- Koi Apna Sa -

- Koi Apna Sa -

Suni suni sadko pe,

Koi toh musafir hota...

Kaali andheri raaton mein,

Koi toh tanhayoon ka saathi hota...

Shaant aur surili raaton mein,

Jagmagate sitaron k jaisa...

Kaale badalon k sang,

Koi toh chand jaisa saathi hota...

Rhim jhim savan mein,

Saat rangon jaise muskurata...

Reait mein paani jaise,

Koi toh aansuon ka saathi hota...

Yeh dil kuch na chahe,

Paharoon jaise akeli raina mein...

Bus chund saanson jaisa apna,

Koi toh saacha saathi hota...

Symphony of the silent night !

(Post # 6)

 

It was a cool night after a scorching day, she was sitting by the sea face on the concrete pavement eyeing the vast expanse of sea before her. The full moon was in shades of dull light yellow and playing hide and seek with the dark black clouds that adorned the starry sky, the weather was pleasant after the city was hit by showers an hour or so back... She sat there hugging her knees resting her chin on them. She seemed to be tranquil on the front but was feeling a mess inside, the silent winds sent shrills down her spine resurrecting the buried pain and emotions and a tear trickled from the corner of her eye making its way down her cherry cheeks clouding her eyes, yet she sat unmoved lost in her own reverie.

Sitting on a lone bench,

Eyeing the splendid sea...

The gushing sound of waves,

Brings back some memories to me !

The ardour of rains,

And the calmness of breeze,

Makes me want to believe...

You too care for me !

On days when I fear,

I wish you were there to hold me...

But all I can do is...

Hold back my tears still loving thee.

Neither can I deny,

Nor can I accept,

Yet at times like these...

My heart wishes you too loved me !

Breaking from her trance she realized they were just like the shore and the sea; neither can they be together nor apart but at some point they do meet and at times, wait is the only hope you have. Thinking so she let out a sigh and gathered herself, she was a strong girl and she had to be one for them...she could just not loose hope and cry...maybe love was not meant to be but friendship forever! Saying so to herself she walked home with a smile though her eyes had a different tale to tell.

Forever Abide

It's been such a long time..that I posted something but now finally I'm done with my exams and finally free :)

Missed you guys and even your blogs...will catch up with all your stuff in sometime...have loads to read...:)

So without much ado here is the poem...hope you like it!

Forever Abide

Woke up to a bright and sunny day,

Yet somewhere wished it would pour today!

As sometimes too much of warmth also burns...

And you realize people do feign, cheat and fray.

Leaving you broken and shattered,

Amidst the crowd you walk alone!

Trying to let go the memories you made...

Though you hope for things to revert back to same.

You fall and you stumble,

And you're stuck up in a muddle!

As there is a lot that the mirror does not show...

Yet you give a try and believe, only to be deceived.

Reality does bite as some say,

So its better to quietly walk away!

With a pinch of hope and tear in eye...

You build back yourself with all your might.

Repressing the surging sullenness,

With all the happiness you've gathered along!

Spring now welcomes you back from gloom...

But, somewhere the longing of a true friend forever looms.

Fatima

MOMENTS 

(This is actually the Post #5...a continuation from this series Post #4)

"As the rain drops caress my soul, let them caress yours too,

Let your guards down and enjoy the heavenly pleasure

of soaking in contentment and glee,

Gathering happy memories with you and giving way to more,

Letting your mistakes and past flow and purify you to the core,

Enjoy this wonderful weather...

With a smile and joy in your eyes like I do !"

        The December rains always leave me in a trance, heavy rainfall accompanied by snowfall later mesmerizes me as the weather is considerably below and beautiful and that adds to the unending expanse of scenic beauty as romance is in the air.

        Unlike other days, today I'm sitting by the window pane and enjoying the pleasant and exotic beauty of nature contemplating how there was a time when I freely twirled and swirled in the rains and soaked my soul and was the most boisterous girl in the locality, but now I just admire and enjoy the beauty silently just like a demure soul. It is not that I'm a shy person or that melancholy has hit me oft recently it's just I'm observing and looking at life through a different angle. I'm not ignorant but an observant, "Joys and sorrows are a part and parcel of life, one sleeps whilst the other is awake!"  I learnt this from him I learnt a lot from him. He showed me the true meaning of love, concern and friendship. When people sympathized with me, he was empathetic to me. He was like the light in darkness and penetrated my abode with ease when others found it crooky. And though we may be apart, we are very much together.

"Twirling and swirling in the rain,

Drenching my soul,

A lone tear escapes...
I wonder and let out a sigh."

         Somewhere, same time he was walking through crooked lanes and narrow roads and enjoying the ethereal beauty of nature, he was not much of a person who admired nature but since the advent of her in his life he gained joy even in the smallest of things. Children danced and giggled in the rains, vendors sold their stuff each and everything was peaceful amidst the chaos. He felt like a free bird, raring and exuberant exploring the world and a thousand Watt smile lingered on his face remembering the words, "Hey, Mayank you walking with an umbrella in these rains? I know its an absurd question to ask but God you seriously don't know how to savor such a beautiful moment!" Tamanna's words rang loudly in his mind.

        With that he folded his umbrella and was contented covering the further journey soaking himself completely. He imagined Tamanna dancing in the rains and urging him to join her; the one girl who taught him to enjoy small moments of life despite the fact being a little depressed herself at times. She was really an enigma to him, and there she called him a mystery waiting to unfold. A lone tear escaped his eyes just remembering those beautiful moments!  

P.S: The girl described earlier in the first para is Tamanna.

....Jaane Anjaane....

....Jaane Anjaane....

Bewafa na mein, bewafa na woh...

Zindagi ke mele mein,

Pyaar ke khel mein,

Tanhan hoon mein, tanhan hai woh....

Phool aur kaantein,

Raastein mein beche hai dono...

Girte sambhalte aapni manzil ki aur chalte,

Bahar aur patjhad ke jaise hum milte bichadte...

Zindagi ke iss khel mein,

Anjaan se safar mein,

Tanhan hoon mein...

Najaane kaisa hai woh?
