Bijli Pearl Poem
lots of grey
in my black & white picture of yours
the dialogues unheard
and pinching silences
of choosing the same words
as I come through
to laugh off the world
the view infront
steer clears of the fog
only to show for a second
the ever perfect smile of his
and that brings me to
glistening over the past
how the truth seemed to be far
from the lines I drew
and so does the hope too, now

Bijli Pearl Poem
stepping towards you
for the first time
everything around seeming blurry blues
except for us in red taking the spotlight
with pale skies and cold weather outside
you were like the sunshine
shining its parade on me
you taking my hand, running ahead straight into your fantasy
nothing less..nothing more… perfect it was
pretending to be kids in love like older couple
pulling me closer to you
soft touches & stolen kisses
my world crashing with each moment
carrying my feelings away
slipping slowly into the crowd together
head resting onto your shoulder
striking view along the sidewalks
wondering if it’s unreal for the umpteenth time
two different tunes diffusing into one soulful music
blaming it on the universe for its dramatic play
tryin’ na stop endless times
before it keeps bringing me back to you again and again

Bijli Pearl Poem
Twinge of feelings stir in my bosom
every time your eyes meet mine
reminding me of the scars of our walk
leaving trails of bitterness within
How I wish to show you
how deep your knives cut through my soul
yet you only end up seeing
how much can my heart bleed for yours

Bijli Pearl Poem
staying afar from the people I love…
the fear is starting to creep in slowly ..
at times with the sound of a phone ringing
the heart’s rhythm of mine touching the skies..
also sometimes searching unjustly,
locking your eyes at the screen
with the time blaring off behind…
speeding fast with the images
in not so kind of a mind
knowing whispers of the wind couldn’t carry
the weight of the times
for the roots spread too long
yet greedily wishing on tethering the family’s love
& anchoring the friendships,
all being away from the sea
just about helplessly hoping to hold onto,
and to never stopping myself from
casting the lines to the stars
while still steering through the squalls
awaiting whatever comes through next

Bijli Pearl Poem
forever entangled in your word riddles
cross-checking the depth of it all
meaning to leave it behind
for I know when it revealed your cards
things are spiral
hinting the inside insanity
far along the gameplay
your prayers and charms failing through
on my way making it past you
to unveil the love I deserve
and painting butterflies wherever
found my thoughts oppressed
longing for you

Bijli Pearl Poem
when u can feel the doom
as you create ruckus
to break the shell of yours
in making your way
into the unknown
a sense of loss
overshadowed by anonymity
is all it comes down to
shaking off the cold
reaching the surface
is all it turns out to be about

Bijli Pearl Poem
Riding the train on a summer afternoon
feelings of fallacy hurled upon me,
satori in my brown orbs with a speck of gold dust inside,
I was ready to take on my heels back to you,
these intrusions being new
as I cannot assert with the flow
something pulled at my soul
for I lost all track of the sea,
fortified myself down the rabbit hole
seasons turned hazy,
troubled with blurring horizons
juxtaposing everyone else’s against yours in wild tones,
tangled in circles of alliances
crestfallen over you,
just like a little parrot, the throbbing heart of mine
whispers syllables of your calling
and it brought the storm along,
the stark lightning of which struck the chord
in dissipating the blues of mine
aching to be raptured in untethered pragma of love,
while into the deepest of desolation
stepping into your territory felt far-fetched ?
moon light shepherded through
the momentary solace of the soul sought after,
etched onto my roots
when time demands of imperative forgetfulness
you remain
the footprint of yours remain unparalleled in my infinity

Bijli Pearl Poem
His intrinsic calamity of calmness
burning down my bugbears
meticulous admirer that you are
lifting me through the stairs of Arcadia
with this brutal force of ocean’s nature,
re-reading the solitude of memories
the real unfolding the fictional underneath
to profess and pass through the infinite
treasuring the hearts of the time
like a favourite book of mine

Bijli Pearl Poem
My Mansion’s myriad of elongated spaces
full of small blue boxes everywhere
treasure in un-captured capacities
sealed with golden letters
turning tarnished over time
as simply forgotten to remember
key to the secret remained the same in eternity
cherished & choosing unfazed to connection
welcoming the eyes
in seeing the world you cannot know
and lets the heart believe in
the voice only you can hear
till it becomes the music of your love
to the life that resonates within

Bijli Pearl Poem
telling myself the truth
until you ask me again
and my answer changes
without my heart questioning twice
all for to weave a smile on your face
to not break the hanging threads,
falling loosely onto my knees
not wanting to lose you
