Halloween
We wear masks
to hide our faces
In Halloween.
But the truth is,
Those masks
of foul creatures
Doesn’t hide
our faces, but,
Unveils the
real ones.
-Halloween.

Bojh.
Kandho pe tha bojh bada.
Kaid ho gaya ta mai panchi.
Bhul gaya ta udna mai.
Bhul gaya ta udna mai.
Ke aaj dikha ek jhoond panchi ka
udta hua azaad gagan mein.
Aaj hua ehsaas mujhe,
Ke, kaid nahi rehna mujhko,
Mai nahi bana is pinjre ke liye.
Mai nahi bana is pinjre ke liye.
Nikal gaya aj mai is pinjre se.
Kyunki kandho pe ta bojh bada.
Kyunki kandho pe ta bojh bada.
-Aazaad.

Breeze.
Like a gentle breeze.
You came into my life.
When you touched me.
I felt, that sense of peace.
Then you left, and,
I stood there, and,
My heart ached.
But, the mistake was mine.
For I should’ve known.
It’s not in the
nature of breeze,
To stay at one place,
It always flees.
-Abhishek Gupta.
Drowning.
It fills my heart with joy,
When I see my friends,
Succeeding in life.
It fills my heart with pride,
When I see my friends,
Winning in life.
But, it would be a lie,
That I feel joyous, all the time,
For, the truth is, I don’t.
I don’t lie, for I can’t,
I’m not happy, not because,
I see people living their dreams,
But, because, I see, myself,
Still standing, at the same place,
where I stood, a year ago,
and have moved a step, ahead.
And It’s filling my heart with glum,
But all I do is,
try to wipe the sadness away,
By drowning my night,
in a bottle of rum.
-Tired.
