तुम

मेरे अल्फ़ाज़ों के पीछे की मुस्कुराहट हो तुम,
मेरी कही अनकही बातों में छुपा हुआ खुला राज़ हो तुम..

मेरे अनकहे ख़यालों का सबब हो तुम,
मेरे कुछ नहीं के पीछे की कहानी भी तुम ही तो हो..

~Rupi Kaur

It was when i stopped searching for home within others
And started working on the foundation of home within myself 
That I found there were no roots more intimate
Than those between a mind and body ⠀
That have decided to be whole

Love and Betrayal

~Vaishnavi Maheshwari

You were my morning and my noon,
You were the glitter of the moon,
You were the rhythm of my tune,
Remember how you made me swoon?

Dream for good

Should I tell them I’m phenomenal,
Would they understand it’s not criminal.
Possessions of mine are a miracle,
My existence was supposed to be mythical.

Still loving you.

I still love, I still care
I still admire, I still adore.

Worry

August 14, 2019August 15, 2019 by Soulstory, posted in Alive, Poetry

Worry is so worrisome,
It creates stress we would want to run away from.
We worry over things big and small,
Oh! the bacteria in my food!!
Oh! the new gen blues!!
Oh! my friend sings so well,
and oh! my waist! It increases so in magnitude!
And we worry worry worry!

वो दिन !!

April 25, 2019May 2, 2019 by Soulstory, posted in Kavitaen

अब सुबह तो होगी, पर शायद अब वह जल्दी उठने की चाह नहीं होगी,
तैयार तो हम अब भी होंगे, पर शायद बस का वेट करने की जल्दी नहीं होगी,
जल्दी तो अब भी होगी, पर गेट बंद हो जाने की चिंता नहीं होगी,
पढाई तो अब भी होगी, पर वो प्यार से पढ़ने वाली टीचर्स नहीं होंगी।
