Lady With A Pen

My love!! The song of life has quietly turned into a melody,  the colors of flowers seem a little brighter, The horizon of the sky feels a little wider, And you ask me what has changed with you in my life.?? My love!! The four walls of my room no longer feel like a cage, The birds chirping by my window sound a little more playful , Even the shuffle of my Spotify has found its way to happy mix  And you ask me what has changed with you in my life.?? My love!! Standing facing a mirror with a smile has become a little more frequent,  the sound of bangles has started to excite me a little more,  Dressing up and grooming feels a little more fascinating  And you ask me what has changed with you in my life. My love!! The schedule of mine has quietly learned to blend with yours,  Calendars and train ticket apps are being visited frequently,  Somehow started paying more attention to the reels “best gift to your partner" And yet, you ask me what has...

Has the world ever stopped? And the silly people, rolling their eyes, would confidently say:  Never But, but, but, my love— Under the twinkling of the stars,  With the moonlight resting on your face,  sharing the same sky,  You spoke about your dreams,  And I, like a keen child, listening and imagining  Giving you the world you so desire.  Then, suddenly, a tingling sensation  Ran through my body. It was your hand on mine,  Pointing towards a shooting star.  But I never looked up. My eyes fixated on you,  My heart forgot its rhythm, My breath forgot its way, And the time had lost its meaning.  And I— Was lost in the moment.    So, yes, my love— the world really does stop .                                                                    ...

Do you remember the day? When the sun was ready to surrender itself to the sky, And the sky, to embrace the sun, had widened its arms  While the soothing breeze bore witness to this holy moment  And the flowers were, as if, cheering and dancing. What were we in that beautiful moment? Just the two blessed spectators,   sharing the same bench,  With you gently extending your arms to wrap me around  And as the melted sun—  I surrendered myself to you right away. And what were we thinking? Wherever the sun might wander throughout the day, When the day draws to an end, It finds its way back to its sky. And no matter wherever life takes us Or however long the journey may be— I will always find my way back to my sky, My home, You ⁠♡                                                               ...

And in the chaos, Those arms of yours around me, While I clutch your shirt tight to get better hold of you— The fear of you leaving like others,  The fear of going through the same pain, The fear of breaking my heart into pieces and left in the corner of the room fixing it, Knowing this time it's going to break into millions of even smaller parts, some part will go missing, widening the void My hold gets tighter with the thoughts,  The thought of not seeing you again,  The thought of being surrounded by my insecurities, The thought of the world we created together, eroding away, The thoughts, the thoughts and the thoughts You hug me a little tighter, embracing my hair and then a kiss on my forehead, Cupping my face, looking into my eyes with a sense of assurance Those eyes say it all, the sense of security,  A promise to keep my heart safe,  A promise to hold me in your arms forever,  A promise to always watch the starry nights together,  A...

Is it so hard to find love? Are the lovers of today merely characters of fiction? Are there no people like us out there? Are there no people who celebrate a love and share a bond like we did — like the way I used to put my head on your shoulder for hours without saying a word, and how magically we never felt that something was incomplete?   —How you always sought a reason to place your lips on my forehead? And, I remember how your eyes sparkled everytime you saw me. Out of billions of people, I was your one and only priority. Walking around having your hand clasp mine always felt like walking down the aisle after being pronounced to be together. I remember how you introduced me to the world— "Hey, meet her. She is my woman ." You put every little effort to make me bare all my teeth and smile. Everytime you adjusted your bike mirror, you made it so as to get my clear view. You dealt with all of my tantrums with a smile on your face, like it was your duty to keep yo...

A hug is nothing but a simple gesture, but when you suddenly pulled me towards yourself, closing the space between us, your chin resting on my shoulder and your hands wrapped tightly round my waist, you took a deep breath.  A breath which gave rise to many puzzling questions — Do I complete you? Or, did you miss me so much? Am I your solace? Or, do you love me? Did you just want to hug someone? Was it merely a hug? Do you hug everyone the same way? Or, do I mean everything to you? With each passing second, I felt your grip getting stronger. It felt like you wanted me completely inside you— wanted to inhale every bit of me into you. My mind went numb for a few seconds but as I regained pace, I hugged you back tightly. Without uttering a word, I wanted to say loudly:  Yes, I love you. You mean world to me. You are my safe place and I feel like a child when you make me sit in your lap with one hand caressing my hair and other wrapping around me. Your mere presence mak...

A dazzling night and you by my side, sharing the same sky. Night feels magical, having a different aroma in the air. Is it night's magic or merely your presence igniting the  surrounding as well as me? A sudden but gentle breeze passes with mild jasmine smell. Yes, it is your smell. I take a deep breath as I want to inhale all of you inside me. Your sudden move towards me makes my mind go numb and my heart fluttering. You cover me with a blanket as if the wind might take me away with it. As soon as I regain my pace, wild imagination makes my heart race. What if your fingers touch my neck and you slowly move towards me to leave your mark on my neck to tell the world that I am only yours? What if you move towards me to cup my face and rub your fingers on my lips? What if you just hug me tightly, your hands wrapping me completely to show how much I mean to you? Can't there be other ways to show how much you care about me than you covering me? Ask me, I will show you pr...
