Loving the spirits

क्या मुँह उठाये उसकी कब्र पर फूल चढ़ाने चल दिए हो
जानते भी हो कितनी रूहें मरती हैं उसपर ?

Never Enough

I was never for her.

She was never enough for me.

Our souls had to interrupt.

I am caught in between

the shenanigans of love

and

the innocence of friendship

floating in her eyes.

I have tasted your tears

at the time of our goodbye kiss.

Now I am tasting mine daily

as you are gone.

Sorry babe.

But my tears have more

sadness than yours.

हाल -ए- दर्द मेरा नहीं मेरे अश्क़ों का जानिये
पराये गम की ख़ातिर अपना घर छोड़ना कोई इनसे सीखे

I was a prisoner of relationships

until she freed me with love.

If you are a deep sea diver

then i am dead sea

You will need more than

just your body

to drown in and explore me.

When in love,

be carefree

not careless

She kissed the rains

out of my eyes

with that first kiss

and drank it all.

I jotted down your name

on one side of paper

and mine on the other.

As I tried to bend the paper

so we could be together,

it turned to steel.

~ this is our fate
