YUN HI THA?(HINDI)
Udit Vashishth Nov 2018
Wo afsaano ka banna yun hi tha.
Wo daastano ka bunna yun hi tha.
Yun hi tha wo intezaar ke lamhe ginna.
Aur shayad hamse pyaar karna bhi yun hi tha.

Wo dur rah kar bhi pass hone ka ehsaas hona yun hi tha.
Wo har raat aur har subah hamse baat karna yun hi tha.
Yun hi tha wo har naghme me doob jana.
Aur shayad un naghmo me ek dusre ko talaashna yun hi tha.

Wo alfaazon ka bayaan hone se pehle pura karna yun hi tha.
Wo har subah, shaam dhalne ka besabri se intezaar karna yun hi tha.
Yun hi tha wo has has kar baatein karna.
Aur shayad har raaz ko khulkar batana yun hi tha.

Kya tumhari awaz sunkar dil ka zor se dhadkna yun hi tha?
Kya armaano ka mehal banana yun hi tha?
Kya yun hi tha wo roothne ke baad wapis aa jaana?
Aur
Kya tumhare wapis aane ki ummed me jeena yun hi tha?
This is my first ever hindi poem...
I have never written a hindi poem before but sometimes you feel something that compels you to write in such a way.

I WISH I HAD WINGS
Udit Vashishth May 2018
I wish I had wings & I could fly.
Dive off the edge & spread them in the sky.

To get rid-off the illusions of this earth.
Which makes me feel guilty that why I took birth.

Why all the time a person  is surrounded by sorrow?
Is there any place, from where HAPPINESS I can borrow?

I'll fly & will run far away from here.
But I am afraid of returning the same place as the world is a sphere.

Why aren't we satisfied with our lives & its prosperity?
Why can't we see our happiness & other's grief with clarity?

Let me go & let me fly away from this place.
I can't bear more pressure & I can't even run this RAT RACE....

So I'm going, just leaving this house in search of a new nest,
where I can begin my life again and will find peace & rest.

But I know this isn't possible as, throughout my life, sorrow clings.
I should give up this thought but still I WISH I HAD WINGS.
It's like a dream for everyone. Most of us have imagined ourselves flying above the whole city and might enjoy. But what I think is - when we actually learn to fly, we'll encounter many things that will not be nice to watch. But that's reality.

HIBERNATION
Udit Vashishth Oct 2018
For a few days, my pen will remain silent.
My mind will be numb and thoughts won't be violent.

For a few days, the writer inside me will hibernate.
I don't know when he'll return but I'm sure it is going to be a bit too late.

For a few days, I am not going to see the rising sun.
Will remain in the state of inactivity with no joy or fun.

For a few days, my face will look like a corpse devoid of any expression.
Expressing it didn't work out so I'll try the other way - supression

For a few more days, my heart will not be dilating just contracting inside my chest.
Hollowing me from inside, eating me up.
For some days, in peace I'll rest.
Hibernation, yeah human does that too..
It's time to take a nap..
The writer inside me wants to sleep..

SHE
Udit Vashishth Sep 2018
SHE
She is simple yet
the complications in her simple words have so much depth that I always get lost in them.

She is the most beautiful woman I've ever seen yet
so down to earth that makes her even more beautiful.

She is carefree and yet
so caring that whenever I'm around her, my wounds and sufferrings heal faster.

She is a human and yet
so supernatural that even from miles away she can change my mood in a flick of a second.

She always bears a smile on her face and yet
so transparent that I can see the grief underneath that smile.

She is far away from sorcery and yet
such a good mind reader that she always reads all my thoughts and give me the reply even before I could say anything.

She loves to sleep a lot and yet
to talk to me, she forgets about her sleep and we spend the whole night talking.

She is so strong and yet
so fragile that if I would touch her she would melt in my arms, giving herself away.

Who is she?

She is the one I've been waiting for years.

She is the woman I love.
She is the one for whom I waited a long time.. A girl like her needed to be loved unconditionally and that's what I'm doing

INCEPTION
Udit Vashishth Sep 2018
INCEPTION
The time after you've gone to sleep,
Deep sleep,
Is the time when I stay awake for a while.
And "a while" is just for me but in real world terms, you can say a few hours.
I stay awake to witness an extraordinary
phenomenon.
Believe me, Physics can't define this.
Don't know is that some kind of aurora, those northern lights or something beyond it.
But my room, full of darkness, so much that even light couldn't escape.
And in that darkness I see your face.
Your moonlit face.
God! I knew you were an angel..
If you weren't then, why the light from the moon entering through a small hole of my window, falls on nothing but your pretty face.
Enhancing your look, which is the best as it is free from any anxiety.
You have a carefree childlike smile.
My god!!! How can I stop myself....
I want to extend my arms a little to touch those pearly white cheeks of yours.
I want to come a little closer to you and kiss your forehead.
But No!!!!!!!

I stop myself.
How could I touch that divine aura of yours? I am just a normal human being and I believe you aren't.
And then
Then something unexpected happens.
This happens every time..
Every night..
I don't know why happiness is so temporary.
(It would be interesting to see your reaction....)
The brightness of my phone start dimming.....screen time out...
God!!!!
**** imagination!!!
That's when I turn my screen time out setting to NEVER.

KNOTS OF SHAME
Udit Vashishth Apr 2018
A young girl was tied in the knots of a HOLY SIN.
Who looks happy from outside having grief within.

