Moon To My Night Sky

-

I put my heart in a box 

Where it couldn't breathe, 

Choking in my own air

 And bleeding out sin, 

Hanging by a narrow thread 

In between life and death, 

You ripped it right out of my chest 

Kissed it gently and put it back 

And somehow it dances 

to every cadence of your breathing, 

The way you smile slyly 

Even after the world let you down a million times 

Makes this frozen pain lose its crisp 

And slowly fade away, 

The silver light on your face 

Is the only color I now have left, 

Making you the moon to my night sky.

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.

मैं लड़की हूं अलबेली सी..

मैं लड़की हूं अलबेली सी, वो अनजाना सा लड़का है। मेरा उस से यूं मिलना मुझको, एक अफसाना सा लगता है। मैं उसको दोस्त ही कहती हूं. वो मुझको दोस्त समझता है। मैं लड़की हूं अलबेली सी. मेरी बातों को वो सुनता है, मुझे बड़े गौर से तकता है। मैं रो दूतो वो घबराता है. मैं हसू तो वो भी हंसता है। मैं लड़की हूं अलबेली सी. मैं उससे बहुत ही लड़ती हूं. वो मुझसे बहुत झगड़ता है। तुम भूल गई हो ना मुझको, हर बार शिकायत करता है। मैं लड़की हूं अलबेली सी. मुझे जाने क्यूं ये लगता है, वो शायद मुझपे मरता है। कुछ बात तो है उसके दिल में, जो वो कहने से ज़रा डरता है।। मैं लड़की हूं अलबेली सी.. वो अनजाना सा लड़का है।।                                                                 ~Anushthi

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
