A Mausoleum
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!

Today the sky's come down
Nandini Jul 2014
Today the sky's come down to touch me
Rainy hands it lays all o'er me
Let me then pray to the angels above the earth
Wash me pure for calmness to be

While clouds slyly sneak my plea above
Echoes thunder as the sky claps in approval
Let me then pray to the angels above the earth
Free my mind from the doubts's feudal

Blessed are the angels that came down to see
Why the sky cried on seeing the misery
Of dying hopes in the drought cast hearts
As they answer my plea of sweet victory

Yes! Today the sky's come down to touch me !!
A few lines inspired by the rain ....!
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 ;)

In and out lover!
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 !

Amnesia
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 .

Blackjack
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.

Be back love .. Before....
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 .....

The pen and the ink ...
Nandini Jul 2014
Tell me then ,
why they're fated together? The pen and the ink ?

The ink lies meek
With the pen it doth speak.
soaked in spirits powerful
Moulding mundane to artful.
That's why they're fated together !

Silent fingers woven around
Through the pen's lips my poetry's bound
Mere words nothing but mute
Breathes life my ink absolute.
That's  why they're fated together !
The pen and the ink are bound by each other to tell stories for times endless!

The perfect recipe!
Nandini Jul 2014
Spanish proverb " the belly rules the mind " ..
Let's start then..

Firstly you must have all the ingredients ready
Your mind ( as per you )
Imagination 50gms
Dreams 20 gms
Inspiration 30 gms
Feelings 100 gms

Now
Rinse your mind thoroughly
With universal calmness
And marinate with sanity

Next
Butter it up forever
With inspiration
Make sure it's lucid

Now again
Create a wrapping of feelings
Careful add the least hate
And let it heat in the oven of trials

That's enough not more than a lifetime
Very important the plating

Take a clean sheet of life
Lay it over carefully
garnish with your experiences
And I guess that's ready

THE PERFECT RECIPE!
Life isn't perfect ...we are created to shape it !

What is love ? (10w)
Nandini Jul 2014
A mere word
     moving worlds
      Powerful  essence  
         bonded by poetry.
What do you think ? What's love ???
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??

HP 3w to say !
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 :)

You cursed me to be a Poet
Nandini Jul 2014
While you chiseled a hole through my heart,
I was busy signing every breath in your name.
While you tenderly soaked me with kisses ,
I erotically drank of your poisoned love,
So you cursed me to be a poet .

Wait ,
but i nurtured your curse into a boon ,  my Goddess !
And I ornamented you with my finest poetry ,
My hypnotized heart made and remade the necklace of words,
You accepted and cursed me again in age after age .
You cursed me to be a poet .

Yes ! Yes , my dear in life after life ,
You bound my fingers by poetic strings,
I bled but I wrote , I wrote all the time ,
While you've been the puppeteer .
You cursed me to be a poet.

All this time ,
You burnt my love with acidic treachery ,
Robbing my feelings , like a well left dry ,
Words and words are all I have left ,
Because beloved you cursed me to be a poet !
But you know what ?
                                         I'M PROUD TO BE A POET !
Your curse darling has landed me on HELLO POETRY !
So .... Thank you !
So my fellow writers ... Be proud to be Poets! : )

Mistress.
Nandini Jul 2014
Brilliance of your face ,
the heavens in my palms ,
trembling I hold .

Dances of my tongue ,
staged on porcelain lining ,
the crescent of your back .

Your undraped frame ,
becoming the hourglass ,
balances the night and the day,
my gaze spellbound .

O Mistress of hearts ,
crimson love you set ablaze ,
while I be the match and you the flame.

Your eyes harbour storms reckless,
mist clad darkness soothingly descends.
Silence is the language speaketh two souls.
Nandini Jun 2014
My heart entwined into her  Kangna …
They whisper to each other ,
through their twinkling murmurs and giggles.
As her perfect slender arms ,
sway across the mystical winding of her hips,
They rhythmically dance to her pulse being the tune.