She was struggling with her life & was just hit by puberty.
Her parents had to do this unwillingly as they're struck by poverty.

But they didn't know that their girl was better than a boy.
She could've pulled them out of poverty if they would've kept her with joy.

She should be given a chance to grow and flourish.
But now, at the age of her own growth she may have a child to nourish.

We'll say we're living in 21st century and we're MODERN.
But actually we've never developed enough and are still downtrodden.

We must stop this ill-practice in our society.
Every child has a right to live his/her life given by the almighty.
Although we will say we're living in a modern world, still in some parts of our country child marriage has not stopped.

HER VOICE
Udit Vashishth Sep 2018
When she breathes it sounds like a soothing flute.
Her hiccups, yawns & even burps add the rhythm.
When she laughs, it's like the whole orchestra is playing a symphony.


I have stopped listening to songs nowadays.
Her voice feels like music to my ears.
My morning prayer and my good night's lullaby.
And on the top of that when she sings, I can't stop my heart from bursting outside my chest.

CARVED
Udit Vashishth Sep 2018
Those hairs were spread around that angelic face of hers.
A face that has just left an everlasting impression on my conscience.
A face that has just transformed my ordinary looking roof into a divine ambience.

Those hairs
Sometimes enhancing the aura of my luminous body that illuminates everything so bright.
And
Sometimes blocking the way of my only source of light at night.

When she left
I started staring at the moon
surrounded by the clouds.
I flinched for few seconds & for knowing what I imagined,
I'm leaving all of you for thinking out loud.
It was a matter of few minutes but it carved an everlasting impression on my mind..

BUNDLE OF JOY
Udit Vashishth May 2018
I took her in my hands
And I forgot all my pains
and sorrow when that little
bundle of joy smiled back at me.
It gives me an immense pleasure to be around kids. I mean who doesn't love kids. Every time I see a kid, I just can't stop myself to take him/her in my arms.

SHE
I used to call myself a writer
then,
she came and taught me
"How to hold a pen
correctly."

I thought of myself as a singer
then,
her melodious voice enlightened me
"How to listen to the symphony of
your own heart."

I called myself a dancer
then,
her passion for dance instructed me
"How to sway your body with the
music that your heartbeat sings."

I dared to call myself a lover
then,
her unconditional love solemnly
educated me
"How to love someone affectionately
even staying miles away from each other,
even when you can't see each other
every day."
I have been doing everything so wrong then, she came into my life and changed the perspective of looking at this world...

SOMETHING IS MISSING
Udit Vashishth Aug 2018
Something is missing in our conversation.
Is it the trust that you lost in me?
Something has changed in our relation.
Don't you notice or don't you wanna see?

There was a spice before which is now gone.
The words now seems totally fake.
There was something that's why we used to cling to the phone.
Will you please tell me what's bothering you for God sake?

I know the fault was mine but see I came back.
Now all I want from you is to forgive me please.
The future of our relation seems totally black.
If you want I'll apologize by bending on my knees.

I know it's hard but could you please become the same?
I don't like this new & bad change in you.
I know it's not like some kid's game.
But the words between us seems very few.

STOP YOUR BOYS
Udit Vashishth Apr 2018
STOP YOUR BOYS

Yeah, I know but you read it right.
That's what I can come up with even if you argue or fight.

Why are girls always the one to stop going out?
Stop your boys even if they get angry or they shout.

Make a new rule at home & don't let your boys move out after 8,
No matter how old are they whether 14 or 28.

You must have seen parents waiting for their daughters at bus stops.
To make sure they're ok calling them 100 times at tops.

See the other way around, wait for your boys there.
Call them 100 times if you see them nowhere.

Why should girls be afraid from the boys sitting at every corner of the street?
Those boys should be punished whenever this misbehavior they repeat.

Teasing every girl with their GANG is fun that's what everyone thinks.
This is the reason why we can't develop enough and that's why our nation stinks.

Stop your boys from moving out of the home after 8.
Else sitting there, just to tease them, for every passing girl they'll wait.

Why are girls supposed to live their lives in restriction?
Make a law like this that's what I expect whoever has this jurisdiction.

None of this is their fault then why are they hiding? Why should they cry?
They're not meant to remain inside, give them wings and please let them fly.
I was very hurt after knowing about the little girl being brutally ***** by 8 men. That's shame on our society.

A POET FELL IN LOVE
Udit Vashishth Jul 2018
When I hadn't fallen for someone I used to think a lot.
I can't figure out what can I talk and what can not?
Is there any institution where this could be taught?
Or a guy like me can never learn & I should put away this thought.

But then I gotta know that secret lies in HOW.
WHAT TO TALK is never the question I've understood it now.
I have learned from this experience somehow.
And I can make her feel like princess if she will allow.

I realized I fell in love when I couldn't stop talking.
At nights, her social profiles, I started stalking.
Losing the sense of surrounding I started jaywalking.
And, In my book of life, a new chapter is now unlocking.

The sun for me doesn't even rise without her morning wish.
My friends are telling me that I've stopped being selfish.
For me, each word of yours is precious, although you think it as *******.
I usually act mature but with you I can't stop being childish.

Smiling so widely when your parents are watching you.
Telling each other about every situation which we've been through.
Thinking that the hours of our conversations are really very few.
A poet fell in love and you all are reading his point of view.
We all fall in love and that's a great feeling I know. But a poet falling in love, that's out of this world.

