Oblivion

She didn't want to push him to limits.. But she probably did...

She wanted to always understand him, but she probably didn't...

A smile on his face put one on hers, he could see it...

But his silence made her sad, and he had no hint...

Complicated

He observed her keenly,
She was unaware..

The way he looked at her,
She didn't dare to stare!

His eyes contained deep oceans,
So did her heart!

They were in love,
Everyone could see that spark!

But they never ended together,
Neither fell apart!

Journey

She loved the destinations,
She needed someone who could show her,
That the journey is more beautiful!! 

Goodbye..

There you stood..

Waving me goodbye..

I got into my car,

Capturing you in my eye...

You let me go,

And I wondered why!

You don't feel the way I do,

And a little, inside I die..

You gave me a smile,

Return of which I couldn't deny..

I wanted you to ask me to stay,

But you didn't comply...

You warmed my heart,

As you held my Hand..

Assured me that soon,

We would meet again!!

Breaking down is good..

What do you do?

When you are walking the road towards your goal,

And you have to take just a few steps more towards touching it..

But you feel too tired!

You break down..

Like you can't do it anymore..

Like you might just not be able to make it..

You see your destination..

And you just have a little more to go!

But your senses seem to give up..

You keep telling yourself..

'Just a little more'

But it's getting tough to keep up..

You want to stop..

You want to breakdown..

You need some support

Some motivation...

But you don't see anyone around you..

You feel lost..

Passer byes tell you to get up,

They tell you the destination is close by..

But it's been too much for you..

However you don't want to give up..

You try... 

Look for a reason to carry on..

The enthusiasm...

You take small steps at a time..

Or may be you just crawl..

You might even be slower than a tortoise..

You might not be able to give it enough..

You get mad at yourself for not being able to live upto your own expectations..

But hey! 

It's been harsh on you! 

You are tired! 

Don't blame yourself!

Be your own back-up.. 

Be proud that you are trying.. 

That you are daring enough to push yourself beyond your limits..

To hold on to it!

Doesn't matter that everyone already finished this race..

That they already reached that milestone..

Believe in yourself.. 

You have to be with yourself forever!

You just have to keep going..

You will be there!

And you will be ready and stronger for what lies beyond!

Don't give up yet!

Breakdowns happen so you can put yourself together again... 

And it's upto you to decide How!

His warm embrace!

His warm embrace,
Was where she wanted to be..
In his arms, was
Where she felt safe.

His warm embrace,
Was where she forgot all straits..
In his words, was
Where she found insight.

His warm embrace,
Was where she went in despair..
In his smile, was
Where she found solace.

His warm embrace,
Was where she Lost herself..
In his eyes, was
Where she can saw her soul.

If only I knew..

I imagine the day,
When you would,
See all the bandages that I've used,
To hide my wounds..

All those flaws!

I imagine the day,

When you would,

Remove them all and see,

How deep those cuts are...

All that darkness!

But I don't know,

Whether you would,

Cut me deeper,

Or heal me with your love...

Fix what is broken!

         

"When are you coming back!!?" Read an old sent text message on her phone.

"Never" Replied his changed behaviour towards her..

मुस्कान!

वो चलते रही, बढ़ते रही..

औरों को ख़ुश देखने के लिये,

अपने चेहरे की हँसी उन्हें देते रही।

न जाने कब आया वो दिन,

के जब औरों में थी उसकी ख़ुशी,

और वो ख़ुद मुस्कुराना भूल गई!

Wondering... Why are we sometimes afraid of letting go...
Afraid of being forgotten and left alone...
We came in this world alone Afterall...
Met people, starting with our parents...
We make them all a part of ourselves..
It's scary when we sometimes think what place do we hold in someone's life...
Whether we are as important to them as they are to us..
We are possessive of some, some might be possessive of us..
Some are special to you, while you might not be as special to them..
But why worry! It's all okay!
You still have to smile and get along with your life..
Because Afterall, it's your journey..
The one you have to complete on your own..
And you are the only one who will be with you at all times..
Give what you can.. Love, happiness, care...
Less of attachment and pain, more of  love and happiness...
But most importantly,
Be there for yourself.. Make it worth...

