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

Image result for image for cutting 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...

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

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