TAKE MY LIFE, SET ME FREE
Udit Vashishth Sep 2018
If there is anyone up there,
listening to me and my prayer.

Please pull me out of this situation.
If you created me then I ask you to destroy your creation.

I can't see any path which will lead me to a better life.
And I don't have the strength to hang myself or cut my wrist with a knife.

So, I kneel before you and ask you to do me a favour.
Send a beast on earth and I'll let him to devour.

Because that'll be the only precise punishment for my sin.
I am only giving pain to all my kith and kin.

If there's an afterlife then punish me with a life full of hell.
Trap me there for 1000 years and happily there I'll dwell.

If there's any reincarnation then curse me with a pernicious one,
Devoid of any air, devoid of light of moon or the Sun.

So, if my prayers are reaching you then punish me for my crime.
I give myself away and will fix it only the next time.
I've messed up this life so much that giving up seems like the only option. But I don't have the guts to do it.. So, I ask if there's anyone up there to take my life.

CAPTURE
Udit Vashishth Apr 2018
When the world gives me pain.
When everything makes me insane.
When each & every effort goes into vain.
I recollect all the sweet memories
that I have captured in my brain.

When I get distracted from my goal.
When I lose hope and cannot stand tall.
When I deal with the things that cannot control.
I relive all the moments
that I have captured in my soul.

When anything I see is nothing but a lie.
When I can't unsee bad things no matter how hard I try.
When I am hurt so badly but I cannot cry.
I reimagine all the beautiful pictures
that I have captured with each eye.

When I see my world falling apart.
When nothing goes right whatever I start.
When my brain denies to take part.
I revisit all the lovely feelings
that I have captured in my heart.
In today's world we sometimes lose hope and then we need a refresh button kinda thing to restart our daily life. The moments captured in our pasts help us to restart everything.

MATTER OF CHOICE
Udit Vashishth Apr 2018
I have seen the darkness.
I have seen the light.
I have felt the calmness
And also remained uptight.
Out of all these feelings,
I have always loved delight.

I have been in solitude.
I have been in crowd.
I have shown some gratitude
And for that, I have also cried out loud.
Out of all these states,
Thankfulness has always been my attitude.

I have loved the summer.
I have loved the rain.
I have loved the winter
And drew smileys on window's pane.
Out of all these seasons,
Autumn is the season when
my pen does not stutter.

I have sung a song.
I have remained silent.
I have understood right or wrong.
And sometimes become violent.
Out of all these emotions,
Happiness is the one where I belong.

I have loved my father
I have loved my mom.
I have seen them moving farther
And heard the silences before the storm.
Out of the two...

We all make choices in our lives. Sometimes it is easy to choose but some other times you can't choose between two options when you love both the options equally..

A POEM FOR A FRIEND
Udit Vashishth Apr 2018
When your wits started outsmarting mine.
When your aura started outshining mine.
When your understanding became better than mine.
I had realized you have become mature enough.

When your presence at my home stopped bothering me.
When all my "I's" started turning into "WE".
When we started going out on bike rides whenever we got free.
I had realized you have turned me into a better person.

When your shoe size increased to almost twice.
When your hunger, our lunch couldn't suffice.
When I've just grown by 1 and a half inches and you doubled your size.
I had realized you have grown enough.

When I stopped being an introvert.
When we shared our griefs whenever we were hurt.
When I started believing that any harm coming to us, you can avert.
I had realized that I have found a friend in you.
A gift to my best friend. It's his birthday today. I can't gift him any expensive gift and actually he never asked me for anything like this. All I can give him is a bunch of words weaved into a rhyme. If you've any friend like mine, share this to him/her.

LET'S FALL IN LOVE AGAIN
Udit Vashishth Sep 2018
I know it's weird but so is our journey until now.
And for all my mistakes I would kneel down before you and bow.

You've been an angel in this relationship and I acted like a devil.
A disturbed soul, a crazy lover, a mystery that has not been unraveled.

I know I told you to go and said so many harsh things.
But believe me I cried too & every day this venomous thorn stings.

I even accept that I didn't behave like this only one time.
But see I have returned to the same place, I came back to you every time.

Because I believe, there's no one in this world whom I have loved so much.
Let's begin a new journey, don't let everything remain as such.

I hereby ask you to forgive me & give me another chance.
Looking at the good time we had, giving it at least a glance.

Let us become two flowers of the same plant and together we would grow.
Or
I'll also accept being the soil beneath your feet & will also accept your NO.
Hurting the one who loves you is the sinnest ever thing you could do. So, apologizing publicly to tell how bad I was in this relationship and how good she is.

Rather Than Dying
Udit Vashishth Aug 2018
In my life, there was a time when nothing was going good.
Giving up was the only option that I understood.
Living a life full of misery was not that easy.
So, I decided for stopping the same, I would do whatever I could.


But there was something in my conscience.
That put into my mind a little sense.
There's no benefit in dying like this.
There are lot of things one can do in their presence.


That day I decided I would spend my life living for others.
Spending time with them in harmony like sisters or brothers.
From that time, a new and happy life has started.
And in this new life not even a single person suffers.


Believe me, the feeling of helping others is so satisfying.
It's better than sitting in one corner and just crying.
So, before putting an end to your life think once.
There are lot of things to do rather than dying.
Dying is not always the option. Stand up and be useful to this world.

