कविता - My Soul's Expression

A soft touch which solidifies my courage, "I am there, don't worry", The touch has a hidden message It calms my heart palpitating, Comforts my anxious mind wondering, "It is okay, everything will be fine" Simple touch making the darkness shine. It is not my fault, I am wired that way, Mom's lap was once my only stay In dad's arms, I passed the whole day It's only the touch I know, someone is there To protect me, to love me, to make my hardships go away. But growing up has snatched that liberty, Parents, now replaced with spouse but with same ability, Now, being cuddled, my "stress" loses its visibility, Unlike childhood, this may last for a little longer, Before I embraced my toddler's hand, a touch with heaven's similarity. Time flies, but the longing for a touch still remains, I want that love, but my melting skin, refrains, To play with my grand-children, hold their hands, Worried if they dislike my hugs and kisses, adding to the...

When it all started from being carried on my father's shoulder, Unknown of the fact that even I can walk myself The school corridor had that typical smell Which made me realize I am in school before I could yell. Almost 2 decades before bidding a farewell, Now comes college, a drastic change adapted well,  Career was in the head, making everything else dispel 5 years and time flies, making some stories worthty to tell Early 20's, Imagine 1/3rd of life expels To accumulate "something", "Something" which people term "knowledge" "skills" "Something" that gets you "wealth", "financial stability"  "Something" which comforts your mind That "Something" which gets you so called "happiness", "satisfaction", "peace" To put in nutshell, First 20 years, the single biggest investment of life I persistently propel, Investment of "Time",  Ravishing journey from a c...

Number of times, counting the stars outside, I feel, every day, every month, every year is just passing by "Yes, that is our very nature, son" Smiled the mighty sky Winter being felt literally,  Indicating, it will just pass with a high-five Scorching heat will again wet my clothes, Monsoon just did that, a few months ago, before bidding goodbye People say it wasn't a good year which passed by Something unexpected pops up, to stay for a little longer. Very tight bond of rules and regulations  Which people wanted to untie. Star blinks a little, Taking me back to the skies, It is a new year now,  Let's get rid of all Hows and Whys But this very star was visible some few months back If nothing changes, how can a year pass by, Same sky, same balcony, same me, same star,  Still, a change in time gets me mystified. If it is just another moment, How does it matter Whether it is a second, minute, month, or a year to quantify, It is just another moment after all, It is passin...
