#unansweredquestions
When I write I write in questions Well now I ask myself; why? Why do I have so many unanswered questions? And the only answer That I could muster Was this; I don't know. I don't know why you left me. I don't know what it is that's preventing my recovery. I don't know what I'm so afraid of. Or why I'm afraid of it. I don't even know why I write. And I sure as hell don't know what I'm gonna do.

idk
Did you ever think of staying? Or was leaving the only way you knew how to love me? Was I too much, or not enough? Did I ask for things you couldn’t give, or did you offer less than you were able? I wonder if you held back your truth to protect me, or to protect yourself from watching me fall apart. The answers don’t come. But the questions— they stay. Lodged somewhere between my ribs and my memory, quiet, persistent, unanswered.

Questions I Can’t Unask
Why does a lamp burn, only to fade? Why does a flower bloom, only to wither? Why does every life tell a story, Yet every end births a new beginning? Will this cycle ever cease? Or will the soul forever wander? Is there someone writing this fate, Or is it just a grand illusion we ponder?

The Ocean of Questions (i)
What was her fault?     A desire to have a family? A sacrifice which created another family? A dream to be a working woman? A want to live happy? A life to see her children achieve big? A kind hearted nature who always searched her happiness in her people's happiness? What was her fault after all??

What was her fault?
वाट पाहिलेली तिजी मी, पण ती नाही आली खिडकीत दिसलेली ती शेवटची, परत दिसलीदेखील नाही कित्तीएक वर्षं गेली आता, आता गेलाय खूप काळ तिच्या आठवणींचा मात्र, मी केलाय सांभाळ कुठे असेल आत्ता ती? ह्या प्रश्नानं दिला त्रास चेहऱ्यावर आहे हसू, पण आतून आहे मी उदास विचारलेलं तिच्याबद्दल, चौकशी खूप केलेली कुणास ठाऊक, कुठल्या शहरात, होती ती हरवलेली तिच्या आठवणीने खूप त्रासलोय, नाही मला सुचत काही म्हणूनच कदाचित परत विचारतोय — कुठे असेल आत्ता ती??

कुठे असेल आत्ता ती
To feel like a thin book of virulent darkness — each page trembling under the weight of light. The future reads me back like a thriller; every silence a plot twist, and every sigh a cliff-hanger. Suspended against a cosmic backdrop — a man’s visible teardrop, feels heavy as the first raindrop. And each day, a new palace of strange clouds arrives, _unprecedented_ — flooding my soul and mind. I dance to the rain’s percussion —each drop striking its own torrents; and to rent a place in your thoughts has built a home I can’t evict from my own head. And before the breath of a dream abandons me, press a killing kiss upon my lips —smother the ache gently, unbothered, unanswered. For this flower, let the questions rot where they bloom; and let the mystery be the only mercy I have left. For I’ve learned to live without the knowing, content in the suspense of it all —the few riddles that refuse to die keep me turning the pages, for who knows what waits us tomorrow, and what quiet ending the dark will write.