RAIN
Udit Vashishth Apr 2018
The rain is strange,
I feel it I don't know why.
No one knows its range,
Many drops of water falling from the sky.

It's a reason of happiness- someone believes,
While for some other it's a reason to cry.
As it rains, someone lives,
While many other in the world die.

Some people like being wet,
Because for them a source of joy it appears.
While for some it's a cause of regret,
For them, it's a way to hide their tears.

For some it always brings glory,
While for others it brings pain.
Everyone has one or the other story,
But no one can ever understand this rain.
            -Udit Vashishth
Rain has different meanings for different people. But it always feels the way you want it to be. While a shower of rain can make someone's day, while excess of rain can destroy homes and cause flood.

LET'S BE HUMAN
Udit Vashishth Jun 2018
Let's not talk about our ethnicity.
Let's,for a while, we don't see our races.
Let's not,for some individual's fault, blame the whole community.
Let's not judge someone just by looking at their faces.

Let's not isolate someone just beacuse he prays some other God.
Let's not detach those strings just because he's not one of you.
Let's not, by seeing someone's clothes, feel odd.
Let's just peep into those inner feelings which are always true.

Let's not create hierarchies in caste & treat everyone equally.
Let's not differentiate any man or woman.
Let's not think ourselves superior & become bully.
And
Let's, just for once, we all become human.
When God sent us here, he didn't assign races, religions and all with our names. He sent us as human beings - One common race. Then who are we to discriminate anyone on such basis that never even existed.
Udit Vashishth Apr 2018
You can't describe a form of God in a rhyme,
Who loves you always and may scold you sometime.

She becomes a finance minister while handling the money.
& she never gives up working either the day is rainy or sunny.

She manages all the difficult situations like a manager.
She has solutions to every problem whether it is minor or major.

She cures our illness & diseases like a doctor,
Sometimes harder and some other time softer.

She is the person who works 24 hours a day & 7 days in a week.
In fact on holidays her work load would reach to the highest peak.

In spite of her so much affection some of us treat her badly.
Still she is so kind-hearted that she loves us madly.

For our bright future she thinks so much and for that she prays everyday,
And for making her feel special why we dedicate only one day?

You'll notice what she does can't be done by any other,
So, from now on just forget everything & give love to your mother.
Why we dedicate only one day and call it as Mother's day??? I believe we should dedicate each day to our mother. By appreciating even small things that she does for us. Like appreciating her food, her cleanliness and all. If we can't help her in her chores at least we shouldn't criticize it.

WAVES
Udit Vashishth May 2018
Sitting by the side of a sea,
My legs were drowned upto the knee.
For once I had so many things in my brain.
Then suddenly everything turned blank & plain.

I saw the gushing waves striking the coast.
But the rocks were not ready to break at any cost.
It wanted to make a way through it.
But unable to do that as the force wasn't enough to hit.

I realized my life is going the same way.
No matter how many efforts I lay.
I couldn't find a way to achieve my goal.
Seems like I couldn't achieve that threshold.

But then I saw the waves going back.
Making the string of efforts a little slack.
Then with all the power it could generate
And with the help of stronger waves, it succeeded to penetrate.

It made its way through the hard & stubborn rock.
I was astonished watching this, sitting on the dock.
That day, beacuse of the waves, I was taught,
A beautiful lesson that inspired me a lot.

Sometimes it's not about how hard you try to achieve your goals, it's about when and where to apply your efforts

Staring at your divine face,
Looking at those shy eyes which
couldn't even behold towards

that I'm not gonna defile the

So, forget about perceiving any touch.

I am so enthralled by this aura that,

The time you told me it doesn't make sense.
Our talking to each other has made you tense.
So, in order to make you happy I'm building a fence.
Around me, where I'll live and I'll not speak anything in my defence.

But before that, let me ask you few things that matters.
Have you ever looked at our conversations and all those letters?
I should assume that you must have considered them as chit chatters.
Your thinking this way is the only thing that deters.

Deters me from loving you the same.
Beacuse, for me, this is not like some child's game.
Your reasons are irrelevant and your excuses are lame.
All this is burning me from inside but unlike you I'm burning without a flame.

At last, I wanna ask you something due to which I couldn't sleep last night.
Is your talking to other guys good? Is it, in any way, right?
It's when you were mine, this fact I must highlight.
How does it make sense that they used to hold you tight?
I have never asked her if it makes sense that I love you from the bottom of my heart but you don't even care.

HOME SWEET HOME
Udit Vashishth Sep 2018
Somewhere away from this world where there's no one to judge.
Where no one asks why, where no one holds any grudge.

A home which both of us would adorn with our love and care.
There'll be a sofa in our drawing room & two chairs to be fair.

Of course there'll be a balcony in our house. Oops! Home, I beg your pardon.
And many small plants to make it look like a hanging garden.

In that balcony you would stand and the breeze would kiss your pretty hair.
And I would stare at the beauty of the moment sitting hypnotized on my chair.

With each passing wind our wind chime of the balcony would ring.
And complementing its music, I would wait for you to sing.

We won't colour our walls with just paint but with memories too.
And a wall with no particular pattern. Just random colors like crimson, green & blue.

Sitting on the sofa, watching TV, for the remote we would fight.
And suddenly, getting close to each other, I would hold you tight.

Our main door will have a name plate with your name written before mine.
Beacuse I am nothing without you, you have always been my spine.

