Lets talk about Love… about matters of heart… about soul and being yourself… that pious corner of your life… you would see that heart is like a firefly… it roams around… hurting itself… learning… Flying again… accepting whatever life has done to it.
Poem in Hindi followed by English version for International Viewers
Taken from bilingual poem collection ‘Poetic Buddha’ by Siddharth
आंख भर आंसू
मुठ्ठी में एक रिश्ता लिए
अधूरे से मुझमें
पूरी होने आई थी
;
सांझ के अंधेरे से
गुलाबी हाथ झटककर
दामन थामने मेरा
तू भागी चली आई थी
;
फिर एक प्याली चाय पर
उधड़ता गया वक़्त
सिले हुए हाथ, बातों में
इलायची सी आई थी
;
सरगोशियां थीं
और नज़रें गुंथी हुई
याद है तुम्हें, क्या क्या
कसमें हमने खाई थीं
;
जान मेरी गौर से
कैलेंडर में देखो
महज़ तारीख नहीं
14 फरवरी आई थी
;
International Version
Eyes full of Teardrops
Hands full of Promises
You were Still incomplete
From the grip of darkness
You Walked on…
Into a New Dawn
Molten… Smoked… Open… Free
It Smelled like a cardamom in a cup of Tea
Yes Time was Freezing
as we wanted it to be
Bodies were Tangled… and Vision too
Trying hard.. But not getting through
Then I said to myself.. just be with the flow
Welcome the fresh air.. be Hollow
Since then Februaries are passing by
My heart is roaming like a Firefly
