Cold and dull mornings

spent wishing you were back here

in this bed again.

I don’t want to spend

any more time by myself,

you can come home now.

Burnt Thursday dinners,
rushed Monday morning breakfasts;
I want these with you.
Aishwarya Nair Nov 2015
Forgive these hands for

needing to hold you always.

They don’t know better.

Will you remind me
to be patient through it all?
Will you stay with me?

I want to go back

to when we were one atom

waiting to explode.

What of the silence

that threatens to consume me?

How do I brave it?

Will you promise to
bring comfort to shaking hands?
You are all they need.

We are more than here,
more than terror and chaos.
We are more than now.

Can you feel me ache

each time you get up to leave?

Will you ever stay?

You are not broken
and I don’t need to fix you,
always remember.

Together we dance,
without a need for music;
this is our romance.

Your side of the bed
remains as cold as always.
Please make your way home.

Distance has nothing
on the indescribable
bond only we share.

We are the stories
we tell the children we meet.
We are the magic.

Without a warning
it got colder as night fell.
You pulled me closer.

There is so much more
waiting to unfold for us.
Stay for the magic.
Aishwarya Nair Sep 2015
I’ll never forget
the magic and elegance
I worshipped in you.

Your hands on my waist,
leading a familiar dance;
your grin matching mine.
Aishwarya Nair Oct 2015
Teach me forgiveness,
and do it while we make up
for time spent apart.

I remember you.
I remember the bright lights.
I remember us.
Aishwarya Nair Oct 2015
Love asks you to stay.
A while, the night, forever.
Love seeks adventure.

Cut the sacred cold
and sail your embrace to me.
I miss your magic.
Aishwarya Nair Aug 2015
What of all this ache?
What of the promises made?
What of this silence?
Aishwarya Nair Aug 2015
You’ve endured so much,
seen darkness and conquered it;
let me ease your ache.
Aishwarya Nair Aug 2015
I will give until
I have nothing left in me.
I was born to love.
Aishwarya Nair Sep 2015
With new found friendship
and stomach aching laughter,
we found our hearts full.
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 Aug 2015
These roads have grown old

from awaiting your return.

Please hurry back home.

I know you’re aching,
I see the longing in you;
please don’t give up now.

It was you I found
in the darkest hours of life.
It was always you.

These lonely bedsheets
are calling out to you now,
they're waiting for you.

Things will settle soon
and it won’t ache anymore.
It will be alright.
Aishwarya Nair Sep 2015
Love me in between
sentences we try to make
through our breathlessness.

I don’t care how far
I have to go, if you leave,
take me with you.
Aishwarya Nair Aug 2015
How do you manage,
to make mountains on my skin,
to move me like this?
Aishwarya Nair Sep 2015
With precise purpose
the wind messes up your hair,
finding calm in you.

Warm hands on warm cups,
a pleasant chill in the air;
mornings spent in love.

Bring to me longing
and watch me settle the ache
as I bring comfort.

She seeks adventure,
awed by everything around;
I swear she’s magic.
Aishwarya Nair Sep 2015
I am terrified
this heart will forget to beat
if you ever leave.
Aishwarya Nair Oct 2015
Please just stay a while.
Just until the fog settles,
until calm finds us.
Aishwarya Nair Sep 2015
I heard you whisper,
over and over again,
“Will I be enough?”
Aishwarya Nair Sep 2015
Kiss these ink stained hands
and I’ll kiss the scars on yours.
We’ll find light to chase.
Aishwarya Nair Aug 2015
Love is love is love.
Don’t ever let anyone
tell you otherwise.

These empty houses
filled with wonted reminders
and ghosts of the past.

The heat will stay on
and I’ll always smell like home,
return anytime.

I've no memory
from before the words began.
They were always there.
Aishwarya Nair Sep 2015
There are parts of me
aching to be touched again,
but only by you.
Aishwarya Nair Oct 2015
Mornings in your arms,
not having to pull away,
like prayers answered.
