Akriti Mar 22
The world has changed so much.
But has it changed for better?
Swords are replaced by bullets .
But the killing goes on .
The thirst for blood of a fellow human being
still remains the same .
Advanced Technology, Artificial Intelligence and Drones are meant to make our life better,
But haven't they also made killing much easier ?
It really makes me wonder ,
Has the world really changed for better?
Akriti Mar 23
I am afraid ,
not of dying,
but to be born again .

I am afraid ,
not of my enemies ,
but to fall in love again.

I am afraid,
not of death,
but to live one more life
with a broken heart.
Akriti Mar 13
In darkness,
be the light in someone's life.
Lend a helping hand,
You surely will make a new friend.
If someone loves you,
Honour that love.
For love isn't a commodity,
You can buy.
To the one you love,
Give the gift of time.
Spread a smile,
In someone's life.
Your life will be truly worthwhile.
After all,  what is life's worth,
If it can't make someone's life better.
Akriti Apr 4
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.
Akriti Apr 5
I saw a light in your heart,
that is how I fell in love.
Your light sparked a fire of desire
in my heart.

Douse this fire with a shower of your love,
or watch it burn to ashes of love.
Akriti Apr 3
All that is beautiful is not treasure.
All that is broken is not trash .
Ask any broken heart
It will tell
It is beauty that breaks hearts.
Akriti 1d
Between life and death,
lies an empty space,
a playground for love
where hearts run wild.
Akriti Mar 9
Why follow when you can lead the way,
Lose your way you may, but never lose hope.
Accept challenges, never surrender,
Every time you fall, rise a little higher.
When one door closes for you, find a new one.
Love you may not find, but always look to earn someone's trust.
When you see a dark cloud,
Remember there is a rainbow around.
Don't be afraid of the dark night,
For, the night is the darkest
Just before sunrise.
Akriti 1d
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.
Akriti Mar 10
There's a pain in my heart
It doesn't go away
Does it hurt because it's broken?
Or is it because you are the reason
Is this what you called love?
Making promises and then leave,
Tearing my heart apart.
My heart is pure, so was my love for you
You were too blind to see
Lucky are those who are being loved
Someday perhaps, it will be my time
To be loved.
Akriti Mar 16
Come back ,
Or give me my life back.
You took all I had.
Come back ,
You are all I have.
Akriti Mar 24
Do not knock,
The door of my heart is locked.
Once,  it was a glorious place
Filled with the love of my dearly beloved,
and the soft sound of my heartbeats.
Now, it's empty and silent.
Graveyard of a dead love.
A forbidden place for lovers.
Please, do not knock
You can't enter
The door to my heart is locked forever.
Akriti 3d
I am broken,
don't fix me.
If you find me in pieces,
don't collect me.
I am replaceable,
just replace me.
It's quite easy.
Akriti Mar 29
I saw her walking on a full moon night ,
Wearing a silver gown ,
Her face shining like a brilliant star .
She looked at me and smiled .

I stood ,wondering who she was .
Soon, I found her standing next to me .
She greeted me with her embrace,
and a kiss upon my lips.

Alas! I  woke up -
It was only a dream.
Akriti Mar 9
Never looked at any other face again,
nor did I travel the road of love again.
Locked up my heart, once and for all,
for you were, are and always will be,
my one true love.
The Sun shone brightly and then,
disappeared behind the horizon.
Stars twinkled all night and then,
they too disappeared.
Storm came and gone,
leaving behind a trail of destruction.
But my love for you stayed like a rock,
never faded nor disappeared.
Akriti Apr 11
I
fell
in
love
in
an
instant

  
and


I
am
still
falling.
Akriti 7d
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.
Akriti Apr 8
You said, "It's over"
as if it was dinner .

It is love,
it is forever.
Akriti Mar 27
You cannot keep me chained.
You can't clip my wings .
I will not surrender.
I won't accept defeat .
I will break free .
I  will fly away .

I am freedom.
Akriti Apr 9
Strong as a rock,
Unbreakable like a promise.
Yes, it is friendship -
A bond built on trust.

Once made, never broken
The older it gets ,
Stronger it becomes .
Far or near, always there .

Seasons come and go,
But friendship remains intact.
Never fades away nor disappears ,
Stays with you like the Sun -

Always shining bright
To brighten up your life
Removing all the dark clouds
Away from your life.
This one is for you Immortality. HAPPY BIRTHDAY.
Akriti Mar 15
Don't say your goodbyes yet.
You have a long journey ahead.
Not everyday will be sunny.
Some of the days will be gloomy.
You will feel so lonely.
On such a day,
Remember someone is there,
Who will sing you a happy song
To lift your mood.
Dance funny to make you laugh.
Stand by you to let you know,
You are not alone .
Will hold your hand ,
Won't let you fall .
Don't forget ,
Don't say goodbye, just yet.
Akriti Mar 25
Once I was asked..if I could,
would I trade my broken heart with a perfect new heart ?
As tempting as it was,
I said I would not.
"Strange", he said. "Why not?"
With a smile I replied

"It is my broken heart that has turned me into a poet.
Each time it aches, emotions flows like a river
from where a beautiful new poem is born ,
which then I share with the world,
to bring them a moment of joy. "
Akriti Apr 12
In despair,

when breathing
feels like a crime
do not give up.

When everything feels lost
hold on to hope

Keep it burning -
the candle of hope

A little hope and
a little courage

will pull you through....

       even hell.
Akriti 3d
She said, "I am afraid ."
He said, "Why? I am here."
She said, "That is why."
Akriti 1d
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?
Akriti 7d
If you were to ask
why I write
so much about love

Well, what can I say -

The Taj Mahal is my inspiration.
from India, with love.
Akriti 6d
I often ask myself :

"Why is it so easy to die
for someone you love ,
and yet so hard to live on
for someone who cares?"
Akriti Mar 29
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.
Akriti Apr 6
It is time
to rise and fight.