So, if you can imagine what I have already forseen.
Then how about taking a step forward? How about live-in?
It's our wish, our dream and both of us talk about it so much..
But
It's still a wish...

I'm thinking a long way ahead,
When we'll take a long time to get off the bed.

If we laugh a lil harder our teeth would come out.
And for taking a selfie, we won't even need an artificial pout.

Standing in front of a mirror I would pretend I don't know how to tie a tie.
And looking at you secretly and waiting for you to do it for me even after knowing my lie.

While reading newspaper in my rocking chair and you would be knitting sweaters.
Simultaneously, we would look at each other smiling, is the only thing that matters.

Getting ready for a wedding ceremony I would look like a grumpy old man.
Then looking at you coming downstairs in a beautiful dress is now my only plan.

Dancing at a romantic song and suddenly hearing the sound of cracking bone.
Then sitting back to the sofa, you would say that you've warned me & meanwhile I would groan.

I see this future where both of us are together until our last breath.
I have already imagined us together now please you do the math.
The real love lies spending time like the way I've mentioned..
Imagine and feel like I have felt and imagined...
Maybe you'll understand why...

HOW ARE YOU
Udit Vashishth Jun 2018
After years of silence and saying nothing to each other.
You suddenly texted me asking about my well-being.
Typing the reply for the same, my hands stutter.
How can I be good when connecting us, there was no string?

How can I tell you that I stayed there where you left me?
How can I say "I wish I should have stopped you"?
How can I mention, after leaving you my life is devoid of glee?
After all that, saying the truth, how am I supposed to do?

"Home is where the heart is" I hope you have heard that too.
My home always belongs to the place wherever you go.
I know you left me saying about the differences in our point of view.
But I haven't thought of anything else and I guess I should let you know.

So, if you wanna know how I am, then believe me I've been better.
I was the happiest man when you were around.
Without you, I'm not much of a go-getter.
I'm still waiting, no matter how weird it may sound.
The reply to "HOW ARE YOU?" is not always that simple, easy and joyous....

Udit Vashishth Apr 2018
Speak to the earth & it'll teach u,
About its beauty and diversity too.

Nature has given so many things to all,
Whether it is oxygen, fruits, vegetables or petrol.

I wish that it could have its own voice,
And it could shout louder than all our noise.

Then it'll mourn on the condition of its own,
Because the things it has given are impossible to clone.

Humans have destroyed all its loveliness and beauty,
& no one is ready to say, "Saving nature is my duty."

We don't know that destroying nature is killing ourselves,
And natural things look more beautiful in forests than in our shelves.

So from today let us pledge to save nature,
It'll not only help us but all other living creatures.
Saving nature should be our duty. We all keep destroying it but no one takes the step in saving nature. That's why I guess if nature had its own voice, it would have cried over its current condition.

LOST (PART 1)
Udit Vashishth Oct 2018
A girl is lost..
The girl whom I love & admire the most
Is lost.
Lost in the deep woods.
There are lots of ferocious animals in these woods..
The poisonous DOUBT,
The mighty DEPRESSION,
The wicked SUSPICION
and
The treacherous HATRED.
She's really vulnerable and can't even defend herself.
I'm afraid she might get lost in this jungle forever.
No one has ever come back from this jungle, once lost.

But

There's always a way.
A ray of hope.

I'm waiting on the edge of the woods, showing her the path with all the light I have and waiting for her to hold my hand.
But that would only be possible when she would make the effort of picking herself up and just walk in the direction of my light.
I can't do it alone because she ran away to hide herself, unaware of the upcoming dangers.
So, I'll wait here on edge of the woods.
Hoping that she would come one day.
It's been a while since I've talked to that girl whom I used to love. I am talking to a girl but she isn't the same girl. Some disguised person. She's lost.

VOID
Udit Vashishth May 2018
For many years you have enjoyed.
My company that you used to avoid.
Now from your love my heart is devoid.
Because I saw something that made me annoyed.
Seeing you with someone else, I was destroyed.
Like a planet turned into pieces by an asteroid.
I now run through the streets like a paranoid.
There's no one in this world to fill that VOID.
When someone comes into our lives it fill a blank space that no one could have ever filled...But when that someone leaves, it creates a void

FAVOURITE SONGS #2
Udit Vashishth May 2018
When I love someone I give her ALL OF ME.
But when she loves someone else all I ask is - WHY NOT ME?

How can you leave me hanging when I wanna SEE YOU AGAIN?
The thought of finding a WAY BACK INTO LOVE makes me insane.

I wanna STAND BY YOU even when we'll be walking with the help of a staff.
And if you'll leave me, I'll spend the rest of my life looking at your PHOTOGRAPH.

I don't wanna get to a stage where I'll have to say - WE DON'T TALK ANYMORE.
I've always imagined ourselves loving each other till DAYLIGHT knocks at our door.

I have loved you from the bottom of my heart TRULY, MADLY & DEEPLY.
And If you want, I can say I LOVE YOU bending on my knee.

But it's not possible because whenever I feel I've found my COVER GIRL,
Everybody around me wanna STEAL MY GIRL.

And if you're just a dream then DON'T WAKE ME UP that's all I can say.
I'll wake up for sure, but I know it's NOT TODAY.
That's another random collection of words just to tell a list of my favourite songs..Comment if anyone one of these is your favourite..

