Night knows it all.

Unlike the Day it doesn't push me to colour my hope,

It rather wraps me in its timeless darkness and frees me from expectation.

Unlike the Day, who abandons me amidst the noise of life,

The Night sings to me in its silences, for all it wants is be is my companion.

Unlike the day which make me want distant and alluring things.

The Night always tells me that I'm enough, for all it wants for me is to be content.

All I saw today was thunder and bats in the sky, symbolic of our defeat.

All I saw is my illusion of freedom fade away.

All I saw is the castles of hope for future built on the same old mistakes of humanity and retrograding.

All I saw was the colossal human ego costing lives and the ecological corruption and imbalance induced continually by the want for power but rendered powerless by the Nature.


Ironic, how we think we are free as beings caged in our privileged homes when smallest of nature's nudge seems like it's wrath.

To my better half,

Though you know almost everything there is about me, there are things which are unsaid which I need to tell you.

Though, I know after my countless mistakes and things I put you through were forgiven by you, I never did forgive myself. Everyday.

Though I smile and ask to live the moment we have, I fear for the every next one that I may not have you in it.

Though practicality and reality is what I always seem to talk about, somehow my love for you seems to drive me far away from them. Defy them. Hate them. For all they tell me is that I can't have it the way we are.

Though I know, unlike me you keep your promises, I'm scared to lose the soul you are from being with me to the very last day I live.

Though I'm in love with you. You mean to me more than a lover. More than anything I can ever love, for you are the one who taught me to love.

Don't let me tumble in the abyss of losing you for all I have is hope and my hope is you. The only hope to save my soul and mind.

Darkness is our caricature of negative emotions and fears.

As we embrace them and acknowledge their presence,

Darkness just seems as endearing as light.

I closed my eyes and asked what did happiness mean to me.

The only memory which struck me was..

When I was sitting by the river,
The sound of gushing water with the slow windy chills.

The twilight just kicking in over the lush green mountains and the distant laughs of my people at the hearth.

I realised that,
Sometimes we forgo on the warmth of happiness because we deny what we actually want for what we are supposed to want.

-

You cage your pain and emotion.
You let them hang,
Until they forget what freedom is.

You cringe.
But you remain your own captor.

Let go.

Before Sunset
I shall get into the warm embrace of contentment,
For the stars I see after the setting have always told me to rejoice them in peace.

-

Sometimes...

We paint a picture of ourselves,
In our mind.

Anything we do beyond it,
Seems like a distortion.

It's all about Acceptance,
That we are a unique work of art.

And art is not thresholds and perfection.
But rather about its process of creation.

-

I shall get into the warm embrace of being content,
For the stars I see after the setting have always told me to rejoice them in peace.

रास्ते अनजान होंगे,
दिशाएं शायद झुटलाएंगी,
पर मेहनत और शिद्दत..
मंजिल और मुकाम, दोनों बतलाएंगी।
