With Closed Eyes..

There was a time…

when silence meant peace..


Now it is…

the only language left..


The years passed gently..

They took everything anyway..


The heart learned,

how to beat

without ever feeling alive..


Dreams did not shatter..

They simply stopped returning…


Morning still arrives..

It no longer brings light..


The world celebrates

another beginning..

Mine ended

without farewell…


Some burdens

have no name..

They become

the person carrying them…


Even memories,

grow tired

of remembering..


Hope never left;

It just forgot

where to find me…


Faith became

a quiet room

with no footsteps..


Still…

the sky remains,

the stars endure,

and somewhere beyond

what the eyes can hold,

there must be

a mercy

greater than grief..


Until then…

I will carry

this silence,

like a prayer

that forgot

its own words..


And these lines,

Dekh tujhe bas hai jeena..

Tera hona nazrana…

Four Years..

Since that,
Last Wish..

This fourth,
I wanted to..

If prayers,
Are heard..

I Wished,
To say..

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..
