You loved me like a flower
The ones you leave to die
Instead of loving me wild
You kept me locked inside
You let me slowly wilt
Until there was only a piece of who I was
And keeping something wild, locked
You should see what it does
If you meet a girl like me
I ask you to let her go
So you can see what happens
When you let a flower grow
And I didn’t get that choice
But I don’t blame it all on you
And I let you take me away
Because thought you were beautiful too
It is true that you broke me
But I still wish you well
And I hope I was beautiful
Before my petals fell…!

He is a nature guy,
Fish, cuts roses,
Spending his time,
Building houses

Or run a country,
Whatever you wish for,
He would survive anyway,
Such hindsight or fore?

Art is his religion,
He walks away alone,
In the mist,
But he is never on his own

Dance moves,
Empty living room,
I didn't write him,
To be blue

I wish I had met you before,
Now I think it's too late,
You know I had this problem,
Always with timing.
"Hindsight. It's like foresight without a future"-G.M.
तू गया

तू गया, गया संग, मेरे दिलका करार

तू गया, तो गए तुझ संग सब साजसिंगार

तू गया तो रूठे मुझसे मेरे गीत संगीत

यह तूने क्या किया, ओ मेरे मनमीत ???

जानेवाले के संग कोई जा नहीं सकता

मौत के साथ कोई लड़ नहीं सकता

इंसान भगवानके सामने हो जाता है मजबूर

लोक भी बदल जाते है; हो जाते है दूर

रोने के लिए अब कंधा भी नहीं मिलता

रिश्तेदार कतराते हैं; सच्चा रंग अब है खिलता

फितरत बदलने लगती है, अब हम लगते हैं बोझ

इतने सारे लोगों में, मिल जाते है एक दो दिलसोज़

यही है जमानेकी रीत, जिंदा रहनेवाला मरता है तिल तिल

बस अब यही है तुम्हारी नई मंज़िल

The consent for war
is constantly being manufactured
and simply fed to the sleeping masses…
War is not good for us
nor our societies…
We are all part of a collective,
the nature of divinity!
Love thy neighbors
is still the golden rule.
We are mere humans
and war is a drowning pool!

When emotions that needed to be
alive mixed with lifeless promise­s, 
the result was a massive let down.
Like the earth and the moon...
Who gravitate together...
Or like the night and the stars...
Who come and go together...
Or a bird and its shadow...
Flying together...
Or a rose and its petals...
Blooming together...
Or the morning and the mist...
Greeting the sunrise together...
There is no better friendship than that of a  mother and daughter...
A bond stronger than all the gravitational pull...
Or all the stars together...
It is an eternal bond...
All the rose petals together would not be enough to describe that bond...
But that is OK...
Mother and daughter are like a rose and a petal...
So Unique and special...
This is a tribute to two best friends...

If you feel
Ordinary
Just an ordinary

I highly recommend you
To meet
Your own Picasso
Or may be Leonardo
Or someone like them

They all are
Best in their class
To portray
Extraordinary
Out of you

There is something
Within you
That needs to shine

Acknowledge that
There: Alchemy

Silent whispers
Purple spoke to pink
Lavender winked
Somewhat convinced
Sugar red hibiscus
From his bed of green
Sprung into the conversation
With purple and pink
Yellow blush
Nine o clocks
Had to attend the briefing
By the sun
In his next meeting
The flowers seemed not to be in a rush
All, recently bloomed
They had moments enough  
To live
They tried to make the most of it
Under the rays of the sun
Flowers 🌸 🔆🌿🌿

Child,
Why did no one
eve teach you
that you cannot
turn people
into homes?

People are rivers,
ever changing,
ever flowing.
They will disappear with
everything you put
inside them.

Still,
your home does
have a heartbeat.
But it isn’t one
locked in
anyone else’s
chest.

Just
look inside
your own!
