By Pratishtha Kumari I will behave like paradoxical, Loving and hating the same person at the same time. I will accept their thoughts, yet reject them too, Agree to their suggestions, yet disagree in the same breath.   I want them to always stick to my ideas, To love and accept me, even when I am wrong. I want them near, always, Never wandering, never free, For if I become obsessed, Even a word with another feels like betrayal.   Jealousy rises like storm clouds, I will want

By Pritish Gupta There is an idea that lies far away Set in motion amongst the many traps  one triggers through their run beyond these gates Let me know what you see, maybe the chosen one you could be Though bestowed to touch light, why fall for the clouds that cover sky Look beyond, fly In the many many lands you shine as one Darling of all, precious little kid that runs her own course To you what dream will ever go unfulfilled  Say my name, make me be, become my origin I di

By Pritish Gupta Closed from the world, we keep ourselves to our hearts  We live each day laughing, loving but none utter a word  A word of care, word to show how much we adore the other sitting in our very home What is family to us, nothing is learning to us Could we not speak you ask, well my tongue tastes well My lips come apart at each sip, no reason to not be able to speak Yet in the evening running around we are told Even a little slither of hush, little ahhh of pain Wi

By Pritish Gupta A dime, my madam, a dime is all it had take The carriage across the northwood forest But beware, the fairies descent this time of the year As the snow basks everything in lustrous white They play in the fields of gods, to no forest they had ever went to No other home, me, a mere carrier of people  A merry maker this season, no rides to winter castle this time of year Yet the Christmas there, the locals call it heaven of earth No god be more pleased then the m

By Pritish Gupta What fairytale calls my idea They say the idiots in love don't know the art of mundane Love of rain. Shores of just the flowers beside the roads they walk Claim as they may, lovers are living in fantasy The worst idea of created reality All to adore, all to myth, all to folktales They reject it violently To what do I owe the mercy to explore love in reality that I so wistfully break apart Each rain has reflection of whole lifetimes The eyes that they reflect,

By Pritish Gupta Careful little fairy, the jar is heavy, regrets so many Say little dame, I saw many angels in my garden The love in their luster, magic in their form Soul in their smile, majestic their eyes I mere human asked for little things one too many The heart as prestine of conditon as it looks The inside glow golden, redone each crack Word by word, touch in touch, as the fingers crossed She who struggled to like even a flower, brought me bouquets of it, one too many

By Pritish Gupta Splashes of colors so many, it was Holi all over again I dreamt of nights where the smile of her's mimicks my mind The play of soul to hand, the puppet master in her and the dancing doll me I perfected myself a gentleman's hand, any touch, any word meant to make her existence the statement of my being Yet laying in bed along her first night,  My heart pounds, it hunts me down, never had i thought it was for me Every single instance, was the castle built, I co

By Pritish Gupta Meandering through the meadows  Sea of grass, all things lovely, all things warm A soul cold enough to bring ice age,  Wrecking the very seas where water found its way in Connecting all the world so away from eachother But where is the man behind the sun The warmth now lost, running in open fields Send him a message, call him home Tell him his friends called,  Lover divine is lost, moon no longer blues the nights We lost all who lived off our very existence 

By Pritish Gupta Bare hands, lead me through souless land I collect dust, not one hold to call a day mine Yet eyes, oh eyes of someone beside I write like the day I picked my pen was last I bury nature in endless cosmic stars Care not for laughs, care not for tears What it is to feel like a man meant to be Dare I speak of lost, all that my hands couldn't grasp Ledges I fell from, broken nails, no toils, no spoils, no wars, no cries Yet in empty room I hide from some bleak des

By Pritish Gupta Tricks you play on me, in your ballet I dance Under the moonlit streets of all the dust All the slippery mud, in the rain soaked garden Trick me in your romantic hymns, I play thee warrior Or the lovely consort, just this brave night Let's dispel all hauntings, first week of winter Special this year, a breeze tingles my spine Your words break the dance, the rythm,  I hear you less, skip around you, twist and turn Like the crumbling leaves fall upon your shoul

By Pritish Gupta Try and find what love is lost Carve a mural, carve a statue Give them all that gold, yet it is lost Travel far, travel ages apart, eons even Some world had life, some love in arms that stay warm Return to dust, ash burns in warm,  Let me find, I am hideous, full of lies Let me crave, love full of what universe never says Secrets worth all adventures, no gold ever compared Tell me god, I hate enduring this pain Tell me king, tell me duke, any higher being  Wh

