Aishwarya Nair Nov 2015
Cold and dull mornings

spent wishing you were back here

in this bed again.
Aishwarya Nair Oct 2015
Love asks you to stay.
A while, the night, forever.
Love seeks adventure.
Aishwarya Nair Sep 2015
With new found friendship
and stomach aching laughter,
we found our hearts full.
Aishwarya Nair Aug 2015
We’re under these sheets,
unstirred by the rumbling skies,
tangled up in love.
Aishwarya Nair Dec 2015
What of the silence

that threatens to consume me?

How do I brave it?
Aishwarya Nair Oct 2015
We fell back asleep,
tangled up in each other.
I found calm in you.
Aishwarya Nair Nov 2015
I don’t want to spend

any more time by myself,

you can come home now.
Aishwarya Nair Oct 2015
Cut the sacred cold
and sail your embrace to me.
I miss your magic.
Aishwarya Nair Nov 2015
Burnt Thursday dinners,
rushed Monday morning breakfasts;
I want these with you.
Aishwarya Nair Nov 2015
The light will find us.
Of this, I am confident.
It will guide us home.
Aishwarya Nair Aug 2015
What of all this ache?
What of the promises made?
What of this silence?
Aishwarya Nair Oct 2015
Bring to me longing
and watch me settle the ache
as I bring comfort.
Aishwarya Nair Aug 2015
I promise I'll learn
to be patient, to be calm.
I won't let you down.
Aishwarya Nair Aug 2015
It was you I found
in the darkest hours of life.
It was always you.
Aishwarya Nair Sep 2015
I am terrified
this heart will forget to beat
if you ever leave.
Aishwarya Nair Aug 2015
Things will settle soon
and it won’t ache anymore.
It will be alright.
Aishwarya Nair Oct 2015
There is so much more
waiting to unfold for us.
Stay for the magic.
Aishwarya Nair Oct 2015
So many sunsets,
as unfinished memories,
spent watching alone.
Aishwarya Nair Oct 2015
Please just stay a while.
Just until the fog settles,
until calm finds us.
Aishwarya Nair Oct 2015
I will wait right here,
for entire eternity,
to hold you again.
Aishwarya Nair Aug 2015
Wrapped in exhaustion,
I rolled over to your side;
I swore I felt you.
Aishwarya Nair Aug 2015
You’ve endured so much,
seen darkness and conquered it;
let me ease your ache.
Aishwarya Nair Oct 2015
Mornings in your arms,
not having to pull away,
like prayers answered.
Aishwarya Nair Sep 2015
I've no memory
from before the words began.
They were always there.
Aishwarya Nair Oct 2015
No matter how long
you take to wander back home,
I will wait for you.
Aishwarya Nair Oct 2015
The warmth doesn’t linger
without you to cut the cold.
Please bring back comfort.
Aishwarya Nair Sep 2015
Will we still be us
when all of this is over?
Will you still be here?
Aishwarya Nair Oct 2015
I’m always looking
for your face in crowded streets,
hoping our paths cross.
Aishwarya Nair Oct 2015
Without thinking twice
you saved me from the soundless
I was headed for.
Aishwarya Nair Aug 2015
I will give until
I have nothing left in me.
I was born to love.
Aishwarya Nair Sep 2015
I’ll never forget
the magic and elegance
I worshipped in you.
Aishwarya Nair Nov 2015
The ache never stops.

It stays as a reminder

of the lack of you.
Aishwarya Nair Aug 2015
These roads have grown old

from awaiting your return.

Please hurry back home.
Aishwarya Nair Sep 2015
Too often we think
our story doesn’t matter,
too often we’re wrong.
I wrote this haiku on the last day of the World Suicide Prevention Week ‘15. We cannot let this movement stop here. If you (or someone you know) are struggling, please reach out. Get help. Know that you are not alone. Know that there is hope.
Aishwarya Nair Nov 2015
Was I everything

you imagined I would be?

Does it still matter?
Aishwarya Nair Nov 2015
I think of your eyes
and the tales only they spin.
I think of your smile.
Aishwarya Nair Aug 2015
I know you’re aching,
I see the longing in you;
please don’t give up now.
Aishwarya Nair Oct 2015
Take me to your calm,

where this ache does not exist,

end this weariness.
Aishwarya Nair Oct 2015
How do I thank you,
for the love you've given me,
for the laughs and smiles?
Aishwarya Nair Aug 2015
Love is love is love.
Don’t ever let anyone
tell you otherwise.
Aishwarya Nair Sep 2015
We have sacrificed
so much to be here today,
don't give up on us.
Aishwarya Nair Nov 2015
These empty houses
filled with wonted reminders
and ghosts of the past.
Aishwarya Nair Aug 2015
Today is the day,
you marry your beloved,
forever begins.
I wrote this haiku in honor of my best friend marrying her best friend. Congratulations, Sara and Aamir. I wish you both a lifetime of happiness!
Aishwarya Nair Sep 2015
With precise purpose
the wind messes up your hair,
finding calm in you.
Aishwarya Nair Oct 2015
My lips find their way
to yours in silent slumber.
You sigh dreamily.
Aishwarya Nair Sep 2015
There are parts of me
aching to be touched again,
but only by you.
Aishwarya Nair Sep 2015
I only ask for
your tender admiration.
I want nothing more.
Aishwarya Nair Oct 2015
Your side of the bed
remains as cold as always.
Please make your way home.
Aishwarya Nair Sep 2015
These lonely bedsheets,
haunted by the reminders
of the love we made.
Aishwarya Nair Nov 2015
Did you find the light
in my dark, in my chaos?

Was it beautiful?
