Tonight, let me touch 
A few souls, with my whisper.
Disappear at dawn.

-

I'm a candle 
that can't stand 
until melted 
from down. 
You're fire
that warms me
making me stable 
on the ground. 
You're flame
that lightens up
the darkness 
all around.
I'm the wax
you kiss, 
choose death 
without a sound.

We live together,
we die together
from flicker
till the flicker.

-

You may cry on the sand
You may dry in the snow
Colors will change like nature
You need to let the wind blow.

-

You came once like rain
Storming, and left me behind
Leaving a rainbow

-

Let me
make you glad
by telling
that I love you.

Make me glad
by telling that
you love me too.

Come, let's fake!

-

Oh you call
me a poet
and ask me
to define poetry!

How can I ever?
I've seen only
a few changing seasons
and this life
isn't enough.

My poems are incomplete.

टूटा तारा देखकर
तुम्हें करीब माँगा
मगर तुम ना आये

फिर मुझे खयाल आया
की शायद
वो टूटा तारा
तुम ही थे

Where have I lost
that yellow tulip plant
which bloomed each day
with one little flower
after every night?

The winter, the monsoon
or summer, I know not
which and how, wiped it off but
now when I look back,
it seems as if it
was never there.

Was my land so empty
always...and I never knew
for now what I see,
the land is barren and
clouds are gone.

Please come.
The roots are hurting.

-

You and I are same.
You tell stories; fantasies.
I tell truth...harsh; realities.
Call us names,
we aren't sides of coin,
Flipped together,
add meaning when we join.

You, a butterfly,
wings like a rainbow
above dripping drops
and shades of white
joining fragmentations.

I'm stolen bones
moist under brown
bricks of hope
and lies of red
passing from generations.

You, a want
I, the device
Keep us running...
We keep running.

-

Will you please
inhale my anxieties
and exhale your smile?

For a green leaf once
Now tumbleweed,
Searching the roots
back again.

Prudent sun beam...
Move winds.
