"She Cut Her Heart"

That night she cut her heart
and the blood draped
her words on the crumpled paper.


She felt at ease,
and went to sew her heart.


"O Dear! you are precious", whispered the crumpled paper.
Her sullen eyes bathe in despair,
as she waited for years to hear these words.


"Be my lover!", she could hear the echoes.
And in that moment, when she lifted the paper
to feel her words- it purified
the crumpled paper.


Thus, the holy paper
became her secret keeper.


Because...


That night she cut her heart.

"कलम से "

उसके चले जाने से वक्त जरूर बेवफा हुआ,
पर दुआ तो आज भी वफाई की डोर पकडे हुए है ! (1)

आज सब कुछ खोकर भी
खुद को अमीर मानते हैं,
अगर अमीरी के बाज़ार में मिलती है बेवफाई,
तो अमीर होकर भी खुद को गरीब मानते हैं ! (2)

कैसे करें यकीन दिल का,
यह तो फिर यादो के समुन्दर में डूब गया ! (3)

ज़िन्दगी भी कैसे अजीब खेल खेलती है,
उसी को पाने की उम्मीद रखती है जिसे कायनात ने ठुकरा दिया ! (4)

सच की तालाश में निकले थे,
पर झूठ की अँधेरी गलियों में खो गए,
सच तो कोशिश कर रहा था रौशनी पाने की,
पर झूठ के कारखानों में बेरहमी से मारा गया ! (5)

हाथो की लकीरें तो पहले भी अपना वजूद ढून्ढ रही थी,
गुलाब से नहाकर अब कांटो से सजी हैं ! (6)

दिल तो पहले भी गुलाम बन बैठा था,
आज जब आज़ाद होना चाहता है
तो उसकी आवाज़ ने दिल में घर बना लिया ! (7)

वोह जो लिख दिया था नाम वक्त पे,
आज वही पानी की तरह बह गया कहीं दूर ! (8)

उसकी कलम मेरे दिल से यूँ जाकर टकराई,
लगता है जैसे फिर कोई कहानी शुरू होने को है ! (9)

कभी की नहीं दोस्ती रात से,
आज पूछ बैठे हाल चाँद का,
कभी अँधेरे ने की थी अलविदा,
आज पहली बार अपना सा लगा ! (10)

लिखे थे कुछ खत उनको वफाई के,
क्या पता था लौटा देंगे वो बेवफाई से,
यूँ तो वादे हज़ार कर बैठे थे वो साथ चलने के,
पर दिल को कुरेद बैठे थे राख की तरह,
आंसू तो गिरे ही थे अपनी पहचान पाने के लिए,
पर जल से गए थे मोहोब्बत की आग मिटने के लिए ! (11)

एक शाम थी ऐसी,
जो दिल में घर कर गई,
जाते जाते दुआ में सलाम दे गई ! (12)

"Lover's Letter"

It was a crimson morning- The look you gave when our eyes first met.
My pale cheeks turned red- The moment you came close and held my hand.
It was summer, yet it rained- The moment you whispered- I Love You in my ears.
Time burned and so does the sun but I was burning on the edge of something beautiful- Your love.

The sweet promises while watching an early sunrise- I will never let you go.
The tender pecks while walking on a beach- I will grow old with you.
The gentle kiss while dancing in the rain- Marry me!

It’s October (fall) yet my love is still growing strong.
Nights without you are meaningless- Shining dew drops are closer than bright sun.
Oh! My love, why can’t we float in the steamy froth together?
Let me taste the caffeine (kiss of your love) once again- I am addicted.

In the night under starry skies,
Let me hold u tight- I love you like there is no tomorrow.

"Breaking Dawn"

I am tired walking on countless rocks,
I slip and fall but there is no one to hold my hand,
I manage to surpass every hurdle, yet I fail every day.

My soul is now broken into bits and pieces; Waiting for a silver lining.
Life has lost its direction,
and I am all alone on the path of broken glasses.

No shoulder to cry on; no hand to wipe tears; no one to remove those broken bits of glasses.
There I stand still, my hands tied; I am hanged on a broken glass.
I bear; I tolerate; I smile, yet i fail every day.

I am tired, tired of walking on countless rocks,
I start as an audacious warrior but end up being a stupid mourner;
my days are all dark and grey.

When will my life face a breaking dawn?
If it does, then I would long Forever.

"Brooklyn Love"

If only i could unleash the future- I would have made u mine once again,
My love is like winter- still growing strong,
It needs no ice- it thaws down when I am in your arms.

I remember, how you proposed me on an Eiffel Tower,
I felt special- It was like eating my favourite chocolate,
The way u bend down on your knees,
You held my hand and gifted me a diamond solitaire,
My heart still beating fast and all i could utter was I Love you.

The Christmas wedding bells added a spunk to the cutest delight,
I wish, I could Marry You then,
Your sweet gesture melted my heart, like heat melts an iceberg,
I was diving in a volcano of love- every turn i took, lead me back to the start.

Your love baby is like a sweet antidote- it keeps me alive,
now, that you are mine- I would love to spend
my summer, winter, and monsoon with you.

