एक वक्त्त था जब हम भिड़ में भी सथ थे
ओर अब, साथ होकर भी भिड़ सा लगता है।

The moon burnt red that night....


.....and some redness she borrowed from those eyes bleeding tears.

Over a sip of tea.

I would have asked for that one promise you never really made to me, may be because you were sure we would end up in a forever ? The promise to never miss out on each other completely. And I say "completely" cause I never wanted to hold onto you over 'yourself". I wanted "us"to be free not just "you" or "me". Today, I am loosing out things that I don't even own. My heart is heavy and empty at the same time. I wish "we" had stayed a bit longer.

Fill in the right feelin'.

Remember,
Heaviness is light.
You can easily let it go.

-

You and I,
in quest of our substancial quantums of life.
You, like a thirsty sea failing to embrace its shore.
I, like a wallflower burgeoning in wilderness.

-

My ineffable psyche has
crossed mountains now,
making me homesick
for a home
that was never mine.

This too shall evanesce...

Your exaggerated forevers,
And my belittled I love yous.

Your thirteen platinum nose rings,
And my only handloom turtle neck cardigan.

The filthy promises you made,
And my assertion of never breaking them.

Your running time,
And my paused epoch with you.

Your gaudy planned suppers,
My mundane cravings on a Saturday night.

You being YOU by all means,
And ME searching for my copyrights.

The loathsomeness of our ugly love,
And the concoction of our good old times.

This too shall evanesce...
