how to create creativity

"bandook dikha dikha ke kya pyaar karegi,
kabhi chehra bhi dikhana"

now, it is a simple statement of fact
that you are here. and you are not here.
only the complete absence of thought
can rid my mind of you.
but as wise men once said,
you can never forget. you can only replace.
so i look to every unimaginable sin
to replace your thought in my mind.
but even your silence is poetry.
and no escape from these words
flowing through my veins.

now, it is a simple statement of fact
that i will change your life forever,
or your money back.
guaranteed smiles in the darkness,
threshold promises of the best quality ever.

one look from you, upwards to the heavens
brings down rain that can drown the oceans.
how can a mere goddess like me
look in to your eyes,
and not feel time stopping in its tracks,
waiting for your smile, to continue breathing?

darling

"bada badtameez, besharam, khudgarz hota hai.
par pyaar to aise hi hota hai."

i told a terrible lie once,
i remember your face when i said the words.
it was a simple, inconceivable thought
that would go on
to determine which way the wind blew.

but the trees knew of my deception.
the rain came down like tears
warning you to stay away from here.
and the sun refused to shine
giving you a sign to let me go.
even the darkness whispered quietly,
advising caution against the raging fire.

the entire universe stayed awake
from nightfall until the moon woke up again,
trying to burn us down.

and all it took was a few words.
truth, disguised as lies,
to bring down a goddess
and remind her of her only weakness.

yes, even goddesses pretend to be weak,
when their gods are occupied
with such trivial matters such as love.