THE TIME WHEN WE DON'T TALK
Udit Vashishth Sep 2018
...is the longest ever I've experienced.
It feels like you've gone for decades & you're not coming back.
I could barely carve your picture on
the canvas of my heart but suddenly..
Suddenly, the time comes when you've to leave.
Leaving me alone, longing for you, waiting
for you to come back soon.

It's when I realize how precious you're,
how much I love you & what it feels like
losing you even for a while.
The time when we're talking to each other
flies like a spaceship leaving the earth.
While the time when we don't, elapses like
watching a snail trying to go round the earth.

Sometimes, I wish I could stand against
the hands of clock & would try to stop
seconds, minutes or atleast hours when
we're together.
And when I would succeed, I would live
my whole lofe in that moment watching your beautiful face & forgetting all my anxieties and sorrows.

So, when you're not around, I chant your name like some devotee chanting
mantras & trying to call for his/her god,
longing for his presence.
All I think and talk about is "YOU" during the time
WHEN WE DON'T TALK.
So the time when we don't talk I think about the time when we talk a lot... That's how my time and my days are spent...

AN ISLAND OF SOLITUDE
Udit Vashishth Apr 2018
Once upon a time there was an
uninhabited and abandoned island.
And a man ended up there as his journey was very unplanned.
Water was spread in every direction as far as eyes could see.
There was nothing but few insects and a tall coconut tree.
He wasn't there alone, he was accompanied by few friends.
Enthusiasm, Determination, Patience and Hope all were holding his hands.



The first 2 or 3 days were more like a picnic and everyone enjoyed.
Enthusiasm was very excited and made everyone look rejoiced.
But as the days passed by, he looked dull and weak.
He was the first one who couldn't even stand a week.
Losing Enthusiasm the man looked irksome.
Other friends tried soothing him while he was sitting numb.



It's not that easy to withstand such a harsh environment.
Nothing much to do and there's no source of merriment.
Then the day came when Mr. Patience lost his cool.
He also left the man there because a bad workman always blame his tool.
Losing Patience, the man became cranky and he freaked out.
Running away from the shore and into the woods he would shout.



Few days later Determination had something to say.
The man knew already so all he could do was just to sit and pray.
Determination brushed passed him while he was leaving.
Now the man just used to lay on sand & stare at the blue ceiling.
The man & his Hope would lie down in the Sun.
Difference between day & night! He could barely discern.



Though almost all of his friends left but Hope stayed by his side.
They still were holding hands facing high and even low tide.
But there's a limit of any person's strength and endurance.
How can a person stay alive when he had already lost his Patience?
He was watching his Hope and himself dying.
At night, under that coconut tree, both of them were lying.



When he couldn't even open his eyes and the sight of stars was unclear,
Hope came crawling near him and whispered something into his ear.
Gathering all the power he had, he saw with his blurry sight.
Out of nowhere, a motorboat was approaching, in that hour of plight.
Just because of Hope he survived in that dreadful domain.
Having Hope by his side, all those friends that were lost, he would regain.
Everyone loses hope in their life. Only those can make a difference who keep their hope alive until their last breath
Udit Vashishth Apr 2018
Every day and every night,
The earth longs for the infinite.
Far away but within your sight,
they will meet with delight.
Witnessing all this, the sunlight.
Dawn and dusk are their highlight.

Love story that is unmatchable.
Connected without any cable.
Their relationship is far more stable.
Just pure love without any label.
That thin skyline is the most affable.
It unites the two & makes them inseparable.

When earth would run dry,
And for water it would cry.
Her desire he won't deny.
In form of rain earth would meet sky.
Unconditional love that's what they imply.
Immortal & inspirational May this love never die.
You know if true love really exists then it should be like the relation between earth and sky. Unconditional love. They both meet at a place we call horizon. Even though their bonding is connected with that thin line still for years they've been together and will remain together for thousands of years more.

GAME OF IGNORANCE
Udit Vashishth Aug 2018
So, we're playing a game of "Let's ignore each other" for a while...
Ok, I get that.
I know you think that I started it.
But sorry that was not because I was ignoring you or because of my ego.
Actually, I'm always afraid of facing you.
I have always thought that you might not say even a "HI". I've always thought myself relatively inferior than you.
I might not be upto your standards that's what goes in my thoughts whenever I pass by you or see you in public.

And now all those cold looks you're giving me is bothering me a little.
You know what, I'm not good at this game.
I, somehow, take a glimpse of your face while passing by, hoping you would also do the same.
But No!.
Your eyeballs don't even move a bit. Like I don't even exist.
I've always wished to be invisible.I guess I'm now but, only to specific people.
You're really good at this game.
I hope you keep playing this way. You will definitely win.
Not a rhyme....When you're really hurt you don't think about making a rhyme, you just pour your thoughts out

INSIDE OUT
Udit Vashishth Apr 2018
Taking some of your leisure time,
That won't cost u even a dime.

Let's explore a little deeper inside me,
No need to hurry just whenever you are free.

I'll show you a world of words weaved into rhyme.
And if you want u can weave too, because it'll be our regime.

Deeper you will go, the more you will know.
A new universe, not high up, but deep below.

We'll create a new home made of metophors and irony,
Far away from this world which is full of gloom & agony.

