I was once an empty pot
Desolate and so graceless
Choked with enormous load
Despite being waterless
...

How nice it’s to look at this blue sky and to forget myself
This joy emanating from an unknown source deep within myself
This inner urge to be a part of such a mind-blowing ambience
And this very gift of spreading my adore all over the universe
...

Leaves of joy fluttering in the wind of your love
Are dying day by day with silent sighs
Pearls of hope sprouted by the grace of your smile
Started dropping one by one into the pool of tears
...

Tears boiled in the heat of ur words
And made my eyes swollen out of stress
You said a big No to my anxious eyes
And walked out of my bleeding self
...

None is waiting here to listen to my void sighs
Carrying no shadow of dismay
But, reminding the world around me
About the darkness engulfing my sole soul
...

For you my love, I keep weeping
With all my might and veiled warmness
...

When you sang with your intent eyes
Which I alone sensed with my heart
Bud the plant of poetry within myself
To blossom into an aromatic jasmine
...

To hear the song of night,

Be awake till the dawn blooms.
...

A wet bird rests in a lone corner,
Humming the song she used to sing.

And shivers every now and then,
...

I looked at the pasture with passion
And watered the peeping flowers
With honeyed droplets of fondness
I giggled with the swarm of bees
...

The best time is yet to come
To be a child once again
To wait for buds to bloom
To paint soil with petals
...

I learned how to sweep my kitchen
As a mother cleans her new born

I learned how to wipe the cups with care
...

Dreams danced almost every night
To lead my mind to the scars of past
To slit my throat with the sword of guilt
And to drag me down to the depths of hell
...

Thread-like rain waters my lawn with a humid chatter,

Breathing, in return, the smell of my sleeping soil
...

When it is flowing within my spirit,
I get to pen down a fragrant note
The tune seems simple to charm my entire cells
So as to calm down the rhythm of my heart beats
...

I vowed never to mull over you
Never to let my eyes look for you
Never to throw my smile at you
And never to have even a word with u
...

Listening to you means
My silent prayer to God
To brighten your eyes
To sweeten your voice
...

My soul has no more pearls to shed
No more dreams to share with
And no more pain to release
Standing I’m always here
...

Love is blooming so quietly
In the forlorn valley of my red heart
That's simply smiling at you
Despite having your wounding dissent
...

I used to wish for ur smile
That often lit up seeing my gaze
We passed like strangers
Through the same corridors and stairs
...
