Wonderful poem Vyapti, relevant to the present situation. 👏
These cruel heart breakers are big losers. They'll never know the real beauty of a woman's heart.
nice thoughts madhu di 👏

I will not say sorry.
Whatever I have said
Has hurt you.
It ought to.
But pain is all I have,
I can offer you that only.
You are thirsty
Thirsty for my love.
Whatever I offer you
To you it symbolizes love.
Be it pain, insult, ridicule
Or the occasional smile.
What was that in your eyes?
Pain?
Pain of separation?
Or pain of helplessness?
You helplessly wanted
To stop me from getting hurt
And yet.
So strange is not it?
You are respected
You respect me
But I am not respected.
Love has made you vulnerable.
Or has it made you strong?
Do not you feel betrayed
Even for a second?
The woman who was
A source of inspiration for you
Has become a volcano of pain.
Do not you feel betrayed?
I feel as if
You feel glad for this.
You are grateful to love
For giving this soul stirring pain.
Never before
Have I seen you
This forlorn.
Is it because
You are no longer afraid
To express it?
Or is it because
Now I can observe it
Because now I am aware
Of the right
To observe it?
Your sweet voice
Felt forlorn.
Your jokes seemed forced.
You were trying hard
To find out that lost smile
That unruly smile of mine.
I could not stare at your eyes
For more than a moment.
A burning sensation
In the heart
Forced me to lower my eyes.
Or is that
What the poets call
A woman's embarrassment?
I felt like
Breaking down
The glass wall
That separates us.
I got enraged.
Why is the glass wall
There between us?
When we
Desire each other
So deeply?
Who is responsible
For it?
I do not know.
That ignorance
Transformed into a rage
To myself
And burnt my heart.
But your lovelorn eyes
Spoke a thousand unspoken words.
It said
"I will never judge you.
I will always love you
No matter what."
.
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.”
So beautiful. So inspiring. ❤️
Fragrance
I will go to a different world
Where there will not be
Any single person in between.
I will lose myself
In the woods that are
Lovely dark and deep.
The promises that are to keep
Will loosen themselves from the branches,
Fall one by one like raindrops.
Pristine white drops of flower
Lie on the earth
Surround the tree.
The scent of rain soaked earth
Will enchant the forest.
I am running
In between the trees
The sky hidden between
The canopy of leaves.
The sunrays playing hide n seek.
I am on a swing,
You come from behind
Cover my eyes.
" Who am I?"
You ask.
"The one with soft hands"
I retort.
You pick up
A mud soaked pink flower
And put it on my entangled hairs.
Playing with mud wearing those
Expensive clothes!
The leaves start to murmur
The trance is over
Was it all a dream?
I look for the flower in my hair,
It is not there.
"Come once again.
Tell me it is not a dream."
I murmur silently.
I look around
Find nothing.
But my whole body is
Emitting the fragrance of that flower
The familiar yet unfamiliar fragrance
That marks you
Wherever you go.

The love symbol
Still has an effect on me.
Though at this moment
I want to punch you hard
On nose.
You revengeful!
Do you have no other business?
Always torturing me?
You fool!
How many times
Have I asked you to kill me?
You did not.
You shall not
No not so early.
You will keep me
In this torture chamber
Smear me with love.
Then the moment
I begin to think
That you are mine
I shudder.
I have been sentenced to
Imprisonment with hard labour
For what crime
I don't know.
Yet I am in love
With the jailor.
He loves me with everything
And yet tortures me.
Why dear?
Who knows?
Because I have dared to love you?
Forgetting the gap
That can not be bridged.
Because I have dared to question you?
Your justice.
Because I have dared to indulge myself?
Forgetting the hard labour.
Every pain that gets
Inflicted here
Hurts you.
Is that why
It hurts me so much?
Why can not I forget it?
Oblivious to the pain
They make merry.
Why can not I?
Give me a painkiller.
No I won't take it
I will suffer with you
All the pain we inflict on each other.
But then
They make merry
Take painkiller
Do hard labour
Alleviate your pain.
I can feel the pain
Can burn in it
But can not cure it
Not even a drop.
I will leave this pain behind.
Let us go elsewhere.
There in my closed eyes
You sing lullaby
"I have never tasted such love
Don't leave me."
Then at that very moment
I remember them
The debts I carry.
How can I indulge in love
They are rotting there.
They toil day and night
Make the staircase
Through which we escape
The walls of the prison.
Guilt engulfs me,
Where are you?
I return there.
Try to lessen their pain.
It lessens.
Then suddenly
At some moment
I hurt them.
The painful shriek.
I should leave them alone
And come with you.
Why do you
Love this failure
In spite of everything?

"Mother!"
Don't dare you call me mother!
From now on I will kill you
Each and everyone of you
Before you are born.
They say motherhood is a blessing.
I say
It is a curse
The worst curse of all!
One day I suckled you
That stops me from killing you
Only if I could!
To me
You are my son.
To you I am a thing
A vulnerable thing
To be exploited at will.
An object of mudslinging!
You fight with each other
No you don't fight with each other!
For you the only way of fighting
Is to hurl abuse at the mother.
Better perhaps
It doesn't reach her ear!
If it is a fight between
You and her
It hurts your manliness
To accept defeat.
You are only left with
One single way
To assert your manliness
The way you love so much!
We cower down.
We are cursed
Cursed with motherhood.
A curse that doesn't leave us
Even for a second.
We can not fight
A child is tied to us
Lest it be hurt.
So I am telling you
Don't call me mother.
Call me a corpse
Dear vulture,
That is what I am!
