A Story

Mesmerizing night is absorbing the moon and cool breeze is confirming its pride in her small but deep eyes. As if she is melting and getting absorbed into the sea erupted within her. It's not that something just happens, actually it's something that has to happen. That's how it is when moments start defining you the way you are, the way you have to be, a story box. Your closed eyelids often open that story box to read a story at a time and it's beyond words. It's amazing to discover a book within you, it's awesome to read one story besides the stary night. A story.....

Mid of the night...!

Mid of the night
when decides
to finally liberate
the burning heart
melting through eyes

Mid of the night
when confirms
the humiliation
must end
crawling through cries

Mid of the night
when declares
the peace within
A journey to self
A flight to skies.....

....Like the Desert misses the Rain...!!

On a lonely road step by step
you were all set to speedup
the Train of your Dreams
Twinkles in eyes
Elation in thighs
and lungs were filled
with Hurricane
Every-time you reached there
just to confirm,
this was not the place
Where you did belong......
No, you never knew about the traps
No, you never knew the faulty gaps
Your moves were for water
but you ended up
as a Thirsty Wanderer
You knew now....
Mirage never quenches the thirst
just increases the intensity.
You collect your thirsty self
and walk again
like the Desert misses the Rain

When stories don't end... !

When stories
don't end
neither do break
As if old leafs
refuse to shed
and new leafs
continue the chain....
of quivering thoughts....
A war of existence remain
to sustain the yearning
of burning hearts

तेरा फितूर... !!!

तू आज भी अज़ीज़ है,

यूँ तो उम्र गुज़र गयी..

मेरी तिश्नगी की रहगुज़र
तेरे हाशिये में सिमट गयी

मेरे वजूद में तेरा फितूर है
मेरे अदब को तेरा गुरूर है
मेरी ख़ामख़ा की बंदिशें
तेरी सरहदों में मिट गयीं !

अर्चना

Away not Apart !!

Seconds
Minutes and for Hours
Most of the time
You are Away
yet not Far
Your impression
All over... ....
Your marks remain
on my Heart...

Days
Weeks and for Months
You are away
but not Apart
Your rhythm
All over
Your beats remain
in my Heart !!!

Dil hai Chota sa - Choti si Aasha....

 It was a cozy winter evening in Mount-Abu February 2011. I was heading towards the Sun-Set point to inhale the essence of the Mountains wrapped in chilled breeze and warm Sun-Shine. Oxymoron attracts me.
On the way I found this small girl lost in weaving colourful dreams in her curious eyes. When eyes speak we actually don't need words.
I stood still and kept watching her silently until she herself got distracted and smiled looking at me.

I warmly approached her and whispered in her ears "Dil hai Chota sa, Choti si Aasha - Aasmaano ko choone ki Aasha...Hai na?" (Small Heart with small Hopes...Hopes to touch the skies... isn't it?) and listening this she burst into the exuberant laughter followed by a non-stop smile.

Her giggles still echo in me and leave me smiling flawlessly.
