LOTUS (A poem for a dear friend Mehak)

She is the lotus I found in muddy pit
Blooming irrespective of world’s glitch
Hid behind the bushes so quiet
Shied away from even the sunlight

I was a sunflower, attracted to fake light
Never listened to her chirps or chit-chats
When reality struck me hard, I took a corner
Falling apart, with no support or shoulder

Her petal fell apart to give me shadow
Said I don’t have to be the only to swallow
The hard times, words and shit that people gave me
She became the precious one to shame, blame even praise me. 

Time went by, we grew closer
For a sunflower like me, she become the soldier
She healed me and I too heard her long stories of sorrows
And one fine day, she was over everything and I was still standing with my past ghosts.


I didn’t like it, I really didn’t, I swear
But she was somebody for whom I cared
So, I didn’t create rifts, I still loved her
But her words were like swords at times and sometimes, I don’t know
I just wonder.

I felt I was no more as close to her as I was
May be the distances were covered by someone else now,
May be I was at fault, May be I made some mistakes I don’t know how.
But now she is going away, too far.


In words, unspoken, misunderstood and unshared,
I want her to understand, no matter what I am standing in her despair
I will smile to her, when she smiles
Cry for no reason because she’s hurt
A lotus she is, a lotus in my life forever,
My petals are small, you know it all, but I am tall and strong
But yes also a trouble,
A trouble you will have to send your butterflies to,
Even rain drops one or two.

I promise I will not let honey bees come in-between us,
But can’t promise if I wont be jealous of other lotuses,
Keep shining, lovely and bright.

I don’t know how to end this, but I love you, you know it right?

Happily ever after.

                                       Everyone in this world loves to be loved, and the feelings are doubled when they are mutual. Sneha, 21 years old, fair and beautiful, remembers how she used to wait for February 14 th , since she entered the teenage, for something romantic and special to happen.  But eventually nothing used to happen, and the day used to be either normal or really bad. The kind of person she is, she always loves to imagine, to dream, to fascinate about everything that seems to be romantic. Every time she watched some romantic movie, she would imagine all the goody part to be happening with her, in her life. She imagined very often, how a guy would approach her, be around her, make her feel special, send gifts, stare from distance, leave short messages as a clue of his emotions and so on. She always had songs on her playlist that expressed how she used to feel. She remembers when she had her first crush and he said something really nice about her, she

It was all about sex

He wooed me  He caressed He loved me  Like no one else. He weaved a web  To make me prey  In which I fell With no disgrace. We made creases  On bed  And our silhouettes made love on the wall, All night all day, No time no break, We were into each other  With no sense of the world.  I got used to it He was moving away  Experiments weren't working  Well, I wasn't a professional anyway.  Just 3 months and it was going to an end, A relation that started fast  Was walking too soon towards the grave.  I thought it was a road to soul, My journey with him was ending on the bed. No memories, No talks, Just a passion  To make love like insane.  Did we really made love?  I asked myself! He moved on  Saying just three words that "It won't work" The Words that I never wanted to hear  But I knew they were about to come, I realised,  too late but early,  that it was all about sex.

A beautiful liar

In the beginning of our relationship He was the most adorable man, I thought, maybe this relationship would work unlike others And I will do everything I can He praised me with such poetic words That it made me blush I never thought it will, again, end up like others. After a year, he was keen to make this special Kept boosting about his love, that its real Kept asking me about same thing that I can never give, Yes, virginity is a really big matter for me, I say it without shame. Emotions are worthier than sex, I said But he was worried about his so-called image in his friends He said “I gave you so much love, in return, this is what I get?” “I can’t take this step for your stupid image” I said. It was hard to believe this sudden change Sitting on the same old bench I thought, How could he be so selfish? What if I get pregnant did he ever thought about this? “Oh god, why bloody condoms are invented for, Don’t worry; they are 100% safe for sur
