Walking hand in hand with you,
In the moonlight,
Can barely see each other's faces in that glint.
Wow ! such a romantic thing,
Never expected a proposal from you,
As it should be me to initiate.!
Anyway..,
I'm literally controlling my excitement and about to answer,
And closed my eyes to whisper my reply,
.... a big ( thunder )sound....
Opened my eyes to see who disturbed the moment,
It is then I realised,
It's just a dream.
A dream that made me curious about who that person is..? The person whom I dreamt about..!

JUST ANOTHER LIE...
Ever since I started walking he was always next to me. I have known him forever. I loved him forever. He was my best friend before even knowing what friendship was.
Whenever he held me tight I never wanted to let him go.
When others made me cry, he was the only person who made me smile.
There were so many times I wanted to tell him how I felt. I never knew what to say, just like today.
Standing in here embellished my face with a smile. All eyes on us made me feel overwhelmed.
Holding up the glass and all I could think of. What should I say?
Should I say how much I love him?
Should I say I will always love him and he is the love of my life?
Should I say how I really feel?
Or just another lie.
All these years I waited to see love in his eyes. And there it is, for a fraction of second I saw that love in his eyes gazed around just to see the love of his life.
Finally he looked at me raising his glass.
The time has come.
Now what do I say?
That I loved him the most?
That earth stops spinning when he looks at me every time.
Or just another lie.
Well among all the thought that was running in my head all my mouth could comprehend was just another lie.
A congratulatory toss on his wedding day.

Wrinkles around your eyes,
Be it those strech marks on your thighs,
Or scars peeking through your tee,
I adore them genuinely.
U always tryna hide your belly fat,
I know u hate cracks on your feet,
But I adore all of them honestly,
It's our flaws that makes us complete.
Cuz I love your imperfections,
As if they're mine,
So baby promise me to never feel insecure,
Of your looks; that beauty is divine.
It's these imperfections,
That makes u stand out from the crowd,
No there's nobody perfect like u,
Vow to me you'd never deem yourself a dowd.
Of all these societal beauty standards,
Crumbling down your morale,
Look up darling you're perfect in my eyes,
Burying any doubts moment they arise.

She was like the resistant sculpture,
Languished in the corner,
Witnessing the wars,witnessing blood & devastation.
Standing there lifeless like a mourner.
Bearing rainstorms,covered in dust,
Holding her shape still,
Keeping away any cracks or rust.
She was once like the turtle,
Thrown out of the ocean by the raging tides,
As it continues battling the odds,
With each failure its devotion intensifies.
She was like a fragment of rock,
Lurking for millennials in the far flung space,
She was once like a budding flower,
Thriving slowly with her own pace.
She was once like the jigsaw puzzle,
Baffling and hard to figure out,
She was once like fading embers,
Drifting slowly into a total blackout.

Nights either end too quickly or carry on for far too long- it's the always-present unwillingness to accept that things have to end, have to finish, have to disappear in eternity.
The creatures, they come out at dusk, full of unanswered yearning within their souls, searching, in hopeful desperation pushing the façade of good times still to be had.
Drops of poison remaining on the strained, painted lips, and powders disappear through the rolled-up notes into the nostrils.
Long enough and everyone starts getting lost in the moment of these Dionysian nights.
Masks start to slip off, falling to the sticky floor covered in sick and expectations.
The works of art carved in stone start to crumble like granite.
The horror lies not in strangers seeing you for the beautiful mess you are; it's the inevitable face off in the mirror with a naked reflection of a subdued mind.
Fear stripped the outer layer of paint, leaving a defenceless medley of colours, rust and raw emotions;
this swaying creature that's supposed to be you, having fun, is just you – confused and unsure of who you are any more.
All you do know is what you don't want – to spend your life as a shadow.
You know that a night spent embracing a stranger is better than a stranger night alone.

Im trapped in this nightmare,is it my premonition that tends to behold my suspicion?the waves are still engulfed into the darkness,but cant afford to be snared by myriads of sizzling thoughts that take hold of my soul,do i know where i am ?or i may be sinking in the mire trying to find every single hole that could find me way,but alas! My faith still makes me reminisce on the kind of colours i choose.

it's hard to remain still
but no amount can char
the thin fabric beneath
yet it drives many
toward the flame of hell

Spare me a kiss
#review #Abhijit #poetry
You know, it still feels as if the first time we met was nature’s ploy.
The looks of yours were nothing less from the ‘Helen of Troy’.
I experienced that day Einstein’s General theory of relativity,
The moment my gaze was upon you, everything stopped for me.
Your words were some cadence,
A music so soothing that my ears dies to hear.
Your elegance so pristine and pure.
Many times, I thought someday I would lose you, oh dear!
That cursed day came when she was about to leave me.
I wish we could spend a little more time together.
A little more laugh,
A bit more of joy,
If time will ever be sold, I would squander all to buy.
Ever wondered the despair I would have to go through,
So, give me something I remember my whole life.
Leave me something to hold on to,
Spare me a kiss, would you?
For the sake of love, we have between us, let me ask for something
Let me have the taste of your lips,
Let me drink the tears at your cheeks,
Let me have some final instances of my ecstasy.

