Kaafiya Milaao's prompt : It takes much time to kill a tree...

It takes much time to kill a tree,
To forget the shade once you sat in,
And pull out each leaf.
It takes much time to kill a tree,
To forget the fruits once relished...
And cut each branch
It takes much time to kill a tree
To collect all memories
Untying those ropes from the swing
It takes much time to kill a tree
To ward off the laughter
To forget the tears you once shared with.
It takes much time to kill a tree
To shake off those hiding moments
In the game of hide and seek
It takes much time to kill a tree
To forget that hearts you made
With initials of your crush within.
It takes much time to kill a tree
Upon whose branches rested a nest
Chirping birds in the season green
It takes much time to kill a tree
Under which you dug a pit
And hid those letters of love disease.
It takes much time to kill a tree
Who was your confidant
In whom you felt safe with secrets deep.
It takes much time to kill a tree
Who was your companion once
Who today looks at you with grief.
It takes much time to kill a tree
It should...
For in it you'll kill everything you had...
Moments....unforgettable...

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

On the brink of being vulnerable...

How slow we made it...to this. Slowly hearing out our hearts, our sore wounds that would always ache like hell. We comforted each other only to leave back our skins that no longer served us.  Do you really think we have to be this vulnerable? I get scared at the mention of it. May be I dont know how to or may be my walls are so thick that I cannot break them.  Each day I have cemented one more layer over them. Now it seems more like a grave enclosing me in, than my fortress. Do you think this is needed? The last wall to be thrashed to feel what vulnerability is?  I get scared that my armour would be destroyed, hurting me more... exposing me to something I might not be able to protect myself from. But some days.... I want to break down...show the real me to you and tell you yes it hurts to miss you... to love you because I can live, knowing that it's safe to love you from a distance than to find myself crumbling under your stare....than to say that it's all a

Har kisi ko.....

      हर किसी को खुद की तलाश है इस भीड़ में ,        हम समझे हम ही चले हैं अकेले घर से।     जब देखा भीड़ में हम भी हैं शामिल, तो लगा क्या अलग है मुझमें और इस भीड़ में। मैं चला तो था मैं  बन के , मगर क्या रह पाऊंगा वही इस भीड़ में।        ख़ुशी मिलेगी या जीत का सवाल होगा ,      मेरे अपने पूछेंगे तो क्या हाल होगा।      वो मासूमियत ,वो सच्चाई कहाँ छोड़ आया?      आज ये झूठों का लिबास क्यों ओढ़  आया? जब तक है जीना ,अब ये सोचना है, वो सपने थे या ज़ंजीरें थी ज़मीर की। अब तोड़ के उनको, जो आकाश में उड़ रहा हूँ मैं , कितना अच्छा होता इतना आज़ाद न हुआ होता मैं। वो बचपन, वो माँ की  डाँट  कितनी प्यारी थी , वो बहन का चिढ़ना ,वो मेरा लड़ना कितना अच्छा था। आज मासूमियत तो कहीं खो गयी है हर ओर ठग से घुमते हैं।                                कोई भरोसा नहीं करता किसी पे और किसी पे मुझको भरोसा होता नहीं …।
