Red
Blue
Purple
Yellow
Green
LOVE
The colours splashed all over
On their palms and faces
Celebrated they all 
With spirit and vigor
The young and the old
They basked in the sun
As the colours got imprinted on their bodies
I smiled at them
Bare palm, bare face
I dnt need their colours
For I already got yours on me
The day you chose me first
Happy holi, love

They dug her deep
In the dark corner
Of their backyard
Seldom
Rare
Would anyone check on her
Weeks went by
The sun baked the earth
Cracked 
Opened it to receive 
The clouds
That arrived just as the heat had peaked
And then came the drops
One, two, and then just enough
To soak the parched soil
In trickled from the cracks
What would be elixir
To nurture and nourish
Her soul
In time, she felt alive
Her tiny self stretched out
The slumber gone
It was time for her to sprint
And see the sun
And the beautiful, bright world
Few weeks down
She reached for the sky
Holding on to a mighty banyan
She blossomed
The blooms covered her in no time
Peaking from behind the high walls
Of the same backyard,
The climber now delights all
Her flowers radiating in the fresh breeze
Nourishing the tiny bees
That would send her message to
Yet another climber
In a different backyard.

 If words are my messanger

His is his art

Making love to the paper

His pen caresses its soul

As if his fingers moving through me

And he creates yet another 

Testimonial to his love

❤️💋

Crossed the spot 

Where i had sneaked out

With him 

On one early morning

When there was chill in the air

Crisp breeze ran through our faces

As he drove me through 

Those lanes lit by soft sunlight

Of the dawn hitting the ground

We had sipped some hot tea

To warm up our souls

Before i had tucked my cold hands

Back into his pockets 

With his hand over mine

Basking in the sun that was up by then

He drove me back to our abode

To keep us warm and safe

And tucking us back to comfort

I cant write the way you do

Your words are heavy 

He said even as I coaxed him to pen down a few

And then came what i never dreamt of

The most precious letter of all

It was a message 

That he had thoughtfully crafted

He said he struggled with words

But no, he didnt!

The narrative was just beyond heartfelt

It was a note to me

Mustering all his vocabulary,

He picked wisely

Those pearls that would  go to make the rarest necklace

After much cajoling he did

But what he did

Was a masterpiece to me

Penned by the likes of a poet

With deep invoked thoughts

What brilliance he held in his mind

And what power his words had

Who said love needs a language!

It dsnt

Only a trickle is enough for the stream

To turn into a gushing waterfall

I said to myself

As tears rolled down my eyes

Full of his love

Thank you

I said

And he still wondered why!


AND THIS IS WHAT HE PENNED DOWN...




 LOVE ❤️ 


I dont even know where to begin, because every time I think of you my heart feels too full for words.


You are the calm in my chaos, the smile in my ordinary days, and the warmth I never knew I was missing... Loving you doesn’t feel complicated... it feels natural, like breathing. The way you laugh, the way you care, the way you simply exist... it all makes my world brighter lasan.


With you even silence feels beautiful. I dont need grand moments or perfect days. Just knowing you are mine and I am yours is more than enough. you have shown me a kind of love that feels safe, deep and real...


I promise to stand by you to support you in your dreams to hold you close when the world feels heavy and to remind you every single day how incredibly special you are...


Shumi, you are my favorite thought, my sweetest feeling and my forever choice.


Always yours


B 😘

The bird

The sky

The hands

The eyes

The room

The garden

The shadow

The light

The vibrance of colours

The depth of the black

The embrace

The lust

The tease

The anchor

The release

With what ease

He guided

And I followed

Effortlessly in the maze

I walked 

He led my soul

Into the depths

Said

Fear not as you jump

In the deepest waters 

Just in the middle

Of the chaos

And yet in peace

Was the home

Serene

Happy

Green grass

Blue sky

Yellow flowers

All lighting up

The rooms

Flushed with the sunrays

Besides the tree

You will still find me

With a pencil and paper

Sketching

The birds and the sky

That you once taught

Insanity

Is what is left of my tiny brain

Dare not ask if I see logic

For I see not

Amid the madness 

And the chaos

Lies the heart

That beats for you

Know that I did

In worst of times 

Your, mine, or ours

And I do

Now

If i see you never not

Think of me 

As the one who loved




If ever

You find me missing 

And you fumble 

Trying to reach out

Know one thing for sure

That I loved with what all I had

And if I am wandering,

I would still be in love with you

So

Lost I might seem to you

Or to their eyes

Know

That I found my destination

Long back 

In you

I looked no further then

Nor I, now

 Oh

The myth

The colours that popped out

From the kaleidoscope 

I see us 

Dancing happy

In love

Ouch

Drop it, you say

It's all a farce!

Wake up from the dream

You stupid soul

She realised

Picks up her glass

And raises a toast to her stupidity

Long back

It was done

She realised not even when she sat amid the shards

Stupid, she was!



It was all colours 
And petals
The pebbles
The seeds
That i offered
It is just pain
And heartache
Grudges
I make
So what am I here for!?

 So here am i

With open palms

I let it all go

The sand

The raindrop

The moments

The hope

The love

Go

All of you

Leave me

And be

Where you belong

To the ocean

The earth

The eyes

The heart

The soul

To where you belong

Let me not hold any of you

For i am the foresaken one now

Slip on

Move on

 Honestly, no one gives a damn! 

 Why does the heart not stop beating

No one hears it now

The noise is too loud 

And the beats too faint i guess

To be heard

In the maddening cacophony 

And the euphoria

Why should anyone hear this faint beat

Just too unbearable 

As i hear it pounding 

In my chest 

Screaming to just go calm

Reduced to ash or dust am I???

I set you all free

So let this tiny pitiful heart just be
