Stained Skies...

-

                                                                 
My flight ends...
Where skies get stained...
With streaks of tails...
Of the fading rainbow...
The remnants refrain...
Getting wet in rain...
Over the pyramids...
When sun sets in...
The clouds drift...
Taking loads of pain...
To the dry throats...
Of arid plains...
The pointed shadows...
Briskly walk through lanes...
Hurriedly in shades...
Of afternoon lighthouses...
Though everything hurries...
From dawn to rise...
At dusk each thing...
Weeps to come at still...
Knocking at doors....
Of defiant dreams...
All dust sleeps...
In rusts of sheets...
Troubled intensely...
Through ploughed minds...
Some seeds germinate...
In restful eyes...
The night watches over...
Calmly blindfolded...
In husky soft smiles...
Amused at all glory...
Coloured patterns...
Again would adapt...
In morning light...
Shall again re-trap...
Some more breaths....
On those unharvested plans...
To sprinkle some more...
Of life's magic sand...

एक अक्षर ...

  सुनो... किसी दिन,  किसी मोड़ पे शायद तुम्हारा मेरा सामना हो ही गया तो क्या करोगे ? क्या मुझे पहचान पाओगे? या फिर अपनी धुन में चलते  रहोगे।  कुछ बातों के हज़ार मतलब होते हैं और कुछ  बातों का कोई मतलब नहीं होता। शायद हम इन मतलबों में ही उलझ के जीते रहेंगे। और फिर एक दिन एक दूसरे को  कोसेंगे कि मेरी बात का क्या मतलब निकालते रहे।  खैर, तुम्हे ये  एहसास ही नहीं कि कितनी दुआएं  मांगी हैं मैंने तुम्हारे इक दीदार के  लिए।  हिज्र की शब कई जन्मों तक बनी रहे, शायद यही तक़दीर हो. शायद मेरे हाथों में तुम्हारे नाम की लकीर तो हो पर टूटी फूटी।  इसलिए रोज़ हाथदेखती  हूँ... तुम्हारे नाम के अक्षरों को उनमें ढूंढ़ती हूँ।  मगर आज तक एक भी अक्षर नहीं  मिला।   image: www. pexels.com .

Dreams of Love

-
Image
You quietly peep into me, reading all my desires, the half opened window still waits...for you to jump down and chuckle at the stolen kiss that once you took wi th you...the unpainted thoughts remain blank at your mention and my brush blushes in anticipation of the crime my mind would have committed but.....all this is a mere imagination of those wild horses upon whose carriage my thoughts travel...far away with you in the woods...where the wet silt holds my wedges deeply as the first rain drops touch our faces....and I slap myself for the sin you have committed... taking over by thoughts like a storm...and leaving my head full of fairytales where am yours and you....mine!

What if I never get over you...

What if I never get over you... Love is as confusing as hating.... both consume enormous energy . The only thing that differs is the way we express them. After believing for a lifetime that a person can get over someone by hating, I understood that it's never possible.  Even though we move on... we move away from that love, we want to forget, we want never to go through the same again... But ... that person still holds the very spot in our heart, eventhough we ignore... looking through them like they dont exist but the truth is, love cannot be taken back... you cannot unlove them. Hating them is just a mask we put over our own emotions. A mechanism to cope up, to prevent from drowning in that sad wave that we are not with them... What if I dont get closure? There are no closures in love, only divorces in marriages but never closures. There is nothing called closures because we never agree on loving someone for a while... hearts dont work that way.  W
