Love

Here

I am here.
Right here.
Where I was.
Standing still.
Waiting for you.
To look back once.
But you won’t.
You always,
used to say,
life goes on.
But mine,
It stopped.
I am here.
Right here.

-Abhishek Gupta.

Smile

Don’t you dare, let anyone,
take that smile away from you.
No matter how broke you are.
No matter how lonely you feel.
No matter how gloomy life becomes.
Don’t lose that smile.
Don’t you dare, lose it.

When the darkness will consume,
you, your life and your heart.
When your mind will be foreshadowed
by thoughts sick and grim.

That smile, will act as your
Knight in the shining armour.
Because, when nothing in
your life will make sense,
and you’ll feel there’s no
point staying here, in this
world filled with humans
whose hearts are so
corrupt that even the devil
would think twice before
making a deal with them.

Your smile, it will remind,
you and the people around,
that one should never give up,
because of the people around,
because they don’t even matter.

What matters, in the end,
is you, and your happiness.

Don’t you dare, let anyone,
take that smile away from you.
Smile, even in your darkest times.
Because your smile might give,
someone else the strength to fight.

It’s been awhile

It’s been awhile now,
That you’ve been gone.
I sleep on the same bed
on which we used to, together.
It’s the same bed, but,
I don’t know why it feels
just a little bit bigger now.
I still water the plants, which grew
from the seeds, that you had sown.
It’s been awhile now,
That you’ve been gone.

Toy

I, sometimes, wonder.
If you still, see my photos,
regretting, what you did to me.

But then I realize,
I was a mere toy,
for you, with whom,
you played and
moved on to
another one.

Letter

To,
The person whom I once loved.

I have nothing but hatred in my heart, for you, but underneath this charade of hatred, there’s still some love left, for you, and it always will.

With love,
Abhishek Gupta.

Wo Ishq

Wo ishq hi kya, jo yoon aasani se mil jaye.
Wo ishq hi kya, jo phoolon ki tarah na khil paaye.
Wo ishq hi kya, jisme halki phulki takraar na ho.
Wo ishq hi kya, jisme har roz ishq ka izhar na ho.
Wo ishq hi kya, jisme ek dooje par vishwas na ho.
Wo ishq hi kya, jisme aap ek dooje ki vajah-ae-saans na ho.

Wo Roothna,
Wo Manana,
Kabhi gusse se,
Toh kabhi pyar se, samjana.
Bas inhi baaton mein
simta hua hai pyar ka fasana.

Yahan gaur faramiyega zara.

Apne mashooka ke walid se
Wo Pehli dafa milna.
Aur phir unke nazaron ke dar
se aapke honton ka silna.
Pyar me aapko ye din bhi
Dekhna hi padega.

Sath me baith wo sapne dekhna,
Phir ek dusre ko kehna,
Ke hume humesa sath hai rehna.
Bas ye kahi bahar baith ke na karna!
Kya pata ye pyar ke dushman
Kahin bhagwa rang pehen ke aa jaaye,
Aur unse bachne ke liye tumhe na kehna
Pad jaaye apne hi mashooka ko behna.

Khair, toh is baat ko,
Kuch is tarah khatm karte hai.
Ke is pyar ke raaste ko agar tum
Chunn rahe ho, toh hausla bhi rakhna.

Jitna pyar milega is raaste mein,
Kaante bhi utne hi milenge.
Aasaan samjne ki bhool na karna,
Pyar paana mushkil nahi,
Par use nibhana mushkil hai.

Toh jaaye, aap bhi zara pyar me,
Kabhi thoda gir jaaye toh
kabhi thoda sambhal jaaye.

Kyunki,
wo ishq hi kya,
Jo yoon, aasaani se mil jaye.

Grave

She used to tell me
that she couldn’t
live without me?

I tried to find her grave,
everywhere, after she
broke my heart, and,
left me here, alone,
with this void heart.
But I never found it.

-Abhishek Gupta.

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.

-Abhishek Gupta.

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.

-Abhishek Gupta.
