When mystery never unfolds !

HIS warm breath was still on HER neck,

humming though ears and going till the heart

embracing the heart from all four quarters

His sweet nothings were still in the air,

dancing with glory of their togetherness

making an incision in the middle of her heart.

HIS affectionate sight was so intense 

looking into HER eyes as if meeting them 

halfway while making space in HER heart

His subtle and restless touch of fingers

still loom large on HER knotted fingers

and caressing her finger tips with her thumb

HIS look travelling till the road end

still layering HER own glance

in whatever or whosoever SHE saw

HIS lips twirled like vine of grape

mere look of which melted HER 

as if she is a snow ball melting near the fire

HIS voice looming around like a whirlwind

making a funnel in which HER being

is twirling deep down & down.

In spite of all the remoteness

HE is not around HER

but SHE is still clinging to the mystery

which might unfold

May be at the time of 'The ultimate journey'

#Love - The eternal journey

Love

We can not force ourselves to love - or to withhold it. At best we can curb our actions. The heart itself is beyond our control. That is its power and its weakness.

Indifferent

It seems yesterday only, when she was a little girl, as innocent as it can be. Who can forget going to Nani Ke ghar every year. She with her cousin going out to have tiki and golgappe under scorching sun was a child's play. 

Mummy scolded and commented but who was listening. She was in her dream world where things were plain simple, no complications. 

Then why things turned upside down and she became an adult in a night when her cousin forced himself on her. 

He was her friend, brother, mate and mentor. 

She lost the meaning of relationships that ever existed.

When such meanings are lost one becomes indifferent and indifference hurts the most, even more than kindness. 

She is now indifferent, indifferent to the world ! 

हैप्पी बर्थडे आरिन !

वो झिलमिलाती हंसी

वो आँखों में शरारत

वो नन्हे हाथॊ से

मुझे छूना ,

वो छोटी छोटी उंगलीयो से

मेरे गालॊन को सहलाना

वो तेरा तेज़ी से दौड़ना

और मेरे ऊपर जम्प लगाना !

वो तेरे ढेरॊन सवाल

और उनके  मुश्किल जवाब

वो तेरा टॉयज के लिए मचलना

वो तेरा टीवी के लिए रोना

वो तेरा चॉकलेट के लिए

झीकना

वो तेरा घूमने जाने के लिए

मनाना

वो तेरा लेटेस्ट फ़िल्मी गाने गाना

वो तेरा टीवी में देखके

डांस कॉपी करना !

वो तेरा हमेशा अपनी पसंद के

कपढ़े निकाल कर पहनना

और सारी अलमारी खराब कर देना

वो तेरे मीठे बातें बनाना

और उन्हें बार बार सुनाना

वो बड़े भाई से लड़ना

और फिरउसी के साथ

खेलना !

यह सब कुछ सालों में खो जाने है,

और तुझे एक समझदार और परिपक्व

इंसान बन जाना है !

पर मैं वहीं हूँ  अभी

जब तीन साल पहले तुमने आकर

मेरा घर खुशबू से भर दिया था !

मैं हमेशा यहीं रहूंगी

इन् नन्हे कदमॊ के साथ

इन् प्यारी बातों के साथ

इन् नन्ही  उंगलियों के साथ

इन् शरारती आँखों में

इस छोटे से आलिंगन में

सदा ही !

हैप्पी बर्थडे आरिन !
