Unspoken Unsaid

Image
By
Between a stress and a sigh
Before you say goodbye
Much before you feel all alone
In between long pauses on telephone
I wish I could say
I miss you everyday

Between my fingers I felt 
No matter how tightly I held
Your touch lingered long past midnight
Spelling the aura so bright
I wish I could say
You were with me yesterday

Sketching the rosy days ahead
Countless times I've said
Distance burgeons the love
Smoothening the edges somewhat rough
But I wish I could stay
Much close to you every single day

Read between unspoken lines
You'll find thousand signs
Many kisses resting on your blue shirt
Walls of bedroom echoing my words
I wish You to say 
You waiting for me every single day

    Everytime I feel Saru is past her prime, she comes back with a poem deep enough to renew my respect for her. Atta girl!

    Nice poem Saru.. Just a query though, any particular reason to change from "I" throughout the poem to "you" in the last para.. ( ignore my lack of understanding here :D )

    We always given in so much into a relationship. Treat the person as the world , and we revolve around it. But in the end, we do expect a little bit from him as well. A little bit of "Say you miss as well"

    @Everyone - Many thanks for reading.

    @Binu - It was just an expression, ending verse was given a different tone than the others.

Being Human

By
Under the roof of winter, Latches of my door open without making a sound. It's cold out there, Someone lost his ground. My soul shivers, Not that I'm cold. Someone from my land, Sleeps under the bridge while dreaming of gold. How can I... tuck myself in the quilt? When the winter storm is blowing, Hopes they have built. I have to get up, Do something... Before I start questioning who am I? And, they start saying...'Humanity dies.' Let's work out something, Take a resolution. Walk across all kinds of bridges, And, just be human... From centuries people are migrating for work or for better opportunities. But, not everyone has a smooth sailing...some live under miserable conditions. Most heart wrenching fact is nobody helps them, not even people from their own countries. I know, everybody is busy chasing the bigger purpose of life. But don't you think we should help people in need? Let's try to be better human being...

I Am Not Alone

By
Last year blessed me, He walked silently into my life. It was Love, That took me in its stride. One evening we walked holding hands, Then, I told him what I felt in heart. He said we were one soul, Who were living in parts. To bring the parts together, We fought with the world and tied the knot. Being one soul, Gave life a whole new spot. Chirping birds, floating clouds, Nature conspired for us. Always swimming against the tide, Life was in an adrenaline rush. This year cursed me, He walked silently out of my life. It was Death, That took him in its stride.       Yesterday his soul was saying, Fearing memories will fade, he can’t move on. He will stay and admire me, Standing always by my side from dusk to dawn.

Rewind - September 2023

By
 I wrote the following in September. Sometimes, I feel I will forget the art of writing couplets because I am not writing at all this year. I strongly believe you have to practice to hone your craft. And I am not doing that. Perhaps I schedule a time to write a poem. Or I need better time management skills. Date Published 09/05/2023 मुझे उसके जाने का इतना अफ़सोस नहीं हुआ  जितना इस बात का कि इतने सालों तक उसे रहने ही क्यों दिया  Love, Saru
