Juliet

I can't sense if u r around,

I am able to find your face

if only i search hard in the crowd.

I have never felt a need to miss you

Though at time i do wonder

how long has it been since i kissed you.

I have recently started stalking you

on social networks,

and at times i do wonder

are we trying too hard to make it work.

why doesn't love comes to me easy,

why i have to remain invisible

even if i am not busy.

Have i missed out on learning

things-to-do-while-in-love,

or is it the concept of arranged marriage

that i am adamant to apply in love.

Yes, i am looking for a fairy tale,

I ask, why it shouldn't be...

Why can't you be my Romeo

and I, your Juliet to be?

घर

आज मै ऑफिस से घर से जो आई

कमरों में एक सन्नाटा सा पसरा पाया

हवाओ की सरसराहट पर

जैसे किसी ने ताला लगा दिया हो.

चारो तरफ हमारे एक-साथ बुने सपने

पतझड़ के पत्तो से बिखरे पड़े थे.

मैंने झुक कर एक को जो उठाया

तो तुम्हारी हंसी की खनक सुनाई दी

इस पर ख्याल आया,

आज कल मुस्कुराहतो ने हमारे साथ

आँख-मिचौली भी खेलना छोड़ दिया है

सोफे पे पड़ी मिट्टी की परते

बोलती है कितने दिन हुए

जब कुछ देर रुक कर

बातें की थी हमने

मेज पर उस दिन की कॉफ़ी के कप

के निशान आज भी मौजूद है

दरवाजे की घंटी बजी है

सोच रही हू आज पूछ ही लू

उस अजनबी से एक कप कॉफ़ी के लिए

जो यू तो रोज़ ही आता है मेरे घर.

Chandani 11

I feel sane

I feel alive

Is it just smoke?

or i see my past walking by

My thoughts take me to a city

unknown

I see faces of my brothers and sisters

and among them my own

The silence is smiling upon me

my spirit is dancing with the moon

Shadows are holding my hand

and taking me in the woods

Reason betrays my fear

and destiny decides

I should

I walk bare feet

on snow, grass and smoke

Crossing the boundaries

of pain, hope and truth

Stars stop looking for me

for it knows it won't find me

anymore

I am an enigma,

a miracle unspoken

and pure

unnamed

The world of sister & brothers

The world of remorse and hope

It gives all - In balance

As happiness & pain are same

Two sides of same dame

Just hormones - they claim

So what is it, the state to be

What causes the harmony

Is it the power? The fame?

No, they r just another form of tragedy

It requires the knowledge of 'me'

And the satisfaction of - being

They call you from all sides

Mute cacophony, colorful and blind

You still find your wish - you live.

Technicolor Me

I feel like standing in the crowd, I see people passing by

I wish them to stop and stay with me for a moment

But they don’t know me; I am just a stranger,

Who is with them just for a while

I look around and smile

Color my part of the world purple and bright

They turn around; feel happy, amused and satisfied

I pass them the bubble; little hope, though fragile

Now they move again to some place, they think they belong to

Their bubble busts right behind them, all is left is just dew

I look towards the sky as it start pouring wet drops on dry

And I wave them happily, as they pass by

(I miss you, I truly do!)

You are searching for me!!

In all those lonely nights

when world is so shiny and bright

when heart and mind are on a fight

and all you carve is insanity of a while

i am the word you want to hear,

alive... true... and real!!

when you don't wish to board last train home,

when the melody of cacophony is long gone...

when silence no more seems the company...

stars are all bright, but that is not what you wish to see.

i am the silent thud, your heart just then had,

picture is not in pieces, it's a perfect mosaic!

when everyone in the crowd is a familiar face

when you stop letting horoscope decide your daily fate...

when you refuse to let smile leave it's place...

you know you are running alone, but still continue with the race.

it's my breath you feel on your skin, still there for you as i always have been.

you have been here, too long,

even the suspicion now is too strong.

and i know this all sounds very funny

but ever heard "irony met a tragedy"?

it's all about errors in a comedy

by the way, yes, you are searching for me!!

The clash of being!

when the game gets real, the real gets game... 

you chuck it, u dodge it, yet all excuses stay lame.  

you think u won, then u see victory in foe's eyes,

battle never ends... it's between FIRE 'n' ICE.  

u kill, u bleed, u breathe pride 'n' shame, 

u win it, u loose it, it'll remain the same...!  

u fight for life yet u wish u die... 

vengeance is a mockery when true are the lies!

i free u from captive, the remorse, the hope... 

i defy boundaries, every treason u blame me of.  

my power i'll seize, only silhouettes will speak of my presence... 

incarnation of a preposterous notion, i m smoke... evanescence will b my essence.
