  • Gone with the wind

    जहां मौका मिले,

    वहां चाहत भी हो ही जाती है ।

    Like a season, a festival, a local bloom,

    Poof, gone away was the trace of gloom.

    Newfound love, budding friendship, just married

    from one moon to another the talks got carried.

    Sun or rain, day or night,

    couldn’t dare to loose sight.

    Waiting with bated breath for the beeping,

    Tossing and turning, happy yet weeping.

    Here & now

    & when the clock struck twelve,

    reminding the time is over to delve.

    Time to hang the tiara, the golden slippers, the gown,

    The magic is wearing, it’s about to wear down.

    Time flies by, days, months by week,

    Not that one is broken, quiet or meek.

    But trying to do it all, until one breaks

    Giving it all, and all it takes.

  • Other side of the rainbow

    Be or don’t be, say or don’t say,

    The wait continues another day.

    I cry when I think of you,

    when I cry, all I think is you.

    I shall always be yours and you mine,

    One day, someday, when we can turn back time.

    I don’t feel ill for what you got or built,

    Neither do I vie for it, no guilt.

    Cos what we had, shall be forever

    Etched in our lives whenever, wherever.

    Longing in pain, silence or loneliness,

    Yet sailing through life’s myriad of happiness.

    I get you – you get me, like no one else,

    & that’s not something only in the past tense.

    Wish I could share how I feel,

    It’s heart wrenching to keep lips forever sealed.

    Poetic or not, now my memories are full of you,

    Hoping against hope, isn’t that dead optimistic too.

    Cos ain’t no sunshine when she’s gone,

    With me holding on to the pieces of my heart all torn.

  • Bittersweet

    It’s that feeling of tingle which fills your heart with sadness and at the same time sprinkles joy amidst the darkness. It’s similar to a dark moonlit night where there is the cover of darkness in the night but the subtle moonlight lingers on giving you hope and perspective.

    It’s the feeling when you have been waiting for something to happen but also half wish that it would happen later than sooner. Like losing a loved one to a long fought terminal illness, fallout with a beloved friend which is irrevocable or the empty nest which you want to stay filled with the conversations and laughter of your children.
