Winters

You were

Like a blizzard

Severe, chilling

I was

Like a snow storm

Cold , freezing

Both winters

Of different kinds

Yet sadly similar

In our coldness

That isolated

All those

Who mattered

In our life

2 AM Poetry

The incessant rain 

Has stopped now

A strange melancholy

Envelopes everything

The birds huddle

In the trees quietly

My words, drenched

Sit numb, silently

The need to express

No longer there

The lonely night

Subdued, wet and tired

Retires, finally

And so do I

    And so do I....

Perspective

He and She

Emotionally

Dependent

Attached

To each other

He loved

Because

He needed

Others

To love him

She loved

Because

She just did.

Loving Myself

I have learnt to love myself

And I do it so well too

All that I do is be what I am

And to myself be always true

I love the sound of my laugh

It's infectious and liberates me

That twinkle in my eyes

And the expressions of glee

I gracefully accept my flaws

And I revell in all my truths

I lovingly tend to the creases

To make my being smooth

I'm brave and confident

Complete in myself and whole

Creative and forever evolving

And as wise as an old soul

I am a work in progress

Myself I must first fulfill

For if I don't love myself 

I don't think anyone else will

Aimless Wandering

Songs with no rhythm

Poems without rhyme

Stories with no endings

And soft unheard sighs

No smiles to welcome

No tears of goodbyes

Life that remains forever

Aimless, and futile

तुम

भूले बिसरे जो आ जाये

वो खयाल हो तुम

जिसका मिले न जवाब

वो सवाल हो तुम

मेरी हर परेशानी का

समाधान हो तुम

अनायास चेहरे पे जो आ जाए

वो मुस्कान हो तुम

पथराई सी आँखों में

एक आस हो तुम

न हो करीब मगर दिल के

फिर भी पास हो तुम

जो बुझ न सके कभी भी

ऐसी प्यास हो तुम

जो बयां ना हो कभी किसी से

वो जज़्बात हो तुम

जो भी हो, जैसे भी हो,

मेरे लिए तो ख़ास हो तुम...
