Aishwarya Nair Nov 2015
Cold and dull mornings

spent wishing you were back here

in this bed again.
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
The bed will hold us,
as we rewrite our story;
make up for lost time.
Aishwarya Nair Dec 2015
Can you feel me ache

each time you get up to leave?

Will you ever stay?
Aishwarya Nair Sep 2015
The heat will stay on
and I’ll always smell like home,
return anytime.
Aishwarya Nair Sep 2015
Your eyes follow me
as I turn to walk away,
these moments are home.
Aishwarya Nair Nov 2015
These empty houses
filled with wonted reminders
and ghosts of the past.
Aishwarya Nair Sep 2015
Laughter spilled across,
closing the space between us;
calm found us after.
Aishwarya Nair Oct 2015
Please just stay a while.
Just until the fog settles,
until calm finds us.
Aishwarya Nair Nov 2015
The light will find us.
Of this, I am confident.
It will guide us home.
Aishwarya Nair Oct 2015
We are the stories
we tell the children we meet.
We are the magic.
Aishwarya Nair Nov 2015
I want to go back

to when we were one atom

waiting to explode.
Aishwarya Nair Sep 2015
You are not broken
and I don’t need to fix you,
always remember.
Aishwarya Nair Oct 2015
Speak to me simply,
trembling voice and shaky hands.
Speak, I will listen.
Aishwarya Nair Nov 2015
I'll never hurt you.
No matter the obstacles,
I’ll stay true to you.
Aishwarya Nair Nov 2015
Will you remind me
to be patient through it all?
Will you stay with me?
Aishwarya Nair Sep 2015
Love me in between
sentences we try to make
through our breathlessness.
Aishwarya Nair Sep 2015
There are parts of me
aching to be touched again,
but only by you.
Aishwarya Nair Sep 2015
It's in the longing,
the waiting with bated breath,
that we find ourselves.
Aishwarya Nair Sep 2015
I’ve wrapped myself in
longing ever since you left.
Please just end this ache.
Aishwarya Nair Aug 2015
We’re under these sheets,
unstirred by the rumbling skies,
tangled up in love.
Aishwarya Nair Aug 2015
What of all this ache?
What of the promises made?
What of this silence?
Aishwarya Nair Oct 2015
No matter how long
you take to wander back home,
I will wait for you.
Aishwarya Nair Oct 2015
Your side of the bed
remains as cold as always.
Please make your way home.
Aishwarya Nair Sep 2015
I only ask for
your tender admiration.
I want nothing more.
Aishwarya Nair Oct 2015
I've always been yours.
Even if you don’t admit,
you’ve always been mine.
Aishwarya Nair Oct 2015
There is so much more
waiting to unfold for us.
Stay for the magic.
Aishwarya Nair Sep 2015
I've no memory
from before the words began.
They were always there.
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 Dec 2015
What of the silence

that threatens to consume me?

How do I brave it?
Aishwarya Nair Oct 2015
Teach me of patience
and let me bathe in your calm.
Breathe life into me.
Aishwarya Nair Nov 2015
Without a warning
it got colder as night fell.
You pulled me closer.
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 Oct 2015
Take me to your calm,

where this ache does not exist,

end this weariness.
Aishwarya Nair Nov 2015
You are so much more

than this longing and this ache.

You are art in form.
Aishwarya Nair Aug 2015
I know you’re aching,
I see the longing in you;
please don’t give up now.
Aishwarya Nair Dec 2015
Will you promise to
bring comfort to shaking hands?
You are all they need.
Aishwarya Nair Oct 2015
Mornings in your arms,
not having to pull away,
like prayers answered.
Aishwarya Nair Oct 2015
My lips find their way
to yours in silent slumber.
You sigh dreamily.
Aishwarya Nair Sep 2015
I have gentle arms
that were made for holding you
through the darkest nights.
Aishwarya Nair Nov 2015
Forgive these hands for

needing to hold you always.

They don’t know better.
Aishwarya Nair Aug 2015
How do you manage,
to make mountains on my skin,
to move me like this?
Aishwarya Nair Nov 2015
I think of your eyes
and the tales only they spin.
I think of your smile.
Aishwarya Nair Nov 2015
Soothe these weary bones,

make up for the lack of us,

hold me closer now.
Aishwarya Nair Oct 2015
We must not forget
to acknowledge the stillness
that lives around us.
Aishwarya Nair Oct 2015
Cut the sacred cold
and sail your embrace to me.
I miss your magic.
Aishwarya Nair Aug 2015
She seeks adventure,
awed by everything around;
I swear she’s magic.
Aishwarya Nair Sep 2015
We have sacrificed
so much to be here today,
don't give up on us.
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
I love you, I do.
I have waited a lifetime
just to call you mine.
