Rogue

I wonder
what happens
In the dark corners of your mind
When no one is reading you.

I wonder
if in those moments too
You are able to hide
the stains
on your conscience.

Sonder

The imagery
Of the darkness
That lies within them
Behind them
Is condescending.

Is it a curse
Or a blessing
To be wanting to hold on to life
Despite.

May be I'm in love
With the darkness.

A pleasure it is
To be able to
see the glow worms though
To be able to
Live.

Raat

Ai raat

Teri aankho se dekhte hain jab khud ko

Thodi si roshan…thodi si purnoor

Zindagi dikhaayi deti hai

Shor ke nishaan peechhe chhod kar

Jab tu aati hai dabe paanv

Tere syaahi se kaalepan me

Khamoshi ki awaaz

Sunaayi deti hai

Ai raat

Tu nahi dhalegi yunhi

Kisse kahaniyaan, loriyaan

Aur ishq ko

Sunsaan chhod kar

Tere chaand ki roshni

Tere sitaaron ki chamak

aur tere veeraan saaye

ye sab

ab mere hain.

Do you lie?

Twisting my spine
Having my feet torn
Mustering my entire strength
I try to chase and match
The outstripping peace of my mind

One more attempt
To lure her into staying

And my restatements
Of how I have the arrangements
To keep her safe
To not lose her again

A gaze
A smirk
And she asks me back
Do you lie?
