#missing poems on Hello Poetry

दर्द होता है अब यूँ, दूर न जाया कीजिए,
सांस रुकती है मेरी, यूँ न सताया कीजिए...
इस तीर को अब, इस दिल में ही रहने दीजिए,
बिखरे अरमानों को, फिर से सजाने दीजिए...

सह न पाएगा अब ये दिल, ये तो ज़रा देखिए,
आँसुओं की फ़रियाद, दिल से सुन तो लीजिए...
ख़फ़ा हैं हमसे अगर, तो एक मौका और दीजिए,
इस दर्द-ए-मोहब्बत को, कोई मरहम तो दीजिए...

मुद्दतों से जो ख़्वाब सजाए हैं मैंने,
उन्हें फिर से दीदार का मौका तो दीजिए...
कितना बेकरार है दिल सनम आपके लिए,
बस एक बार मोहब्बत का संदेशा दीजिए...

छोड़ो न मेरा हाथ, यूँ दूर न जाया कीजिए,
बेचैनियों की आह को, एक बार तो सुन लीजिए...
मेरी धड़कन का हर नग़मा सिर्फ आपके लिए,
फ़रियाद है मेरी, फिर से दीदार करा दीजिए...

सह न पाएगा अब ये दिल, ये तो ज़रा देखिए,
आँसुओं की फ़रियाद, दिल से सुन तो लीजिए...
ख़फ़ा हैं हमसे अगर, तो एक मौका और दीजिए,
बिछड़े लम्हों को फिर से इस दिल में पिरो दीजिए...

दर्द होता है अब यूँ... दूर न जाया कीजिए...
दूर न जाया कीजिए... दूर न जाया कीजिए...

English Translation

Pain lingers within me now, please don’t go far away,
My breath falters, don’t torment me this way...
Let this arrow remain, deep within my heart,
Let these shattered dreams be adorned
This heart can bear it no more, just take a look and see,
Listen to the plea of my tears, hear them once from me...
If you're upset with me, then grant me one more chance,
This aching love, please offer it some healing glance...
The dreams I have cherished for ages,
Let them witness your sight again...
My heart longs endlessly just for you, my love,
Send me a message of love, just once again...
Don’t let go of my hand, don’t drift away like this,
Hear the sighs of my restless soul, just once, please...
Every beat of my heart sings only for you,
This is my plea, let me see you once more...
This heart can bear it no more, just take a look and see,
Listen to the plea of my tears, hear them once from me...
If you're upset with me, then grant me one more chance,
Weave the broken moments back into my heart...
Pain lingers within me now... please don’t go far away...
Don’t go far away... don’t go far away...
This heart can bear it no more, just take a look and see,
Listen to the plea of my tears, hear them once from me...
If you're upset with me, then grant me one more chance,
Weave the broken moments back into my heart...
Pain lingers within me now... please don’t go far away...
Don’t go far away... don’t go far away...

For Emma.

My family moved houses when I was young.
I was scared to start in the new school.
You were the first person to care about me
and I didn’t feel so lonely when I was with you.

You moved away when I was young.
You use to call and so did I.
We use to write and tell each other of our adventures all the time.

Then the phone stopped ringing.
And the letters stopped filling up the letterbox.

I never knew what happened to you…
I guess that’s what growing up does to kids like me and you.

To an old friend. I hope you’ve had a wonderful life.

Falling Awake Apr 12

Absence

Bumps bloom upon my skin,
Each hair rises in anticipation,
But that neural cascade
fails to ******.

Your voice is falling flat,
Just shy of my ear’s drum
And your flesh is icing over,
Just out of my arm’s reach.
Your taste on my lips is fading…

And with a mouthful left to say,
I’m left dehydrating and thirsting,
Unable to swallow your memory.

je te laisserai des mots

if only you’d understand
the light in which i see you.
or the way your absence lingers in a room;
long after you have left it.
i wonder if mirrors melt
under your gaze
or the bedsheets savour
every moment wrapped in you.
i wonder if those around know;
just how wonderful
being in your audience truly is.
the right person
at the wrong time.
fates cruelest joke.
she never let me choose
falling in love with you.
nor has she ever taught me,
on how to stop.

The Missing Piece

I look into the mirror,
a reflection without shine.
I look deeper, seeing my own reflection through my eyes.
But something is missing, something isn’t there.
I feel it, missing in my heart, in my mind.
But what is this yearning?
Can it be love? Or something else?
I’m afraid that no love I can have,
no words come from my mouth to express it.
Even if my soul punched my throat,
no word will come out to speak of it.

It’s hard for me to express any of this, I can only remain silent, hoping that these feelings continue to linger, even if no words are ever spoken.

The Grace of Still Trying

I won’t claim space
you haven't softly opened,
but in the gentle breath
between silence and sound,
I remain

Not as a shadow lingering
nor a ghost from yesterday,
but as someone who always saw you,
clearly, tenderly,
even when your heart feared
what it meant to be truly known.

I know your quiet battles,
the way you fear losing control,
how it aches to reveal yourself,
to step from shadow into light,
uncertain if anyone could truly hold
the weight and wonder of your soul.

I've seen you craft careful armor,
watched you dance on edges of yourself
longing to be witnessed,
yet afraid the world
might look too deeply,
or not closely enough.

But I saw.

I saw the trembling courage
behind every hesitant smile,
the hidden poetry you wrote
with whispered breaths,
the strength in softness
you thought went unnoticed.

I witnessed your silent bravery
the quiet way you loved,
the gentle way you tried,
the powerful beauty
in simply showing up,
even when you felt unseen.

Still Incandescent

Marbled,
guiding madness of delicate
fragile yet submissive
ear *******

Fragile
as a live symphony