By Naina Mishra I feel afraid moonlight, Don't leave me alone in dark, I tremble every night, I hear the dogs bark. My heartaches badly , Looking into my reflection, You're found nowhere sadly, Then I think of your affection. Sometimes you tease, Yet,glowing up everyone's world, Then we feel at ease, Making us grow up bold, Your hobby is to scold. Once we were buds with fears, Which were yet to bloom, Always with tears. One fine sunny day, Covered up with diamond like dew, Th

By Naina Mishra It was so dark, I was afraid every night Cos I could hear the dogs bark, There wasn't a single ray of light So I couldn't win the fight. With all the fears Unable to bloom So I was always with tears With yearning to be like the cherry blossoms. I didn't need much Just  wanted to feel warmth of a touch, So I kept searching For someone Loving. You were that someone  The encounter with you was a boon, You're the one Cos of whom I shall heal soon. You're beautiful

By Naina Mishra In this realm, With paths of needles, It's a horror dream, Along came the pebbles. A carpet that flies, Made-up of roses for me, Which summoned the butterflies, With your love for me. Time won't slow, With parting our way, Distance shall grow, But I wanna say, Even though you aren't near, Yet,you shall always stay dear. You're so lovable, So, memories just don't perish, Delete I wanna enable.. I shall leave  With your love for me, Left over days won't suffice,

By Naina Mishra Always I said a lie Saying that I was fine, Always with a smile. Crying every single night Cos I was a bud that couldn't bloom, War inside me continues so how do I fight? Yearning to be beautiful like the cherry blossom. Acting strong like a warrior Didn't realize something I was yearning badly for arrival of a saviour One who could be loving. Unaware that I'm still young with fears It was troubling so much Yet,hiding my tears Wanting to feel the warmth of a t

By Naina Mishra Every single step I fell, You never picked me, I learned to be a Rolly Polly Doll, Bounced back like a ball. I notice every detail of you, A scratch never goes unnoticed, Burns don't matter to you, You act and remain unaffected. Your love spoils me Something seems missing, Mommy just scold me You look lovely while scolding. A shadow approaching me It was so scaring, Please come and save me, Just when I was crying You came and embraced me, You bring warmth to m

By Naina Mishra You're my annoying one, Snatching people's cloth is your hobby, Yet, you're my loved one, Ever Since you were a baby. You're beautiful like an Aurora There lies in you milky way Like an amazing aura Always stay this way. I shall be your shield, Don't worry of the yield, Just work in the field. Nose of a piggy you have Let others say, They don't know the value, It's just unique In it's own way. Don't remain mute, Mouse looking teeth that you have, Makes you loo

By Naina Mishra stars all twinkle and shine,      I also wanted mine.                   Any was fine, Just then I found mine. The one just for me, A star brought down for me, In dark he guides me, Just not a star but a  North Star. Never does he sheds tears, Has no fears, Acts always strong, For so long. Each day passing by, I fear life's uncertainty, Want him to stay For an eternity. If fades away his shine, I endup to whine, The emptiness shall be imperishable, Because he's

By Dr. Mamatha Suthar Main toh chali thi rahein dhoondhti, kuch armaan liye, sapno ke tale. Thi feeki si, bujhi si hasi meri, na jaane kab yeh muskurahat khaas ban gayi — Tere aane se. Khulti na thi aankhein subah ho jaane se, na hoti koi wajah yunhi bahar jaane se. Jabse tere saath jud gaye raste mere, tabse sanwar gaye har din mere — Tere aane se. Tha har mausam bejaan meri zindagi mein, tere saath baithkar waqt jo guzaara, dhoop mein nami dikhi, barish mein bikharin boonde

By Nitika Bhutani But time moved fast, as time will do, And they grew old — unnoticed too. The hands that fed now shake in vain, The eyes that smiled now hide their pain. The ones who stayed through sleepless nights, Who dimmed their dreams to keep your lights, Now sit in rooms where silence hums, And wait for footsteps that never come. The walls once bright with their sweet song, Now hum of days that grew too long. Their laughter dimmed, their dreams turned grey, Yet love fo