Am mere clay....
This is what I was taught
I was built at their will,
I was to be destroyed at their ought....
But if I was mere clay
Just like a pot.....
Why do I have feelings??
Why I feel the urge to cry a lot???
I have a conscience....
I have my own thoughts.....
If I was to be confined
I would have been animal of some sort....
So, am free.......
Just like the air...
I'll slip out
Like sand from their fists.......
If they don't care
Afterall I am much more than just clay
I am an idea which matters a lot......
To me.....

It started with harmless banter.
A back and forth of wits and funny remarks
Sandwiched between all of that was intelligence, the kind I like
But I brush it aside, I have been there before and nothing good ever comes of it
We continue our ping pong of words
Words turn into sentences
Sentences began to have meanings
Meaningful conversations expose the values which you hold dear
Similar to the values I hold dear
It is too much of a coincidence
So I lift my eyes up to see who is behind these words
I see you.
Yes you…. In all totality
The content and the container all mashed up into one perfect being
You may call me naïve but I think you are perfect for me
As I am for you
I start to dream.
You have unlocked a part of me I had lost hope of ever opening
I can almost touch the future
This is it, finally
I mean, what could stop this moving train?
When I am with you, I feel you in my insides
Your voice permeating every echo chamber
Your eyes piercing the void left by fate and life
I placed myself on the altar of love
Gave up the ghosts of lovers past
Reborn into your arms
I’m all yours for the taking
So why aren’t you taking me?
I feel the hesitancy
It’s written all over your face
Worry lines drawing a sad picture
I am not to have this dream I crave
You didn’t need to say anything
The silence was deafening
Whatever the reason might be is inconsequential
I have been left hanging yet again
My sacrifice of love not accepted
Not enough
Darkness wins yet again
The light retreats
The door firmly shut
It is cold all over
I’m back to an all so familiar place
I have been here before and I knew nothing good ever comes of it
I thought you’d be different
A dream come true
Alas! You’re not to be
I have come to say my goodbyes
I am at peace with my foe
You smile and tell me everything will be alright
I know this is true
Because while that door is locked
And guarded closely by the darkness that so envelopes me
There’s light and love behind it
Waiting to burst like a pressurized can
To shower a deserving person
Drenching and drowning them in all the love I can offer
So I know I will be alright
It is you I worry about.

You are a mirror, a mirror, my dear.
I look into the mirror and I see myself ugly, impassive, and numb.
But your surface is a little humped, I noticed.
I see my hands, are slender, and body weak everytime I stop before you.
Why is it that I cannot see my heart and mind in it.
Shall I stop seeing you?

Our talk in life
In the morning, we tend to have a talk
Little do we talk about, every talk
Often, not often, because of time to talk
Vaporising, always we are, 'cause of life
Ending the circle, worrying about our talk
Yes, to meet is to wait for the chance of life
Onto such a connection, patience in life
Uncertainty, how we got to know in life?

DrizzlesIt’s drizzling
Over the half-furrowed field
A frog jumps, happy and thrilled.
It’s drizzling
On the leaves of dark green colour
An yellow bee feasts on a flower.
It’s drizzling
Over the lone banyan tree
A squirrel in the nest sits carefree.
It’s drizzling
on the brick-red rooftops
Two girls sing and dance in blue tops.

Sweet were our snaps,
Etched forever in my mind like the city maps.
Laying down in the sun,
Together the walks we had were fun.
Separate we always made a mess,
Together everyone can guess.
Our tale were the envies of the fairies,
But now all left are the memories;
These are now buried treasure,
Which are priceless beyond measure

Loved you more than dearly
Yet you treated mah love cavalierly,
I made you my world
And you made me travel through the netherworld
Everything that you made me feel, I guess,
The undying love you professed
Must say your love had me impressed
Whereas the truth was you couldn't care less.
Today your ignorance hit me like a truck,
To fall for your lies guess I really was a schmuck.
But now that your true self has come to light,
I think I'll take leave from your life outright;
Leaving you at your plight,
I'll now soar like a kite.
