    A fight between mind and heart will most possibly end in tears...The ending brought chills in me Saru. The 2nd stanza is so meaningful. Love it Saru.

    Memories, the last day in wild prairie
    Knocks on my window pane
    Ushers a wild smile on my lips
    But never eases off my pain
    nice words ! straight from Heart

    I loved the second and the third para...suddenly makes it all real. Different from other love poems which focus on more rose tinted aspects of love. This was a tale of a terrible self realization...2 lost souls, beautiful!

      Lets forget that I have written it. I feel this is true. You want someone back only if they want to and love you. And I do believe once lovers can never be friends. Thanks for reading.

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.
