I befriended loneliness for far too long
And named it solitude
Never quite realising the difference
In the meanings of the two words
And when you befriend a monster
It comes back to haunt you at various times
But you overlook and treat it only like an ally
And by the time you realize that
You were only lonely all this while
And self-love was only a facade
That could save you from
Only so many of the dark nights
You crawl back to the very essence
Of being a human
Of wandering to look for a soul
Not any random soul but the one
With whom you find yourself to intertwine
To assuage the need to know another human
And to maybe just be lonely together

For the longest time
I have battled with
My own apprehension of
Love
The word gave me shudders
Almost left me intimidated
By the powers it possessed
To take over all my beliefs
That I nurtured over time
It turned my senses hazy
And almost seemed to take over
My ability to live my life
At my own terms
The word also left me in awe
With the kind of powers
It gave me to indulge in
Endeavours so beyond my means
It made me brave, it made me fearless
It made me want to live with happiness
I could use love as my means
To fight against any misery of world
It made me so strong in my own eyes
All these whirlwind of feelings
Attached to that simple word
Love
Drowning and sailing at the same time
Flying and falling in the same sky
Chuckling and sighing in the same breath
Living and dying at the same moment
I have not known a feeling
So powerful and frightening
As love
Binding all complex emotions
Giving all the meaning to life
That one can ever know
In a lifetime

Midnight musing #18
I remember how you took care of me after our trip to the hospital. Do you too remember making me that omelette and toast just because I was sick and it was my comfort food?

Midnight musing #17
I remember the night we went to the festival with our colleagues and you telling Remus that I was only yours. Do you too remember confessing your feelings for me in front of all our colleagues?

Midnight musing #16
I remember the day we baked chocolate croissants at home and I made you hazelnut mocha. Do you too remember posting them to your social media account saying it was the best thing ever?

You Loved Me
I'm not easy to date. I don't like meeting people. I'd rather stay in than go out.
I don't open up easily and overthink everything. I shut people out and build a wall so high up around myself that no one can reach to me or my heart. I don't like video calls. I prefer texting over phone calls. I have my set of ideologies and I don't compromise on them.
I'm not easy to date, I ghost people if I feel overwhelmed which BTW is quite often. I refuse to take a chance on finding love.
Then, one day you came along and changed all of that for me. You helped me let my guard down. You tore that wall apart and reached my heart. You helped me realise that it was okay to trust again. To love again.
You made me feel like loving me was the easiest thing in the world. And I fell in love with you.

मशरूफ़ी
कुछ लम्हे जुगाड के, वक्त से निकाल के
रक्खे थे मैंने तिजोरी में संभाल के
जियूंगी इनको यूंही बस
सपनों का ताला मार के
जैसे बच्चा करता हो अटखेलियां पानी की धार से
जैसे बिखरा हो रूप कोई घटा की बौछार से
जैसे फिसलती हो बूंदें कई अनगिनत सी पत्तों पर
जैसे शाख से टूटा हो पत्ता कोई तेज़ बयार से
जैसे धुंध हो छाई सी किसी अंगने की राह में
जैसे बोले पपीहा कोई सावन की पहली फुहार में
जैसे रंग हो निखरा हुआ किसी गोरी का प्यार में
जैसे फुरसत मिली हो इक शाम–ए–इतवार में
वो लम्हें सारे रेत से फिसल फिसल कर बह गए
मुठ्ठी जो खोली तो हम खाली हाथ रह गए
मशरूफ़ हुए हैं ऐसे ज़िंदगी की चाल में
वक्त ही मिलता नहीं साल–दो साल में

If it has reached you, it is for you #2
Get back up, get on your feet,
Start walking on that one way street.
Remember the lessons you have learned,
These are the gifts that you have earned.
If this truth you do not face,
You'll be returning to this place,
Learn you will and learn it best,
Life gives lessons, and it tests.

I hope you heal from all your past existing Traumas, i hope today you Just decide to brush it off, so that you yourself become the ray of hope u needed all this time,
I hope you gather courage to forgive them enough so that you can forgive yourself as well. May almighty bless you with power to start afresh.

It will stop breaking you,
when you stop loving it!

Stupidly Crazy
Being crazy with admirer is golden egg
Effecting with while killing your ethos to impress is real stupid:
A stupidity that begins with half failure...

Trapped Inside
I am a prisoner of my own mind,
trying to escape each nightmare,
but those caged thoughts,
won't let me imagine,
won't let me know,
won't let me feel,
what lies beyond this hell,
will it be peaceful,
will, there be solace
will I find sunshine,
beyond these hunted walls,
but who can tell,
those voices say many things,
none of which,
can convince my mind,
a captive of my own prison.

Diary!
I don't mind people ghosting me anymore.
After being in earth for these many years, I have met various kind of people. Some likes me, some pretend to like me, some doesn't even give a damn to my existence.
And it's okay... Might be that's what the definition of preference are.
The one who today loves you, open up their heart in front of you tomorrow he might be someone who doesn't even bother with your existence.
Sometimes I feel like this earth is a haunting house and I live in it with so many Ghosts..
