I Love You

Love, banging on the walls of my heart ;
Love, struggling hard ,striving for survival ;
Love , ushering in hope in darkness ;
Love , warming up the cold crevices of my soul ;
Love , beaming with laughter at the little moments of togetherness ;
Love , only friend that I'm left with ;
Love , the caretaker, the wellwisher , the thoroughbred gentleman -
who'll never leave me alone ,
who'll never abandon me in
the deserted deserts of loneliness ;
Love ,the knight in shining armour ;
making me believe in myself and others.
Oh Love , I Love You !!

Yet so close

The confession 
of your heart rendering love..
the warmth of your soul...
the caressing touch of your voice...
the lively laughter resonating in my ears..
the music that comes through two hearts beating together ..


Narrates a story of pure love,
Recites a verse of pristine togetherness,
where we are far
yet so close..

Hey you my love!!

Hey you my love
Why do you fly away from me?
Making me jest at myself-
a joke ,a pain and agony.

Hey you my love
Why do you make me waver and wander,
making me cruel to myself-
a scrutiny ,a criticism and analysis.

Hey you my love
why then ,do you  come back to me?
is it to reaffirm my faith?
peace, freedom and serenity.

The choice is yours!!

You  say you don't

understand me enough.

You say you don't

comprehend my feelings.

You say you don't

find us similar.

You say you don't

feel what I feel.

You say you don't

believe in love at first sight.

You say you don't

love me.

Let me tell you ,my love...

my understanding

of love is strangely different.

It is a small smile I

can bring to your face.

It is a fraction of

laughter that I see in your eyes.

It is an undefined feeling

where I just want to give love

without any apprehensions,

without any expectations:

that's the pure,pristine colour

of my heartfelt ,vibrant,

unconditional love.

So..choose you may

 my love

 to love

or not to love..

you will always be loved

unconditionally.

IF IT'S NOT FOREVER IT'S NOT LOVE

Silence had shut
the doors of love,
locked it tight
like a war prisoner.
It tried hard to murder
the broken fragments
of emotions intact
lying ,curled up in our hearts.

Silence , like a stealthy conman
with the sword like sharp distance
in his hand
crawled,creeped into
the dry inlands of our hearts
making it oblivious of
the little joys of togetherness,
belittling our love.

Alas! Silence fell flat on its face
ironically murdered by
eternal love,
a conspirator of our
loving hearts,
making it clear to us
and the world:
if it's not forever
it's not love.

Unmusical melody

I feel a mechanical music within me-
there's a silence of noisy streets ,
(my friends and foes, walking ,trampling,
 past my crisscross mind)
carried by reverberating ,
 miniscule,slack, snake-like nerves
 to my torrentially
potent,
cynical brain,
who like a blank slate ,
writes and rubs off
 people,
memories,
moments,
unhindred
 and
uncensored.


Somehow ,
no matter how hard I try,
 the brain like a factory belching smoke
 goes on hammering me
with this dead,
undesired,
unmusical melody;
wherein I can't forget you
 or the moments shared with you...

main malang ik jhola latkaye

मैं मलंग इक झोला लटकाए

चलूँ इधर -उधर

न कोई मंजिल

न ही कोई एक रास्ता

जहाँ चाहूं वहां बना लूं

अपना छोटा सा इक  घर

मैं मलंग इक झोला लटकाए

चलूँ इधर -उधर

कभी मिलूँ गले से

रेत के ठन्डे टीलों से

कभी लटकूँ मैं  

 भीड़ भरी सरकारी बस पर

कभी लूं भीड़ मैं अपनी आखें मीच

कभी लूं हर पल को मैं मन में सींच

  मैं मलंग इक झोला लटकाए

चलूँ इधर -उधर

पता नहीं मंजिल

की तलाश फिर क्यों है मुझे

क्या दो 'मैं ' बसते हैं मुझमे ?

हर चेहरे पर मुझे तेरी ही परछाई

क्यों दिखती है ?

पता नहीं क्यों यह टीस

मिटती नहीं है ?

सभी तो है मलंग

सभी को है

इक मंजिल की तलाश

सभी लिए है इक  झोला

अपनी अपनी यादों का

 इक पोटली अपने कुछ

खूबसूरत झूठे वादों का

  मैं मलंग इक झोला लटकाए

चलूँ इधर -उधर
