Taut Heart

On days of your silence My heart feels like a taut blob As if a piece of land Is torn and cracked Due to drought And meeting you Made me realize I have an insatiable side As my heart stays unquenchable Until it hears from you © Sakshi Gangwani

She hoped

She hoped for the time When stars would align So they get a chance To share each other’s smile When while looking in each other’s eyes Their hearts would express Everything withheld all this while When the questions, explanations Fears and shadows turn trivial And the pain of past or the worry of future Would

Canvas of my heart

You exist in every stroke Every hue and shade In every shape Imbued on the canvas of my heart Leaving behind Not even an iota of space And its not just my heart That longs for you For my soul too Is brimmed with my love for you © Sakshi Gangwani

Icy cold

In the busyness of life If my thought crosses your mind Hold me there for more than a trice Giving me enough time To drench in your warmth It may prepare me for Icy cold days When you hide behind the clouds Refusing to appear on the horizon My eyes are on © Sakshi Gangwani

Web of illusion

While she was celebrating his presence he was bereaving her absence Maybe they both were stuck In a web of illusion For neither had a clear vision © Sakshi Gangwani

Wholeness

You may not realize But the mere whiff of your presence Converts my walk into strides And every missing piece of my heart mysteriously unifies © Sakshi Gangwani

Esoteric Bond

Everytime she looks at their journey Rereading the chapters And revisiting the moment Of their meeting She gets engulfed by the sense of awe The strangers who never felt like strangers The moments so brief Yet enough to make a lifetime of memories Was it a coincidence Or was it something their Souls were seeking

His smile

The moment she saw his smile Her lost rhythm found a way back And It seemed as if the sunshine Ripped through the grey clouds To reach her heart And envelope it in its warmth © Sakshi Gangwani

Those Endearments

The way a parched land Hungrily absorbs Every drop of water that falls on it Is how her heart responds On hearing the endearments He uses for her © Sakshi Gangwani

That Shelter

He was her hope against hope In the warmth of his words her soul feels sheltered from the Pretentiousness of the world And On days when he appears Distant and cold It suddenly seems like The colors of life Were robbed by gloom © Sakshi Gangwani
