Come, this November...

By -

You lit that fire
Inside me, of course
I burn myself in it 
Twice a day, if not more
I comb my hair, I dress my eyes
And press my toes on bare floor

Impure desires spark
Passion in my body
Wrapping my arms around
I sway away
I miss you, I love you
I need you, just like yesterday

To fast-forward time
I hum an old melody
Sprinkling some hope
On my weary heart
I shuffle the memories
Sequencing it to the very start 

Been awfully long
Since we shared a cup of tea
Been long enough
For me to remember
Come, My Love
Come, this November...

Rewind - September 2023

 I wrote the following in September. Sometimes, I feel I will forget the art of writing couplets because I am not writing at all this year. I strongly believe you have to practice to hone your craft. And I am not doing that. Perhaps I schedule a time to write a poem. Or I need better time management skills. Date Published 09/05/2023 मुझे उसके जाने का इतना अफ़सोस नहीं हुआ  जितना इस बात का कि इतने सालों तक उसे रहने ही क्यों दिया  Love, Saru

I Am Not Alone

Last year blessed me, He walked silently into my life. It was Love, That took me in its stride. One evening we walked holding hands, Then, I told him what I felt in heart. He said we were one soul, Who were living in parts. To bring the parts together, We fought with the world and tied the knot. Being one soul, Gave life a whole new spot. Chirping birds, floating clouds, Nature conspired for us. Always swimming against the tide, Life was in an adrenaline rush. This year cursed me, He walked silently out of my life. It was Death, That took him in its stride.       Yesterday his soul was saying, Fearing memories will fade, he can’t move on. He will stay and admire me, Standing always by my side from dusk to dawn.
