Deewana

Gar koi hasaaye tumhe,

Gar koi rulaaye tumhe,

Sambhal jao, dil thaam lo,

Yahi wo deewana hai jiski talaash thi tumhe...

Dil ki kashmakash 
ko mita kar,

Haath thaam lo deewane ka!

I am me

I am me and nothing can change me,

This is the best version of me, 

Nothing can change that!

The radiance and glow may scorch some, 

it may warm some,

But this is me!

My words may hit some, warm others,

But my love is undying and unconditional,

That's me - whole, soul, pure!

My choices maybe bizarre, but they are mine.

My feelings are also mine, failures too!

But that's just me!

Rainy Soliloquies

My heart was screaming for help, no one was there.

When I cried tears of blood, no one came to wipe it.

I was lonely, kept looking for someone to appear in the oblivion.

Someone who would hold my hand and tell: all is well

Someone who would love me unconditionally, 

Someone to tell me I am right,

Someone to hold me tight and tell me not to cry

Someone to say “I am proud of you”

Someone to say “I love you for what you are, who you are”!

Tears kept flowing down my cheek,

Eyes flooded with tears, 

A plea to the heavens for mercy.

A shattered soul full of questions, 

looking for answers.

A void in the heart, a chasm in my existence,

Identity at stake, wishing I was dead.

A pair of tiny hands reach out to me,

Small eyes full of hope looking up to me,

A hug and a kiss, a touch full of hope,

saying, “I love you, momma”.

The heart went aflutter again, 

A soul rejuvenated, revived!
