No More

With the rising ray

Beginning my day

Open my eyes

With a smile

Feeling you there

Sleeping by my side

With the stars twinkling

Moon shining

I lie alone gazing

Suddenly, a curve blends

And I smile

When in no time

I find myself

By your side

I hear, that laughter

Those chuckles and giggles

And with them

The reality whispers

Sleep my love

For I am gone

No more there

To spend and share

I then freeze

Mind just shuts

Holding myself tight

I sleep away past

And thus pass the night

The day again

Hits my face

I take up tasks

With a smiley mask

Waiting for it to end

And meet you again.

Why……???

Questions, queries

Answers, replies

Expectations, realisations

If that’s what you want,

If that’s what is needed,

If that’s what,

The time is asking for?

Are you alright?

If that’s what, you need,

For a question……

Certainly, it feels miserable,

If that’s what, you want,

As an answer……

Shrunk into the depths,

The depths of guilt

If that’s where, you expect,

Me to be

The sound of silence,

If that’s what, you want

Me to hear

Infinite darkness,

If that’s what, you want

Me to see

Lips zipped, hands tied,

Cursed, shaken by you

I lay beside,

Agonised, praying,

To my dreams, whispering

I know you,

You share the same,

Then why?

Why this pain?

This trouble?

Let the cloud burst

Pour out the rain

Make that old sound

Making each second

A memory profound.

The Bitter-Sweet

In the beginning,

THE END.

The story still began_____

No past, no future,

Just a present,

The gifted moment.

Blazing brilliance,

Silvery radiance.

Living two lives,

Living it wise.

Twinkling stars,

Morning rays,

Evenings, noon,

Merged soon.

Watered innocence,

Fragrant freshness,

Blossomed each night.

The suppressed child,

Grew with each fight.

Few ups and

Few downs

Hung ups – Tie ups,

They still moved on.

Living two lives,

Living it wise

No past, no future,

Just a present, present.

Learning, discovering,

Realising, transforming,

Confused, tired,

Exhausted, retired.

Amidst_______

The whisky, whispers,

And_________

The silent murmurs.

Holding close,

Holding tight,

Pulling down,

Drenched and drowned.

To sway again,

In the pouring rain,

and 

the rising ray.

In the second part,

Living better half.

Spreading the joy,

Living contended.

Savouring all,

Especially, the unintended.

No past, no future,

Just a present, present.

Living two lives,

Living it wise.

Dwelling in time,

Time that ripened,

and

Slipped off the hands

Alike dry sand.

Unsaid, said,

Undone, done.

Living two lives,

Flocked and flew.

With________

A new beginning

In__________

THE END.

हूँ यहाँ , हूँ वहां...........

सारा सन्नाटा 

खुद में समेंटे 

जी रही हूँ यहाँ,

एक हंसी लेके 

उन पलों के सहारे 

जी रही हूँ ,

जी रही हूँ,

यहाँ , हूँ वहां,

उन पलों में ,

समेंटे थे ख्वाब ,

वोह खुशियाँ,

उन पलों की सच्चाई,

किसी पल का अरमान था,

याद नहीं आती,

क्यूंकि-----

उन्ही में यहाँ

मै जी रही हूँ,

किन्तु,

दर्द होता है,

जब दूर-----

टिमटिमाते तारों में,

खुद को नहीं पाती हूँ,

इंतज़ार है एक बार,

फिर से उस बहार का

युहीं समय काट रही हूँ,

हूँ यहाँ ,

हूँ वहां.
