If smoking kills , then you be the nicotine !
Nandini Jul 2014
Twilight unfolds
In your eyes
Dark layers
holding  abysses infinite .
I love those eyes holding satan's dark abyss
Nandini Jul 2014
When you read them you said words were dead
Only mausoleums could be created of them
You spoke the same tongue " words"
And yes you were right ! your words
entombed my living heart but in your love

But these same words archived hope
Only the true seeker could find
What if they created mausoleums ?
I marbled them
with the turquoise white of my tears

Intricately chiseled with love's essence
Only sunlight could ride with the breeze
Into its minarets laid around you , my life confined
As now you slumber in the deep of afterlife
Under the canopy of the crescent moon

Yes I created a mausoleum
A mausoleum of undying love
A mausoleum that crowns you
A mausoleum I called "Taj"*

Few lines I wrote reminiscing the Taj Mahal!
What an example of boundless love ..love beyond life!
Nandini Jul 2014
Your heart brought with Amnesia.
To study it ,
I slid into your heart ,
making way through your tears
it was dark.
Placing a candle at the grave of your sorrows,
I stitched up your battered ,bleeding heart.
Tendering to the grave turned gardens,
I smuggled sunlight to your dandelion soul.
Drugging you 3 times daily with comfort,
was what I prescribed.
Nothing stays forever , so didn't your illness
and you don't remember me any-longer.
Happy laughter of love echoed ,
in the skies of your fist sized heart.
Wished you a healthy heart ahead,
only with the desire to treat it again .
Nandini Jul 2014
Come we'll attach a string onto your memories
And put them as lanterns , onto the emerald trees

Inflammable spark like magic is to thrive
Watch then , how the mind's luminosity comes alive

From shade lit afternoons laying blankets beneath the oak
Until ,the moon sprinkles ethereal stardust for us to soak

Let's pen down soul's poetry , to bring back lost hope
While the fireflies make light within the lantern's envelope

There's a calling in those verses ,to rekindle the broken bond
Sharing their poetry on paper boats ,two friends across the pond .

Arising to leave , unkept promises they vow to keep
To meet again , when the sun embraces the other side with a leap.
For all my friends !!! Lost and found ;)
Nandini Aug 2014
Let me know when your at the sea ,
And we will hold hands together
When the waves try to get to you
I'll absorb them into my chest
While you protect yourself behind me .

Let our lips whisper underwater
The ripples our messengers
Take our stories to the other ends
Sweetheart there's a world beneath
Where the sun sleeps in the oceans' cradle

At sea there is a calmness I tell you
Where the haziness of the heart
Will flow away
When we leave our footprints on the sands
The sea carries them away
And frames them for the creatures to see
That yes !there are some stories written on her ***** forever to be
The seas and Oceans are path less woods , that hide wonders ... Just the perfect place to let love have its way
Nandini Jul 2014
Youve been my most impossible possibility
Jeopardy of my accused love

You've been etched into my palm lines
But lost on the crossroads of dilemma

You've been whispering in steamed voices from my coffee
Just to be an unknown visibility

Love ,
Just be back before today settles
As forever into my wrinkles

Before I lay into satan's darkest cloak
Be back love ,
before the stars tear away
from the skies of my eyes.
Just be back .....

Love is a masked demon...
Sacrifice is one of its faces!
Nandini Jul 2014
today words don't play
the hearts game .
feelings my ace
to play blackjack..
they say words
and words are all the same
you gambled
I'm dealing my broken heart

playing a Switch
you emptied my hand
foolish ! merely did I
trusting my cards
that's how you won
leaving the game bland
you gambled
making me your trump card .
Ah! I remember you played
a
Blackjack
Blackjack the player must compete with the dealer .
life's not a game , loves not a card.
just thought of the game and penned it.
Nandini Apr 2014
Seeping through the crack,
The light , blinded by my dark captor
******* , yearning for you.
Nandini Apr 2015
In the heart of blue mountains
lies a star,
robbed of starlight.
Rises he with the faintest spark
between suns and moons,
he will be bright.
In pristine blue dwells he.
Stand before the sun comes,
beyond the horizons, he will be seen
In the heart of the blue mountains.
So many stars lost in infinity ....

