Was she living?

She faded
She vanished 
She disappeared 
In her doubts 
In her laments 
In her excuses
In her silence
In her defences 
In her uncertainties
In her apprehensions
In her unanswered questions 
In truths painted with Lies
In the rights and wrongs 
In do's and don'ts 
And she runs away
In the calmness of her soul  
In herself
In the unheard voices, stillness for?

Was she living?

तुम ऐसी क्यों हो?

इतनी हिम्मत तुम लाती कहाँ से हो
इतना तुम क्यों सहती हो 
बार बार गिर कर 
फिर कैसे खड़ी हो जाती हो 
क्या तुम्हारा मन नहीं सहमता
क्या तुम्हें डर नहीं लगता
फिर से गिर जाने का 
फिर से ठोकर खाने का 
आखिर तुम ऐसी क्यों हो 
कभी एकदम शांत
कभी एकदम तूफान 
पल में रो देती हो 
पल में हसं देती हो 
बड़ी बड़ी चुनौती में भी हार नहीं मानती
और एक छोटी-सी बात पर चीड़ जाती हो 
हमेशा कहाँ खोई रहती हो 
क्या सोचती हो, क्या कोई खुहाब है 
किसी से कुछ बोलती भी नहीं हो 
कितना कुछ सबसे छुपा कर रखती हो 
ऐसा क्यों है, कहती क्यों नहीं हो 
क्या झूठी सहानुभूति से डरती हो 
या और सवालो से 
सबको माफ कैसे कर देती हो 
और फिर उनकी मदद भी 
तुम कभी मुझे समझ मे क्यों नहीं आती 
हर चीज़ को देखने का अलग नजरिया 
हमेशा निराशा में भी कोई आशा की किरण 
कैसे खोज लेती हो 
जितना तुम्हें जानो 
तुम पहेली की तरह और उलझ जाती हो 
और हमेशा चहरे पर वो मुश्कान कैसे रहती है
क्या सच में खुश हो 
या सिर्फ ये एक छल है 
इतना जान कर भी तुम्हें 
हम नहीं जानते 
और शायद जान भी ना पाए ।

Little broken!!!!

Because in the end
We all are little broken 
Leaving a bit of us 
Everywhere we go 
Empty souls or empty spaces 
The void is always created 
Waiting to be replenished
Till a new end 
For a new beginning
Can you feel the halo 
Can you see the light 
Wandering in the darkness 
Embracing the night
They don't need to see me cry
They don't need to understand
Never opened this way
Walls I built falling down 
Without making any sound 
Eluding all doubts  
Curtains drew apart  
Burning like sun 
New power emanates  
Slowly climbing the peaks  
Discovering the new me 
making my own ways 
Deep into my rhymes 
Tints of life you feel 
And my poems come alive.

I wrote this poem while having some discussion with Rishika and she said the first two lines Because in the end, we all are little broken and this poem got completed, which is incomplete in the draft for so long. Thanks a lot, The Mystic Inkslinger ☺☺

Colors Say…..

This is in response to THURSDAY POETRY COMPETITION by H.R.PHOENIX and the topic for this week is COLORS.

Being always rebellious in my way 
Questioning every single day 
Why blue for boys 
and pink for girls 
Even colors will argue 
Why gender-specific? 

Whiter your skin tone 
Goes around the world 
More acceptable you become 
Why discriminate
We all are humans 
With red blood I guess

Don't wear black 
Don't wear white 
Unauspicious they proclaim 
But who defines 
The universe we live in 
itself black and white 

So many colors exist 
Beautify our world 
Red, blue, green 
Yellow and orange 
Singing their own melody 
Nature cherish all

Close your eyes 
Absence of light 
Can you feel the pain 
of one who can't see 
Not even realizing 
what dark looks like 

Life or death
Light or dark 
Day or night 
Presence or absence 
Hope or grief 
All colors flash 

Different colors 
Different emotions 
Shades of life 
It contains 
Making it more alive.
