शांति


बहुत शांति है यहाँ 
कोई सैलाब नहीं इस समंदर में 
धड़कनें भी थोड़ी धीमी हैं 
तेरे और मेरे दिलों की 
बेचैनी नहीं है कोई 
न कोई फाँसले दरमियाँ हैं 
किसी बात का डर भी नहीं 
न किसी रफ़्तार की न किसी मंज़िल की तलाश है 
बहुत शांति है यहाँ 
एक तू है, एक मैं हूँ 
और ये गहरा समंदर है 
लहरें हैं कुछ पर बेताब नहीं 
आसमाँ भी उदास नहीं कि आफ़ताब नहीं

Storyteller


I used to call myself a storyteller
I thought I always have many stories
That needed to be told
That needed to come out
But I am thinking for last few days
Do I have any story to tell you?
May be many, may be none
Today I cant find any one
Though I want to tell you
About every atom that makes me Me
My hopes, desires, dreams
My regrets, experiences, schemes
My fears, darkness, screams.
I am open to you like an ocean
It's you who has to explore
You will find the hidden pearls
Keep diving till the core.
I am not really a puzzle
As the world thinks I am
Sometimes I think that too
That I am too complicated, 
But is that true that I am?
I am a blabbermouth I know
But I don't have a story today
I am a silent story in myself
If you listen what I can't say.

I wish


I wish we could talk all day long and night.
I wish that, but I wish so much more
I would have stared at your eyes as you would talk to me.
Observe the curves of your lips as they form words.
I will see in your eyes when your imagination goes wild
And you picture the whole world with me.
I would love your hair and out of the blue I would just ruffle them.
And when you suddenly stop talking and ask me "what happened", 
I would smile and say "nothing".
We would talk in words, we would talk in silences,
We will stare at each other with eyes closed.
I wish we could talk all day long and night.

I remember you


I remember you..
Like a shadow,
Sometimes appearing with sun but still always there.
Like a breeze,
Whose soft presence you can always feel.
Like a star,
Who would always be your guiding angel when all is lost and forgotten.
I remember you,
As you were there for me then,
As you are here for me now.
I remember you,
As you are.

But I want to see you again,
Soon...
Coz this memory isn't enough for me.
I want to look into your eyes,
More deeply this time.
I would read everything 
That you never say to me.
I want to know how it feels like 
To touch you
Are you really real?
How it feels like
To hold your hand?
I want to lean on your shoulder 
And forget that another world exists.
I want to whisper to you
And keep looking at your eyes.
And admire my best discovery in life.
I want to touch your face
And remember every freckle.
And all this while,
I want to remember you.

I will be your deep ocean
And you can be the diver
All the mysteries yours to unravel.

And I love you.

Letter


I often write to you in my head
All the things that I never say
I need you to know what clouds 
My mind all night and day 

I think about this distance 
That's spread for miles and miles
And the thought of just seeing you
Gives me jitters, makes me smile

And I wonder what you see 
In this crazy psycho me
That you're losing sleep and peace 
That you're falling on your knee

But I think about us the most
Are we real or just a dream?
I pinch myself to check
But doesn't work it seem

You say you love me so much
And show me the utmost care
But you're so afraid of some daemon
Who haunts you as nightmare

I want you to know that I am 
Standing forever tall beside you
You need not feel lost or scared
I'm here when its pink and its blue

There is so much more to say
But may be in another letter
Till then, just stay strong
Together we can make it better

तू वहाँ


तू वहाँ जागता है रातों को 
और यहाँ चैन मेरा खोता है 
कि तुझे ख़्वाब एक हसीं आए 
कोई बीज रोज़ बोता है 
न रहे तन्हा तू न दिल तेरा 
इसी आस में दिल रोता है

She paused her day chores to talk to him.
He paused her call to carry on with his day.
