Heart of Stone

''Your heart it made of stone'', I yelled

While he stood silent in the rain

"Stones don't get injured, they are meant to hurt others" I continued

The feelings inside him seemed to be subdued

I cried to talk about it further, he wanted to conclude the argument

And finally he spoke ''Your name carved on this stone, is permanent''

Kiss of Divine: Good..Better..Best

Let's look back to the days of divine

One kiss exchanged, I was yours & you were mine

Remember the day, when I was scared

You came closer gently and finally dared

It was that one little kiss and amorous cuddle

Powerful enough to let us get along and huddle 

That’s where our love’s tiny saga arose

Waves blew soothingly, time froze

With every blissful kiss we shared

Your warm breaths conveyed how much you cared

Our lips snared madly, living that moment and forgetting the rest

WITH EVERY Tremble -Moan-Gasp it would turn Good-Better-Best

Brushing aside the truth that love calls for pain

Aroused with its charm, we drank each drop of the rain

That delightful submission of my soul was eternal

The pain to fall apart gradually was even infernal

Against time, when our dreams were ensnared 

We suffered the burning hell but the hopes were flared

These kisses will last, even if we do not

Similar as moments pass by and memories are caught

Dust Particle

When the wind blows whistle and signals for the gale

He shuts down doors & windows as the tree leaves hail

His little daughter jumps in joy, ignorant of peaked wind scale 

Fearless of the horrendous storm she waves to the gust

When he interrupts, she screams, “No, let me say Hi to the dust”

Why do you need to greet the filth outside?

She turns back angrily, with her tiny eyes open wide

“Dadda!, when wind blows, dust particles from everywhere, roam

You never know, which one of these belongs to grave of my Mom”

Endless Fight

In middle of the night

I wake up in fright 

Startling in my bed

My palms turning red 

Then I exhale, a poignant sigh 

It’s the moment, my heart doesn’t lie

I silently turn towards the clock

The round structure, too busy in ticking-tock

Surrendering to the storm moving beneath my skin

I let my long suppressed desires win 

Tiptoeing like a thief, I break down into my own closet

Digging down for the abandoned box, I often try to forget

As I touch it, my heartbeat grows wild

Freezing my whole body in a jiffy, turning my heart all mild

I close my eyes before opening the box 

Charmed by your reminiscences, I give up to my heart's playful hoax

Shedding tears all night over the picture you are smiling in

Sleep hits my swollen eyelashes and in the picture, you still grin 

Rising up the next morning, I pretend to be unaware of whatever happened last night 

I am not sure when will I get over with this endless fight!

Just walk along…

I know we have started a bit late.. But we’ll catch up the pace…

Just believe what I say, hold my hand and walk along…

The path we have chosen to travel leads to our dreams straight away..

Tell me love, do we really need to think before traveling, ‘How Long?’ 

It has been too hard to travel this path of life without you…

We together will take care of every thorn, every stone…

It just takes your smile for me to forget and forgive 

Let go everything… What has been lost & what has gone…

My heart tells me every minute, as long as you are there

Nothing can fall apart… nothing can go wrong…

The moment you arrived in my life.. till the moment you are here..

I listen to the air around me whispering in my ears.. I will never be left alone 

We might not reach the heights, we dreamt day & night…

But, we’ll enjoy our journey for sure.. Love..! just hold my hand & walk along 

Cold Blood

Everything seemed calm as always

The blood nurturing her was warm

Warm enough to give her a sound sleep

She slept slowly, on the rhythm of the heartbeats

The heartbeats of the God, The lady, Her Mother

In every blow of air reaching her,

She could feel the essence of her Mother’s Happiness

She felt safe inside and trusted that outside will be even safer,

But still she wanted to stay there, inside her mother

The warmth of blood that was nourishing her, was heavenly

She was afraid whether she would get this out there or not

Not someone else but her mother was knowing

That her little princess was everyday growing

Soon she would be out in this world

How would she look, how would she smile

This feeling of nurturing a body inside body was fragile

May be these were the feelings which were flowing in the blood

Warming it to be cozy enough for the little daughter

She loved the warmth and calmness to the core

But one day suddenly, the blood turned freezing cold

The shivering that trapped her body, she could hardly hold

Had something happened to her mother?

Ambushed in the anxious thought she turned inside the womb

The coldness of blood was thickening her

Sighs of pain reaching to her though the blows of her mother’s breaths

Were clear enough to tell that her mother was not fine

She wanted to grow up, stand for her mother & fight to save her

Naïve of her strength she moved hastily inside the womb

The frostiness of the cold blood seemed scrawny in front of her courage

She was sure she would save her mother from this problem

But something abruptly stopped her.. piercing her thin soft membrane

She couldn’t feel the pain, neither had she cried

The thing was warm, but this warmth was alien

Now the cold blood was flowing down the floor & so was she

The cold blood that was her quilt was flown mercilessly

Before she could know that it was not her mother but her, who was in trouble

She died.

Before she could cry for the pain that her poor skin tolerated during her assassination

She died.

Before she could find out who murdered her hardheartedly for what reason

She died.

National Girl Child Day. So what have you decided about the life of your Girl child? Will you be able to let her live in the warmth of love or will it be a cold blood thing written in her fate? 

