Promise
Lalit Kumar Feb 24
I promise to save YOU
I promise
To quiet your pointless suffering
To wash your pain away
To hear about your deafening loneliness
And Here I am waiting to hear a quiet footstep
Leading to my borderless isolation
Whispering a sweet song of liberty
Of a carefree life
A life inherently meaningless
So
I won't give you a broken promise
And a false hope  
Of sanity
For a life lived on a borrowed time
But yeah till I breath I promise to stay by your side As your friend,soulmate , may be more someday...

WHO AM I
Lalit Kumar Feb 24
There are those who seek me a lifetime but never we meet,
And those I kiss but who trample me beneath ungrateful feet.
At times I seem to favor the clever and the fair,
But I bless all those who are brave enough to dare.
By large, my ministrations are soft-handed and sweet,
But scorned, I become a difficult beast to defeat.
For though each of my strikes lands a powerful blow,
When I ****, I do it slow . . .





~LOVE

Undefined love
Lalit Kumar Feb 24
Love Me, Love Me Not
I think it is unkind for me to be in love
and be in love still
I think it is unkind for me to love you
Like every other petal of a flower

I did not pick it
But it is wilting either way.

A Story Unwritten
Lalit Kumar Feb 24
I wanted to write us down,
Not to change what was,
But to keep it somewhere safe,
Between the lines of my heart.

You asked me not to.
And I said I wouldn’t.
Because love, even in its silence,
Deserves to honor your wish.

But it stings, you know?
First, when my heart reached out,
And yours stayed still.
Now, when my words want to wander,
And I can’t let them go.

I wonder—
Do unwritten stories fade?
Or do they stay alive in shadows,
Quietly filling the spaces
Between everything I cannot say?

I’ll hold it, though,
This chapter that never was.
Not on paper, not in ink,
But somewhere deeper,
Where only I can feel it.

— The End —
