But why can’t a bubble last?

-Priyanka Jain
Years ago, you happened to me like a magic
A magic that successfully lived the life of a bubble
You vanished, there was a hope that you’ll return
You took a big part of me, now I was a rubble

Then came a new person, he made me happy
I started laughing, life seemed out of trouble
Love felt good, since there were no expectations
And my laugh successfully lived the life of a bubble

Now I was a person incapable of expressing love
Oh that’s untrue, I still loved the beauty of ‘bubble’
Lust was a beautiful, strange language to learn
No more laughing, but a sweet and seductive chuckle

And years after, you happened to me like a magic
A magic that I am sure is still as beautiful as a bubble
I won’t hope this time, you are free to vanish
You’ll take the whole of me, there won’t be any rubble

Forever

-
-Priyanka Jain All my nights are filled with restlessness caused by numerous nightmares Regardless of whether my eyes are closed or not, all my fears lay bare Frightening is the fear of losing the people I want to spend ‘forever’ with I want them to stay, but now I know that ‘forever’ is a myth! Yes, I expect too much because I believe that someone will understand And I am still waiting but it won’t be long when everything will be bland! Sometimes I wonder if they are going to think about me when grey and old Will they acknowledge knowing me or will they act same as today, Cold! I want to know if they will cherish the memory we made all these years That we were once together, in pain or ease, and in smiles or tears Yes, I expect too much because, alas! I don’t have much time left And I don’t want to be unhappy when I leave, I don’t want to be bereft! Time is all I ask for but time is all I don’t have; all begging seems to go in vain To me every moment

रास्ता!

-प्रियंका जैन बहुत थकान सी महसूस होती है अब चलते चलते कदम भी हौसलों की तरह कुछ लड़खड़ाने से लगें हैं इच्छा है कि अब कहीं बैठ कर थोड़ा आराम कर लूँ रास्ता बहुत लम्बा है और मंज़िल आंखों के दायरे से दूर मंज़िल कैसी दिखती है ये भी नहीं पता अभी तो, मगर सुंदर ही होगी क्योंकि सब लोग मंज़िल पाना चाहते हैं। सहारे के लिए ना कोई पेड़ नज़र आता है ना ही कोई दीवार महज़ एक खाली-लम्बा रास्ता है और उस पर चल रही मैं भूख और प्यास बुझाने के लिए बहुत कुछ है यहाँ, मगर अब इच्छा किसी और चीज़ की है जो कहीं दीखती नहीं। फ़िर सवाल ये है मन में कि क्या सबकी मंजिल एक है मुझे लोगों ने बताया कि मेरी मंज़िल क्या है और कहाँ है रास्ता भी उन्होंने दिखाया और मैं चलाने लगी, मगर ये मुमकिन है कि उन्हें अपनी ही मंज़िल गलत मालूम हो। अब थक चुकी हूँ मैं चलते चलते पर सफ़र तो अभी शुरू हुआ है हौसले मज़बूत करने ज़रूरी हैं क्योंकि चलना बहुत है अभी एक इच्छा ये है कि कोई साथी मिल जाए इसी रास्ते में कहीं दोनों को सहारा मिल जाएगा, रास्ता थोड़ा आसान हो जाएगा फ़िर डर लगता है कि कहीं सहारे की आदत न हो जाए, क्योंकि स

Glorious Defeat

-
-Priyanka Jain I fell, fell beyond the heights that anyone can measure The fall was scary, it was dark, hopelessness overpowered My senses became numb, wet eyes, silent screams escaped I was terrified of what seemed like ‘endless’ plunge and seizure Had it been a physical fall, the end would have been light and easy But the fall and swirl were into the trap of heightened emotions Uncanny, perplexing sentiments made my body cold and soul weak Such dread caused naissance of threat and defeat, I felt queasy Little did the evil know, I was unbreakable, stronger than its own force The terror and wounds made the façade of ‘weak’ fall off from my face The moment I realised my true strength, I saw ‘fear’ quivering at my gaze I landed victoriously on my feet, all ‘malicious’ died after a ghastly cower
