Photographs
I heard genuine laughter behind me and turned impulsively. An all too conspicuous camera swooped in to capture the moment - awkward smiles replaced the genuineness I saw.
It is on these occasions that I long for the old days when the camera captured us inconspicuously... when we could talk and laugh without inhibition....when no one intruded on our own little moments.
In the race to capture them, we've lost precious memories behind fake smiles and awkward glances.

Faded photograph
A young girl smiles back
Not at the camera
But over the camera’s shoulder
If it had a shoulder
Innocence from the age of summer young
Captured in a bookmark of a timeline.
No name, no date
Frozen in a warm moment
One the subject may still remember

Time
Yellowed and wrinkled,
Memories of long ago-
Etched in the halls of time
Out of reach, for the time to follow.
Yet the words- they spring to life
Dance around the fireplace
And- shake the memories alive.
The crumpled leaves,
Say words our hearts now ache to say-
Call them, who were so dear to us one day.
Now gone, dusty photographs.

Caged in a 4×6 paper piece
Holding memory more than this
From root to wings and shining glare
I could feel even those floating hair
It feels so fresh as daisy
The laugh that meld like salt in sea
The silence sings each drop of noise
From click to flash and body being poise
Each page of that chapter
Hour before and after
Starts reeling around
Hewing our bond
And holds us together
Against distance altogether

It has been a while
that I was staring at it,
But I still don't know
whether its 4*6 or 5*7.
It has been a while
that I was compared to you,
But we are still there
sitting next to each other happily.
It has been a while,
that I looked back
But I still long
for the moments we used to have.
It has been a while,
that I have grown up
But I still feel the need
of the love you showered on me.
It has been a while,
and I am still the unpretty one
Even now waiting for your
pretty aura to reside within me.

Bg -: I've passed from an age
Where I've enlivened my childhood
Caption-: there's a life in halcyon memories
Spend sometime in front of
photographs
There's an age that still laugh..
पुरानी यादों में आज भी जिंदगी बसती है
वक्त बिताकर देखो तस्वीरों के आगे
इक उम्र है जो आज भी हंसती है!!इक उम्र से गुजर आयी हूँ
मैं बचपन जीकर आयी हूँ !!

Every time I look at it ,
I get goosebumps,
A shiver run down my spine,
And I feel you holding my hands.
And I am back at Paul's ,
Our place for hot chocolate & pakoda,
You in your blue dress ,
Sitting opposite me ,
Holding our hands on the table.
For a moment the distance vanishes,
And we are besides each other again,
The phone calls seems non existent,
As we are taking face to face again...

I found a photograph under my bed
As I glance over
Couldn't hold my breath
Akin to a baby monkey
Smiling wide unaware of the
Worldly known
standing still like an owl
Staring on the right side
Saying I am alright.
After a few hours ask
My mom to check
is she alright
With a sweet smile alike
announced that's
a photograph of me
A baby monkey indeed:)20 1 3

Read MoreI keep your smiling picture
In my wallet
Which I clicked secretly
I still remember that moment
You were playing with your hairs
And I was roaming to click a perfect shot
Didn't clicked the sunset or dawn
But the sunshine of your eyes
Which was perfect as I got
Whenever I take out
Sitting on window seat of bus
Or on a bench at the park
It reminds me of you
And every bit of us
In that photograph of you
It says our eternal love
And make me feel you're here
Holding my hand sitting next to me
So, whenever I feel alone
I take out the photograph of you
To feel US..

I do not use my camera frequently
but
your photograph has been captured by millions of cells in my eyes,
not ready to let go of the image of you.
I love the little things
and
darling it's true,
I adore this kind of bijou.

Read MoreFor my love for photographs.
Such a beautiful poem, a photograph is, it gives you all the privacy.
#photography #photographPhotograph
My day starts where yours end. Your day starts when mine dozes off. 12 hours apart we are, held together by silent poems, photographs. I see your sunrise flickering on my eyes. You see my sunset slowing melting down. A part of each other we carry through silent poems. These silent poems are vernacular, lying in our specific region and are not hand written, yet they make us talk with each other.
A photograph might seem really simple to you. When you go deep in it, you will find more complex poems to be deciphered. A written poem already contains a meaning, but these photographs are the ones that need to be decoded.
I see my grandma, taking out an old album whose surface is full of dust. She cleans it off with her dry, wrinkled hands. Her bony, bluish hands glide through each photograph and with each photograph her smile changes. Do photographs really tell us in which way we have to smile? I ask her this question and she again gives me a different smile.
Afterall, created from the same water droplet, snow and rain are not the same. Snow gives a different smile and rain, a different one. And that's what memories captured in a photograph are like, full of nostalgia, creating a whole poem in the myriad of lost hopes, and each poem creates new and different smiles.
A long lasting zephyr runs through me. I plunge into a warm blanket with my head not engulfed in blanket, creating no barrier between me and the zephyr. The moon and clouds play hide and seek with me, clouds hiding moon from my eyes. I remember how my mother used to hide me from my brother when we used to play hide and seek. I pick up my camera and click a picture and it again creates a poem of a cold night. When I will see the picture somewhere in a distant future, I will remember the coldness covering my head, the long lasting zephyr, the warmth of blanket, the hide and seek with clouds and moon, the hide and seek with my mother and brother.
Isn't the picture of the cold night a complete poem in a vernacular language that needs to be deciphered? And the most exciting part, only the one who has lived the photograph and the one who understands can decipher it.

Read MoreA photograph isn't just
A capture of time
But it's a tombstone of
A story that now exists
Only as a memory.
A photograph locks in itself
An era of that has now
Vanished; and preserves
From the wrath of time a dream
Those eyes once prayed for.
A photograph contains smiles
Laughs and tears, joys
Friendships & vows,
Secrets, hurt and regrets; questions
And stories we no longer talk about.
A photograph is foe of time
As it keeps everything intact
And brings back everything to mind
Making hearts curse upon the virtue
That everything heals with time.

I wish I were a photograph
You smile for even on your worst

Photographs hides your personality
And darling,
Photographs are the lies
Behind your life
Which always showcase what
You are not.
Photographs are your pal
Which always shows that you are
Pale and pare down all your flaws.
Photographs aren't mirrors
Yet they act like one.
Photographs alter your sadness
Photographs alter your scars
Photographs alter your pain but
Photographs can never heal.

Photos are beautiful, yes they are,
But they don't depict the whole story.
On how I broke, and how I repaired myself,
Those stories are never told.
That printed smile on the paper,
People assumed all is fine,
But it's me under the vineyard,
Who has to get pierced everytime.

I was so excited to write for this challenge yet this is what it turned out to be.
My mom (not biological mom leave us ) so i do not know what so good in this new year��December Gloom
I feel dry to write
My gut tell something isn't right
Maybe everything that end— I fright
I know I'm not a person who's bright
And that what I always forthright
But I never expected this happening
I hated goodbye and ending
This is the unruled parting
I fed up with grief and regretting
When you leave us — it's devastating
This house that feels home
Became quite as doom
Your hair, smile, moods, call
Love, laugh, care and overall
Mark in my heart forever more
~ I wish we live in the photographs so that time will freeze in each moment~

what else delays your intent,
moves you towards the life you are not?
what's that,
that moves you to despair?
the camera flashes,
makes you glow
but you know
you are not
