Pain and Love

Pain and love.
What’s the link
between these
two words?

For me,
They’re both
The same.

For me,
Pain, have
Become a
Metaphor
Of love.

Privileged

He took the first
Bite of his food,
And threw it away
Exclaiming how
tasteless it was.

A rag picker, later,
picked it up and ate it.
How satiated,
he looked,
while eating,
like it was
the tastiest food
he ever had.

Not everyone is
as privileged
as you are.

Gentleman

When you shave that beard,
it doesn’t lessen your masculinity.
Beard or not, masculinity lies
in the way you treat others.

If you think belittling others,
Makes you more masculine,
Then, my friend, you’re wrong.

‘Cause my parents have
taught me that being a
gentleman is the most
Masculine feature a
man can ever have.

It still hurts

I was doing fine.
I was on my way
To find bliss, again.

But then,
You came back.
Of Course,
in my memories.

It kills me.
Every time,
I think of you.

It still hurts, the same,
Like it did, when you
broke my heart.

It’s just that,
I don’t talk about it, anymore.
So now, no one can see it.

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.

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.

Dil ka aalam.

Dil ka aalam kuch aisa hai.
Gham ki sagar me dooba hai.
Cheekh bhi na aane deta labon par.

Zindagi bezubaan si ho gayi hai.
Dil ka aalam kuch aisa hai.
Ragon me lahoo ki jagah
Ab zeher hi baste hai.

Kise karun bayan Haal-e-Dil?
Ajkal toh apne hi hume
saanp bankar daste hai.

Dil ka aalam kuch aisa hai.
Ke kuch aapke jaisa, aur,
Kuch humare jaisa hai.
Dil ka aalam kuch aisa hai.

-Abhishek Gupta.

खुशी।

बस एक छलावा है खुशी।
आज है ये और कल नहीं।
गम ही रहा है एक सच्चा हमसफ़र।
क्युकी एक जगह कभी ना ठहर पाती ये खुशी।
-अभिषेक गुप्ता।

Lost My Zest.

I’ve lost my zest for life.
I do not know, if it’ll ever come back to me.
I do not know, why have I, become like this.
I do not know, what to do next.
Void my life has become, it feels.
Void my heart has become, it feels.
Writing was my only escape.
Only thing, which kept me sane.
I have lost my vision, it feels.
I’m going insane, it feels.
All my efforts, to overcome this,
It’s all going in vain.
I don’t even understand,
Why am I even feeling this pain?
It’s consuming me, day by day, bit by bit.
I want to write, like I used to, once again.
But I don’t know if I ever
will be able to do that.
For it feels, it feels like I’ve lost my wit.

-Somebody, please save me?

-Drowning in thoughts.
