Lagged.

It’s a lag.

But perfectly correlated.

You run, I hide; you hide, I run.

And so we never find each other.

In a parallel universe,

Where the timing isn’t so perfect,

You will find me,

And we could both hide forever.

Ablaze

I burn. Like a wildfire.

I whimper.  For a lost desire.

I struggle. To get a clue.

You set me ablaze,

And I melt in you.

It's not over.

So you thought,

That hell ends here.

So you fought,

Your darkest fear?

The dark alley you braved,

It does not end.

All the strength you saved,

It will not fend.

You can’t run for cover,

This inferno never stops burning,

My love, the worst is not over,
Welcome to the beginning.

Fish in the pond

Like a fish in a new pond,
Too scared,
Yet too arrogant,
Always on the edge.

Too many questions
Too few answers
Wondering, wanting, waiting, learning
And doubting.

Its the new way to live,
Welcome to uneasy, queasy.
Oh wait, not so easy.
By the way, it never ends.

Till it does,
But the new is old now.
The hot is cold now.
The story is told now.

It floats around dead,
one with the pond,
no life of its own,
no feeling forlorn.

Dilli ka Dil

Dilli ki tang galiyano main

Logon ki tangi nahi hai

Betuki Bheedum Bhaad main

Shor ki kami nahi hai

Main apni duniya main mashroof

Is jismon ke talaab ko kya du apna tarruf
Ajab si meri mushkil

Yahan dhadakta nahi hai koi bhi dil
