When I wrote
my first ever writeup for you,
I didn't know there would follow
a thousand more,
a thousand more suns for moons,
a thousand more flowers and smiles,
a thousand more words,
and
a thousand more poems
only after your name.

~ things you do in love~


-Vrushali Patkar

It feels so good to be loved by someone,
It feels even more good to love someone,
But,

What do you do
When you don't know what you feel?
All you know is that your heart is
as hallow and empty as a room full of strangers.
What can you do to make yourself feel
a little less miserable than you already are?
How do you fill the voids in the dark
you can barely see?
What do you do to feel nothing but yourself ?

Yes, everything you do is fun but
what do you do to be happy?

I guess,
you just wait for the time to come
and honour the slow killing vulnerability.

Your words were so harsh,
They deep slit my throat,
That I can no longer find words
That make my peotry breathe.

-

It takes
one big step
and lot of
sleepless nights,
In healing
the darkest of wounds
of your childhood.

-

Fragile,
Our heart.
Yet we give
The best of pieces
To the ones
Who do nothing
But distruct them
Tenderly and slowly,
With all the love,
Into more pieces
Which can't be repaired.
And later,
We are left with nothing,
But with our
Fragile heart,
In more pieces
Which we still give,
To new people,
With the only hope,
That now,
There will be
No new destruction.
And No repair needed.

छत को खोनेसे अगर तुम डरते,
तो तूफान के ना आनेसे नाराज ना होते.

-

रात्रीस जरा तू सांग ना, कमी कठोर होण्यास
रोज सोबत तुझी आठवण घेऊन येनं
गरजेच तर नाही !

-

I wonder how many more rehearsals
is it going to take for me to finally come
up to you with all my questions.

-

So, you just hang
somehwere in between
'losing what you have'
and 'what you feel is right'.

Some corners of some rooms
hold the darkest stories of
someone's childhood.
