डर लगता है

written by: Atul Shagird

@shagird6

ज़हन में सवालों से डर लगता है
तेरे दूर जाने के खयालों से डर लगता है
तेरी आंखों कि कैद का सबब मुझ से पूछ
तेरे उलझे हुए बालों से डर लगता है
एक मखमली जूती बनवाने का इरादा है
तेरे पांव में पड़े छालों से डर लगता है
आखिरी सांस तक तेरा होने की हसरत है
इन किस्से कहानियों की मिसालों से डर लगता है

The Forest by Maggie Watson

Like a tree, she has watched many seasons change.
While nature adapts as if oblivious to pain,
her roots now crimson twist with stored emotions.
The rain never cleanses or purifies the leaves.
They only change colour from brown to green.
From the shadows, she must fight to cleave her way back
to the light.
Optical illusions have waylaid her path.
Wasted time has stunted her growth.
An empath absorbs it all until they bleed.
This canopy of suffering is not hers to carry...
