When Time Stood Still

Image
Amidst the vibrant temple crowd,             As I kept my first foot on the holy ground,   My eyes met a sight so divine, That could make constellations intertwine… The moon and the sun knelt on the floor, A dazzling golden light entered through every door.   Like passionate flames of magic and fire, All dressed up in a single attire. The blue majesty ablaze with wisdom anew, Flakes of love in the air recently blew, Fire glow like a heaving bosom, My eyes stunned with growing enthusiasm, The vigorous inferno at once intimidating, This scene, however, wasn’t frightening, Why was all this happening? A sudden transition took place, The lights revealed a beautiful face! Blinded I stood, by the depth of those eyes, Brilliant blue He was, like the infinite skies! The heat in the surroundings subsided, As victorious musical notes and rhythms collided. The red sizzling floor turned into pure white snow, Cryst...

Struck by Yesterday

Image
Heart lingers, In the times of past... Where skies were blue and birds, singers. Why do they not last? Clouds overshadow the fresh breeze, Steal our smiles, Take away everything with ease... We learn to walk long miles, All alone, heart in void, We yearn for that bit, When we unapologetically enjoyed, When friends did not split, When love flourished in every pure soul, When music wasn't needed to fall asleep, When excelling wasn't the only goal, When we didn't shut the door to weep, When kids didn't need therapies, And gardens echoed with their winsome, When people had their talks with their teas... When we weren't busy to meet our loved ones, When people knew who lived next door, And dishes travelled every neighbor's home, Memories eroded to the shore, Unlike loam, Sands forget everything, slip away, The waves that once swelled in the sea, Disappear on their destined way, All that we're left with, Is nostalgia in play!

Symphony of the Senses

Image
    I'm someone who's deeply moved by emotions that are conveyed through words in the form of musical notes. The deepest regions of my heart uncover themselves to music without hesitation. According to me, music in itself is a form of meditation. Just like, you've got the whole of a music platform to choose from and you can pick up exactly what you want to according to your mood. And there you make your playlists-a perfect mix of all songs, your go to!     Imagine coming home after a long day, tired, and unwinding with a soothing ghazal (if in your 30s) or a slow pop song (if my age or older)—it’s blissful! Heartbroken? Arijit Singh or Anuv Jain validate your emotions. If missing someone, “Photograph” by Ed Sheeran hits just right. Questioning life? “Shallow” by Lady Gaga offers reflection. In a happy mood? Play “Senorita” by Shawn and Camila. To play an old number, “Take My Breath Away” never disappoints. At a party and eager to dance? Bollywood classics...

Unspoken Strength

Image
Do whatever it takes to remember when I'll arrive. Mark the date, jot me down – just ensure I'm in your mind, But I’ll never return at the same hour again! Next month, I'll visit, bringing more of my pain. I come as I wish, without care or a plan, To disrupt your comfort whenever I can. Regardless of your exams or trips, I'll knock at your door, making you crave for salty chips. Each minute I’m here, you'll feel the sting, An ache so deep that only I can bring. When my wrath ignites, you'll stare death in the face, As cramps crush you, leaving no grace. Needles will prick you, every second a test, Making you long for just a moment of rest. That white dress you wore so carefree and bright, Will feel out of place as I draw near, taking your light. Still, so gracefully, you bear me with poise, Serving your family, fulfilling your roles. At the office or home, with a smile so warm, You endure my agony as if it's the norm. But make no mistake, one error I seize, ...

The Only Friend

Image
It just takes one soul, To change the way you think... A person who wouldn't let you fall,  Whose bond with you wouldn't shrink. Such a gem is rare to find, One of its own kind! With whom you never intended to be close, But it's just true friendship, like clear river flows. Being besties, Sharing your pleasure and sorrows, I never believed in a friendship so true, That friend who proved me wrong, all I say, thank you!

The Man Who Made Me!

Image
The day I opened my eyes, I saw my fortune reaching the skies! 'Cause someone worked all day for me, And yet when he looked at me, His tiredness would flee... I was a little girl so sweet, Whom like a princess he would treat! He made me eat, we played and laughed,  How long would his love last? I grew up, he worked the same, Frenzy of emotions in me like a flame! He went in the day, came at night, Worked so hard and was always my pride! I always sung him a song, Before he left to work for long. When he came back home, We played and had fun! My old buddy, the only one! He sung lovely songs for me... And I went to a peaceful sleep, On my forehead, his hand he would keep, To check if I'm sleeping deep. I wonder how a human could never get tired,  But he was a hero, got me all I desired! A rough, hard-working person, Whose soul as sweet as a flower! Who worked every hour, And looked after me with his super power. Now I'm quite grown, My love for him can't be shown, In simpl...

As Endless as the Desert Horizon - “Waiting!”

Image
Waiting since a long time, Every moment seems to define, The level of patience, The upcoming suspense! Nothing is achieved without a wait, Nothing comes straight! It may be an exciting wait for a phone call, Or the sweet long wait for a special person after all! It can be the anxious wait for an exam result, Or the monotonous wait at the doctor’s clinic to consult… The cheerful wait of a young child for his birthday, what next! Or the annoying wait for a person’s text! A determined student’s long, patient wait, For being successful and great! Or an impoverished person’s longing, For his nights to turn into days of spring! An old lady’s breathless wait for her children to return home, When it’s so difficult to live all alone! Or a sick man on his death bed, Begging to God for a peaceful end! As painful as an arrow stabbing the heart, Tick-tick of the clock bothering from the start! As annoying as the bee’s buzz! As messed up as fuzz… As sa...
