Question
You think
You have won
In this game of love?
No Dear,
You are mistaken.
You are
You were
And you always will be
A loser.
You have tried all your strengths,
You have tried all your tricks,
You have even erased my existence
Completely.
Yet that non existent me
Continues to love you.
Which victory can be sweeter than this?
Empathy
Leave a kiss below my eyes,
Your thirst will be quenched
By my tears.
I will feel the glow of your lips
On my eyes.
Will I get out of this maze
Of dream and nightmare?
I no longer want to know.
Because our feet are red
By the same thorns.
Submission
"Your hands are so beautiful!"
You find these hands beautiful!
Really?
You want to paint these hands.
But why?
These tender hands will be of no use to you.
They only long for your beauty.
They want to touch you
To feel you
To lose themselves in you.
You fight
You fight with the world
You take all the pain on yourself
To shelter me.
You have so many choices.
So many women are waiting to be
Your life partner.
If I were not selfish
I would say
“Go marry one of them.
They will be your true partner.
They will fight alongside you.”
But that too I cannot utter
Because
I cannot live
Without you.
You long for
Selfless love.
Even that
I cannot give you.
Do you love me
Out of sympathy?
Because this destitute needs you?
After all your kindness is well known.
But even that is not true.
A love based on sympathy alone
Cannot be so deep.
My insult
My tears
My smile
Everything echoes in your whole being.
Love blinds people,
But you are above that.
Then why?
“I give myself to you
Because
Only you are worthy of it.
Because
You can look into my eyes.
You are the love that I long for.
Come dear
Let me find myself again
In your embrace.”
Dearest!!
Oneness
“Feel the love
Within your heart
And see
Even this logic of
Game of love
Will get invalid.”
Wow, what a logic!
But this logic
Lacks the power
To touch me.
Do you know why?
My love,
I know
You love my stubbornness.
That’s why
Whenever I try to hurt you
Your lips lighten up with smile.
The fear of causing pain
Just vanishes into thin air.
I remember
Whether anyone else understands or not
There is someone
Who always understands
What an unbearable pain
Gets expressed through this anger!
Securing me in his embrace
Planting a kiss on my forehead
He says
“I love you,
I love you Dearest,
With all your imperfections.”

Thanks a lot.
Choice
The naughtiest boy out there
Calls---
Come, let us have some mischief.
____________________________
Mischief!
At this age!
Listen,
If I start doing mischief at this age,
I will become a starved twig
Of a Shirish tree.
Do all the mischief you want
With that dry twig.
Alas,
That dry twig will not be
Able to satisfy
Your passion for mischief.
Absent minded
You will
Break it,
Throw it to the ground,
And run.
The twig will be completely broken
Under those lovely footsteps.
Will it merge with earth?
Will it become dust
And
Adorn those dusty feet?
Or
Will I not starve at all?
You know the whereabouts of so many trees here.
We will share
Sweet fruits plucked by you.
We will become
Breeze
With a hint of storm.
The breeze will dishevel
The dark locks of a girl.
She will think---
I can be breeze too.
I am coming with you
Son.
Can humanity survive
In the closed comfort of AC room?
Unless
Its locks are sometimes dishevelled
By a stormy breeze?
Nirbhaya
"May her soul rest in peace!"
They prayed.
Her soul answered
" You want my soul to rest in peace?
Then ignite the fire in your soul,
See to it that
What happened with me
Is never repeated with anyone.
Because it is my soul
That resides within every woman,
Every torture against womanhood
Will bleed my soul again and again."
Obituary
Never judge my pain.
When you tell me
“Oh you can not bear this insignificant pain!”
It burns my ears.
Remember
There is more than meets the eye.
You do not know
What I have suppressed
Under the cover of smile.
If you cannot help
Please
Do not shed crocodile tears.
My pain will be written
In golden letters
On the pages of time.
Your cowardice
Will fade you into oblivion
Before your death.
