Love

If love was a poem
a haiku it would be 
say little feel a lot

 If love was clay
bowl it would be 
holding within it all

 If love was moon
a full or a new crescent
beautiful and surreal

 If love was sunshine
hues of sunrise or of winter afternoon
golden, warm and soft

 If love was a painting 
Van Gogh's strokes
spontaneous, colourful with
hopes, dreams and agony

 If love was a rain
a lightning thunderstorm at night
and downpour; 
a live concert.. 

 If love was a hug
bear hug it would be 
embracing with all it has

 If love made love
slowly and passionately move
feeling each nook and corner
before erupting in an orgasm

 If love was her
a glow in the eyes, halo of white hair
a  song in the heart... 
gorgeous from core

If love was you...
a laughter that grips
a smile that stirs the soul
a heart that melts...

or wait

 If love was you...
it wouldn’t be love anymore
logs of wood chopped from once beautiful Pine
now simmering to ash on a cold winter night

 If love was anything it could be
a treasure it would be
of joys, trauma and memories
of promises and betrayals 

 Love was and love is...
a poetic Question!
Love...

अप्रैल का महीना

अप्रैल का महीना थोड़ा नर्म थोड़ा गर्म सन्तरा भी मिलता है और आम भी गोभी भी और भिंडी भी गरम पानी से नहाते है और कार में ऐसी चलाते हैं नए साल के प्लान बनाते हैं  बीते साल के बही खाते टटोलते हैं  अप्रैल का महीना थोड़ा नर्म थोड़ा गर्म ऐसे ही एक साल  काफी गरम था  अप्रैल का महीना  अस्तित्व पिघला  पहचान पिघली  आमदनी पिघली  लावा ही लावा था सब तरफ  महीने बीते जलते जलते...  फिर इस लावे में कुछ रंग मिलाए  कुछ हिम्मत जुटाई  कुछ इरादे किए  कुछ मदद मांगी  काफी तपस्या की  काफी कुछ त्यागा  इस अप्रैल के महीने से शुरुआत हुई एक नए सफर की  मालूम नहीं था तब क्या अंजाम होगा  सही गलत, अच्छा बुरा कौन जाने  बस रंगों के साथ उधेडः-बुन में लग गए  कभी जद्दोजहद, मायूसी, नाकामयाबी  कभी पुरूस्कार, तारीफ और छोटी छोटी खुशियां  कई पड़ाव पार किये...  आज इस अप्रैल के महीने में  आज ही के दिन  पंद्रह साल पूरे हुए  उस पिघलती दोपहर के  जब ज्वालामुखी फटा था  और लावा बहा था  वहाँ आज एक न...

"Love you" doesn't mean love anymore!!

We live in strange times what is seen is never shown what is heard, never said what is felt is not what's expressed "Love you" doesn't mean love anymore "hate you" doesn't mean hate either "sorry" is no longer a regret "thank you" no more an expression of gratitude "I am ok" never means things are alright and nothing is well in "I am well" and "all is well" "nice" no longer is so nice, and "that's ridiculous" may not be that bad A lifetime is spent deciphering meanings Reading between the lines and looking beyond the words Is a skill essential straightforward conversations are rare and life status always complicated... ...because We live in strange times...here "Love you" doesn't mean love anymore!!

It was a Friday Afternoon…

It was a Friday Afternoon… I was restless through the day today. I got a message from you this morning that you want to meet and are coming over. It was on a Friday afternoon about a month or so ago when we had last met. The door bell rang at the precise time you had indicated. You came in and sat on the blue velvet couch lying in the corner near the window. You switched on the Television set and surfed the channels mindlessly barely stopping for 10 seconds on each channel. I got you water and went back to make some coffee. The air in the room was heavy. It was difficult to stand there near you. Keeping down the coffee beside you, I softly asked what it was that had brought you here. You fiddled with your coffee mug, brushed your hand through your hair, rubbed your nose and then looked at me uncomfortably. “ Bolo , What do you want to say?” I said shaking inside. Rock hard exterior but my insides were churning. I had no idea what you would say, but I knew you were about to al...