Pain’s Bride

She was looking at the world outside

Silent…Still…Vanished…

Trapped behind the invisible bars, she sighed

She could feel the thunder twisting her muscles

Seems, previous night she had again been pain’s bride

The tenderness in her eyes reflects the sucking of her soul

Something is killing her slowly that her faded smiles can’t hide

The murder of her inner-self is too mysterious to understand

Or may be it is as easy as an open book, but no one ever tried

Her drained eyes are exhausted of looking at the outer world

But still are fixed there, may be she has nothing to look at, inside

Chase: Happiness & I

Happiness! The mischievous butterfly

So Soft, colorful and vibrant

Trying hard to engage every single eye

Everyone so eager to chase you

All I can give you is, a dim glimpse & deep sigh

I have tired enough to attempt a chase

I stand still as I have given it enough of try

Your colors still get embossed in my eye-crystals

But I understand I couldn’t reach that high

Your li’l presence at times, reminds me of the days

When I would sit alone, waiting for you and I would cry

I have been a compulsive follower of yours

It is one of the truths that I can not deny 

Though you never even cared to stop and notice

I never had wings like you, so that I could fly

Sometimes I wish you could’ve stopped-by for a moment

It just took too long to know that without you I won’t die

As I have understood that you aren’t meant to last forever

I wish you a great soar, as you have with you, the entire sky 

Gleaming Festival Wishes

Don’t blow the crackers they pollute the beautiful Environs

Celebrate this Diwali with lots of lights and colorful crayons

Add sweetness to your relations by sharing hugs and sweets

Do not exploit Mother Nature; treat her the way ‘she’ always treats

May this festival gift the gleaming rays of happiness to your soul

And the lights of Diwali lead you in your path to hunt your goal

Come out with your luminous hearts and souls to join in the carnival

May the heavens of delight offer you with an unforgettable festival

On this Diwali may you discover a prosperous and flourishing illumination in every single thing you take a glimpse of. 

May this enlightening festival bless you with ultimate bliss of finding the ‘constellation of love and purity’ in the world around you.

Burn down the worries instead of crackers and feed Mother Nature with lights and happiness instead of Pollution. Have a Happy and Eco friendly Diwali.

Priyanka Choudhary 

P!yu...

set my soul free

I am dead and cold, travelling on a terrible lane

The fear of losing you forever is driving me insane

The coating on my soul is flanking off, every single day

Cut down my nerves and save me from this dreadful decay

The assassination of my emotions has squelched the little life in me

I had seen enough of suffering in your love, please set my soul free  

The way soreness has sucked my soul, has really been heartless 

The bloodsheds are still embossed on the dead heart that I possess

I hide behind the frail gasps; because I am too weak to face the stress

Come touch the lifeless body of mine, feel what I live with- a void frigidness

I stand frozen listening to the silence of my soul that synchs with restless yet calm sea

The trembling silence of my painful groans cries out loud to say, please set my soul free    

I wish you to be here

Awhh this soothing breeze and moonlight melting from the sky

This creates perfect aura to make love or to miss someone and cry

I wish to capture the stars in my eyeballs, the way they appear

The sweetened night is passing by slowly; baby I wish you to be here

I am lying down on the edge of the mysteriously calm seashore

Remember the way I would surrender to you and you would adore?

The eyes have started shedding the salty rain, come wipe the tiny tear

Ouch the tiny drop has reached till my lips, baby I wish you to be here

My eyeballs hold an impression of u exactly as ocean holds of moon

The heartbeats have gone crazy now, I can hardly wait, come soon

I am all afraid of lonesomeness, come hold me and vanish my fear

Just to show you the moon behind my eyelashes, baby I wish you to be here

Taking a deep breath and engraving these verses on my heartland is all I do

The night is calm and I wanna scream out loud, “baby I can’t live without you”

Hold me when I scream, seal my lips and whisper your love smoothly in my ear

I wanna melt down in your arms like the moonlight, baby I wish you to be here

"A piece of poetry"

A few verses are being engraved on my heartland.

Some of them are lucid; a few are hard to understand.

I wonder sometimes, who whispers the verses into my ears.

With each breath, A piece of poetry emerges and disappears.  

I walk down the lane of my soul, all alone, lost somewhere.

Every day, I discover the new blossom flying in the air.

I find the little happiness taking me away from all the fears.

With each breath, A piece of poetry emerges and disappears.

No matter how hard life examines and the day ends up in ashes.

Every new day, a new hope knocks at the edge of my eyelashes.

Life plays amazing games, bliss dances at times, sometimes pain fleers

With each breath, A piece of poetry emerges and disappears.

Eyes are the destination of dreams; heart is a home for hopes.

The beauty of life is in its flow, the course of time  never stops.

A one of its kind conversation, where I keep quite but life still hears.

With each breath, A piece of poetry emerges and disappears.

"i take my words back"

The way you have become now, I am sorry that I ever loved you.

Those moments I wasted away on you, I guess saying sorry to them will do.

I wanna end it here before you give my mild feelings a whack

Once I said “i love you”, okay now,i take my words back

I’m apologetic to the rose petals I crushed to find out whether you love me or not.

I am regretful that I did anything you said without giving a single thought

May be you own everything beauteous, it’s a pure heart that you lack.

Once I expressed “i trust you deeply”, okay now, i take my words back

I am sorry for the swears you broke and the promises I kept

I couldn’t even count the days and hours, how long I wept

My feelings are rotten and ruined; I couldn’t escape your blanched attack

Once I promised “i'll be with you forever”, okay now, i take my words back

I am deeply regretful to those Myriad moments I wasted on you

The dreams that I adorned in my eyes were never meant to be true

You left me in middle of  the darkened ways, everything around  is dreadful and black

Once I swore “you're my whole world”, okay now, i take my words back
