था
मैं बिखर चुका था बिल्कुल उन चंद शब्दों के
कोरे कागज पर उतर जाने पर
आख़िर उनमें ऐसा क्या था?
तुम नहीं लौटोगी
बस यही लिखकर कुछ गीले बूंदों के निशान थे
फिर कलम तोड़ दी गई..

Burnt Wings

You sat with the sunset shining in your eyes,
And I hid my love in a thousand skies.
I should have remembered Icarus,
I reached for the Sun and my wings turned to dust.

Maybe these wings will grow again,
To chase the light, though I know not when.
For my last act of love, I let go of you,
and in that same breath, I let go of me too.

-

Under the festival lights, our hands brushed by chance,
Laughter echoed around, but we shared a stolen glance.
The rain began falling, soft like a dream,
And in that moment, it felt like we were a team.

You whispered my name, as the world faded away,
In the dance of the storm, our hearts started to sway.
Your eyes held mine, a spark in the night,
And time stood still in the rain's gentle flight.

With each drop that fell, our hearts beat as one,
Our souls intertwined, two hearts undone.
In the magic of rain, we found our own space,
As I felt the warmth of your lips on my face.

The world disappeared, just us in the sound,
Of the rain’s soft rhythm, the night’s love profound.
First kiss, best friend, in the rain’s embrace,
A memory we’ll keep, in this perfect place.

Silent Hope

She shattered the trust, with hands so cold,
A love once pure, now bought and sold.
I saw the lies, I knew the game,
But still I stayed, calling her name.

She cursed me harsh, and broke my heart,
Still, I never let the venom start.
In silence, I held my pain, my fears,
Hoping she’d change, through endless tears.

She cheated, betrayed, her touch a lie,
Yet I loved her still, though I didn’t know why.
I gave her all, though she took my soul,
Wishing she'd find her way back whole.

But now I stand, with scars that speak,
A love so strong, it made me weak.
In silence, I bled, but now I see
The love I gave was never for me.

-

She: "She doesn’t know what tomorrow will bring,
but in his arms, today feels like forever."

He: "He’s scared of the future, yet in her presence,
he finds peace in the unknown."

She: "She can’t promise forever,
but she’ll give him all of her heart... right now."

He: "And right now, her love is all he needs,
even if the world falls away."

From Amma’s Heart

My dear, I hear you in the quiet of the night,
In every whisper, in every tear that takes flight.
Though my hands may not reach to hold you tight,
Know that in your heart, I am still your light.

I see you, my love, with the same soft gaze,
The way I saw you in those innocent days.
No distance, no time, no stars too far,
I am with you, in every beat of your heart.

The last kiss, my child, was never goodbye,
It's a promise though unseen, I’m always nearby.
I’m the breeze that brushes your cheek, the song that you hear,
I’m in your every step, in your joy and your fear.

You are not alone, you’ve never lost me,
For love knows no end, it’s boundless, you see.
Though I may not hold your hand in this place,
I’m forever with you, in every trace of grace.

I loved her in the silence of the night,
With tender dreams that couldn’t take flight.
Her heart was bound by chains unseen,
Loving another, yet lost in between.

I held her close in words unsaid,
A silent ache, a tear I never shed.
She smiled at him, the one who could not see,
The depth of her love, that should have been for me.

But she, the fragile star in his sky,
Chased a hope that would never fly.
And I, the shadow, held back my plea
"Can you ever love the way you love him, me?"

Now I stand, with love and pain in hand,
A lover who cannot ask, cannot demand.
For she’ll never feel the same, I know,
Yet in my heart, I’ll never let her go.
