My Next Poem

"Mubashir"
She said
"My love
Cut this poem short
And
Write me differently
In your next poem"

A One Day Affair

One day
I’m sure
We will meet
Beyond the horizons of grief
And
We will sell our tears cheap
To the skin of desert.

Our Eyes
With just a casual glance -
Don’t ask how
Will scratch the whole universe
Into a pair of rosebuds.

And that day
My love
So as not to get seduced with these tricks
We will discuss
A bit more
About the strategies to tame life.

For
Who knows
If that one day
Turns out to be
Just
A one day affair.

Welcome to Poem Nagar

Though
Life has turned 
Into a bridge to Mehjoor Nagar
The road to Elahi Bagh
Messy/dilapidated
But
Dreams come
Like Rajbagh
Like Hyderpora
Fresh/posh

Though
Memories have turned Wular
Dry/forgotten
But 
Often
The Dal of your smiles
Wipes the Boulevard of tears
Hopeful/beautiful

My Love
A Lal Chowk of desires
Stands between us
Come 
Lets create
A Pari Mahal out of it
Serene/calm

Life is a 90 feet tragedy
And
I'm the lone Fly over of your state.

Pain

“Pain”
They pronounce
“Has a meaning”

The question
Which moots
However
Is:
How much meaning can one endure???
