It wasn’t touch that undid me—
it was the pause before it.
The air between us
thick with wanting,
like dusk holding its breath
before surrendering to night.

Your gaze lingering a bit too long
Like a slow soft song
and somewhere between silence and sigh,
the world turned crimson.

-

Breathing after suffocation

The initial few breaths
Will be such a struggle
Much needed....but very painful
Much needed..but not effortless
Yet after that....
You are free.
Free to be!

दूर जा रहे हैं।
मगर अब लगता है
शायद कभी करीब
ही नहीं थे ।

-

If you don't understand
Why I feel what I feel..
It's ok.
If nobody understands
Why I feel what I feel..
It's ok.
Because I understand myself
I understand my emotions
I understand why I feel what I feel.
And that's all that matters.

When we follow,
Whatever we have been taught
By our parents,Guru,and God,
We will feel close to them
Wherever they are...
They will be close to us.

-

He will protect ...
He always has.
And he will forever
It may not be the kind of protection
We are looking for
But it will be the best for us.

-

One heart
Broken into a thousand desires

-

What looks like self-sacrifice
is oftentimes just a heart
hoping love will be returned
if it gives everything away.

-

If my love ever touched you,
carry it as a blessing, not a weight.
Even if we were not meant to last,
I hope you found pieces of yourself
in the way I cared for you.

Would he still.carry out
His experiments on celibacy?
Would the public allow
Would he still choose
Nehru over Sardar Patel?
Would he allow his surname
To be used randomly?
Would he keep sitting
On satyagraha?
Would he? Would he?
