Proclivity in twin souls

Flames frenziedly

Melts in closeness

Freezes when friend-zoned

It exists; it persists

Never dies!!

Draped a studded saree

Sprayed scented winter breezes

Night now becomes icy

awaiting him to show up

Darkest is the new moon

Often have seen you stuck
Amid being smart and schmuck
Here’s my answer to how should you?
Love me this way, if you love me too

Wake up with me at the dawn-break
Yawn, smile and kiss my forehead
Wish a good morning before I do
Love me this way, if you love me too

Avoiding me is a gross mistake
In a quick second, respond me back
At least twice a day, say “I miss you”
Love me this way...

Yes he has hurt her

Silence will confess mutely

Whining within, it will moan

For its, little bit of her own

“Unchecked and not-replied texts”

She educated them on his habits

Wiped briny drops; wouldn’t be shown

 Restive is little bit of her own

Deafened soul recalls the flashes

Of their frolicking oneness

Zipped them; faking smiles put on

Fidgeting with l...

I am in east of future

He is in west of past

Far across the distance

Something still connects us

Time zones changed

Awake at an ungodly hour

Set to confront

Surreal and factual

Ways yet inept

There’s too much on plate

To be taken care of

Yeah!  I am at odds

But not for you

Drained in the drizzles

Of first rains of the season

Peacock blue kurta is drenched

For a reason

Not that those wounds are gone

Breezes be the beacon

Yeah! I am sun-dried

But dew-soaked w...

Worldly rules are rude
Ah! Here, ends my role
Let someone tell the sea
I am leaving her shore

Wounded waves are withering
Though can’t change the course
Devout depth is abyss,
She won't stop me anymore

I adored embracing
Her shades of alluring azure
Drench in briny breezes, now
Swayed by amber to endure

More edgy of promises made
She wasn’t afraid of lies
Beneath wreckage of st...

When without you;

Scrolling; I kiss your display pictures

Seems it has become a ritual

Browsing through the reveries

Once you gave me that key-holder

I caress it as if an amulet

Just sipped-in something bitter

Navigating you inside somewhere

Can sense those flashes

Of amorousness

Arms holding me from behind

Every part of me getting unwind

Fingers flickering...

Knocked at my window

He mumbled; drove me out

Gleaming that evening was;

No one ever knew about

Quiet for a while, we stared

His “warmth” asked my plight

‘Dragged those stubborn rays; or

Faced some restless light?’

Blamed him for his betrayal

I sighed, nodded & replied;

“mine isn’t luminous like yours,

life is dull and deprived”

Ah! Borrowed is my...

I dreamt of a place to wander

A far off isle in the south

Days & nights naively ponder

Ever since I met him...

Soul drenched in reveries

Though sands were never mine

He walked some other hands

Ever since I met him…

I should have known his love

It was of time being kind

Gulping venom of a dove

Ever since I met him...

Neither did anyone glean