I borrowed wings ,
from the very wild wind..an unknown breeze.
im on adventures runway
taking off !!!
few lines i wrote while on my flight to Kashmir... before the flood ...dated 28/8/14'
Nandini Mar 2014
Words impossible to pen down ,
let go like a loose electric wire .
Mixed lines , confused verbiages ,
unsettled like random mosaics.
Composure of the birds disrupted ,
like ripples in the calm water .
Running with my life onto my palms ,
over to topple .. gasping to breakfree.
Lost identities , scars of the past rooted deeper.
I want to run , walk , fall but not stop ,
i want to caravan the world , conquer speed.
I dont want to be tagged intelligent ,
to meet the social benchmarks .
I want to set myself loose , breakfree cross boundaries,
i want to be a ROGUE NINJA.
I want to let the untamed breeze fill my hair ,
I want to live ....
Theres no point penning down your thoughts with perfected adjectives..
    JUST BREAKFREE.
Nandini Apr 2014
Wanting to rip your throat out ,
To drink of your bleeding heart ,
Kissing you at the same time ...
Darling my love s cannibalistic .
I love you to an extent with the intent to **** .... ****** love
Nandini Aug 2014
Threaded textures of mystified love
Garbed time in silkened  cocoons
Love held time ...slipped from the cocoon on beautified wings
Nandini Aug 2014
In the frost garbed winter all I could notice was her
While delicately she let the tea fall into the cup
Her spell binding beauty magically won me over

Roaring oceans in her eyes
The sun bathes in them to
Birth dawns to embellish her skies
I noticed over the cup of tea

Spring sprouted alive in her smile
Fuchsia gave away on her cheeks
She tames seasons in her own style
I noticed over another cup of tea

Winds matted her hair with wild lilies
Her every step like favours on carpeted heavens
She commanded every breath in the stone alleys
I noticed over the cups of tea*....
I guess tea is not a bad idea !!
Nandini Mar 2015
Arc of light that lit your tears,
couldn't  lighten the darkest of your eyes.

Last night it shone in the skies,
the same arc with the purest light.

My riddled mind failed to read,
the arc was nothing but the moon itself,

because darker than the skies ,
he found your eyes with darkest skies
Was just thinking could the moon be captured into a tear ... maybe !!!

Nandini Apr 2014
Through my lungs to my heart , smoked you like a volatile joint ,
Your love proposition , holding my impotent life at gunpoint.
As you embroided my life with lacerate scars of pain and deceit,
Which I merely clothed myself hemming my love pleat by pleat .
Stripping me down you flung me like half smoked cigarette ****,
That’s when I knew you created that crater deep till my gut
                                 But life is a drama backstaged with chances,
Once again it would rain on you a downpour of judgement,
Then ill be the sky to judge with a turbulent temperament.
I want the thunder to clap in approval and gain ,
The darkness to blanket my self inflicted pain .

But again you breathe I love you into the air …and I melt my life once again before you  .. because   simply I love you.
any feedback .... ???
Nandini Aug 2014
Why have you journeyed
yourself to mans ways ?
Paying prices to live
amidst the world you say

From the brightest light
are born the darkest shadows
Why not then let life take hawklike glides
into verdant meadows

A tiny root could lay a crack
into the most solid rock
Then why not be YOU
into the double dealing world  you flock ?

Don't you know you have masked
yourself to life's essence
She awaits like a helpless mother
longing for your presence

Be there in time before
life's innocence is all lost
Though it's late never
but it all comes with a cost
It's not important how long we lived .... But it's important how did we live .... Or we lived not ?
Nandini Jul 2014
State of celestial journey
Soul returns to oneness
With the universel power
Just a random write ... Before I could wander into sleep.
Nandini Oct 2014
You eclipsed me like my moons,
In melted darkness I lie.
Suns gave away sheer,
My  lights gold you stole,
In Satined darkness,
your eclipse holds.

You eclipsed me like my moons,
Silver love you shined.
Cold whispers on curtains lingered,
Dusk you bring unto my eyes,
Here you eclipse,
in silence I sigh!

