Middle of no-where?

In the middle of the journey
When you reasoned
And felt, that this
is not worth it -

You quit my love.

That day
When I lost ‘you’
I found my precious self.

For love

Do you remember?

The first time we met

Exchanging the strange expressions

Unsure why the heart was beating faster

And the world seemed nicer.

The first call that you made

We talked for hours

Then wondering what the talk was about.

How we became friends

Over few cups of coffee

The ups and downs

Binding us into something known as love

That never let us live apart.

The first time we fought

Saying those words which I didn’t mean

And then consoling that life without you is a life not led.

The first time I cried

You held the tear

Said it was precious as a pearl coz it was mine.

The first time I promised

To love you forever

In that pouring rain

Where you could hardly hear.



Do remember --

No matter even if I have said it a thousand times

I am here to stay

To love you for now and for always…

Twisted wish

I want to make a wish
That my only wish must be you, love.
And if you do not wish to be with me
Then let the wishes be unwished.

Away

In between our souls
When distance embraced each parting step
I was not to choose.
So I let myself to disintegrate --
To become your dream
That could never be disowned.

Poorna

Distant

God returned you to me,
you came back and gave me my broken wings.
As we fly high -
in the light blue sky called life
trajecting a new trail,
why do you seem like a distant dream
that never realises ?

-Poorna

After a long time......

The clean white tiled room with miniscule prints
Smelling of a fragranced disinfectant
Shiny pieces of metal, artificial flowers
The television blazing in full volume
My hand on the remote zapping
Mind wondering
The rays of the noon sun
Trying to pierce through the thick curtains
The cushion beneath
Comforting the drowsy eyes
I sleep away dreaming of the serene air
Green pastures, sparkling rainbow
Captured between the four walls
Mind wanders, here and there, this and that...

Morning rays warming her dark skin
Laid as a bare body her chances of survival so thin
Eyes staring at her looking away
Hands afraid to hold her, help is just a say
Her people come and take her home
They heard someone whisper ‘rape’, their hearts doomed
She blows the pain suffering within
Trying to light the fire of revenge, never letting it sink in
Defeat is something she hates to accept
Coz with time she is going to stand on her own,
Steel strength alone reflects
Damn the world, she fights for her justice
Her purpose crystal clear, her journey never ceases
Her virtue can be stolen but not her vision
Coz the deal is the ‘strength of a woman’...
