you will always be mine

i don't hate you.

trust me, it's a difficult thing to do.

i hate him,
for reminding me of you.

mark my words,

before the rain gods stop crying,
you will be mine forever. 

laughter and tears, pleasure and punishment

yesterday, I lost something very precious.
but today what hurts more than the void in my soul,
is the realisation that it was never really mine to lose.

he never did belong to me after all. 

free lesson for your soul

remember this,
until the skies and the oceans remain blue,
until the rain stops washing away our sins,
and until the sun's heat no longer makes you burn,

he does not belong to you
just as you do not belong anywhere.

he who loves, will never love again

"mein dil ka raaz kehta hoon,
ki jab jab saans leta hoon, 
tera hi naam leta hoon,
yeh tune kya kiya"

even the calmest sea
has to claim a lonely life
once in a while.

even your most reassuring words
have to surrender
to the truth in your eyes.

don't fear, my love
the darkness is yet to come.

truth: one size fits all

as the seasons move from warm to cold,
your arms envelope me tighter.
your words are rushed, your eyes are closed,
and your breath is hot from disbelief.
momentary hugs seem longer,
blissful kisses seem to go on forever,
and your desperate fingers seem to look for more
as they trace known routes on my body.

imagine if your eyes lied too!
we would both be drowned
in this sea of politeness.
