I still get butterflies in my stomach—
They never seem to stop.
It happens every time
I catch him watching me—
Even after twenty years of marriage.

I curated the perfect playlist,
So he can listen to when he travels.
If I am not part of his journey,
At least my songs will be.

-

When my family speaks of me,
When I am in my room.

-

Mirror mirror on the wall,
Who’s the bravest of them all,
The soldiers,
The firefighters,
The policemen,
IAS officers,
Or normal people, who live everyday,
To stand against,
Sometimes their family,
Sometimes the government,
Sometimes the world.

Years later,
I found that letter,
buried deep
in a pile of stacks.
Staring at it,
I wonder—
should I leave it untouched
or read it?
Reading it will bring back
a flood of memories,
ones that will haunt me,
ones that will give me nightmares.
And yet,
I still want to open it,
to read it again,
to step into that memory,
where I once loved someone truly—
something I can no longer do.

-

Fate had its own blueprint.
Now, here I stand,
Not in the city I envisioned,
But in the life she built—
Rooted in love,
Surrounded by beauty,
And never wanting to leave.

I was a mess,
I was lost,
Not knowing where my life
Was going,
What do I need in my life,
What do I want to do,
Or what truly mattered.
Then you arrived—
And it feels like,
The only thing I ever wanted
Was you.
Everything else
Simply fell into place.

-

By the door,
Stood my favourite flowers,
In a glass vase,
Waiting to be picked up,
Loved and caressed by me.

Is what I crave,
This can not be understood by someone,
Who is not bibliophile.
It is loved,
Only by them,
Who values writing,
Reading,
And living each character they read.

-

Like an oyster,
Waiting for someone to open,
And extract the beautiful art,
Of being a pearl,



When I know you are a beautiful pearl,
I know, how costly you can be,
To my dreams,
To my life.
