Fluffy Hand (a sweet dream)

That fluffy hand in mine (I’m holding it so tightly; like it belongs to me), running inside her house, when it started raining outside in the park; where we were talking about our lives and [Us]. When we reached inside her house, I found extremely strange things; may be, you can say it’s annoying stuff. My mother was there, one of my brother’s wife was there as well. And her mother refused to recognize me when she saw us holding each other’s hand. Who are you? She asked, looking straight into my eyes, but with a warm smile on her lips. Before I could answer, I felt loosing control of fluffy hand, devastating for me! She smiled back at her mother and said, “how can you not recognize him? mom, you were the one who told me about him in the very first place.” And then (Boom) my mother came from behind and introduced me as her son.
And then I don’t remember what happened next. But the warmth of her fluffy hand is still on my skin.

I Am Dream

I’m what I end up not saying⁣⁣⁣⁣
I’m what I end up not thinking⁣⁣⁣⁣

I’m what avoids the sight⁣⁣⁣⁣
I’m your main event

I am between the lines,
I inhale paradoxes⁣⁣⁣⁣

I am Between the words,
I squiggle for realisations⁣⁣⁣⁣

I am between the days,
I attempt to sidestep thinking⁣⁣⁣⁣

I am between the evenings,
I dream my sidestepped thinking⁣⁣⁣

I am between you and me ⁣⁣⁣⁣
I am ⁣a composition of my misunderstandings⁣⁣⁣⁣

I am between you and me⁣⁣⁣⁣
I will be ⁣the interpretation
You always wanted.

Whispers Of Love

“In your light I learn how to love. In your beauty, how to make poems. You dance inside my chest where no-one sees you, but sometimes I do, and that sight becomes this art.”
Jalaluddin Mevlana Rumi

She whispers
A love story
You are dreaming
A love story
That God gave you
Listening to her whispers
Straight towards my heart
I started thinking up
How could I love her more
I can give her
My flesh and blood
I can give her
My passionate words
And all the whispers
She wants to hear.

Poetry

I Write, why?

I write, to feel alive,
To perform, power of my hands.

There is a world
Where I rule absolutely.

You forgot, that what is here isn’t my life
I believe in making my own
The dancing of eyes take as long as I say
If I wish, the sky will cry
Wind will stop in mid-flight
Nothing will happen unless I say so,
Without my blessing, not a leaf will fall.

Each drop of ink contains a fair repository
Lying in bed, set to dive on the blank page,
Letters, You think up to no good.