You eclipsed me like my moons,
I smell lilies bloom on my sheets.
Lifting the eclipse you,
You rise to leave,
Promising new suns you would,
again set in my eyes....

You eclipsed me like my moons*....
Spending thousand suns and moons ,
Lay worthless to your one sight!
Nandini Apr 2014
The hollow in your eyes,
hazelnut radiance in the dark,
burnt with wait for the glimpse of the starlight.
the hollow within the eyes cant ever be measured...those deep glistening pools  i want to dive deep and drink of it.
Nandini Aug 2014
Reality masters many faces
Which mask do you wear ??
Nandini Aug 2014
I want to fight till the end
Till I'm destroyed
My hopes would die
When the words and poetry wither
away from my books
Like the tree loses it's leaves ....
Here's where my mind and my heart  argue miserably ...
Nandini Aug 2014
Once I saw fire in the moon
On the raw night bout to ripen
As she sits on the great walls of night
Singing lullabies to the worldly kin
As I said I saw the fire
A ruby that rested in pride on her *****
As she wore the star lights midnight robe
Once I saw fire in the moon
How would the moon look ?
Nandini Aug 2014
First love,
silky tenderness you bowed to, pure as a dove
First poem,
magically words aligned to your pen's motion
First hard earned penny,
like you earned a billion dollars unlike any
First friend,
person to know your mad secrets in the end
First diary,
your naive self writing away with merry
First date,
been awake entire night only to be late
First kiss** ,
never knew how but flowed with the bliss
First success,
happiness you bottled that came in excess
First marriage ,
adrenaline rush held in the veins with courage
First mistake ,
life's lesson to which you didn't awake
First heartbreak ,
memories and tears coiled you like the snake
First pain ,
the need to be strong for any gain
First you,
lost innocence learning lessons to live a new
Many more things I'm sure you want to recollect .... Just few things I list
Nandini Apr 2014
Can you tell me how to forget you....
When your cast in my breath like a curse... **** love ...**** you
Nandini Jul 2014
I write poetry in my eyes
Gazing up at the stars
For you to read
For you I write...
Nandini Mar 2015
Yet he slumbers
In the unborn air

O'er the snow mountains
Where he gazes upon heavens

Sleeps the universe
With his half eyed gaze

Trance he brings
Rattling drums with **** and ashes

Rhythmic dance resonates
Between the infinite and finite

The hooded serpent is the charmer
Still in his masters matted locks
Where the Ganga flows in icy waters

Futile attempts have made many
To awaken the hermit
Slumbering in conscious infinity

He is the god
Whom the goddess shall awaken

Names he has many

Holding the poison blue in his throat
He's called Neelkantha

The angry God he becomes Rudra

In worldly affairs he assumes
The title Shankara

He's the God whom the Goddess shall awaken
He is Shiva
Nandini Apr 2014
Whispers embossed onto the wings of the untamed breeze,
Oh! This silent murmurrimg of the rain , trying to read my cloaked secrets.
Nandini Aug 2014
Secrets
hide the day and night in turns
Come like the wind
Break your towering memories in me
How many secrets can be hidden calling them memories
Nandini Jul 2014
Always holding a pen even when I don't know what to write
It's like a habit now I guess more of an addiction
Some call me crazy while others admire and some ? ...never mind !
But yes maybe for a person who writes it's like
A whiff of fresh air ,
Like the first snow of the season
Like the chirping of the birds  or maybe falling in love once again !
I write about pain , love , eyes and everything you want to imagine .
Many a times me and my coffee are best company ,
We sometimes come up with the best lines .
Ha! But I got adopted recently , mamma HP did .
Few know me , few follow while I follow many every where
We share , we like and best part ?
Yeah right we inspire each other ...!!
I'm kinda the new kid on the block .. ;)
I guess I'll stick around a bit longer
So to say it in 3w

  LOVE YOU HP!!
Thank you HP ! I love this site , you've given me new hope and been my mamma all the while ... I can say it the way I want ... Just to you !
I love the family :)
Nandini Apr 2014
If i could in every life ( it is said there are 7 ),
could touch your heart ,
my soul would connect with you somehow ,
even if only for a moment.