So, come here whenever you have some leisure time,
I know it'll worth more than the value of a dime.
There are many deep secrets which I've never shared being an introvert.
But if someone is ready to spend a little time and explore a little deeper, they may find my world of poetry

SOMETIMES
Udit Vashishth Apr 2018
Sometimes I wish to be waken up by the first light.
Sometimes I wish to stay awake the whole night.

Sometimes I wish to live my whole life in one moment.
Sometimes I wish to die and lie still making no movement.

Sometimes I hope I could face every problem with bravery.
Sometimes I want to run away like cowards in a hurry.

Sometimes I don't want to utter a word and stay silent.
Sometimes I want to scream out loudly and become violent.

Sometimes I want to laugh out loudly and want to feel so high.
Sometimes I want to cry so hard that my tears would run dry.

Sometimes I want my body to freeze and buried under ice.
Sometimes I wish fire would burn it if it were to perish twice.
There are times when my alter ego wants exactly the opposite things in life..
It's again hard to decide sometimes.

GIVING UP IS NOT AN OPTION
Udit Vashishth Nov 2018
Don't get your hopes high.
Don't fall for the same lie.
Remember the past
How long did it last?
Fair and square
You're a horse with no mare.
So, run and run like you've never run before.
You are on your own you need no one to adore.
Fall and rise.
You've paid the price.
Burn the midnight oil.
With your sweat, irrigate the soil.
Open up the cage.
Let roar your rage.
Don't sit in a corner like a coward.
Let your determination be your sword.
Enough of sobbing, wipe off your tears.
Get your bow ready and so does your spears.
Rise before the sun.
Believe that you're the one.
It's time to pick yourself up.
(Look in the mirror and say that to your face) -
"I'll never give up"
It's time to rise. It's time to reach the infinite or maybe beyond that.

MY SECRET LOVE
Udit Vashishth Sep 2018
Hidden from the world's eyes,
when you love someone.
There's a bit of excitement every time,
there's so much fun.
When you can't stop talking to each other,
Sometimes in the bathroom and sometimes from the slab of the kitchen.
Talking at night, when she'll be your moonlight
& in the morning you'll be her bright sun.

When there's no fun doing anything else.
While talking to her becomes your only delight.
Being lost in the conversation with her,
you can't even discern between the day and night.
Covering the blanket upto your face,
Hugging your pillow really very tight.
Whispering love into each other's ears,
Knowing you're not alone now and hence feeling everything's alright.


In front of people you act mature but with her you always act silly.
When everyone will know about it and
will interpret unknowingly.
While texting her you'll smile
and everyone will look at you quietly.
Then my dear friend your love is growing.
There's nothing better than loving someone secretly.
Rhyme scheme ab, cb, db....
I am one of those people who loves keeping their love secret...hidden from this world

SHADOW
Udit Vashishth May 2018
There's a dark shadow lurking behind the curtain.
That's gonna haunt us for life & that's certain.

When the bright light of HOPE will be long gone,
That dark shadow of DESPAIR will pounce upon.

Pounce upon us mustering all of its power.
To knock us down with each passing hour.

But one thing inside you will never let you fall.
Your determination which will help you to stand tall.

Stand tall against this dark shadow and throw it out of your way.
The bright light of hope will shine again the next day.
There will be times when we will be surrounded by hopelessness and sorrow.
We may feel like giving up.
But remember- only those can make a difference who bear all the pressure till their last breath and never give up.
Keep your hope alive and be determined.

TWO BIRDS
Udit Vashishth May 2018
Bought two birds.
Put them in a cage called LOVE.
One flew away....


The other one died...
Forcing someone to stay in a relationship ends up in destroying both the lives..In fact the lives related to them too..

A BIRD IS SHOT DEAD
Udit Vashishth May 2018
For many years, for a couple of hours.
I knew a bird that used to visit the nest of ours.

She was happy, she was gay.
And together, we used to play.

She used to chirp around & flew happily.
Spreading her wings & chirping merrily.

Her presence in our nest never even bothered me.
She brought smile on our faces as she was carefree.

But nature always takes back whatever belongs to it.
To make us realize that we're nothing but its puppet.

The small and lovely bird was given a heavy weight to carry.
To put an end to her flight she was being asked by her parents to marry.

Almost wingless and at such an early age.
She was forcibly put inside this WEDDING CAGE.

But just when I thought things can't go any more worse.
A dreadful thing happened that my hands shiver while completing the next verse.

The tiny bird was shot dead far away from her nest.
Her parents had no idea while sending her away thinking this is best.

I thought even without wings she's gonna come back and chirp once at least.
But little did I know that now it's not possible as she was murdered by some beast.

I hear no more chirping but only silence around.
I wish, for the one last time, I could listen to that sound.

I wish I could turn back time where no one was sad.
But no one can escape from the reality that a little bird is shot dead.
I have cried a lot and I thought I won't cry any more while completing this poem.
But NO it's hard when someone is really close to you.
That little bird used to call me 'Bhaiya'(elder brother).
She used to tease me a lot.
Now all I have is her memories.
She lived right next to our home.
I don't know why it happened but I do know one thing that she didn't deserve this. She has never hurt anyone. She was innocent.
Udit Vashishth Sep 2018
Dear beloved,

This is to tell you that I am missing you really bad. I know just a few moments earlier we took a break after hours and hours of talking. Still, I don't know why but, I'm missing you.
I have never been addicted to anything in my life. But now, it seems like the craving for your presence is irresistible. I can't stop thinking about you.
I can't get the beautiful face of yours off my eyes. It's like wherever I look, your picture is pasted there and I just keep staring there mesmerized.
I can't understand how, from miles away, you are able to touch my soul, my heart & even you were able to steal it from me. Now, It's impossible to think of anything else. I don't know what kind of sorcery is this but my love for you is increasing exponentially.
So, if my letter and my words have reached to you and your heart then, kindly come back because it's now getting harder to spend a minute without you.

