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

Leaning against the big, broad shoulders of his

I heard his heartbeats

He would pull me closer

To the rythm that would rhyme with mine

And i would feel at home

Smiling, i would close my eyes

Before patting a kiss on his chest close to mine

❤️

Flashback
To the evening
The wet sky
Dripping love
New bond
Two of us
Walking, splashing the water
Barefoot, us both
Fingers brushing at times
Eyes wandering not far
Hours spent
Time stopped or sprinted,
We knew not
No thought to the world
Madness in the moment
Ecstacy, more like it
Experinced for the first time
Oh! How I would love 
A downpour 
To drench us once more
This time
I will hug you tight
Feel every drop trickled 
Through you on me
Bring on the rain,
Shall we

I look not

Beyond your shoulders

Home is where I am

Peace is what I seek

In you is my us

That is enough

For this lifetime

And beyond

I talk

In an empty space

Void is all is left

My voice reaches none

I write

On a slate that is still bears the sketches you drew

And yet

You read not

Is it a sign?

Like a fool 

I murmur

That falls into deaf ears

Expressions 

Are just brushed off

I should stop i guess

For I matter not!

Let my voice fade

And you wipe off the slate



Just let me rot in the utter madness

And darkenss that has completely engulfed me

I fail to expalin and express

The chaotic churn of my heart and mind

No logic too i guess

But i am done

Everyone is done with me

I guess I have outlived my purpose

Redundant i lie 

Till whatever is left

Is snuffed out

So much of me

The insides

Are melting like wax wasted

The cold night would harden it

And the baking heat of the day would melt me back

A soul, wasted!


 He knew my eyelashes by numbers

Well almost

He knew the hidden moles

Familar with all the scars 

He had embraced me

He knew how my pupils would dilate

At his sight

How i would breathe heavy by his side

I grayed before him

And he could put a date to every sigle of my strands

He knew if my eyebrows were messed up

Or how left out was a single naughty hair

My grooming, the unkempt and disheveled me

He had seen me and he knew it all

He knew my tan marks

He could tell if i was upset by juat a glance

He knew if i would have put on one mg of body fat or lost it

He knew my misfits

And hated me in bulky clothes

He knew the colours that would lit me up

The accesories that would adorn me best

And the little things that would bring joy

The handmade jewelry 

Or the braids he strung together

The fixtures he would do to patch the messy me

The brilliant potraits that would draw awe

Capured the bestest of my profiles

Wrote notes inspiring

The petals or flowers from the wild

The scents that would make me radiate

The silver which could dull even the best sparkles

Or the random sketches 

Even the tattoo that i have on me is his

He knew i never asked for much

Nothing

I never asked foe anything but him

Then how did he miss out on something 

That was so pronounced

My heart is bleeding 

Oh! All is sucked out!

I am so drained now

Utterly unworthy i guess

How consumed i am with dejection

oh! What misery

And what fate!


 I am enclosed in a tight black box

No light

No air

I think i was crucified 

For being too selfish

So i serve my punishment

In the dark dungeon

In the tight box 

Destined to die 

Alone

With noone to mourn

After hours of endless chats

Discussing love and life

Throughout the star glazed night

They welcome The dawn

When their eyes close

They suddenly jolt and wake up

To discuss their love and life

Before embracing each other

To soak in that love and life 

Thursday, January 1, 2026

They run deep 

Some on my face

Some within the soul

Each one has a story

The wrinkles or the lines etched all over 

Either I laughed and loved a lot

Or cried and shattered myself

But each is what makes me what I am

Thank you for those on me

That have brought me joy and ecstasy 

Many are due to you

Deepened over time 

As the feeling grew

So let the lines go deeper

Let them show

For that means I felt deep.

 With a galaxy full of stars

I waited

And waited

Only to realise he slept off

Till the dawn

Not keen for the glitter any longer

He wished just for the sun

Gulped so much of you

Had no words

But to say 

I do

Oh how i stumbled

And  fumbled 

Banged into strangers 

And those i know

Looking out for you

In the crowd 

I just called out

Your name aloud

Oh such freedom 

I experience 

As i call out your name aloud

I do

Is all i said

When i saw you

But that set me free

Now to wander

Beneath the greens 

I chirp

And i say

I do