BFFs

She called her up and said, "Damn! I miss you! You didn't text me in last 12hrs! Are you okay?"

Her friend smiled on the other end and thought, 'That's why we need best friends!!' 😊

Irreplaceable bonds

They could talk non stop,

For her, everything he would drop.

Laughter ,smiles ,tears and cries,

With him she could easily share.

Her best friend she called him

And may be he did too.

No matter how many fights,

No matter that they fell apart,

No matter that they no more talked.

A little worry on one's face,

And towards each other they'd pace.

Because a friend like that no one could replace.

Feelings

A tear rolled down her cheeks,
Happy or sad she didn't understand.
Her emotions wore a disguise.
For outside the door was the man,
Whose feelings she didn't know.
But through his ways he made her feel,
Like he was one of her own.

She knew not what to think,
When he comforted her in her weak.
Were they just friends or in love?
She didn't know what's in his soul.
She wiped the tear and walked out the door,
To the man who waited to show,
The feelings in his heart that she didn't know.

Broken hearts!

He was walking down the road
With happiness filled in his heart
She met him on a crossing
He saw her as a blessing

Through her sorrows and her joys
And the light he saw in her eyes
He took detours on his way
To see the pretty way she smiles

He wore his heart on his sleeves
And he knew so did she..
But their paths were not the same
It was life's favourite game..

She met another on a crossing
Whom she saw as a blessing
She gave away her heart
And was left torn apart

When They met again
She was walking down the lane
He gave her his heart
She broke it apart..

Ummeed

 Har ek Subah sath le aati hai ek nayee umeed...
Zindagi me kuch alag karne ki ummeed...
Jo kal tha use sudharne ki aur jo kal aayega use sawarne ki ummeed...

Kabhi bhul jaate hai hum.. Dono kal ki soch me doobe..
Ki aaj ko thoda jee to le...aaj ki ummeedoṅ pe khare to utre...
Warna fir ulajhan me fas jayenge kal aur kal ko liye... To fir na jaane kab jeeyein...

Kuch to aisa kare.. K kal jab hum beete kal ko dekhe..
 To khud pe garv ho.. Ke choṭi hi sahi humane koshish to ki... 
Thoda hi sahi, khul ke jee to liye, zara sa Mann se muskura to diye...

Aj ki galati se seekho... Warna fir wahi doharaoge...
 Kal apni hi nazroṅ se nazreiṅ churaoge...
Aage nai baḍh sakte jab tak wo beete kal ki beḍiyaṅ nai khologe..

अनजान रास्ते

अकेले अनजान रास्ते पे चले,
राह में लोग हज़ारों मिले..

कुछ कहे साथ चलो कुछ दूर,
कुछ बस बिन देखे निकल गये..

कुछ हाथ पकड़ के आगे ले गए,
कुछ धोखा दे वही छोड़ गए...

सपनों को पाने कि चाह लिए,
फिर उठे और तनहा चल दिए...

जब गिरे लड़खड़ाए टूट गए,
वापस पीछे जाने को बस मुड़ गए..

पलट के देखा तो थे वो साये,
जिनकी उँगली पकड़ बचपन में क़दम आगे थे बढ़ाए..

कहा 'डरो मत, हम साथ है तुम्हारे,
बस आगे चलो, सपने है तुमको पाने'..

नई उम्मीद और भरोसे के सहारे,
फिर मुड़ गए उस राह को निहारे...

चल दिए फिर वही अनजान रास्ते,
राह में जहाँ लोग हज़ारों मिले...

Reflections!!

She wanted a keeper..
A keeper of her heart,
A keeper of her darkness,
A keeper who would never leave her...

She wanted a believer,
A believer of her strength,
A believer of her dreams,
A believer who would stand with her..

She wanted a protector,
A protector of her smiles,
A protector of her own evils,
A protector who keeps alive the child in her..

And as she opened her eyes,
She saw a figure...
Smiling back at her...
It was her OWN reflection in the mirror.

Her world

And suddenly she was all quiet.
Trying to talk to someone who would not quit on her.
But all she could hear was the silence in that empty room.
A place where she let her thoughts flow.

As much as she wanted to be around everyone,
It sometimes felt as a chaos where she didn't belong.
Little did she know,
That she was the world which some longed!
