I'm home
Rajinder Apr 2020
Opening and shutting
the balcony door,
I announce 'Honey, I am home'.

A dark girl in my dream
Rajinder Mar 2020
In my dream I see a dark girl
there is a window with a thin layer of dust
that obscures her face
inside the room there is the last light
of setting sun, the orange beam slitting the door
whispers a bronze sheen on her bare shoulder
outside it is dark, with no escape ladder
I wait on a moonless night
to watch her glow, she moves closer
out of focus, closer still, ah
the face fills the window glass,
that separates us. A breath imprint struggles
to escape the barrier - misty vapours
eatherise the faceless over my lips.

a sip

I drink 
your being 
in short sips.

Stories
Rajinder Apr 2020
All that's been told to us were stories.
All the stories were once real.
All we leave behind are stories.

Solitude
Rajinder Apr 2020
Casting spell on its subjects
the city unleashes arrogance
of its solitude.

Fairies

For no reason
the light blinks

Fairies are so unpredictable!

Insomnia
Rajinder Apr 2020
May be I slept.
May be I dreamt.
...
Dreams, like fantasies
are always private.
Fantasies induce insomnia
where dreams are invented.

Come, stand besides me and
etch a shadow from the past
of the sunrise we saw together.

हाल
Rajinder Feb 2020
हाल उनका पूछिए
कि अपना बताईये ,
वो ही पुराने ज़ख्म हैं 
क्यूँकर दिखाईये .
Rajinder Feb 2020
कौन लिपटा है ऐसे ही तुमसे आकर 

कुछ तो रिश्ता होगा 
पतंग और पेड़ का !!!
जड़ और उड़ान का 
डोर और डाल का 
पत्तों और झोल का 

कुछ तो रिश्ता होगा  ! 

कुछ तो इश्क़ होगा  
ऊँचे-ऊँचे उड़ने में  
कटने और जुड़ने में  
हवा से लिपटने में 
पाखियों से मिलने में। 

कुछ तो रिश्ता होगा 
पतंग और पेड़ का?

कौन लिपट रहता है ऐसे 
कौन हो रहता है तुम्हारा  
और बना लेता है 
अपनी ही डोर का फंदा।

 कुछ तो रिश्ता होगा  !!
