Iiii

Another day has just gone by,
Another day will light the sky,
A little lost, a little gained,
My heart witheld both sorrow and joy.

As my head rests on the pillow,
I think about deeds of the day.
I hurt her and did him a favour.
I promise myself not to hurt her,
And continue the good work done.

I also fantasize, had this poem been everyone's,
What a beautiful place this world,
Would be to live in.

Then I grew up.

I realised that,
There is so much everyone wants,
And so less to be had.

-

रे नीले अम्बर!
तू कहीं
सागर का
बिंब तो नहीं...

-

You eixst
pinned to the mirror.
while my letters pile up;
untouched,
untold,
unanswered.

-

शायर हूँ, मेरी रूह में पोशीदा हैं आईने की कतरनें,
तेरी नज़र तय करेगी के तुझे मुझमें दिखता क्या है..

The chilly breeze on that cool spring morning had a quality of nostalgia to it. It brought to life many promises, sending my heart wandering in castles of salt and sand built in lovelorn spring breeze of yesteryears.

I held my heart and carried on with my day.

All the castles are eventually washed away in time.

-

I stare into
The pool
Hoping to
Catch a glimpse
Of you
In my reflection.

-

And it's when
I saw my mother's
Reflection
In the mirror
I knew I had to
Be strong
Like she was
Like she never showed
Like she still is

-

You blossomed in your hell, while I rotted in my heaven. Our perspectives decide how flourishing our human life can be.

-

कहती हो आंखें नम नहीं,
कह दो की तुम्हे कोई गम नही..
चेहरे पर मुस्कान लाए हो मगर,
शब्दों की बेरूखी कम नहीं...
