Those Days Are Gone

Those days are gone—

like that tattoo on your wrist, faded and worn.

When she danced in joy,

my eyes brimmed with tears.


She loved to hold my hand,

and I’d wrap it around her wrist,

feeling her heartbeat—

a quiet song meant only for me.


She’d return my touch with mischievous giggles,

always eager to run,

to chase the world with shining eyes.


That anklet on her feet,

those tiny earrings—

they were my greatest treasures.


And when I went mad

about the tattoo you once had,

you masked it with random scribbles.

But still—

only I could feel the rhythm beneath,

the life that danced in your veins.


Now, when I hold her wrist,

my love for you flows into her—

two hearts beating the same sweet hymn.


She is my queen, my princess.

And as I kneel,

running my hand through her hair,

planting a kiss upon her forehead,

I whisper a vow:


“You will be my last love—

and I will be your first.”


And with that beautiful smile,

she says,

“I love you, Dad.”

Timeless Chatters

  The love still whispers close to me— a tender tale, not taught, but free. It first appeared in blushing hands, then kissed my heart like drifting sand. From youthful laughs to lonely cries, its echo danced beneath the skies. It flickered on—then dimmed once more, a fate that knocks, then shuts the door. The tale moves on with endless grace, like snowfall’s hush on time’s own face. It passed from friend to fleeting flame, and I from child to youth became. It’s how I walk, the path I tread— a tale of love that’s never dead. The clock of life keeps ticking slow, through secrets only old hearts know. And in the dusk of lust and dust, the lamp of love betrayed its trust. With frozen hands and silent mind, let’s choose, instead, to just be kind. For time will come, and time will go— but still, the tale runs soft and low…

A Letter to the Love of My Life

Love struck me more times than I can count— but this time, it felt like heaven. Winter shut its weary doors, and you stepped in, a blaze of summer light. I talked too much, you smiled and listened. Neither of us knew those fleeting moments would rewrite our lives. You stood beside me— the most beautiful soul I’d ever seen. I stared, like a stargazer lost in constellations. We’ve ridden the rollercoaster, held on through the rise and fall. Loved like each breath might be the last— perhaps that hunger kept the flame alive. You gave up all you knew, just to walk beside me. You faced storms, even danced with death, to give me the rarest gift of all. And when he giggles and people are astonished, I would say— It’s nothing but a stardust of our love. You saw me cry, small and unguarded. I promise— you’ll be the last to see me that way. Years slip past, oceans in between, but when you kiss me in your dreams, I feel it— a sweet giggle trailing down the back of my neck. I may not be the best ma...

The story untold

It takes a lot of guts to tell a story. Being old won’t stop me from that—after all, it’s just a story. When Uncle Abraham spoke, I could see tears running down his cheeks. I asked him, “Have you ever regretted anything in life?” “Beta,” he said, “either someone is lying, or they’re a fool if they claim to have lived life without regrets.” When I was young, I never understood what regret really meant. But now, I know how heavy it can feel. A proper goodbye can soften it, ease the sting a little. But you don’t always get to choose who you say goodbye to—you just assume they’ll be there forever. With his shivering hands, he lit up a cigarette. He was so particular about it; he always rolled his own. The Macallan splashed over the ice, and with a sip of that, he began his story. Maybe you could call it a story of regrets—but I like to think of it as a story of experience. Because those regrets, those moments, shaped the man he is today. Oh! I forgot to introduce us. I’m Sangeeta—of course...
