Maybe the universe is not so ironical, Maybe it's just punishing me for all the things I've done in this life and the past ones, For this 10 million coloured world suddenly turned into a mono-chromatic film, Right after she leaves me with the negatives of my own actions, Taking the sparkle from my eyes, Making me relive all my memories with her in colour, For life is now all black and white, Leaving me speechless as I read her rhymes phrases, That I could only describe as mer

A city that exists only at midnight, Is the one where we meet under the starlight, Shining on us from miles away, As we hug after staying away in the day. It feels scandalous, Almost illegal, Meeting like this, Where no one can see us, But it's the only place, You'll come see me, In my dreams, In a city existing in the midnights only.

I almost texted you again, Despite the last time which felt like a silly attempt to see if you would reply, Despite the time before that when you didn't reply to me for 1055 days. I almost called you again, Despite the last time when you didn't recognise my voice, When I really wanted to talk to you, To hear your voice, To hear your heart, To hear you hear me. I almost wrote a poem for you again, Despite the last time when I wrote for you, You claimed it then forgot about my

I've been opening up my heart, Like a box of chocolates, Asking someone to take a piece of it, But secretly wishing, No one takes any. Am I selfish, Or simply stupid?

Yeh jo baat mujhe andar hi andar khaaye ja rahi hai, Yeh hai kya mujhe batayega kya koi, Bewajah hi mujhe puraani yaad aaye ja rahi hai, Yeh jayegi kab mujhe batayega kya koi?

This feeling comes from within, Eroding every layer of progress I've ever made, Decaying the hope I have stored in the depths of my soul, Looting every ounce of light I've had. Why does it feel so sad, Why cannot I let it go.

But, stars die, Their lights go out, So, what if, It still burns in the universe, For years billions. Even if You and I can see it, From our birth till we die, The light still finds us, From miles apart, To survive, In this moment, Where we find each other, In this dimension, Once again.

Today feels like a prank to me, A big test I never prepared for, A situation teaching me so many lessons in one go, And expecting me to stay calm and not scream my lungs out, Not curse a single word, Not complain about anything, Just breathe, Take it as it comes, Learn and grow. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Niche stuff I like: Love seeing aeroplanes take a turn in the sky specially during golden hour when the sunlight hits the plane at the perfect angle and makes it glow. Extra points if the plane is leaving a trail behind. 🤌🏻 The fragrance of the atmosphere right before the first rain after a really hot season. Tight hugs from friends when you see them after a long long time. Someone getting you that exact thing you need, without you telling them you wanted it. Song recommend

I saw faith in different forms today, Following different but same rituals, The arriving in silence, The waiting with patience, The bowing with grace, The praying with apologies, And some with gratitude, too, Many in hope, Almost all, I must say, From new borns to the ones who have lived for many seasons, Each one with some belief if not alot, Having faith in different forms today, But with one same thought, There's someone taking care of us.

Afternoons of laughter, And evenings full of gratitude. Days full of conversations, And nights full of whispers. Lunches full of gossips, And dinners full of mischief. Mocktails full of fun, And teas full of flavour. How I would like my life.

I've a new theory that I live by, It goes like, "If this person is in my life right now, Then it must be for a reason, To teach me a lesson, Or for this particular season" And I haven't been wrong once. Sometimes, the reasons are many, The lessons too, And sometimes the seasons are longer, But they'll come and go, Like this person too.
