Dance on

They were the passionate one and all they wanted to seek was learnings and knowledge. They were possessive about the skills they had and wanted. Dancing was the only thing they knew and what it meant to them, no body could know or understand. It was something that gave them the inner gratifaction. It was expression. It was release. It's what they found solace in. It was their moment of together - them and their  dance.  Dance - that was the only thing for which they gave it their heart. For you see their love for dancing was something that remained with them. It was so precious a love for them.

Lens

She loved capturing scenery, life etc. From the lens, she could see the beauty that existed, otherwise invisible to the naked eye. The lens of the camera was the doorway to her heart. Moments captured later became memories, she would pour through and relive the same...moments she held close to our hearts, moments that made her come alive. #words #writing

Poem : Words

In numbness, in loneliness, in pain
In happiness, in joy aplenty
In madding crowd, in solace
In noise, in silence
Words that resonated
Words that healed
Written words
Spoken words
Unsaid words
Finding herself
Losing herself
Life.
Best kept secrets
Worst fears
Dreams
Hopes and Desire
Longingness
Love that last
Fairy tales
Superheroes
Reality
The world of books took her to a different space.

Poem : Moments

A slight breeze
The first drop of rain
The fragrance of wet mud
Sunsets
Sunrises
Chirping of the birds
Kids playing football.
Footprints in the sand
Waves washing the sand away
Sand castles
laughter of kids somewhere nearby
Or kids bathing in the sea water
Innocence
Love
The sound of the waves hitting the rocks
Moonlight on the sea on a dark night
Rays of the sun in the water on a warm day
Soothing to the soul and the heart
Feelings that get lost somewhere
Stories that the sea side tells
Stop. Pause. Breathe.
Life is filled with many small moments as these.

Poem : a night like this

The roads led her to this place again
Where she had once met herself
More than a year had passed
Since she experienced the moments of life
The unsaid moments
One’s that made her feel alive

A lot had changed since then...
soft breeze
on a summery night
Less people on the walkway
Yet there was life
And stories too
Stories of hope, courage, love and survival
and those of hurt, anger and betrayal
Stories of love lost
and of love that won
Stories of a day that had passed by
Silence amidst the laughter
Silence otherwise
Broken paths
Yet they walked on
Life.
It was a night like this
When the stars shone bright
And the sea had a calming effect on her.

Raat ki khamoshi

raat ki khamoshi na jaane kaun si baat chupa rahee hai.samundar ke kinare, jab paani in paon ko choota hai,na jaane yeh  leher kya dhun gun guna rahe hain. chand ki roshni padh rahee hai paani par aur uskee  parchayee bata rahee hai mujhe -kuch ankahee baatein; kuch ansunee baatein.

Khamoshi

Unkee khamoshi ne bhi bahut kuch keh diya humhain...lafzon main jo baat bayaan na kar  paye, unki/meri aankhon main padh liya humne/usne....yeh chand ki roshni keh rahee thi humse, kar le yakeen apne dil par, thoda sa aitbaar to kar uspar...
