In love

Deeply in love he returned,

 to her each day.

For she was the only,

who could make him stay.

Take him far away from the 

filth in this world.

Make him feel he did not *need* 

validation from another girl.

To make him feel enough, 

confident and satisfied. 

To make him believe 

he had a future, very bright!

She was his teacher,

his guardian angel,

his best friend!

Never left his side

like a true friend till the end.

She was the protagonist, 

from his favorite book.

It didn’t matter how she looked!

For someone has rightly said- 

A book will never leave your side!

He fell for this character,

there was nothing to hide.

Destination unknown

Driving on those curvy roads 

with a destination unknown 

Alone with my backpack

Having come so far

away from home,

Venturing into the wild unexplored

Beautiful rivers, water falls, forest core zones

And mountains out of bounds 

Untouched by tourists and their drones 

Where humanity makes love to nature

Air, water and sky mourns

Or co-exists together

And greatness is born. 

There is peace in exploring new places-

Not many may understand!

What it is to have a drink or two in a foreign land.

Waking up before dawn to watch sunrise-

Dive deep in the sea or play with dunes of sand.

Travelling to these places is what makes me feel alive 

Taste different foods, 

live a different life.

I know it’s a dream many dream

and I know I naive 

I am not on drugs honey,

but I can’t let go of this high.

True love

I cannot keep writing poems

For a love that smelled

liked mix fruit jam

but tasted sour!

I cannot keep giving a damn 

and wasting away my precious hours

when his love was a cactus

instead of a bunch of flowers!

I cannot keep remembering his birthdays

those precious special dates 

And how devilishly handsome he looked in those shades

For it pains me to remember it all

You should rise in love, and not fall

I tell myself 

again and again 

that he cheated- it makes me feel sane

But he did not! 

My love hangs like a shirt freshly ironed for a no work day.

All efforts in vain!

And he got no shame,

in posting pictures with the bitch 

who is mad in love, 

ready is to be tamed!

She doesn’t know 

what has she got into.

It’s a bloodbath,

He is a psychopath!

True love-

my dear, is something 

you’ll wish you never had!
