...distance...

Round and Round
is the globe
More of a friends on
ferry-of-hope
Where,
The ends always meet
but we are yet to greet
We share hugs
in tons and tons
Coated in dust
of love minus lust.

-- Tanvi D

...notorious angel with horns...

...where am I...

My isolation

Is our love's

Consolation

 

My solitude

Is because of

My attitude

 

My tears

Are due to

The wasted years

 

My laughter

Is a result of

The jokes you chatter

 

My success

Is an output of

Mother's caress

 

My loss

Is a result of

My flaws

 

My love

Is a result of

Your eyes that shove

 

My life

Is an outcome of

Heart and mind strife

-- Tanvi D

 

Life is Something

Life is

The time spent

In between

Birth and Death

 

Life is

God's sketch

To see us

In front of Him

 

Life is

A chance stolen

To live our

Dream forever

 

Life is

To love that someone

Immaterial of

Its existence

 

Life is

A celebration

Of the reasons

That make us happy

 

Life is

To zestfully walk

Up the ladder

To reach another one

 

Life is

To live each moment

Wholeheartedly

Being meant only for you

-- Tanvi D

...one sided affair...

My open arms

Your hidden heart

 

Found a seed

My unknown deed

 

Naming it as love

Nurturing it as my only

 

Mistaken intercourse

Assumptions were the source

 

Premature outlet

Suffocating is the result

-- Tanvi D

...I simply say...

To my mind, I always said

Don't take in more memories

 

To my eyes, I always said

Don't read the unwritten

 

To my hand, I always said

Don't touch sharp edged things

 

To my legs, I always said

Don't walk to closer

 

To my heart, I always said

Don't love uncertainties

 

To my reflection, I always said

Don't only say.

 

-- Tanvi D

...the mask for sorrow...

Darkness and Moonlight

Cornered the wall

Memories and thoughts

Shredded this fall

 

Tossed and turned

Yet no rescue

Eyes shut and open

Sleep has escaped

 

Cigarette butts around

Ash flying within

Smoke flew away

Locking her to life

 

Helpless and Anger

Formed poison in her

Change has sucked in

Love turned hate

 

Bankruptcy of emotions

Heart turns expensive

Inflation of love

She saves it for none

 

Praying only peace

Loneliness, her temple

Talking only faith

She expected change

 

Silence turned loud

On Moon's arrival

Pushing her to sleep

Honks a scary dream

 

Cheeks turn wet

Loud was the pain

Love was needed

Kicked it again

 

Scar's increasing depth

Satan enters blood

Screaming to heal

Enjoying the itch too

 

Peeling of pain

Pleasure doubles

Reaching the core

Cleansing process starts

 

HE is voiceless

Sent guiding sunlight

Resurrection is called-for

Peace finally is seen

-- Tanvi D

...it rains love...

Sudden overcast

Besides the window

Got sprinkled with some

 

Sipping some ginger tea

Recollects

The shared cup

 

Somber clouds are giving

The look, the supply

Isn't limited today

 

Like the first love

Intense and serene

Starts finally

 

And it falls

With beauty, sliding

All over the earth

 

Door bell rings

Unexpected pause

Fun for the kids

 

Getting upset they go

Giving a clear picture now

A passing affair

 

Later understanding

Door wasn't hers, it was

His missed call

 

Back with a some more

Not hesitating, he falls

And hugs her

 

Now they dance

Waltz or something

Rhythm in the heart

 

Heart-beats entangled

Melody created

Need no more

 

Now it's not the rains

But the breeze

That keeps them connected

 

Getting addicted to the sight

Many volunteers now

Even age no bar

 

Heart being young, they

Swing, holding one hand

And other on the waist

 

Not only a time for love

But play too

Football is planned

 

The gang of girls

With colorful umbrellas

Prefer walk on the terrace

 

Street-kid is just a tag

See them in rains, innocent

Eyes, sparkle with joy

 

Rains they are

Gift of God to all

Doctors stay away

 

Giving Goosebumps

All over

Was the lasting impact

-- Tanvi D

...live immersion...

Deep Deep I Dive

More Clear I see

Increase Depth

Reduce Breath

Corals & Fish

My only Wish

Faced a sight

Of Shark's Flight

Not wanting to Harm

But speaking to Warn

Muddy water below

Be sturdy a little more

Confidence is good

But not the only Food

Willingness is a must

To pass through the dust

Crossing the gloomy zone

You will feel the throne

Vanishing the face of frown

The smile glows with a crown

-- Tanvi D

...faces of phases...

