Restless nights
inner fights
The past haunts
loneliness taunts.
Behind the doors
for not the world to see...

Weeping sorrows
praying for better tomorrows
This soft place of him
only few get in.
Behind his smile
for not her to see...

Tough and strong
he may be wrong
Capable of all bad deeds
yet, the love he needs.
Inside the cocoon
not the light to reach...

Inner self cries
So many whys???
Killed by avoidance
waiting for the chance.
Behind the wall of ego
for not her to reach...

And he cries
for not her to reach...

And he cries
for not her to reach...
Men do cry...
Their softer side is perceived by few...
Interaction with a young man coping with a pain of bitter heartbreak, made me write this. Hope he recovers soon.

Before I started draining parts of me
onto this page
I couldn't see for the clearest of paths,
I would dwell,
Hide away in my own safe house
Of saturated stories.

I would scratch my head catching gravity
between my fingertips.
A color would be a rainbow in black skies
of circling crows.

The floor around me would move
dancing along,
It would lead me and my pen to paper
Like a knight's sword to stone.
I would wonder why my mind
Could paint,
My thoughts would explode
into millions of fireflies.

Sometimes I would see the most
flawless imagery
But I couldn't write it down for the awe
of being lost,
Inside my own world of untold stories,
and poetry.
For the times I don't get chance to write down my thoughts!

Come soon
Oh dear moon
Be with me in my blue
A friend who is always true
Someone who does not judge
Makes me feel top of the world
Who is always bright shining light
Whose colors never fad to light
Be my rainbow after the rain
Colors my life red again
I am waiting
For you

तोड़कर रिवाजों को, थाम लें परवाज़ों को,
चलो संग आज़ाद हो जाएँ,
ओ मेरे चाँद! तुम और मैं!

छोड़कर क़ाफ़िलों को, बढ़ चलें मंज़िलों को,
चलो संग आबाद हो जाएँ,
ओ मेरे चाँद! तुम और मैं!

चीरकर ये मायूसी, तन्हाई और बेबसी,
चलो संग बर्बाद हो जाएँ,
ओ मेरे चाँद! तुम और मैं!

Todkar riwazon ko tham le parwazon ko,
Chalo sang azad ** jaye,
Mere chand! Tum aur mai!

Chhodkar kafilon ko, sang badhen manzilo ko,
Chalo sang abad ** jaye,
Mere chand! Tum aur mai!

Chirkar ye mayusi, tanhai aur bebasi,
Chalo sang barbad ** jaye,
Mere chand! Tum aur mai!

Catching teardrops
In my brand new cup
Hoping that it will stop
So here I am lifting my head up

Do you find it satisfying?
Watching innocent people dying?
Do you find it amazing?
When people dies in bombing?

The world isn't cruel
It is the people!
Life is not a battle
Don't treat it as a duel!

Here I am closing my eyes
Silently praying for those who die
Curiously asking Him why
I know He's listening up high

A wonderland we once knew
Is now a dark color hue
But He's watching you
He knows what do
What's happening to people? Humans, yes but humanity? No.

Inside storm touches the brim,
When you pull my arm,
And and and hold me close...
What a sweet pain
Unbearable
But but but adorable....
When you say,
You love me more than ever,
I melt like like like an avalanche...
When you call and just ask my whereabouts
The heart feels at the top of the heaven...
When you just come in and you hold me close and just calm me with your light quick kiss...
I melt like an ice cream....
How long i will hold my anger
Come and melt me like lava...
Silence me with your lips...
Enclose me within....
Let me flow
Let me unwind
Let me merge with you forever

Hey Siri,
Which suits me better - the red, or the blue?

Hey Siri,
Where did I leave my keys?

Hey Siri,
Why doesn't she love me?

Hey Siri,
Who cares?

Hey Siri,
Did my housemate use my coffee mug?

Hey Siri,
Will I enjoy that new Woody Allen movie?

Hey Siri,
Do I look tired?

Hey Siri,
Am I crazy?

Hey Siri,
Do you think I'll ever truly be happy?

Hey Siri,
If you don't answer me, how will I know?

Both deplete
Both complete

My moon and me
Both have lunacy

We slip in blue
But both renew

The beloved is uninterested and far
But we orbit our superstar

We cause their sea tide
And slowly we hide

We are tattooed with scars
But we outshine the stars

We are distant from love
And continue to revolve

Unloved alike loon
Me and my moon
