Serendipity - Poetry, Articles and Life Stories

A million words A million takes What broke then Still looks for a make A million emotions A million moments What flew within us Is all at stake The sounds of glory The screams of loneliness All got mixed with a pinch of happiness The tears that you wept The hugs that you gave All got used to live without your shape Love stayed but respect walked out Strings were bound But trust just wept out You were there But I couldnt see you You changed paths And I could'nt follow you Still beneath the same sky You breathe in the same air I breathe to Still we cross the same paths But we are not 'us', but me and you Medhavi 25.04.15

लकीरें जो मिट गयी थी उस बूढ़े पेड़ से,  उनको ढुँधलाई सी यादों ने आज फिर छू लिया,  जिस गली से गुज़रने से कतराते रहे बरसों,  क्यूँ आज दिल ने वही रास्ता चुन लिया... वो नुक्कड़ पर चाय की खुश्बू,  और सड़क पर सूखे पत्ते वैसे ही थे,  वो खाली बगीचा और उसमें लिपटे वक़्त के टुकड़े वैसे ही थे... थम गये कदम भी और गुज़रे सैकड़ों लम्हे निगाहों के आगे,  थम गया दरिया काफिलों का,  उन अनगिनत फासलों का, दिल की पनाहों के आगे, आवाज़ सुनी थी शायद तुम्हारी,  या कदमों की आहट ही थी वो,  या थे तुम भी वहीं पर, छू के देखते मुझको भी... वहम थे बहुत से, बहुत सी हक़ीक़तें थी, ख्वाब थे टूटे हुए और मिट्टी हुई सरहदें थी... मैं चल रही थी लेकिन लम्हा ठहेर गया था, तस्वीर तेरी ले कर हर झोंका बह रहा था,  वो टूटी हुई दीवार आज भी वहीं है, जहाँ बैठ हमने घंटों खामोशियाँ महसूस की थी,  जहाँ की हर कड़ी एहसासों के घुँगरू-ओं में महफूज़ सी थी, पर आज उस दीवार पर कोई ना बैठा था,  और हर कोना उस सड़क का जैसे अधूरा सा था... मैं निकल आई उस गली से, फि...

Aaj apne kamre mein,  phir teri yaadon ko Ek doosre se uljha hua paaya maine.  Kuch tohfe,  unmein kahin jame huye kuch adhoore aur mukkammal lamhe.  aur kayi sanjoye huye sapne, sab,  sab uljhe huye thhe ek doosre se... Ek pawan jhankaar (windchime),  ek katta katta sa laal parda (wall partition curtain)  aur upar lagi tasveer ka frame unmein ulajh kar toot gaya tha.  Un tukdon ko samet-te huye aur uljhanon ko suljhaate huye,  na jaane kab mann yaad sheher chal diya... Yaad aaye woh din jab zindagi ka matlab tere hone se thha,  har muskuraahat tere naam se thhi.  Har din yaadgaar tha, har raat khushnaseeb thhi,  har zarra qaayanaat ka,  jaise tere mere naam ho rahi ek saugaat thha.  Khushi ka thikaana shayad aasmaan mein gum tha kahin,  khud ki nazar na lag jaaye,  issi darr mein rehte thhe hum yun hi. Par ab haqeeqat kuch aur hai,  raahein kuch aur hain,...

You were metaphorical, You were satirical, Poetic was the identity of your being, Invisibility was the reality of being seen, Your smiles were decades frozen under temporalities, Your fragrance was spread over winds of change, Your existence was a mix of varied personalities, Your imaginations and thought processes never followed a range, And your madness was a framework of random congenealities, I never lost you because you could'nt be contained, You were free since forever and it could never end, You were meant to fly n flourish in the million colors of skies, You were meant to break the barriers and go against all lies, You were a dream that had no vision or image in my mindscreen, I never saw you, but felt you in the depths of the unseen...

Yes.. I heard the silences,  behind the cold winds,  behind the dry leaves, b ehind all what was not yours but mine,  behind all what we left behind... -Medhavi 22.04.15 When the temporary outweighs reality, The permanent attains glory! -Medhavi 29.03.15 She went beneath her soul, And fell in love with herself... -Medhavi 06.04.15 Beauty was within her, But to her the mirror lied everytime... -Medhavi 05.04.15 She remained broken, Until she realized that in her pieces, Resided the soul of her spirit, She looked at them, picked them, Then a miracle called 'life' happened! -Medhavi 06.04.15 Its about few mornings when the sun seems brighter, the burdens feel lighter and the hopes get mightier..

Kuch mukkammal sa tha, Kuch toota-bikhraa sa, Kuch raunakon se ghiraa tha, Kuch kamron mein bandh sa, Ehsaas sa tha,  Ilzaam bhi tha, Mohabbat ka woh naam bhi tha... Woh khaffa hua, ya juda hua, Gunehgaar woh tha, kyun khuda hua, Sawaalon se ghira tha woh, Ya jawaab sab ussi ke thhe, Hairaaniyaan mujhe hain kyun, Iraade uske na thhe pata mujhe... Na bhool saki, na rooth saki, Na de saki naam isay bewaffai ka, Na aage badhi, na ruk saki, Na raah koi chun saki main uske baad, Woh muskuraa kar sab kuch todd gaya, Andhere peeche yun chorr gaya, Ab ujaale bhi lagein dhokhe mujhe, Har zarra mera yun roke mujhe, Tere baad na kar saki mohabbat main, Na de saki khud ko ijaazat main... Tu rahega jahan, needein tujhse bhaagengi, Tu so jaayega shaayad, par ummeedein mujhmein jaagengi, Teri har raah mein ek kadam mera bhi hoga, Tu chalega tanha par aahatein meri aayengi...

He was like the snowfall Slow but fulfilling Beautiful but dangerous in excess Cold yet so pure Who made my life complete with just a strand of his touching the ground of my heart He was like the winds Cold or hot as per the weather Heavy as hell or light as a feather Uneasy yet settled Who just passed through me in transparency and left few beautiful scars of his presence He was like the morning sun Light yet so brightening And in remarkable ways bringing a difference To so many people, to so many lives And adding so much of significance He was like the rains Unpredictable yet awaited Showery or drizzly Expressive yet reserved Who just drenched me in a way that no wind or sun could repair the agony his little drops created He was like the stars Far, hard to reach, yet glittery Made me lose myself so simply Admired by everyone but truly loved by me I wish he knew that he belonged just to me Medhavi 27.02.15 ...................................
