Do I love you?

When she asked if I love her not...

Do I love you?
I don’t know what love is
But I want to feel it with you
If that’s love, then yes, I love you.

Do I love you?
Maybe I don’t think of you all time
But I care and ask, “Have you eaten yet?”
If that’s love, then yes, I love you.

Do I love you?
I don’t cry about your problems
But I help and teach you to face them
If that’s love, then yes, I love you.

Do I love you?
I’m practical-thinking kind person
But with you, I try to be crazy like you
If that’s love, then yes, I love you.

Do I love you?
I don’t smile or laugh a lot
But with you, I’m all smiles
If that’s love, then yes, I love you.

Do I love you?
I don’t talk a lot on telephone
But I’m all jittery when you’re not reachable
If that’s love, then yes, I love you.

Do I love you?
Yes, we fight many times
But next morning, I try everything to make things work
If that’s love, then yes, I love you.

Do I love you?
I have her number saved, my ex
But I feel guilty when I see her profile picture
If that’s love, then yes, I love you.

Do I love you?
I hate khichu and sandwiches
But with you, I eat it to see laugh on your face
If that’s love, then yes, I love you.

Do I love you?
I’m good when I’m alone
But with you, everything seems pleasing
If that’s love, then yes, I love you.

How do you know that you love me?
You ask this question many times
But I reply today with this poem
If that’s love, then yes, I love you.

Silence Speaks

I came home with an extra pencil and eraser today, he picked me up, my dad, and put a hand on the left cheek and rubbed gently. It’s not good to take other’s thing, give it back tomorrow, he said with a loving smile. He pulled me closer, you shouldn’t do that again, he said and kissed. I was five years old. Who was I to listen to him? I was eating chocolate, looking here and there, hoping no one was watching me. How was the chocolate? He asked when I came home. Colours of happiness on my face replaced with a blank expression. He didn’t ask how I got the chocolate. He probably knew I must have stolen it from somewhere, from someone. He got angry, he wanted to slap but my mom couldn’t let him do so. I was just seven years old. He threw a few words in anger. I got more homework and no dinner. But who was I to listen to him? I was playing cricket with friends on the street. My father came from the office, watched us play for some time. He smiled and taught me the right way to d

Sshhh!!! Listen to The Silence!!!

“Nothing is impossible because impossible says I’m possible.” I heard this quote from my brother, and after that, I started thinking that, “How we can say impossible is possible? Because we can’t say silence is sound...” in some of those days, I preferred to be silent during arguments, while gossiping, when someone is talking, when the house is empty. My silence was making a   tone   of sense. I started believing that silence doesn’t make you inactive, it would be glorious if you could listen the sound of the silence. You can listen to silence and learn from it. It   has quality   and dimensions   all of its own. One of my memories that I would like to share with you, in my high school days, I was such a mischievous boy. I had made a big mischief. Like   an every   Principal, our school Principal also called my father. I was in front of my dad, worried and thinking   about   what he would say. But what happened? He didn’t say even a single word; he just gazed at me for a minute

You are the gist of my life

        The wounds you gave me, they still hurt,         but I choose not to cry now.         The hole you left in my heart cause pains,         but I choose not to feel it anymore now.         The eyes you used to watch in, still cries         but I choose not to show it out now.         The lips which used to lock with yours, now dries,         but I choose not to share love now.         The messages we shared, I still read,         but I choose to destroy them all.         The way you used to look at me, still flashes,         but I choose not to miss you now.         The first picture we took together, I still see,         but I choose to tear it now.         The track where we used to walk, I still remember,         but I choose to eschew walking out that way now.         The memories we built are still strong,         but I choose to fade it out now.         I choose to do all these things every day,         but every time
