December

-

 Its funny how a year passes so easily and how it turns things around. A year ago this day, the sky was washed with cerise of blue and purple. And while going to the work I could smell the bazaars, and you said something at dawn and smirked at ground before leaning dimly at the camera, may be I felt like a breeze rustled through you and you smiled. We smiled.


At dusk the color of the sky became a shade of magenta. This could be a movie scene, no but this is my reality a year ago. You see I remember things in detail and if you look in detail I associate everything almost with you.

It was almost 22:00 hours. Do you remember things like that ? I could hear sirens wailing inside my heart.
Even if love is a war, a war with your own self or the world, your name is the first and last thing, my heart would ever have space for. I always saw,


Vivid colors in your bright and lovely eyes,
I always found the hues of sunrise and,
Sunset in them,
Housing a zillions of songs, melodies and,
Unraveling the windows to your soul,
Voraciously speaking of the horrors you hide and the dreams you see,
Amidst the ruckus and the noise,
Naturally there was peace in thee.

December felt to me like Steven Wilson's song that someone plays in the middle of Tuesday. Or may be a fugitive stains of a forgotten song blasting through a stereo.

Listen, it's not a mere figment of my poet's fancy it is my lukewarm love. Trust me the poet inside me kills me every single day.

December once was all I needed, nothing less, nothing more.

December was a whisper of a drowsy love, drunk lover whispering "I love you " . Words that trail of brokenly. Now you are the only person who could save me from myself and I am the only person who could save you from yourself but I could not ask you , should i feel ashamed of this ?

You know I say a lot of things, mostly all rubbish but why could not I say the right. Why ? Do I fear something.i dont know.

December now is a comforting silence, an unfinished letter , a nostalgia trip.

I will remember december having a turquoise sky pouring down the lights, as bright as your eyes. It is everything we should have said but we never did. I will always remember December playing Ed Sheeran's "Perfect".

हमसफ़र

 मेरे हमजोलिया मेरे बिछड़े हमसफ़र  कुछ ऐसे नाम लेके ये जहाँ मुझे छेड़ते सब यहाँ  किसे करूँ शिकायत ,किसे करू ये बयान  अब में जाऊ कहा  कभी मुस्कुराते हैं कभी सिमट जातें हैं   इस जहाँ की बातों पर और अपने जज़्बातो पर  तुम बस जल्दी आ जाओ  सावन गया ,  पतझड़ भी जाने को है  कुछ यहाँ कुछ वहां  कितने खुशनसीब हैं वो कान जो तेरी खैर रोज सुनते होंगे  कितने खुशनसीब है वो ऑंखें जो तेरा दीदार करती होगी  तेरे नाम लेकर लोग मेरा दिल जलाते हैं मेरा  आखिर कब होगा वो सवेरा जब तू  हाथ  थमेगा मेरा

Broken Halo

 Make another one of me. Twice. What's you vice, mine is illusion. My halo is broken. May be I was blinded with what saw so closely. But I am not weak. There is a house where I live, it's full of sunlight and I walk barefoot on the grass and you wake up in me on most days . Lovers, I don't see but there is enough ginger in this house, so I start by preparing a tea and drinking it is the most promised reward. Sky drips onto the pavement and June melts into the arms of October and I sit on the grass when I am allowed to sit outside and I write. Or at least I try. Sometimes in a while it rains here, I spend the better half of the day in the grey foreboding. Always the lonely kind. In this house, how trivial are my dreams, how mundane, how beautiful and how tragic is the act of living. Life may be different but death is equal. Being hopeful could be beautiful but hopelessly hopeful is fatal. We travelled enough-Together or alone . We are all travellers in life but if don...

lukewarm love

 I know if I call you today after sunset, you won't pick. Silence will grow and I will take a deep breath. Something inside my ribs would break and bleed and I won't have words for it. I just hope before I get short on blood my letters reach you if my voice could not. When in life you feel yourself strangling to death and there is nothing you can do about it, you feel a kind of dizzy. Someone tried calling me today and checking on me and I wanted to pick I wanted to cry out loud but I cried in my head. And I hope it's alright. This is incomplete. Memories of lukewarm love, fugitive stains of broken songs playing loudly on the stereo, stolen kisses, and a drowsy drunk voice saying that I love you bangs in the head. Comforting silence of Monosyllabic replies. Turquoise sky pouring down the torrents of the light, a fuzzy tonic of bittersweet memories. I should have said everything. In the smell of nitroglycerin, hypochlorite, and peroxide I breathe in air and your name i...
