Valentine Bliss

Paradise or wherever this is, is a beautiful place,

 I for now call it so for I am with you,

 I swim like a swan in the tranquil depth of your voice

 wishing it were to be so for eternity.

 I shall travel far and wide,

 if all I need is to seek a glance of your – eternal bliss.

 A nice spring day with a silver cloud

 Every time the hint of grey shifts and the sun shines down,

 it is as if your smiles.

Sparkles and twinkles here and there,

 lilies and daisies everywhere, I can’t feel the delicate flowers,

 or the frozen mist

 For in the warmth of your embrace my senses fail.

 With a silent confession, a humid kiss

 when you give a stare with your sharp sight,

 my heartbeat tends to miss.

A Bleak Nightfall

For the long three years of you convincing me and about a yearlong lovely relationship we had there was always this nagging and itching feeling that quietly devoured me.  I could never be the one close enough to you with whom you could share the pain deep in your heart. I remember during the last fight we had, I was gripped by the terror that it was the end of the blooming amour. You said I was no one to you and that the only person you were close too and cared about did not include me.  

Deep inside I felt happy as I held myself responsible for all the arguments you had with your mom these days; I didn’t want to be the spoiler. She acquires a bigger segment of your life which nobody ever can vigorously seize. I felt blown away by fierce wind with emptiness. You didn’t realize what you had uttered and how much your words had triggered deep in my heart. They were mere words for you that dropped out of your mouth and disappeared. But for me it was an explosion that got shivers down my spine my blood froze through my veins. You were the only one for whom I could lose everything I had.

Things changed gradually. Each day doesn’t remain the same. Change is the only constant thing in the journey called life. I spend precious moments with you with a smile pasted on my face; I was not the one you loved until the frosty midnight.

 On our first outing we got to know each other better when we spend an entire day together; so much love around me still a hollow heart lying next to you. You spoke about the fun, the memories the joy we had entire day; you realized I was numb. The next moment you broke down. I can still hear the silence of that awful midnight you held me against you and cried until you were breathless. You cried of how much an important part I am in your life.

The tiny fluttering’s in my heart that like a flame resided. It felt as if it rained after a prolonged draught. Tears gushing out of my eyes, I held you so close as if we were one soul. The frost of that midnight disappeared in your arms so warm and cosy. My depths of despair captivated with your immense solicitude. 

LOVE PREVAILS...

LOVE PREVAILS...


Gathering all the energy that stalled in me, i strived hard to get back to my hostel room. Food poisoning had killed almost all the rats in my stomach. After which i refrained myself from the unhealthy mess food. My roommate had gone to visit her aunt which was another disappointment for me. 2nd floor seemed like a mountain trek. Each step i took toward my room, it reminded me of my mom who's repeated efforts of making me to learn to cook had gone in vain. My hands were numb,feet cold, and mouth dry out of breathlessness. Darkness had started to overshadow in front of my eyes. This illness had become unbearable for me. i could feel my body heat up as chills ran down my spine.
All i wanted was for someone who could be with me at this difficult moment, who could provide me with all the love and care that i was starving for. cushioned warmth of someone's arms i missed so badly. I felt like a withered plant anticipating for a beam of sunlight. I was standing right in front of my door trying to locate the keys when my sight started blurring. As i opened the door i tried to reach out for my phone so i could call for help. All I can recall is, I had called up on the very first number  that was on my dial list. After a few rings the person answered my call and all i could say was "hello" and then I collapsed on the floor.
When i regained consciousness, i could hear a sweet voice humming. Slowly and gradually the song became clearer. It was a familiar song by a person very close to my heart . I found myself safe and cozy in his arms. With his hand caressing my hair tenderly, he gently kissed my forehead. I looked at him with twinkling eyes. My heart was engulfed with happiness again and with a smile on my lips i enunciated  
 “I LOVE YOU DAD."
