Invisible

The whole week
we didn't see our black-dressed man.
I missed him and not sure if she did or not.
We thought may be he had gone home
Or was on vacation.
Today, in the evening when we saw him
both of us asked the same question but separately.
"Where did you vanish"-I asked
As usual he smiled and said he had night duty.

Lucknow, India
(Note: In terms of literary work, this may fail to be considered as poetry. But, I would like to keep these thoughts as memory).

Lipstick

Whenever I kiss her
Her cheek gets brightened like the
first sunlight emerging from the reddish sky.
I lighten up her cheek
with my red lipstick and then wipe it up softly.
I like this wiping part most than
leaving the mark behind.

Different Love

My love with my Cutie Pie
is the purest form of love.
It has no desire, no lust, and no longing.
I don't wait for her nor she waits for me. 
When she kisses me on my cheek
                         Or I kiss her back;
There is no attachment nor detachment.
In comparison, your love towards me
                                       is a bit lustful.
And only you can explore the exact reason.

Lucknow, India

Nobody needed

This moment, I am complete in myself
This moment, I don't need anyone except me!
In this city, I have reached my zenith
in practicing attachment and detachment simultaneously.

Century I

In my life,
Her opinion matters most!
Her blessing matters most!

Today, I write it candidly
I always wanted you by my side like this
since I started my journey when I was fourteen
since I started experimenting like my father
with the "love and life" genre
Even long before that
when the Divine was sowing the seed for me to be the
future queen as well as the mendicant.

I have no more fear of falling on the ground
I have no more fear of losing my sanity
I know you would come and pick me up from the floor
And would say: Make it hundred.

( Aapne kaha hain ke
Fateh karke aana!
Aapne kaha hain ke
Century karke aana!
Agar kavi zameen pe gir parun to
Aapkoi aana hain sambhal ne ke liye.)

Mask

One problem of this place is PEOPLE.
Curiosity is good
But curiosity about digging up people's personal life is awful!
People here don't understand the value of privacy
Nor they understand clues when someone is maintaining distance.

The new honey from the desert beehive was too energetic to know me all
that I was literally running here and there to find a solitary spot.
Today, when my mask was torn a bit and my balanced center shifted little
people stormed in to ask what happened
I don't mind the questions of my coffee dada
because I know he is a gem in his heart;
But I hate questions of those who haven't achieved a basic human platform yet.

Today, when my mask was torn a bit and my balanced center shifted little
people stormed in to ask what happened
I had to quickly make up a story that I was missing my home
And for silly people, that is the easiest thing to perceive :) 

Dear wild baby,
I am so sorry to lose my mask
Dear wild baby,
I promise, it would never happen again
This place is too risky to lose our pretension masks.

And in near future,
SKY, we have to wear a much better and colorful pretension mask.

Monsoon Tale

Tonight, when I was coming back from the cliff
taking the winding road on its southern side,
I suddenly turned back
and saw you standing and smiling at me!

The other day, I saw three of us
wading through the small stream flowing at the base of the cliff.
We were trying to cross it while holding our shoes in our hand.
All of us were anxious to reach school on time.
The monsoon cloud was already hovering over
and it suddenly allowed the silver droplets to beat our tiny heads!
Holding each other's hands, we quickly ran to the pine woods.

A day in Lucknow

My Cutie Pie,
Riding tube with you was fun;
And I can spend million of such moments with you!

We were so happy to show you the sky
and the city from the above;
The city which looked like red and white
like some painted flower vase;
The city where you grew up--but you
didn't explore much! 
Cutie Pie, do not wait for someone
to show you all!

Question

I wonder
is there any role of the SUN
in our clandestine love?
