the body with choking throat
& the soul pleading me to breathe
the body casts an air of deep pessimism
& the soul reluctant to sink beneath

I'll be dressed up in your favourite blue shirt,
Will you please wear 'my favourite black shirt' for one last time?

I'll be waiting for you at the site of our first date ,
Will you come and croon my favourite song for one last time?

I'll carry a smile with a bouquet of flowers,
Will you accept my flowers and ignore my flaws for one last time?

I'll stitch the wounds you gifted me but,
Will you embrace me for one last time?

I'll promise you I won't ever show you my face again but,
Will you promise me the same for one last time?

I'll hate you then and hate myself but,
Will you love me for one last time?

love is like a star
that is effulgent
even in stygian night
in the canvas of harsh
and stretching colours
it is comforting pale white
love is a person
who is known for his lenity
a paradigm of hope
calmness and serenity
love is like a zephyr
on a hot summer day
love is a friend who stays with you
when time stops and
happiness fades away

there is a poem about once upon a love
engraved on my chest and everytime i breathe,
it sounds like heartrending screams
echoing inside empty walls of my lungs.
i could hear my bones cracking into
homeless words ready to destroy each other
orbitting closer and closer until they collide.

"I miss how you wanted me
Like a wilting sunflower
longing for sunshine."

"अब किसी की नीली आँखें
भी मुझे अपनी ओर
आकर्षित नहीं करती।
अब बारिश में भीग जाने
का दिल नहीं करता
क्योंकि इस दिल को
डर लगा रहता है
कहीं जो थोड़ा बहुत मुझमें
मेरा अस्तित्व बचा है,
कहीं वो भी इस बारिश के
साथ घुल कर बह न जाये ।"

-

"Time once gone can never be returned
so is my love for you."

-

"आकाश ने डूबते सूरज से कुछ तो कहा होगा
जो शर्मा कर इतना लाल हुआ होगा।
एक तरफां प्यार में डूबे सूरज
के दिल का भी क्या हाल हुआ होगा।
सूरज के जाते ही चाँद का आ जाना,
और सूरज के आते ही चले जाना ।
देख सितारों को चाँद के करीब,
कुछ तो बवाल हुआ होगा।"

"When you go out to check what's happening and then you see police."

Monisha beta "Antoina Moina" bolo.
'Sonîiîa Gandhi' is too middle class.