Anware of her presence lost into boyish laughter ,
shes  walking across me on sun parched streets,
Her Kangna summons me ,
and I wear my heart on my sleeve ,
My heart again entwined into her Kangna .

The sun has smeared the sky with crimson orange ,
I stand possessed by her kohl rimmed eyes,
and oh! she quickly lowers her gaze .
Every ray flirtingly kisses your Kangna goodbye,
as if to taunt me.

Its Friday filling my eyes with surma ,
I almost have bathed in athar comes the call  for prayer .
pulling my saafa onto my shoulders after prayer I leave.
I find her choosing mirrors for her choli in the bazaar.
She blushes pink on seeing me gaping at her awestruck,
and the boys teasingly cheer my name “Marauf!”
As she shifts her hair to the back of her ear ,
her Kangna cast their spell again..
And my heart's entwined into her Kangna.

I  once heard one of the mullahs saying,
"women are made of more jealousy than water"
i wonder thats true because as she walks to fetch water,
jealousy pours down in the womens eyes
for every mujnoon yearns for her glimpse.

Absently thinking you swirl your Kangna ,
the fragrance of your  skin mesmerizes them.
They know your secrets and unveil them to me,
through their delicate minakari embossed in their glitter.

i wait drowned in impatience ,
my eyes searching traces of you in the street,
when you tap me out of my search,
i feel myself melting away on your touch,
as again my heart's entwined into your Kangna forever i guess ?
Kangna : Bangle ,
Surma : kajal,
Athar : perfume
Saafa : Scarf
Mullah : a learned muslim person in arabic
Minakari : jewellery design

The blinding
Nandini Jun 2014
They slumber in the deepest of the minds,
they battle conquer lose even die as time unwinds
our lives their playground , its always been.
once they decided to hide and seek,
madness was counting while wanting to break free,
Lie hide like  it always  , behind  the  most beautiful tree.
love with no place to hide but a rose bush,
Everyone was caught except love hiding in ambush.
Envy revealed  loves hideout  to madness with jealousy,
madness jumped in and dragged love carelessly.
Fate blinded love as it lost its eyes to the thorns,
Now God  thundered a curse for madness to adorn.
That madness to be around  love till end of time ,
this  pushes me to wonder
maybe thats how loves called blind while madness always accompanies it !
My friend read this to me ..... ive laid it down in my words giving it a face of a story.

My heart , I've missed you.

Trampled , soiled with pain.

But tis bleeding away only to be with you ...

Let me tell you ...
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

Timeless "You"

Pages of my book ,

                         stained with your mirage,
                         As  your  memories  ,
                         fog  my  mind timelessly.
                        Thoughtful  slumber  rippled ,
                         with  just a touch.
                        Hold me closer and ...

Love can be timeless ,
Id never be busy enough , not to miss you....

As time cant be caged into an hour glass.
Only if you could confine the Noor of the light itself into a jar

Noor : meaning light itself.

Darkness of my Mind
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.

How you kept wounding me insidiously like a double edged sword ,

How like a diseased infection you for me brewed malice ,
       Inspite I kept infusing your venomous love into my every nerve and segment ...

BREAKFREE ....
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.

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 ?????

poisoning you .....
Nandini Mar 2014
Its clouded , the poison running through my blue black veins ......
          burning me like as if molten fire was poured into my veins ,
you made me the evil  i never wanted to be ,  i mastering it.
When the liquid pain from within rises to my eyes , i put on a mask ......
          to hide the scars that run deep ,very very deep indeed ,
the scars have been engraved , poison slumbers and rises in them .
The  pain inside is like a curse , so vicious , molten and drugginly venomous....
         i could poison the air i breathe in ,
it could even smoke you to death slithering into your perfect body.
love is the poison ..... i hate my hatred to luv it more than anythng .
