భానుడు కరిగే వేళ
తొలి సంధ్య కిరణపు కాంతి తాకగా
గూటికి చేరే గువ్వల కిలకిల
సవ్వడి నడుమ వీచే
వసంత సమీరాన
నేనూ కలిసిపోనా
నా చెలి చెక్కిళ్ళను తాకి కవ్వించగా!

after a while you learn that
locking yourself down behind
jammed doors and windows
won't bring you the peace
you are hoping for
if the storm that you've been
hiding from has made
you its home.

after a while you learn
that running away from
heartbreaks and pain
won't take you anywhere
if you can't shed the weight
of the past and learn to
love yourself again.

Your absence means
A lot to me;
Nevertheless it does not
Matter to you.
Your adsense like
I'm breathless;lifeless
Your absence makes me
Realize how important
You are for me:
It's like a body without it's soul.
I cannot express my feelings,
How desparetly you are missed
How much I am dying everyday
To just get a touch of you
To get a glimpse of you
Feel you, have you by my side.
My emotion, passion, everything,
Is only for you.
Your absence ,your ignorance
can't prevent me from loving you.

"Distance"
There's a lot to speak about distance
Sometimes distance acts like a priority
And sometimes it acts like a necessity
But the true meaning of distance
Can only be understood by those
Who actually live in distance
Two souls living far from each other
For them distance is an examination
Which their understanding and
love can only conquer
Distance can never be the reason for
someone to back out
Rather,Distance can help to find
Out how strong the bonding between any relationship is
Distance may be of miles apart but
Not of the feelings and bonding apart.

After a while you learn
About the transient nature
Of everything in life
Including life itself.
You learn how
only the present matters
And your depression is from your past
And your anxiety from your future.
You learn to do what you love,
Or you Are forced to love what you do.
Most importantly you learn
That the key to happiness is you
And the more you spend on yourself
The more returns you get in the form of happiness.

It died!
With time, faded!
Everytime you left her,
You called her immature,
She was full of life instead;
Simplicity and innocence,
used to reflect her smile!
What made her fair, just,
was the strength of being
able to love unconditionally
You put thoughts rationally,
Yet you failed to follow the
reason of her final letgo,
Left without regrets;
Blank!It just faded!
It died!

I’m a wild girl
With a swirling
skirt
Roaming in the forest
to take rest
From the world
of illusion
To protect myself
from illegal vision!

Even in your
Absence, i can feel
Your presence.

For, your presence
once had an essence
On me, an essence
That serves as your
presence in your
Absence.

Pratigya kya hoti hai nibhane wale se pucho,
Hum barso se pyase hai aur baithe hai jhil kinare.....

River of Melancholy

I am swimming in the river of melancholy,
I feel lost and deserted completely.
I have scars and wounds on my whole body,
I hear many screams and cries inside my head but after searching I find nobody.

After reaching the mid of the river,
I started drowning in emotions and my voice quivered.
It has no water but is still more deep,
If one gets caught the pain is in portions, death is not so easy like a forever sleep.

We never desire for it but somehow we get caught,
Depression and misery gets tied with us in a complicated knot.
The bones get cracked, the wounds multiply, the blood gushes out,
My heart screams and the pain echoes when I shout.

There is no healing for the misery and pain,
The pain itself will heal and at last it will make things better and will go in vain.
~MANISH MUKHI.
