Perfection is-
an imperfect word
in this imperfect world.

When I was alone
in my world.
Alone, but never lonely.
Colours and canvases-
my only friends.
With no one
to care or bother.
You came along,
changed it all.
Now gone.

The people we meet in life
always stay with us -
some as beautiful memories,
and
some as ugly scars.

I wonder what you see
when you look at me.
Do you see the real me
                  or
the me you want me to be?

Between life and death,
lies an empty space,
a playground for love
where hearts run wild.

Love isn't geometry
There's no need to prove it

Love is only a feeling
You can feel it

in every little gesture.
in every little deed.

in a smile.
in the eyes.

There is a moon up in the sky ,
another one that walks the earth.
I deeply love them both.

Is this what is hurting you ?
Is this why you are walking away in silence ?

If only the Moon had a voice ,
it would have smiled and whispered-

" He loves me only because
in me, he sees you."

Let us let go of the past .
Let us make a fresh start .
Let the first step be trust .
Let us be friends one more time .
Let us be friends for life.

The pen was always mightier than the sword.
        
                            what if

                            we could

make our keypads mightier than the bullets ?

In the silence of night

wounds of the heart scream.

A shelter in your heart I seek,  
to hide from all the miseries and grief.
I will wait for the day
when you reopen your heart for me.

Once I dreamed of a world
filled with canvas and colours.
A dream to bring to life,
blank canvases with various shades and hues.
To let my paint brush speak for me.
To use up all my time,
to create landscapes, seascapes and portraits.

A distant dream it was, now broken.
My canvas remained blank,
my palette remained empty.

You are the sun,
I am your mirror.
I reflect your light
back to you.

Your rays touch me -
mine never reaches you.

If we choose to be
we can be:

the voice of the voiceless,
the strength of the weakest,
a glimmer of hope for the hopeless,
a ray of light in darkness.

Little by little ,
I fell in love .
A gentle smile,
every once in a while.
I fell in love .
A few words of wisdom,
Whenever I felt lost.
I fell in love .
A  little help ,
Every time I needed.
I fell in love with you.
With each passing day,
I love you a little more...

If I love you enough ,
my love will find a way
to your heart .

No,I don't believe in miracles -
it is my love
that I trust.

Politics create barriers.

Art builds bridges.

Wounds need to bleed


So they can heal.

She said, "I am afraid ."
He said, "Why? I am here."
She said, "That is why."

A dying heart

drenched by a shower of love

came back to life.

She was told:
"You are sold
    to an old
for some gold."

I can be what you want me to be.
I can be how you want me to be.
Chained to you and not be free.

                      But-

Will you be able to love me
if I am not me...

                   truly?

I will live on
with or without you.

I won't cry,
I  won't die.
I will live on
with or without you.

With you, life can be
a smooth journey.
Without you
it will be lonely,
but
I will live on
With or without you.

My life is not mine alone -
It's tethered to my family and friends.
For them,
I will live on
with or without you.

Any day is a good day
when spent with honesty
and a little bit of love.

Silence speaks...



Just listen.

I have no riches
to win your heart,
No power
to make you mine.

All I have
are my words .
With them, I will build
a love bridge .

There,
one day,
someday,
our hearts will meet.


Hopefully.

Darkness has taken over the mind
Not a glimmer of light to be found
Smile has faded away
Giving way to the teary eyes
Life has lost its purpose now.

If you were to ask
why I write
so much about love

Well, what can I say -

The Taj Mahal is my inspiration.

Beauty without kindness


is no beauty at all.

Mysterious are the ways
how the universe works.
People we see everyday
remains strangers all through our lives.
And yet someone living in a distant land
touches our heart in such a way,
It turns our whole life upside down.
They don't belong to us
still becomes a part of us.

In a unique galaxy
somewhere in the sky,
special stars live there,
big and small alike.

One day, a lost asteroid
found itself among those stars.
The stars were kind;
they let it stay there,
and one fine night
turned it into a star.

Now it is shining bright.

I said , "I  love you. "

He looked at me for a moment
and then with his gentle soft voice
he said,  " I  love  too....

      
           but not you. "

What will people say
is all that matters.
What the heart says
does not matter.
The heart speaks in silence
no one can hear.
It is the people
who says it out loud.

A Starfish lying dead
on the beach
when touched by waves
begins to breathe.

Like a bus stop,
my heart was
to you.

You came,
stayed briefly,
then left -

like it was nothing,
as if it were
made of concrete.

We break a piece of glass....unintentionally.
We break a loving heart....intentionally.

When a glass breaks,
it makes a sound.
When a heart breaks,
it cries in silence.

If humans had no emotions,

poetry wouldn't have existed.

A reminder of an ex-lover?
An unstitched wound?
An uninvited guest?
An unbearable pain?

All the unanswered questions
haunt me now day and night.

तुमसे जो नज़रें मिली,
दिल को एक अनोखा एहसास हुआ|

क्या यही वो अहसास है,
जिसे प्यार कहती है ये दुनिया ?

Part by part
you tore me apart.
Now you ask,
have I killed you
gently enough?

I often wonder,
what happens when all the lovers die ?
Do they really turn into stars,
to shine bright in the night sky ,
far away from each other -forever.

Or do they turn into stardust, become one,
comes down to the earth
to be reborn,
to fall in love again ?

Sometimes, pain is the only reminder


                
                  you are still alive.

When nature takes center stage


the world holds its breath.

Nothing hurts more

than hurting the person

you love the most.

What a wonderful place to be -
The world of words
Where imagination comes alive
Hopes fly high

They give joy,
tears too.

A place like no other
the world of words.

Sorry doesn't change a thing

what's broken
remains broken.

Yesterday, I was nothing .
I was happy.
You pulled me down .
Treated me like trash.
It ignited a fire in me.

Now, I shine bright ,
just like the Sun .
Don't come closer
You will burn ,
In my light.

I
fell
in
love
in
an
instant

  
and


I
am
still
falling.

Once I stumbled upon
a stream of love,
wondering where it was coming from
I  went searching.

There it was,
lying around...
a broken heart.

Silence is not
a weakness.

It's only an act
of non-violence.
