Eternal soul dance

In the garden where
love does bloom,

A sweet enchantment
starts to loom,

Hand in hand,
hearts intertwined,

A love so pure, so unconfined.

Under the canvas of the sapphire skies,

Where every moment truly flies,

In laughter shared and joy so deep,

Love's promises, forever to keep.

A dance of souls, both wild and free, 
In your eyes, my world I see,

Whispers soft as the morning light,

Love so strong, it takes its flight.

In gentle touches, passion's fire,

A love that never will tire,

A melody played by two hearts in tune,

Underneath the endless moon.

With every sunrise, love does grow,

A river that continues to flow,

A tapestry woven,
strong and bright,

A beacon through
both day and night.

Your laughter, like a melody,

Resounds within,
sets my heart free,

In your arms, I've found my home,

In this love, we'll eternally roam.

In happy love, we both have found,

A bond that echoes, all around,

In every smile, in every tear,

Our love story, forever dear.

Afsaana

Afsaana thi ya koi bala,

Ishq ho gaya hamein usse,

Chahat ban gayi thi woh.

Khoobsoorat the nain-naksh,

Dil par chhap gayi thi woh

Bas ek khata hui dil-e-nadaan se,

Aur ishq na kar saki woh

Khwaab

Ek waqt tha jab main tumhara naam chahti thi,

Ek waqt tha jab main tumhari hona chahti thi,

Ek waqt tha jab main bahot kuchh chahti thi,

Meri kuchh khwahishein thi, sapne the,

Kuchh banne ka khwaab tha,

Bas woh bahot kuchh kahin ghum ho gaya,

Yahi sochti reh gayi ki kahan kho gaya,

Jab kaanch tootta hai toh har jagah awaaz goonjti hai,

Par jab khwaab aur dil tootte hain, toh sirf rooh ko pata lagta hain

Khwaab, dil aur rooh barbaad huye,

Bura waqt saaye ki tarah mandraata raha,

Sabne kaha ki bura waqt dhal jaayega,

Par ye nahi kaha ki yahi waqt muskurahat bhi cheen legi. 

Tumne kaha tha ki tum meri kismat badal doge,

Par iss tarah se, ye nahi maloom tha!

Crosscurrents

So many thoughts engulf me,

Scare me, put my wits on edge.

Fears of the unknown plague a wounded soul,

Hungry, wild thoughts gnaw, threaten to break the mind's equilibrium.

Breathing raggedly, the heart thumps wildly at the doors,

Wet palms, trembling fingers shake a glass of water,

Setting in motion the vibrations at the surface.

Bubbling from within, crosscurrents of feelings

Raising goosebumps,

Frayed nerves reach a boiling point,

Convection currents cause the uppermost calm to sink,

Innermost turmoil bubbles over, spills, scalds the thin skin of emotions

Scarring mind, body and soul!

Years pass by, 

Scars darkened by the volcanic lava of emotional outbursts, turn numb

Dead skin gives way to new skin cells

Ugly, old scars buried.

Happiness resonates in a love-starved soul.

Wind chimes ringing in the chambers of the heart

Soulful music ensconces, encompasses, engulfs the body,

Sweet melody whispers in the ear, 

Passing by like a flutter in the wind, 

A breeze laced with the fragrance of nectar, 

drugs me into a soulless sleep.
