वसुधा


मैं पृथ्वी हूँ
मैं ही आकाश
मैं ही धरती हूँ
आग लगा कर
जल से बुझाने वाली
मैं ही हूँ
मनुष्यों के नए नए
अविष्कारों से परेशान
अपने मतलब के लिए
इस्तेमाल करने वालों से
मैं दुखी यहां रो रही हूँ
ये मेरे ही आँसू
बाड़ का रूप ले रहे हैं
इन्हें ज़िन्दगी देने वाली
और लेने वाली भी मैं
पर फिर भी इनकी नज़रों में
बुरी हूँ मैं
है एक शर्त इस बार मेरी
गर ये लौटा दे मुझे मेरी पहचान
तो इनकी धड़कने बक्श दूँ मैं...

आजकल का नया दौर

आज कल के ज़माने में
ये नया बदलाव कैसा
एक ओर हमारी माएं अपने
बहादुरी के किस्से सुनाती हैं
और दूसरी तरफ से वें हमें
घर बैठे बैठे खुद को बचाने
की तरकीबें समझाती हैं
खुद वें अपने जुड़ो-कराटे
सीखने की कहानियां बताती हैं
मगर हमें सिर्फ कपड़ो की
लंबाई का ज्ञान देती रहती हैं
क्या हाल किया था उन्होंने
उस लड़के का जिसने एक नज़र
बस उन्हें देख लिया था
पर हमें वैसे ही लड़कों से
छुपकर चलने को कहती हैं
आज कल के ज़माने में
ये नया बदलाव कैसा
जहां माएं हमें हिम्मत ना देकर
डर डरके जीना सिखा रहीं हैं...

Poetry

Poetry. It has been occupying a lot of my mind lately. I wanted to build a page just for my poems, which I finally did (breathholdingspells.wordpress.com) because maybe getting published is actually a dream somewhere buried in my heart. But some dreams are beautiful as it is.
This time it's more, I've realised the words really float in our subconscious mind waiting for a trigger either audio or visual or even sensory and then the notes begin. Like a song where the music still plays when the lyrics aren't being sung.
This time it's about originality, anything and everything I think I write, I design, I draw and I take pictures of every subtle thing for it was bold enough to catch my attention. Like a fallen flower after its full bloom looks so serene. Like the smooth crispy pencil sharpenings still twisted into a perfect flower. Like an old peacock feather once kept in my diary now torn and out of shape yet only its memories afresh. Like a newly grown interest in calligraphy which makes it harder to separate from writing now.
It is just a wordplay and I take pride in it. In the world where people play with each other's emotions, feelings, I chose to play with the words. I might pick them from mid-sentences, I may even leave them incomplete but I will let you perceive its meaning in your own satisfying way.
Some may have an advanced language touch, some may be a part of your daily conversations and some may sound just like usual words. Just remember they are powerful, if not to you but to someone. Ohh not necessarily me, for there are people hungry enough, craving for love, that they might just need them.

So let's see how far it takes thee cause the love for poetry shall never die in me.

Happy reading folks!

Book Review-Milk and Honey

Milk and honey
Author- Rupi Kaur
Publisher- Andrews McMeel Publishing
Format- Paperback
M.R.P- 499
No. of pages- 208

Milk and Honey is an anthology written by a young prolific writer, Rupi Kaur. A collection of poetry, prose, and hand-drawn illustrations, the book has four chapters dealing with four common issues developing in a young mind. These are titled as "the hurting", "the loving", "the breaking", and "the healing". The author designed the book from cover to cover, illustrating pictures that were woven in with her words.
The hurting describes different emotions of a female mind and body, about the silence a girl learns from her mother, the inappropriate touch by the males and the pain of a heaving chest radiating to down there.
The loving expresses the unconditional love of a mother who gives her everything (mind, body, soul) in bringing a new life into this world. The loving shows the passion of a couple which lays hidden during an argument but emerges out erotically on making up.
The breaking will capture your mind, the wilting love will make you travel back to all those relationships where you forgot to breathe and the words will help you find solace no matter it all ended. Eventually it will leave you with a smile and praise for the author.
The healing will teach you to believe first in your own self because that is the moment when you rehabilitate back into the world, your heart mends slowly, your mind feels healthy and you feel blissful.

From the book-
  • the thing about having
       an alcoholic parent
       is an alcoholic parent
       does not exist

       simply
       an alcoholic
       who could not stay sober
        long enough to raise their kids (39)

  • what am i to you he asks
       i put my hands in his lap
       and whisper you
       are every hope
       i’ve ever had
       in human form (49)

  • the very thought of you
       has my legs spread apart
       like an easel with a canvas
       begging for art (57)

  • you might not have been my first love
       but you were the love that made
       all the other loves
       irrelevant (63)

  • it wasn't you i was kissing
       - don't be mistaken
       it was him on my mind
       your lips were just convenient (113)

  • i don't know why
       i split myself open
       for others knowing
       sewing myself up
       hurts this much
       afterward (125)

  • perhaps the saddest of all
      are those who live waiting
      for someone they're not
      sure exists
      - 7 billion people (157)

  • for you to see beauty here
      does not mean
      there is beauty in me
      it means there is beauty rooted
      so deep within you
      you can't help but
      see it everywhere (192)

These are just a few words I shared here but there is a whole new world in the book. Take your favourite cup of tea/coffee and go on read it!

Rating- 4.5/5

I have the beautiful rains waiting for me by the window.
Sayonara!

Another time another place

These feelings have no end
Even if we separate,
I will meet you again
Another time another place.
If not my voice
My words shall reach you,
I'll return to reside in that heart
For this love is true.
You can move on
You don't have to stop,
It will just be my soul
Protecting round the clock.
One day shall come
Unknowingly you'll grieve,
Silently sliding out as tears
Through your eyes I will leave.
Run your fingers on the pages
Read my words to embrace,
& we shall meet again
Another time another place.

Dim yellow lights!

That fear of impossible
The faith, that its possible
By force or by choice
That one decisive voice
The mind struggles with
When heart is against it
But we surrender to that
Invisible yet bleak moment 
Between blunder & mistake
Where everything feels right
In those dim yellow lights!

Their First...

With my fragile heart, don't you play
Oh dear, love me some shades of grey..
A dark abyss, endless night
Everything was perfect, beautifully right
Watching her smile he realised now
She was more adorable, on the left somehow
His lips lied but the only thing he wished,
Stare those cute dimples & mesmerising eyes
Unaware he was, she struggled as well
Difficult to hide, feelings she could not tell
How much she resisted his scent 
Every time the wind blew
His breath, passionate voice into her ears
For it made her heart skip a beat or two!
With my fragile heart, don't you play
Oh dear, just love me some shades of grey..
Slightly through the curtains, daylight seeped in
With a new beginning, bright morning came
In their minds both wondering the same
No touching, it was their first night together
Yet the two hearts connected forever!

Weird Friendships...

Together or not, till the very end
Where we never forget that friend 
Who spoke behind our back
But never lied to our face
Made fun of everything 
Still cried along, helping find solace
Though blaming all the failures
Standing proud during the achievements
Leaving behind so many times
Comes back crawling to make amends
Not present on our happiest day
But there, before our eyes give tears their way
At night making us lose hope
Morning, first one to boost in the confidence 
Forcing into the first alcohol experience someday 
Next day gives lecture on forbiddance
No where around when we fall in love
Still cheering us up during break ups
Yes we all have such weird friendships
Matter of time to realise
And hold on to them
Cherishing as life's bizarre prize!
