// Roots //

My roots extend
across the west coast,
Barely buried in the sand.

It gets difficult to hold on to,
When sentiments are
as shallow as the promises.

Where do I run to when I am alone?
Give me an abode worth
having homesickness for.

-

You’re out of home,
in a foreign bed,
in a strange city,
trying to sleep,
feeling homesick.

I’m home,
in my own bed,
in a known city,
trying to sleep,
feeling sick of home.

Captioned ~

all i know about you
are words on a screen
our memories together
are now
just pixelated photographs
from a summer we threw away.

-

सुन अमावस
अब पूनम हो जाने दे
दूर प्रवासी पंछी को
घोंसला लौट आने दे
मायूसी का साया
कहीं छिप जाने दे
जीवन में प्रकाश
की किरण लौट आने दे
बिछड़ों को अपनों से
फिर मिल जाने दे
पुष्प रहित जीवन में
कुसुम सुगंध लौट आने दें
सुन अमावस
अब पूनम हो जाने दे

-

You're the city I never visited;
Yet, the thought of staying away from you makes me homesick!

-

I being a Bird of passage,
Moved from east to west.
By and by, I perceived that
Home's the best place to rest.

-

Homesickness is that feeling

-

And the only drawback
of finding home in
your favourite person
is that when they leave
you feel
homesick and homeless
at the same time
