How to be strangers again?

-
I will not suggest any plan;
But I do want to know
and understand,
How to be strangers again;
For people whom you consider
Your adored and dear friend;
Also acquire immense power;
To hurt you and cause you pain!
I would rather have
polite conversations,
Over deep sharing and
heart to heart talks,
For you never know
what misunderstanding,
May cause a close friend
to turn into a cold rock?
Its better to receive
A mistaken or
meaningless birthday wish;
Than to keep glancing
over the mobile, wondering
If the call has been missed?
I really don't mind
strangers passing me by,
without caring to
return my greeting;
But its agonising to
have a cherished friend
ignore my texts,
or look the other way
to escape my meeting!
So someone please tell
my dear old soul,
That can neither part ways
Nor is able to cajole,
Its confidante who has
Turned away, without
citing any reason;
Leaving in its footsteps
Only torment and heart-burn;
How do I turn the
clock back in time,
when my bosom
turned distant friend,
Was only an
acquaintance benign?

Embrace Growth

Take it slow, life sometimes is a rollercoaster ride but rushing always doesn't help you.  Whatever happens in life is meant for a reason, whatever leaves you are making space for the better, and whatever is staying right now is getting better just for you. No matter what happens in life know that you should take things slow to last long.  Growth is a prolonged process, you start a race and you tend to wait to finish it in the next move, you observe things, you gather what's required, you try to understand how to win, and you're set to go.  Healing from things that left you broken is quite a tough job, but it's never impossible. Healing takes time, most of all it requires patience, it requires continuous effort, and care for oneself.  Trust is the major part of any relationship, you could be with someone who doesn't love you because gradually with trust you start to love, but when there's no trust, things fall apart, and everything seems messy and doubtful.

Our Home

Together we will create a home with no loud anger, no explosive rage, no slamming doors or breaking glass, no holes punched into the walls so hard that the foundation rocks and cracks.  Our home will be gentle, it will be warm. I will keep you safe and you will keep me still.  No fear, no hurt, no worry. We come from broken and twisted places but together we will build something whole and safe. We will curl around each other like a pair of quotation marks at night, warm and comforted.  In the mornings, you'll sing in the shower again. We will heal, and we will raise a family that doesn't need to heal. ~Anushthi

Ek Kahani Aisi Bhi

"ये... ये....ये...तुम यहां क्यों रख रही हो माही?" सागर ने जमीन में एक गुल्लक गाड़ती माही से पूछा। 'एक पन्द्रह सोलह साल का दिखने वाला लड़का था। पर उसकी अक्ल एक सात आठ साल के बच्चे से ज्यादा न थी। "वो इस लिए क्यूंकि इसमें बहुत सारे पैसे हैं। जो अगर बाहर रहे तो कोई भी उन्हे चुरा सकता है। इसलिए मैं इन्हें यहां सेफ कर रही हूं।" माही ने सागर को समझाते हुए कहा और उस गुल्लक के ऊपर मिट्टी डाल कर उसे ढक दिया। "तो अब ये सेफ रहेंगे? कोई इन्हें यहां से नहीं निकालेगा?" सागर फिर से एक नया सवाल दाग दिया। "नही...क्योंकि इस बात का सिर्फ तुम्हे और मुझे पता है। और मै तो किसी को नही बताऊंगी क्या तुम किसी को बताओगे ये सिक्रेट?" माही ने खड़े होते हुए पूछा। "नही...तुम नही बताओगी तो मैं भी नही बताऊंगा।" सागर ने पक्के पन से कहा। "गुड बॉय । और जब हम दोनो किसी को नही बताएंगे तो कोई इन्हें कभी नहीं निकालेगा। ये यहां सेफ रहेंगे।"माही ने खुश होते कहा । सागर भी मुस्कुरा दिया। माही और सागर बहुत अच्छे दोस्त थे। दोनो के घर आस पास ही थे। सागर एक स्पेशल चाइल्