" Night has different air

Silent yet noisy

Peaceful yet chaotic

Goosebumps in warm quilt

Non-fiction yet fiction

Real yet surreal

Darkness with a beam

Answers yet Questions

Alive yet Dead... "

…rest in peace…

Facing it unknowingly

The turmoil calendar

Stuffed with anecdotes

Revisiting its afterlife

 

Walking slowly backwards

Swift and smooth rotation

Wall of mirrored mosaic

Pestering all corners of heart

 

Some embossed with Eden

Rest were a work of abyss

Wondering the craft of the artist

And skeptical about the ancients 

 

Every torn word of chronology

A precarious camouflage of heart

Or a box filled with magic dust

Performing pseudo & ludicrous tactics

 

Wrinkled and sweaty forehead

A ray straight into the eye

Instant knock of the moonlight

Whirling dervishes sprinkling love

 

Awaited for enigmatic nights

Now turns into cold war of scars

From my finest creations in life

Called joys and sorrows

 

Castor sugar or a pinch of salt

One of it is a sweet option

The other being a salty necessity

Two sides of white life

 

Always stared at the sky

As bit by a mass of trivia

With every gleam from the cornea

Wishing the answers to be type-written

 

Night being a blackboard

I scribble questions over it

By day I hide the book in the closet

Letting every word rest in peace

 

-- Tanvi D

...pushed into nostalgia...

As I sit in the balcony

Sipping my high tea

I stare at the sky

As it changes its palette

Bunch of shapeless cottons

Running in the rays

The Sun heads home

Leaving me in a stray

The darkness and its peace

Plays nature's mystic tune

Black beauty of the dusk

With birds chirping all around

Entered an imagery world

Crossing all blur levels

At the apex was a screen

Playing a silhouette of my memories

A snapshot of misty clouds

With your hug of blues

Watching birth of that pearl

Dropping through your eyes

Conversation of eyes for seconds

Hinting of the millions missed

Under the peaceful moonlight shyness

Silence left nothing unspoken

A moment of you seeped in

As the hands brushed abruptly

Those footsteps on the beach

Wet sand still stuck in my nails

Now it's just our memories

That helps the heart to live

The breeze that fills me even today

Was the one we shared someday

- Tanvi D

...Tanka...

"Walking towards him
I stumble over a stone
Instantly he leans towards me
His warmth held my arm with firmness
As I freeze, breathing his air"


-- Tanvi D

…the final show…

Started with thunders, and
then followed the bolt

Gushed quickly the breeze, along
with silent rains on my hand

Beautiful rustic aroma of mud, giving
goosebumps all over

Getting heavier by every minute, the
thunders increase their volume

Heart beats increasing its pace, am
I back to my scary phase ??

Drumming the roof like always, the
rains are in their best moods

Crossing the maximum decibels, the
thunders make me shut my ears

Memories rush in of such nights, now
understanding the entire scene

Considered as season's farewell, the
orchestra would continue for long…

 

-- Tanvi D

LAST NIGHT, NOT THE LAST

Sleeping near the window

Only could see one star

It winked at me

And then I did too

It saw me smiled

I told, its happiness

And so it smiled back

Why wet eyes?, asked the star

They are memories raining, I said with a smile

Then came Mother Cloud

But it refused to go

First meet it is, said the star

I told about my nice day

Only night shift for me, said the star

I said, but you spark at night

But all sleep when I spark, said the star

You secretly watch us at dawn, I said

Why to hide when you are awake, said the star.

-- Tanvi D

...e-Souls...

Lovely reason

In the form of Haiku

I caught a dear one

Starting a conversation

Wall to wall, discussing

Attack of lizards

Sharing self traits

With each other, realized

Between rests a mirror

Not restricted to face-book

We also shared

Long distance voices

"Feels nice talking to you",

First thing I heard, but

Blessed I am

Talkative days passed by

Bond more firm now, we

Confirm us as soul sisters

Like the tree

Grows every bond

When nurtured with heart

Following the same

Though from distance

Shared same wavelength

Sharing hugs and hearts

Filled with smiley's

Decorates our talk

Locked the smiles and

Unlocked sorrows

We held each others hand

A true gem

With sparkling eyes

And mystic smile

Stands firm on toes

With good memories

Wiping the tough bad ones

Gold mine of music

Spreading in the world

Giving instant smirks to all

Juggling some mild disputes

She escapes with peace, with

Strong faith in God

A word of concern

Giving warm comfort

She has always been there

Feeling of being chosen

With my hearts consent

Loving every moment

To Know more, the

Journey needs destination

My faith in God

Different cities, same gender

Different life, same outlook

HE made twin souls