Yours always.
Living even few minutes without her makes me wanna bring her back to me wherever she is.

FAVOURITE SONGS
Udit Vashishth May 2018
HEY THERE DELILAH will you be my wife?
You're the one who completes the STORY OF MY LIFE.

You look so beautiful that I CAN'T TAKE MY EYES OFF YOU.
You're sweeter than the SUGAR and this fact is really true.

For rest of our lives, I'll always SHINE YOUR WAY.
I'm the MAN WHO CAN'T BE MOVED so I will make you stay.

Stay in our relationship because with you I feel 10 FEET TALL.
And without you, my life is a BLANK SPACE and in that I feel so small.

All I ever wanted is to be SOMEBODY TO YOU.
I've never loved anyone else this much but ONLY YOU.

For me, all your LITTLE THINGS are like a bliss.
And if you give me enough time I can love you MORE THAN THIS.

I'LL BE THERE FOR YOU whenever you'll need me.
And I'll be happy as, like others, I can say SOMEBODY'S ME.

And IF YOU WANNA GO HOME, I'll surely set you free.
I can spend my life alone so just DON'T WORRY ABOUT ME.

Living alone IN THE END, is one of my greatest fears.
But that can't stop me from loving you for A THOUSAND YEARS.
I don't know why I do that...
Well when someone asks me which are your favourite songs then I guess I'll show them this rhyme and they'll know...
So, it might feel ******* to some and might make no sense but it's ok..I think it is meant to be this way..
And if anybody,by chance, like it, I'll come up with a second part too..

SCARS
Udit Vashishth Jun 2018
Few scars on my face
showing the struggles
in the life's race.
Some show honour
while others disgrace.
But real wounds
are deep down the surface.

Few scars on my soul.
Showing the time when
I couldn't stand tall.
Some pierced through
and left inside a hole.
While some others were formed
when my life was out of control.

Many scars in my heart.
Each showing like
it was torn apart.
Seems like some
painful art.
Or like needle makes
its impressions on dart.
Life would have no meaning if it were devoid of scars because scars teach us lessons and give us experience that can't be learnt by any other way.

In a beautiful white dress
walking down the AISLE.
With such a grace & an
unforgettable SMILE.

I was standing still and wishing
the time would never END.
While she was handed over
in someone else's HAND.
One sided love always hurts..But the best part is, no one can share this with you

THE AFTER EFFECTS
Udit Vashishth Sep 2018
The After Effects
After hours of hearing her sweet voice
that drifts me to sleep every night.
Sometimes softly that I shrink in my bed,
occupying a very little space just like
a snail  getting into its shell for sleep.
And sometimes scolding me just like
a mother would do & sends me to sleep
& I would go to sleep like a sincere child
following his mom's command.

After those beautiful hours of my
meditation session,
My favourite soothing music,
My best part of the whole day,
Comes to an end
when the sun rises.
In the morning when I'm already awake.
(I don't wait for this moment to come.)
I now stay awake hoping today.....
today might be the day when she won't leave.

Her first deep breath in the morning,
Followed by an adorable yawn &
stretching of the body just like a cat does.
"Good morning" she whispered.
That's when my day actually starts.
That's when the sun, for me, rises.

I won't say anything(I know that's weird)
But just because I want to stay calm &
listen to those breaths and whispers
one more time which will leave an
everlasting impression on my mind
& I could, somehow, spend the rest of the day,
thinking about her and wait for the night to come.

"Now it's time to go" whispered her voice again.
I feel like a prisoner who was just enjoying
his talk with someone special over phone
but on either side of that glass.
I would give her a sweet kiss & she would
smile(I can see that smile)& say goodbye.
A clickety-clackety sound of her earphones,
Then

Silence!

I could now only hear the noise of my fan.
And
My own heartbeat.
The after effects when she leaves, are really so drastic...

Perfect two

TODAY I'M IN LOVE
Udit Vashishth Aug 2018
Today, I'm flying so high.
High up in the sky.
Above the bed of clouds.
Above the mountains and
the blue oceans.
From here I could even see
the curvature of this earth.

Today, my pursuit of happiness is complete.
I feel like the happiest man on earth.
I have got a wide and blushing smile
that is not getting off my face.
I can feel the pounding of my heart
inside my chest I don't know how.
But believe me, this feeling is amazing.

I was this inconspicuous creature before.
Like no one has ever noticed.
But today, I've got so many eyes on me.
Some eyes are surprised while
others are jealous.
And In the midst of all of this,
I can't resist the feeling of blossoming
love inside me.

And there's this woman I love,
The most beautiful that words aren't enough
To describe her beauty.
Beauty of heart and soul which only
I've seen.
I fear that this world would steal her away.
I want to scream her name, out loudly,
But at the same time, I want no one to know about her.

So, today I'm flying really high
without any wings.
I don't care how drastic the fall is gona be.
All I know now is, I am above everything.
Because
today is the day when nothing seems wrong.
Today, I am in love.
Love is a feeling above all emotions...

— The End —
