The Girl Who Chased the Sun
Long before cities and farms, Nations and faiths, Perhaps before language, Certainly before poetry, There was a girl who chased the sun. At dawn she would rise and start walking east and when she grew tired, rest. On berries, roots and leaves she would feast then set off walking west. When it left she would set her camp and head upon the the same dreary hill, Although the moon beamed down upon her bed she dreamed of sunshine still. Through wind and rain she stayed her course pursuing she knew not what. Though at times her joy had a scorching force to her it never felt too hot. A woman she remained the invariable traveller roaming this way then that, One summer dusk she met a fellow wanderer and her belly grew fat. But the stranger was not so disposed to sun that with her he would stay, Though she would've liked a daughter or a son a herb carried them away. Though this brought her searing pain and gloom It was nothing when compared, to the day that formed some dark sphere of doom, the vision of her love impaired This life of quiet, thoughtful pace graced her with many years more, Than others of her tribe and race - she lived till nearly thirty-four. To the last she stared up at the skies, no wonder on what was to come. With a blissful smile she closed her eyes and caught up with the sun.

Why Did You Choose to Cheat?
🌹 Was I just a fleeting thought, a bookmark in your unfinished story? Did my love not anchor you enough, or was it too heavy to bear? I gave you all the pieces I had, fragile, trembling, yet whole. Did they fall short of the mosaic you were hoping to see? Am I the shadow in your light, the... read more

Life
Life is made up of choices. We listen to inner and outer voices. Some choices have us spinning. Some have others winning. Despite what we may think is right, how can we know what will bring us light? To live life is to learn. To desire what we feel we earned. To experience a feeling of yearning. As... (edited) read more

Will someone notice?
🌹 I fake a laugh, hiding the weight of sadness that clings to my chest. I fake being okay, shielding my sorrow from eyes that might see too much. I fake strength, concealing the fear of a lonely tomorrow that whispers in the dark. Will someone notice? Will someone listen? Will someone look... read more

Why does snow fall
Snow descends in silence, slow. Each drop a burst, a vibrant race, Each flake a pause, where thoughts can grow. Raindrops shimmer, diamonds bright, They sing of life, of warmth that flows. Snowflakes drift in quiet night, A gentle calm where stillness shows. Raindrops nourish roots below, Snow... read more

My urdu poetry.
جس سے نفرت ہو اس سے پیار بھی ہو سکتا ہے جہاں اعتبار ہو وہیں سے وار بھی ہو سکتا ہے کبھی کسی کی اپنے آپ میں مرضی نہیں چلتی کبھی کسی کی ہاں میں انکار بھی ہو سکتا ہے سکون دل کی خاطر، اپنے آرام کی خاطر پیار پہلے ہوتا تھا، اب تو کاروبار بھی ہو سکتا ہے اس مقام پے زندگی آ گئی ہے کہ بس ہنس دیتا ہوں بظاہر... read more

Shadows
Silence creeps, Light falls Who am I to seek the stars? While the shadows encroach upon these halls, How do we seem to aid? Do we truly seek to help? Or are we all falling upon ourselves in the stalls. Where oh where are we. The light never seems to find me.

When I love you, it becomes clear to me. Then by looking at myself it has made them visible. I ask you what kind of love is in my love.

मतलबी सी इस दुनिया में, मैं थोड़ा बेमतलबी सा हूँ, दिखावट के इस जमाने मे, मैं थोड़ा सादगी सा हूँ, छल फरेब के रिश्तों में, मैं थोड़ा मासूम सा हूँ, होने को तो कुछ नहीं मैं, मगर जब होता हूँ, तो महलों की इस दुनिया में, मैं एक बंजारा सा हूँ। Ek.banjaraa ©

“still alive” poem by me
I’m tired of being tired. I want it to be my turn. Worried free, stress free. I say to myself “what’s a little more hunger” as I’m already losing weight. I hate dealing with my depression but I have to. Until I feel better. Therapy appointments get me all choked up but I still go to help me. My... read more

Love tropes!
Okay as tragic as it is, my favourite love trope is star crossed lovers. Two people that just seem so perfect for each other that are just simply meant to be together but simply can't. It's a sad tragedy but I personally find it to be my favourite love story in novels 💞💞💞

Unknown Place
🌹 Have you ever wanted to run, to vanish beyond familiar streets, to shed the weight of known faces, and step into a place where no one calls your name? A quiet dream, a pull to distant horizons, where silence wraps around like comfort, and every path feels new, untouched. Not for escape, but... read more

Quote from my most recent poem “Pointless”
“In silence I ponder, in darkness I drown, The echoes of laughter, now a haunting sound. To throw it all away, to sever the ties, To leave all the pain, beneath endless skies.”

Spring
🌹 Bent, but not broken, a coil within my spine pulls me back, taut with the weight of a thousand days.

Each step forward... read more

When asked, "Tell me about the one who got away."
I sigh deeply.. Because your existence in my life was temporary.. I often wish that you never took that drive.. Because then you'd still be with me, and alive.. One moment you were here.. The next, crushed by drunk driver left alone and in your last moments probably riddled with fear.. So to the... read more
