We stood
Separated by gates
I waited for a knock
You kept searching
For a doorbell

You'll find many children who haven't seen a school gate, but not a single child who hasn't seen a temple gate.

They say communication is the key.
Sometimes, you lose that key. Mostly
because you didn't care for it when you
had it. Maybe sometimes you are
meant to lose the key without using it
even once.
Some gates are better closed or there
exist greater doors to open; whichever
makes you feel better, consider that
one. But it's true that standing in front
of a lock won't help. So stop looking
backwards. Either give yourself a
closure, or just be stiff and go ahead.

Those voices inside her head. She was never sure whether they were screams or whispers. Whether they were asking her to escape or to stay. But she was sure about one thing. Listening to them would push her through the gates of sheer madness and chaos.

The Gates were never closed, it’s just that you never tried to open them.

Driven by their hate and to prove them wrong,
I'll unlock the right gates doing only right & nothing wrong.

I don’t intend to enter large gates
with big guards and large moustaches.

I like small rickety gates
with gnarled iron flowers
which are left ajar a little
so I can wiggle in unnoticed.

He opened the gates of his heart.
She flooded.

अक्सर बंद ‌हो जाते हैं दरवाजे
अंधेरा होते ही,
बाहर बढ़ती तन्हाई के डर से।

Its enough,
Enough of asking for forgiveness,
Even when you did nothing wrong,
Of forgiving even before anyone asked for it.
Now, I can forgive, let go of grudges and,
Still not keep a space for you in my life.
It doesnt matter if you mattered a lot for me,
If you cant respect what i am,
The door is open, just for an exit.
