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...

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

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 .

That Pink LOVE-LETTER

                 Today was just another day. By 12 p.m. I had finished my daily chores,the maid left after doing her work, Husband to his office and kids to their schools. There was time for lunch so as usual I sat down to read some articles in a magazine.The curtains were obstructing the light, so I stood up to pull the curtains.Suddenly an envelope slid through the door.I thought maybe the postman would have slid it through, but I have never seen a pink envelope like that.                   I picked up the envelope.There was a shinny pink coloured letter in the pink envelope.I took it to the table and took my chair to read it.The card was addressed                                                                             " For U, My L ove" I thought may be this is some prank of my husband.Today was not my B'day or Valentine's Day or Wedding Anniversary.The other thought dwelled in that, may be, it is not for me. Somebody has sent it to me by mista