Kiss me this Valentines baby,
I miss your gentle touch and warm delight,
Make me yours once again,
Our Brooklyn love is like Cosmo on rocks,
Still addicted, yet so erotic.

"First Rain"

Just when I flicked the calendar leaf,
My eyes got adjusted,
13^th Feb, an epic day,
It was like a home coming.

Stefan, do you remember the day?
It was our first date,
I saw you admiring me from the distance,
You never looked so handsome and desirable,
There was something erotic in you that day,
Even the atmosphere played wicked.

Your black-white combo left me jaw dropped,
My senses began to droop down,
Your red effect made me feel the moments of lifetime.

With every step you took, my heart started beating,
My answers were revealed by nature,
It rained and it rained so heavily,
But, you were too hard on your whims,
You managed to surpass that hurdle.

I was in your arms- I didn’t even notice,
I never felt safe like this before,
My body adapted yours,
My soul became your voice,
And every inch you drew me closer made me kiss you even more often.

O! Stefan, you are still on my mind,
your voice was my sweetest delight,
and your love was my pillow tight,
O! Stefan, I still miss that First Rain of our love.

"Photograph"

It's a starry night,

We have to love whole day,

But, baby now I want to marry you.

If u r not ready, like i am ready,

Even then i will wait for your yes,

Say something,

Don't be silent. It's a starry night,

We have to love whole day,

But, baby now, I want to marry you.

On that stormy night,

You disappeared like a gust of wind,

I was waiting for your yes,

Now i am left with your photograph,

I can hold it close to my heart,

Our eyes always meet,

Time is forever frozen still.

I have your photograph inside the pocket of my ripped jeans,

Waiting for you to come home,

Stay with me till sunshine,

Even if you say no, it is okay baby only words bleed,

Wait for you to come home.

My love for you connects ocean of hope,

So i can kiss you,

Forever, because you r so close,

Inside the pocket of my ripped jeans,

Wait for u to come home.

So our memories are safe in this photograph,

Our eyes will always meet,

Because baby you are so close,

I remember how u kissed me,

Upon the Westminster bridge,

Wait for u to come home,

And my love will never ever fade.

Keeping you safe in this photograph,

I will wait for you to come home.

"Tequila Sunrise"

We met on the frozen bridge,
in the escorts of whirlwind,
I saw you glancing,
and I wanted to wave back to you,
Twas the first time, my adrenaline boosted.

I didn’t know the reason of my existence,
until I met you,
I saw u passing that naughty smirk,
and I wanted to go on a cruise with you,
Twas, perhaps the first time- I felt as if I was drinking Tequila Sunrise.

I noticed your draper symbol,
For a moment, I was mesmerised,
I wanted to ask you to design one for me,
Your eyes caught my attention,
and i wanted to go on a date with you,
I realised, Twas my first time- Twas Tequila Sunrise.

My mind got engulfed with several thoughts- Will u be mine?
My heart started beating on the thoughts- what the answer would be,
Twas, the first time, I realised that my existence had meaning,
Twas, the first time, I wanted someone to take me away from the land of setting sun,
Twas the first time, my heart got lost in the island of Tequila Sunrise.

I wish, I could confess my love,
I wish, I could tell you how badly I miss you,
I wish, I could marry you,
I wish, I could be back on the island of Tequila Sunrise.

O! my love, I started loving you when we first met on the frozen bridge,
Make me yours- I promise, our love would never face any winter,
Come to me- I promise, our love will tranquilise our souls,
and the sparks of love, Forever frozen still.
Twas, perhaps the first time- I felt as if I was drinking Tequila Sunrise.

"Reminisces from the Past"

Let thy soul be my mirror,
every inch of that corner completes me,
like love should- as an everlasting Yes.

Let thy voice be my guardian,
it protects me from the bed of thorns,
and on me your words fall,
like rain drops should- as a soft murmured Yes.

Let thy heart be my faithful friend,
it purifies my soul and paints me red,
Every echo i hear, falls upon me,
like love should- as an everlasting Yes.

Day after Day,
my love for you increases like a roaring thunder,
I wish to grow old with you,
and if ever, you come to my grave,
you will find me with open eyes,
waiting for you to arrive.

Will I still Love you the same?
Yes, I will.
Your presence makes me feel alive,
it’s the only sunshine in my life,
with every tomorrow, my heart beats faster,
and the fear of losing you is more than the joy of being with you.

Oh! How you use to be my sunshine,
My love for you has never changed,
It’s like a canopy of hope,
guiding the banished ones,
my love for you never faced winter,
I can hear in my mind, your unending words,
which falls upon me, like love should- as an everlasting Yes.

I miss those morning delights, chocolate packs, and a romantic dazzle.
I miss the sweet peck on my cheeks, tender kisses, and warm hug.
I miss to be with you on Valentine’s Day,
I miss your sweet Hello and Hard Goodbye.

I am alone in the dark,
Oh! Love, please come back;
make me your voice,
until your voice adapts me- as an everlasting Yes.

My heart is gone with yours,
I have nothing left to mourn for,
and all I have is,
Reminisces, Reminisces from the past.