In our unborn tomorrow's ... i would still love you .
i found a torn piece of an old diary in one of my cupboards and these lines took away my breath for a moment.!!!
Nandini Jul 2014
If someday the world is turned upside down !
Would you care
To be my companion ?

The sky will be an endless pool,
We'll dive into the blue and drink of it.
I'll plant a tree at its shore ,
A tree of our hopes,
Watered with our deepest desires.
I'll tie a swing of our dreams on its branches,
And we'll soar higher into heavens.

If someday the world is turned upside down ,
Would you care
To be my companion ?

We'll kiss the suns sprouting ray
of crimson hue,
And the moon would sing us
Sweet lullabies by night
Trust me ! We'll ride the winged breeze
And write our adventures on earth's *****.

If someday the world is turned upside down ,
Would you care
To be my companion ?
Would you ?
When Life is all about possibilities .... Why be the one to make it impossible??
Nandini Apr 2014
Sometimes I wonder what went wrong
The pain of being alone keeps haunting
Was it destiny that created the crater in my life ?
People call it choices I guess ...
People write about ...
Pain
Being unwanted
Lonely
Depression
Trauma
Love
***
Happiness
But I Knw I'm a lost cause gasping on mortality ...
Signing off .... Ciao
Nandini Jan 2014
I try to blur my mind wid smoke
So dat your memories don't cast their shadows again
I'm inking all of dis down wid the blue nd black pain
As it gushes through my veins like adrenaline rush
I listen to the music we used to submerge into...
but tht brings back the painstaking turbulence within...
Through liquid tears filling the brim of my eyes
.... But
But the truth is the world robbed both of us of each other .....
And now dat I'm dead on the inside my pain is incarcerated within ...
Everyday wid every drag I stab u living inside me ,
Now tht you've left me all alone .. bleeding
Coz you've done dis ....
You hve to breathe widout me if dats Wat brings u happiness ...
I have to let you go ...Coz I love you ,
Coz ....
My heart says love him ,
My mind says hate him ...but they both wish I had him .... I'll always luv you
It's just dat uve lost the best thing in life ...ur brain has accepted it but the heart denies every feeling of losing u ....
Nandini Jan 2014
If I skip a heartbeat .. I would end up dead
You're tht one heartbeat I neva wanna skip.

I keep waiting for you , thinking about you
When the sun has painted the sky in pale tint of orange
Though I'm stuck in dis time lapse... I cud skip a heartbeat for you ...

Destiny conspired against us .. to separate us forever
Miles and miles I have walked ...searching for you
Evry thudder of my heart echoes wid your memories ...Coz I cud skip a heartbeat for you ....

I loved you to the point of zenith nd the pain as well tht you gave me
I hope to tranquil this pain of mine ..hence I cud skip a heartbeat for you ...

I'll always be waiting for you , coz hope is the only rule tht the human race has thrived on
Our destinies will collide again , once again the universe would conspire for you to be mine ...
and that day again ...I promise I'll skip a heartbeat for you ....
Nandini Apr 2014
Often wondering did I fall for someone like you ??
                  I wonder ....

How I coudnt read through that perfect mask of devilry ,
       that was laced with impregnable tenderness and chivalry .
                  I wonder ....

How you kept wounding me insidiously like a double edged sword ,
       I not knowing countless pieces of me shattered for the record .
                  I wonder ....

How like a diseased infection you for me brewed malice ,
       Inspite I kept infusing your venomous love into my every nerve and segment ...
           Coz baby " your love is my drug "
                   I'm ADDICTED TO YOU .
NONE escaped the malice called love .. its the world's best drug to be addicted to .... Don't u agree ??
Nandini Jul 2014
Your hands stained
with my blood ...
Immortality becomes
my soul
Can **** a human not a soul ...
That's how poetry is !
Nandini Jul 2014
Only mockingly mimicking me , sitting across the glass
Though dark I'm born from light! , on looking he whispers alas!
He boasts his love's as deep as his colour
Like beggar on knees , he pleads with her
To let be ever present , to be around me
Crafty light absorbed in sneaking only to see
Oblivious to my chary black eyes , Yes! she lets him
" shadow " he's called makes way from within.
I'm wondering why my shadow is madly in love with me
he's possessive ...he's always around !
Nandini Apr 2014
Hold my hand and come over though dark,
I promise I could flame myself to light up your path.
I just could simply die for you my lover .
Nandini Oct 2014
I drink you with my eyes ,
You run into my veins ,
Like adrenaline rush .
My thoughts are louder ,
I whisper to my heart...hush!

