The lady in Pink



Gulabi taaseer hai gulabi mazhab hai
aaj rang ka jashn hai, har jashn main gulabi rang hai
(Pink is the impact, pink is the religion
today is the celebration of colours, every celebration has pink in it)

She brandishes her beautiful, all white pure teeth
and smells of fresh wind
that a sudden shimmery summer brings
when you are in shade
this verse is all about pink
and her eyes reflected the color
in many ways,
Some you cannot imagine

I am platonically mesmerized
“je suis hypnotisé” as they say in French
The strawberry season tried it’s best
But I prefer her nonchalance today
and the jazz at the café
finds the pink melodies

from the ramparts of my closed emotions
I am surely smitten
of an eternal self
In the vivid imagination
of the unknown karmic world
She holds my hand and we see pink and orange skies
Different colors
Play around the bonfire of togetherness

Her eyes play with the
Texture of my thoughts
The curious subtle sobriety
and the serendipitous laughter
all are gifted, all together
and what can I say
of the emotions of my fluttering heart?

Pink uplifts me today
And this fall, of an earlier me,
is seamless

Rise with you

  When the sun stretches its golden arms, and the morning whispers your name, I think of you, steady as the tide, warm as the hearth, a beacon in the quiet storm.   Your laughter, a melody that dances through the chaos, a song I hum when the world grows heavy. Your spirit, unyielding, a tree rooted deep, its branches reaching for the infinite sky.   In your presence, I am more. Not because you fill me, but because you remind me of the light I carry within. You are the mirror that reflects the beauty I often forget.   Together, we are a symphony— not perfect, but alive, each note a testament to the joy of being seen, of being known. You are my safe harbour, my compass in the wild, my friend, my love, my vista   And when the night falls, and the stars blink awake, I will rise with you not above, not below, but besides, always besides, in the quiet grace of this boundless love.   And when the night descen...

Morning Walk

  I was smitten by the silence of the dawn, or perhaps it was the dew that clung to the grass like a secret too fragile to speak. The trees stood tall, their leaves whispering stories of nights spent wrestling the wind, and I thought it was just me but the sparrow, too, carried the weight of its nest, the ant its crumb, the spider its web, each thread trembling with the burden of holding on.   The sun rose, not with a fanfare, but with a quiet insistence, pushing through the haze like a hand reaching for a forgotten name.   A butterfly brushed past, its wings a flicker of pale yellow against the orange sky, and I thought it was just me but the flower, too, had its petals to unfurl, its nectar to offer, its brief, bright moment in the sun.   The path stretched ahead, winding through the shadows and the light, and I thought it was just me but the earth, too, had its cracks to mend, its roots to...

Hope

Hope is a green vine, climbing the walls of the forgotten, its tendrils reaching for the sun even in the hour of shadows. It does not ask permission— it grows, it persists, it wraps itself around the ruins and whispers, “Me Voici”   Hope is the sea, vast and untamed, its salt on your lips, its rhythm in your chest. It does not sleep it rises, it falls, it carries you even when you cannot see the shore.   Hope is the bread broken in the darkest hour, the warmth of shared hands, the taste of something that will not let you starve. It does not explain it feeds, it sustains, it says, Come, eat, there is enough for everyone.   Hope is the bird that sings at the edge of dawn, its song a thread stitching the torn sky. It does not falter it calls, it rises, it reminds you that the night is not eternal. Hope is the hand you did not expect to hold yours, the voice that says your name when the silence is too loud. It does not abandon it stays, it breathes, it says, You are not alone...
