HE ASKED "DID YOU LOVE ME?"


 How should I begin? How should I end?

This chronicle of unrequited feelings,

Once that bloomed into a fragrant flower

But was too high to reach with sharp thorns to hurt.

A deep scar in my softest place,

When I was too innocent and naive.

Unaware of the results of my immature actions,

I remember my desperate heart.

To get his attention, to be always near him

Noting down his every minute detail.


Being flushed I blurted out my secret desire

Bringing unnecessary chaos to him and myself!

Oh! If only I could save him from the sick remarks,

As hatred from him would be the last thing I want.

Well, it didn't stop the fate that was to happen

And we never met each other's truth.


You know what darling! I wasn't me,

When I was forced to part from you.

To save my face, to wipe your hassle,

It never got me the result I wished!

I lost my hope in getting happiness,

Avoiding the best days of my calendar.

Love became a maze of twists & turns,

With the gradual yet unknown incidents.


It was the night of my life, when the sun rose again,

Breaking my boundaries of darkness and pain.

I was still walking ahead with all I could,

When you hugged me & said "Just let me in!"

My Cup of Tea

Image
 Strands of mind intertwined through time, By the long and lovely years we spent.  Together are our hearts, actions and intentions Even if we lie miles apart in lament. No pain of mine hurts you any less  Than any wound of yours,  It has grown over time, a love like a crime  Making every moment of wait harder to ensure. The bed of sleep, where desires grip  Now a dream of darkness & hunger,  Never thought of a day, where you come to play  With my hidden, fragile, wonder.  A game of hide & seek, where ecstasy weeps  And the promises you lovingly keep.  Provoking my madness to ruminate further,  Where our control threatens to slip. Yet we knowingly walk the tight rope of affection  Relishing the challenge of the heat,  Where none of us knows the end or the shore  Just choosing each other in a heartbeat.

Such a tease

  Oh sweetheart, it's been a long time How come you showed up out of blue today? You are lashing out to me fiercely Creating a fire that burns my heart to ashes,  I hear your eloquent words that jab me hard Repeating the past, reopening the memories. Do you really think I do everything for you? Maybe yes, maybe no, but you are in my thoughts,  The beginning of my emotions that starts from your name Flowing like a river larger than Amazon,  Always giving you my finest creations Because for me you deserve nothing less.  You say that you still haven't forgiven me But why your eyes soften on me? Letting me hold your hands tight,  Asking me to sit right beside you. Coming so close only to say you are going too far, Oh dear, do you know that you are such a tease?

 कहीं आग में जलते को बारिस की नमी मिल जाए  रेगिस्तान के प्यासे को नहर का नीर मिल जाए,  सागर में डूबते को जहाज़ का सहारा मिल जाए और इस मुरझाते जहाँ में मुझे तु मिल जाए,  गुल खिलते होंगे बाग में, मेरे दिल में शोले खेलते थे | तूने उन शोलों का दीपक सजाया  मेरे हर अंधेरी रात को तूने दिवाली बनाया,  मेरे हर ज़ख्म का मरहम बना तु,  हर बदसूरती का आशिक बना तु  अगर इस जिंदगी को क़ुदरत बेघर कर जाए,  तो इस रूह की आख़िरी पनाह बना तु |