I see you ,
Like fresh perfume,
You linger in my breath .
You finally appear here,
On my paper until death...

I see you*.
I hold you in my eyes though I can't be with you ...
Nandini Mar 2014
Its 11 pm , my body quivers as your holding my hand to your room ,
the empty air in there ... enchanted with your perfume .
ive dressed the best i could , i inhale deep so that you could slip deep into my mind and kiss me all ova , (theres a tiny giggle in the throat ).
im suddenly shaken outta my thoughtful slumber to realize that youve ****** in my lips holding them in a deep wet kiss.....
though i pulled back unwantedly , ive harboured this habit of returning favours ....
So i entwine my tongue wid yours , you moving deeper and deeperas i grip your hair.
you look at my bare body wid lust as if to find a treasure,
cupping them gently youve learnt the art to mould  them as you wish.
No sooner i realize youre breathing hot and smearing me with kisses while suddenly you ****** deeper...
the empty hollow inside my heart feels like it was neva there,
Ive spread wide again aligning myself to yours as a composed and sensous smile dances on your as well as my lips ...
an assuring serenity youve bought me ... always ..as i only desire to lie beneath ur warm chest ...
i dint knw how to end it .... any feedback ?????
Nandini Apr 2015
I want to dance, the dance
Of raindrops
Cavernous steps I'd put along,
in smoked hues of grey,
in clouded cotton.

Melting suns sublimed
o'er dew dropped leaves.
Romantic ballads
on every poets page,
passionate rain and fiery sun staged.

I want to dance, the dance
Of raindrops
While you play harmony,
on the harp.
Once like the wind played,
in my chestnut hair.
The tiptoe of the rain,
bringing childhood memories
of fresh mud alive.

I want to dance, the dance
Of raindrops
The solo they perform in cackles,
of the child nextdoor.
I remember the parched streets,
the thirst song of the kuckoo,
lips dry without you my love.

Oh! How I wish,
I could dance, the dance,
the raindrops danced.
To quench that thirst of rhythm,
My beloved I want to dance.
Dancing in the rain to quench the souls thirst ,
a drop of peace everywhere!!
Nandini Apr 2014
Those moments in your arms,
that birthed eternity,
of our fragile love.
Oh! how i want to niche myself ,
deeper into your chest.

As we laid beneath the moonlit skies,
soaking the descending silver stardust,
your hands woven into mine , faithfully,
come then let me spin my life into yours.

As your chestnut eyes gaze the infinite heavens,
let me tell you then,
i want to carry the galaxies over,
all of them , aligning in your eyes.

All those rains we shared,
my soul drenched ,
my wounds cleansed.
You became my flawless sanity.

Now that you breathe,
life on my lips.
"What am i to you ?" you riddled me ,
Let me tell you then,
you're my ink , pure and absolute,
you are  closer to me than my jugular vein.
Falling in love is the ring of fire your into , its self ignited.
"In love people enshrine into each others hearts
to dwell as one soul...."  - Atharva Veda 7.36
Nandini May 2015
When your palms melted into mine
I etched new lines
Leaving behind every sign
While distances grew in the darkest light
Look for the signs like secret written on lighted windows
It would  be so easy if we could write our secrets on each other's palms
Nandini Oct 2014
love is most healing
Until it's not lust
Nandini Mar 2015
The pen has swallowed death,
needs magic to breath life into words.
The night sky holds the hidden,
so is poetry to ink...
hope the stars twinkle again ,
to send some magic mingled with the rain*....
writing after a long time feels like the magic is lost ... hope i get it back on HP again....*smiles*!!!
Nandini Apr 2014
Oh you're beauty a raging flame,
           Set ablaze.....
Sets me to sing the Malhar Rag to bring down the rains .
Malhar Rag : Old raga in Indian classical music capable of starting rains.