It is time
to take a stand ,
for what is right .

It is time
to turn the tide .

Today is the time
to save the world,    
for our tomorrow
    
          or else

there will be none.
Akriti Apr 12
I have said it a thousand times
What if I say it one more time
Or perhaps a thousand times more

After all it's only three words

                          I
                      LOVE
                       YOU .
Akriti Mar 10
ख़ुशियों से मेरे दिल को आबाद कर दो ,
गमो को मेरे दिल से आज़ाद कर दो |
अगर उम्मीद पर कायम है  ये दुनिया  ,
तो उम्मीदों से मेरा दामन भर दो  |
तुम्हारी यादें रुलाती हैं दिल को,
अपनी यादों को मेरे दिल से आज़ाद कर दो  |
Akriti Apr 8
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.
Akriti Mar 26
This is our world-
Yours and mine.
We call it home.
It's not perfect ;
It has flaws .
True, we can't make it perfect .
But with a little bit of kindness ,
and a little bit of love
we can always make it better .

Only if we try-
Let us try.
Akriti Mar 8
Give life a chance,
Live a little longer.
Life is a gift,
Share it with the ones you love.
Hold a trusted hand,
The road of life will be smoother again.
Leave all your sadness behind,
Step into a beautiful new world.
Set your aching heart free,
Love will come in like a cool breeze.
Akriti Apr 4
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...
Akriti Apr 6
If it's love,
It will hurt.

If it hurts,
You know it's love.
Akriti Mar 8
O' love....your name I hear everywhere
What are you?...I  asked.
A voice came from within the depth of my heart
Love is.....it said
"When the world is lying at your feet
Yet, you don't care to look
For you can't take off your eyes
from that one face. "
O' how truly beautiful love is...said I.
Come...come...love
Come to my heart
For I too wish to feel your touch
Dear sweet love.
Akriti Apr 14
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.
Akriti Apr 11
Love enters the heart gently ,
Like a gentle breeze.
It touches the heart softly,
Like soft drops of rain .

But when love leaves ,
It brings a thunderstorm,
Shattering the heart into pieces.
Akriti Mar 28
My heart often sings for you,
The eternal song of love.
If it ever touches your heart,
Come to me.
I will be waiting,
For all eternity.
Akriti Mar 22
If I had the Magic lamp,
I  would wish for bullets of love
To **** all the hatred from people's hearts
And for bullets of kindness
To **** all the jealousy from people's minds
And then I would set the Genie free.
Akriti Mar 19
Don't shed tears,
Over my dead body.
I am no longer in there.
I am free now ,
From the ******* of life .
You call me dead,
I feel more alive .
Keep me in your heart.
Keep me in your memories .
We will meet again ,
Through your dreams.
Akriti 5d
If I am not here tomorrow ,
Don't grieve my departure ,
Don't let your eyes filled with tears
in sorrow.
If possible, erase me from your heart.
If a memory of me ever surfaces,
hum one of my songs.

These aren't just words-
They are emotions of my heart.
In every melody lies,
A heartbeat of my soul.

Preserve them with care
for in them
I shall live forever.
Akriti 5d
If not for a lifetime,
walk just a few steps with me.

Not asking for the entire age,
Spend just a few moments with me.

Share a little of your story,
listen to a little of mine .

Even if not you ,
your memories will stay with me .

In the lonely journey of life ahead,
they will be my companion.
Akriti Mar 13
I started my journey alone,
into the unknown.
Alone I may be,
but not lonely,
for my dreams are with me,
to keep me company.
I don't know where my destination is
it is the journey, that is my goal.
Akriti Mar 8
Strange but true,
I fell in love with you.
Never saw your face,
Yet I gave you my heart.
For I saw your heart,
Full of love.
You went out of my life,
But can you leave my heart?
You were never mine for me to keep,
Yet you became a part of my soul.
No matter where you are,
No matter whom you love.
You will forever live in my heart,
For you are the love of my life,
The most beautiful poem of my heart.
Akriti Apr 10
I am still in search of my place
in the world.

In hope,I start
then stop to ask:
Is this where I belong ?

Everything works fine at the start
then it falls apart .

So I move on ,
Start over ,
stop again to ask :
Do I really belong here?

I have started again
now I am afraid to stop and ask
once more :
Is this the place where I belong?

After all, I am only a speck of dust
amongst the galaxy of stars.
Akriti Mar 21
I went on a quest,
in search of the most beautiful place on earth.
I saw beauty all around .
But what I went searching for ,
I  found it right here .
It is the heart,
for, heart is the sacred place where
the flower called love blooms.
Akriti Mar 18
This is my story .
How I came to be .
Lying unconscious,
In my death bed
Waiting for the inevitable
Alas! I came back to life
Woke up all alone
Sad and lonely
No one to care or love
Thought dying would have been better
Was fascinated by the world of Art
Drawn towards Monet, in particular
Started to dream,
To paint like him
Soon to realize
It was a dream, too far out of reach
Felt lost again
Wondering , to which world do I belong
So I took to writing
And this is how I came to be.
Akriti Mar 9
I love no more, I hate no more.
I dream no more, I wait no more.
My time in this world is over now.
Now I rest.
Farewell to all my miseries.
Farewell to all my pain.
It's all over now.
For now I rest.
In the peaceful bed of death.
Farewell! O' my dearly beloved.
