जीना इसी का नाम है

अपनों को छोड़ आये हैं |
हसीन फूलों  को छोड़ आये हैं |
दुःख  तो  है, पर क्या करें ?
ज़िन्दगी  के जो नए मोड़ पे आ खड़े हैं |

अब इस आस के सहारे जी लेंगे,
 कि फिर मिलेंगे, जल्द ही मिलेंगे !

Dover

I bet.

I'll make you soar up in the sky,
Dive into the deep blue water,
Roll in the green misty grass,
Climb up the chalk-white cliff,
All at the same time.

With love,
Dover


You bet, you did.

Life was on the edge,
Gasping for breath.
Yet, you teased me,
With your lighthouse.
I didn't mind.

Instead, I shared
Some lovely moments with friends.
Captured you in silicon,
And now I'm back.

Back I'm, but with a void.
You make me cry.
I don't mind.
For I feel the warmth of Your hug.
You make me smile.

Have I left a bit of me up there ?
Or have you decided to be with me ?

With Love,
A mortal.
