Until The End…

In my pauses..

In the quiet corners where courage grew…

In the way I learned to listen..

To hope, because someone else hoped for me…

In the soft belief that I could be more..

Because it was seen in me, before I ever saw it…

I don't know what their days look like now..

I don't know if my name still stirs anything…

But I hope there is peace..

And if this is how it ends — no words, no return..

Just memory and silence and the weight of what was…

Then so be it..

Because I would rather hold that memory with love…

Than ever bring a shadow to their light again..

To the one I named before I knew their name..

To the green eyes that steadied the storm…

To the voice that made silence feel safe..

To the soul I released so they could be free…

They were..

They are…

They will always be - my green!

--

Even In Silence..

Apne gham ko geet bana kar gaa lena,

Raag purana tera bhi hai mera bhi…

--

Stopped..

Was asked,

To not ask..

Once..

But was it,

For now..

Too?

I know not..

Praying,

For safety..

For yours,

And ours..

Dialed,

Stopped,

Dialed again,

Shivered and..

--

One Wish..

Tears blur light..

Wishes hold weight..

Hope you felt,

When I said…

--

This Dream, Last Night..

In this dream, last night,

A cry was lost unseen…

In tears, my path was blurred,

Each step was wrongly turned…

My breath.. stolen away,

The hollow air was choked..

No ground I felt beneath,

Silence - deeply breathed…

So tried to reach out,

And stairs is where we met..

Tears, if we call them still,

Only made the floors wet…

Two souls, drowned low,

No life was ever found..

A castle built on faith,

Only ruins were left crying..

Praying, that you are well,

You are, just who will tell..
