Aishwarya Nair Nov 2015
Cold and dull mornings

spent wishing you were back here

in this bed again.
Aishwarya Nair Oct 2015
Your side of the bed
remains as cold as always.
Please make your way home.
Aishwarya Nair Dec 2015
Will you promise to
bring comfort to shaking hands?
You are all they need.
Aishwarya Nair Sep 2015
We have sacrificed
so much to be here today,
don't give up on us.
Aishwarya Nair Sep 2015
It's in the longing,
the waiting with bated breath,
that we find ourselves.
Aishwarya Nair Sep 2015
You are not broken
and I don’t need to fix you,
always remember.
Aishwarya Nair Sep 2015
I’ll never forget
the magic and elegance
I worshipped in you.
Aishwarya Nair Oct 2015
We find the music,
the magic, in the mundane,
if we look for it.
Aishwarya Nair Nov 2015
I'll never hurt you.
No matter the obstacles,
I’ll stay true to you.
Aishwarya Nair Oct 2015
Teach me forgiveness,
and do it while we make up
for time spent apart.
Aishwarya Nair Aug 2015
The bed will hold us,
as we rewrite our story;
make up for lost time.
Aishwarya Nair Aug 2015
I don't belong here.
I'd rather be next to you,
not feeling homesick.
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 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 Sep 2015
Your hands on my waist,
leading a familiar dance;
your grin matching mine.
Aishwarya Nair Sep 2015
I've no memory
from before the words began.
They were always there.
Aishwarya Nair Oct 2015
Speak to me simply,
trembling voice and shaky hands.
Speak, I will listen.
Aishwarya Nair Oct 2015
Teach me of patience
and let me bathe in your calm.
Breathe life into me.
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 Dec 2015
Can you feel me ache

each time you get up to leave?

Will you ever stay?
Aishwarya Nair Nov 2015
Burnt Thursday dinners,
rushed Monday morning breakfasts;
I want these with you.
Aishwarya Nair Nov 2015
I don’t want to spend

any more time by myself,

you can come home now.
Aishwarya Nair Aug 2015
We’re under these sheets,
unstirred by the rumbling skies,
tangled up in love.
Aishwarya Nair Nov 2015
The light will find us.
Of this, I am confident.
It will guide us home.
Aishwarya Nair Oct 2015
No matter how long
you take to wander back home,
I will wait for you.
Aishwarya Nair Sep 2015
There are parts of me
aching to be touched again,
but only by you.
Aishwarya Nair Oct 2015
We must not forget
to acknowledge the stillness
that lives around us.
Aishwarya Nair Sep 2015
Distance has nothing
on the indescribable
bond only we share.
Aishwarya Nair Oct 2015
We are the stories
we tell the children we meet.
We are the magic.
Aishwarya Nair Sep 2015
Love me in between
sentences we try to make
through our breathlessness.
Aishwarya Nair Nov 2015
The ache never stops.

It stays as a reminder

of the lack of you.
Aishwarya Nair Oct 2015
My lips find their way
to yours in silent slumber.
You sigh dreamily.
Aishwarya Nair Aug 2015
I saw you wearing

nothing but my favorite

smile in dreamy eyes.
Aishwarya Nair Sep 2015
These lonely bedsheets,
haunted by the reminders
of the love we made.
Aishwarya Nair Oct 2015
We fell back asleep,
tangled up in each other.
I found calm in you.
Aishwarya Nair Aug 2015
I love you, I do.
I have waited a lifetime
just to call you mine.
Aishwarya Nair Sep 2015
I heard you whisper,
over and over again,
“Will I be enough?”
Aishwarya Nair Dec 2015
We are more than here,
more than terror and chaos.
We are more than now.
Aishwarya Nair Oct 2015
Mornings in your arms,
not having to pull away,
like prayers answered.
Aishwarya Nair Nov 2015
Will you remind me
to be patient through it all?
Will you stay with me?
Aishwarya Nair Oct 2015
I remember you.
I remember the bright lights.
I remember us.
Aishwarya Nair Nov 2015
Without a warning
it got colder as night fell.
You pulled me closer.
Aishwarya Nair Aug 2015
Do you remember
the promises that you made?
Will you return home?
Aishwarya Nair Nov 2015
Did you find the light
in my dark, in my chaos?

Was it beautiful?
Aishwarya Nair Aug 2015
I am so restless
from chasing shadows of you.
Will this ever end?
Aishwarya Nair Sep 2015
I don’t care how far
I have to go, if you leave,
take me with you.
Aishwarya Nair Oct 2015
So many sunsets,
as unfinished memories,
spent watching alone.
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!
