1000 day love story

Feb 2024



"1000 days?"
"1000 days."
"Deal."
"Deal."
"And then?"
"We split."
"No longer?"
"No shorter, indeed"

blanket

21st Feb 2024



If you need a blanket,
To shield you,
To warm you up,
To snuggle into, on a cold day,
Recharge and replenish as you
Sleep through your fatigue.
And perhaps a heavy one,
That makes your body feel the weight,
keeps you tucked to bed,
and makes you feel held.
I can be one.







माँ ★

17th Feb 2024



बट जाता हूं गैरों में,
दिन की आधी रेत के भाव।
पर एक वो है,
जिसका एक रेत के दाने में दिन बन जाए।

सूने घरों में हम दोनों
सुनहरे पलों को जीते हैं।
मैं आज मेरे अज़ीज़ संग,
पर उसके लिए मेरा बचपन।







Tears

17th Feb 2024



The violence of the tears
brimming, overflowing,
blurring the vision,
shaking all i can see








Middle of the sea ★

5th Feb 2024



There is something about
being out,
in the middle of the sea.

The wind, the wave,
be brave,
as they pass next to thee.

The recurring chime,
that rhyme,
of the crashing waves hit me.

The deafening silence,
screaming violence,
of yer thoughts lonely.

Endless horizons stretch,
blurry edge,
as you wander helplessly.

Hope? Even a deja vu,
"Will you,
come looking for me".







Letters

17th January 2024




Stack up all the letters I wrote,
Rotting away in the corner
For newer seeds to nourish
And turn into woods
For authors to pen their sagas
and poets to bleed








Bots take my jobs

21st Oct 2021




Another day,
Another abstraction,
Newer jobs,
And job satisfaction







chalks that give you life





studying will kill you
until you come across
the infamous
the MIT chalks

whatever feels great





people love,
people hate
just do
whatever feels great








afternoon power nap





early to bed,
early to rise
afternoon power nap
is laziness in disguise









polygon ★






so few
my friends
with no mask on -
i call it my friend polygon









freckles? ★





if you,
have more marks
never recheck









lipstick





i wear every shade,
in my imagination
to match it just right,
with my clinical depression
