PURPLE


PURPLE

I had a small plant once,placed by my window
It had veins on its leaves, some deep some shallow.
Purple were its flowers, with soothing green leaves
It was  gift by someone, but it was more than one could perceive
For it was my peace, near when I used to be
I had a time of day fixed, to come and sit , folding my knees
Only after months of taking care,it used to bloom one day
As my favorite plant for a month or two, it used to stay
I used to take its pictures, to remind me of beauty on days when it couldn't be there with me
For days it was gone, the flower I mean.
I had learnt how to be what you call patient,
I learnt to be graceful, and bright, and beautiful on days when I couldn't bloom, I was nascent.
I learnt to say I'm still pretty on days I only had my green leaves
Its not your job to please others, as one believes
Because the beauty was always inside me, even on days I didn't look my best
Even on days I didn't feel my best
I had this hope, this wait
The patience to one day glow, when I'm ready
To smile and walk steady
To dance and twirl around
To break all insecurities I was bound
To be light as feather, to laugh every weather
To show my vulnerability
To only those who did the duty
Of having the patience with me
As I am not the best always, you see.

I WONDER WHAT YOU LOOK LIKE NOW.

 Here is a story about two different friends, who once were close but not anymore.  I do wonder what you look like now.  The face i had watched everyday for years, is now lost to me. I haven't even kept any photographs of you, or us, or any group in which you can be seen. I still hate you. But i miss you.  I hated it that you pretended to be close to me, who pretended that I'm her special friend, who I thought misses my absence, who makes special posts on facebook tagging me with captions consisting of our nicknames, who puts whatsapp DPs with me, who paid for my food, who gave me company when I was bored. You made me feel that I'm your special friend, the one friend who you truly think of as your own. I have always craved for real connections and wanted to have a group of friends so bad that I too thought you and your "nakhres " to be included in the only group of friends I had. My group consisted of only two people, me and the other person.  I'm usually scar...

TOGETHER YET APART.

    I'll hold you at your worst Sometimes I miss you so damn much how will ever be able to tell you Idon't know. Sometimes you're there but not listening, You're there but not in my dreams. You're there but not resonating with my thoughts and feelings. You're there but not understanding my silence. You're there but not responding to "our" phrases. You're there but not mine .    You're not there for your own reasons. I miss you for all the reasons we had before.  You must be upset i get it. You must be upset due to something i did. Or something i said or didn't say. But what good are we if we don't understand each other's silences, our words unspoken? Try me love, try. Hold my hand, come with me to the world where the sea shores nearby and we sit under a palm tree talking about anything and everything. Because loving you has been my greatest strength and talking to you is my love language.  I need you now and forever, will you tr...
