वो पहली मुलाक़ात, सामान्य से हालात,
वो तेरा चुलबुलापन, होठों पर मुस्कुराहट।
जब भी मन मायूस हुआ,
तेरा नाम लिया, तुझे याद किया।

बेसब्र कर देता है मुझे, अगली मुलाक़ात का इंतज़ार,
याद कर लेता वो मुस्कान, आ जाती है जान।
फिर से एक दिन काट लिया,
तेरा नाम लिया, तुझे याद किया।

कैसे कहूँ मोहब्बत है तुझसे, अपना बनाना चाहता हूँ,
अक्सर दिल की बातों को, स्याही में ला पाता हूँ।
सहम जाता सोचकर, कि तूने इंकार किया,
तेरा नाम लिया, तुझे याद किया।

जुटा रहा हूँ होंसला, लाऊंगा जुबां पर,
स्याही के लफ़्ज़ों का, कर दूंगा इज़हार।
इंतज़ार है अगली मुलाकात का, इस रात दिल संभाल लिया,
तेरा नाम लिया, तुझे याद किया।

धड़क रहा दिल ज़ोरों से, जो थामे हूँ तेरा हाथ,
इन नन्ही सी उँगलियों से, मिलता है विश्वास।
हैं साथ तेरा जो मेरे, पा गया जहान,
इन प्यारी सी आँखों में, देख लूं कायनात।

लगता जैसे हैं हमारा, जनम जनम का साथ,
काटना चाहता हूँ, हर सुख दुःख तेरे साथ,
आँख खुली, एह्साह हुआ, सपना मेरा टूट गया,
तेरा नाम लिया, तुझे याद किया।

"Ummm... I like you," she said,
her voice a trembling whisper.
Beads of sweat glistened on her brow,
breath uneven,
her heart pounding like fragile thunder.

She stood in quiet stillness,
anticipation pooling in her eyes,
her gaze fixed,

And then, I felt it—
a rush of warmth blooming in my chest,
nerves tangling with wonder,
as if her words were rewriting my very being.

For a moment, time stood still—
and that was when
I felt spring in the winter.

Serendipity
True to through
Though, a rainbow travel far
The question of might, is openly should

A house of energy's
Quiet critique
Halt and habit, specific
Live sincerity's life well, we have each

Doors may close
And suspect a chaste
Is a courage to pose
The other side of promises, fast

The conquering of death, with dread
Ahead is a boding continue
Of what we know, is a living lead
To the sigh of consummation, with liberty due...

We see the creation, the commotion
Owed a love, by the reality of sakes
Made to keep a rolling serve of devotion
To the mercy of us, all of a lover's might, with which we make...

For a moment we’re in perfect harmony.
There is no fear. No worry.
Finding purpose in each other.
Whether the shadows creep through the night.
Or the sun lives out loud during the day.
There is but a moment
Followed by an embrace, then a click.


Unlocking parts of you that I only anticipate.
Though circumstances may vary.
This moment I relive, even away from you.
The way that you sigh, the way that you
Twist and the way that you turn.
No matter where I’ve been.
You tumble then you click for all to hear.


A sigh released into forever.
Echoing down its hallway.
No matter how tight you squeeze.
I am here.
No matter how stubborn you may become.
I am here.
Until the day I no longer exist.


No matter how many hands I may pass through.
I can never replace the way that you hold me.

Through its bend.
It hangs on to a promise.
One that hasn’t been fulfilled.
Its colors now dull,


Cascading from behind the clouds.
Bruised yet, fleeting in the blink of an eye.
It searches. Finding reason to smile.
The sun peeks its head out from behind the clouds.
Catching a glimpse of its beauty.


Someday.
Love won’t feel so constrained.
Giving it something to wrap its arms around.
Through its bend.
A brighter day is just around the corner

I wonder if you think about me as much as I think about you

If you lay awake staring at the ceiling at three am
thinking about kisses in the corners of parties
we didn’t want to go to

Walking the long way home as if we don’t feel the cold
dizzy and drunk under street lights and stars
lost somewhere in the city arm in arm

The sound of your voice on the back of my neck
on lazy Sundays when we have no reason to leave the bed

I wonder if any of this would make sense to you

If you romanticise us in the same way I do

Popular invitations
Sent from heralds of punch and perfume
Simple news for a lonely intimation
When asking is a favored voice to loom

Generosity, and the stir of deed
Done with sorrow, as a future has been
See the wish of gaiety, of me...
The miracle of need, is but a strength to sing

Sincerity asked, what has a luck seen for the better of others?
And with the delicate truth to share, can we see the baring lot?
So exposed, so triumphant for a quiet hope, come of age to bother
The very routes of dismay, a looking how, that has joy for now?

And the light has fed the cause, of reasons conscience?
Risk and tenacity running so fast, for a truth to dwell...
Upon the seclusion we sake an hour, of something greater than prescience
And the fate of it, a happier draw of attention, to a reach still...

As we thought, a marvel of sincerity and furies with a moment to tell
The world is a sour passion, come of distance as a reward for life
In the details and the wayward way we make spirit to fulfil
When notion is a curious live, for something greater than hatred's sight?
