BREAKING
Akriti Apr 21
We break a piece of glass....unintentionally.
We break a loving heart....intentionally.

When a glass breaks,
it makes a sound.
When a heart breaks,
it cries in silence.

WHAT I FOUND
Akriti Apr 20
I went in search of love
which was not there.
But what I found
was truly rare,
made my search worthwhile.

For I found -

      A protector
      A guide
      A friend
      A brother.

DON'T FIX ME
Akriti Apr 19
I am broken,
don't fix me.
If you find me in pieces,
don't collect me.
I am replaceable,
just replace me.
It's quite easy.

WHEN I AM GONE
Akriti Apr 19
How will you fare
when I am gone?
Don't stop living
on my account .

Find a new light
in your heart .
Move on
make a fresh start.

In your journey down the line,
love will find you one more time.

MEMORIES
Akriti Apr 18
If not for a lifetime,
walk just a few steps with me.

Not asking for the entire age,
Spend just a few moments with me.

Share a little of your story,
listen to a little of mine .

Even if not you ,
your memories will stay with me .

In the lonely journey of life ahead,
they will be my companion.

MELODIES OF THE HEART
Akriti Apr 17
If I am not here tomorrow ,
Don't grieve my departure ,
Don't let your eyes filled with tears
in sorrow.
If possible, erase me from your heart.
If a memory of me ever surfaces,
hum one of my songs.

These aren't just words-
They are emotions of my heart.
In every melody lies,
A heartbeat of my soul.

Preserve them with care
for in them
I shall live forever.

WORLD OF AI

but there I will be."

We At HP
Akriti Apr 16
We don't know each other,
We have not seen each other.
Yet, we are bound together
by an invisible thread of emotions
in this world of words .

Together we stand ,

    for each other.
A humble tribute to all the members of our beloved Hello Poetry family.

TRUE OR FALSE

No love is true or false

in every little deed.

What a wonderful place to be -

HOPE
Akriti Apr 12
In despair,

when breathing
feels like a crime
do not give up.

hold on to hope

the candle of hope

A little hope and
a little courage

will pull you through....

       even hell.

WHY ?
Akriti Apr 11
Why have you come back?

what do you wish to see

or do you want what is left of me

Go away
Don't come back....

I've had enough of you..

You are not worthy of my love.

LOVE'S JOURNEY

It brings a thunderstorm,
Shattering the heart into pieces.

MY PLACE IN THE WORLD
Akriti Apr 10
I am still in search of my place
in the world.

In hope,I start
then stop to ask:
Is this where I belong ?

Everything works fine at the start
then it falls apart .

So I move on ,
Start over ,
stop again to ask :
Do I really belong here?

I have started again
now I am afraid to stop and ask
once more :
Is this the place where I belong?

After all, I am only a speck of dust
amongst the galaxy of stars.

THE MOON
Akriti Apr 10
There is a moon up in the sky ,
another one that walks the earth.
I deeply love them both.

Is this what is hurting you ?
Is this why you are walking away in silence ?

If only the Moon had a voice ,
it would have smiled and whispered-

" He loves me only because
in me, he sees you."

FRIENDSHIP
Akriti Apr 9
Strong as a rock,
Unbreakable like a promise.
Yes, it is friendship -
A bond built on trust.

Once made, never broken
The older it gets ,
Stronger it becomes .
Far or near, always there .

Seasons come and go,
But friendship remains intact.
Never fades away nor disappears ,
Stays with you like the Sun -

Always shining bright
To brighten up your life
Removing all the dark clouds
Away from your life.
This one is for you Immortality. HAPPY BIRTHDAY.

TOGETHER
Akriti Apr 8
Destruction caused by war,
Innocent lives lost,
Everything turned to dust .

Where do we pick up
How do we rebuild
How do we overcome the grief
of the loss of our loved ones

How do we begin again
How do we find the strength to move on
How do we live on
when everything is gone


         TOGETHER

we can - if we join hands.
Apr 8 · 149
LET'S BE FRIENDS

चांद
Akriti Apr 7
एक चाँद है आशमाँ में    
एक है ज़मीन पर
दोनो ही से है मुझे प्यार  बेहद
रूठ कर बैठे हो इसलिए
क्योंकि चाँद से भी है प्यार मुझे  
सुनो कहता है क्या चाँद मुस्कुराते हुए  -

"प्यार करता है वो मुझसे इसलिए  क्योंकि मुझमें  
  उसे  तुम्हारा  चेहरा  नज़र आता है "||

IT'S TIME
Akriti Apr 6
It is time
to rise and fight.

It is time

for our tomorrow
    
          or else

there will be none.

TO BE
Akriti Apr 5
If  I  got to choose
what would I be

yet happy,
I will fly free .

Touch me - I will sting.

ASHES OF LOVE
Akriti Apr 5
I saw a light in your heart,

A LOVE BRIDGE
Akriti Apr 4
I have no riches
to win your heart,
No power

someday,
our hearts will meet.


Hopefully.

LITTLE BY LITTLE
Akriti Apr 4
Little by little ,
I fell in love .
A gentle smile,
every once in a while.
I fell in love .
A few words of wisdom,
Whenever I felt lost.

A  little help ,
Every time I needed.
I fell in love with you.
With each passing day,
I love you a little more...

BEAUTIFULLY BROKEN

All that is beautiful is not treasure.

THE GAME YOU PLAYED
Akriti Apr 3
What was love for me
Was only a game for you.
I gave you all my love
You have torn  my heart apart
Shattered my life.
All my dreams turned into nightmares
All sweet memories turned  to bitter poison
My heart suffers in agony,
by the deep wounds you have gifted me.

All in the name of love.
O' how I wish I were born without a heart.

WORTHLESS CHILD
Akriti Apr 1
You wanted a boy
You got me
Were you happy
Of course not
I did all the right things
Took care of you
Didn't chase after boys
Rather, I chased my dreams
Made a name in the world
People I meet say- we are proud of you !
But you are ashamed .
I am still your worthless child
Just because I am a girl.
Akriti Mar 31
मैं ना रहूं कल तो
मेरे जाने का  कोई  गम ना करना |
मेरे गम  में अपनी आंखें नम ना करना |
हो सके तो दिल से भुला देना मुझे  |
याद जो आऊ कभी तो
मेरा कोई नगमा गुनगुना लेना |
ये सिर्फ़ शब्द नहीं
दिल के जज़्बात है मेरे
हर नगमा में छुपा एक दिल की धड़कन है |
इन्हे  संभाले रखना तुम
इनमें ज़िंदा में रहूंगी सदा  ||

POISON
Akriti Mar 30
Once, I despised you ,
Yet, you turned out to be my truest friend .
Come, touch my lips ,
Slip down my throat,
Reach for my soul
Take it out ,
Carry it to the unknown,
Far away from this miserable world.
Bury it there for all eternity,
So it may never rise again.
Mar 29 · 106
IT'S MY TIME
Akriti Mar 29
Yesterday, I was nothing .
I was happy.
You pulled me down .
Treated me like trash.
It ignited a fire in me.

Now, I shine bright ,
just like the Sun .
Don't come closer
You will burn ,
In my light.

DREAMER'S DREAM
Akriti Mar 29
I saw her walking on a full moon night ,
Wearing a silver gown ,
Her face shining like a brilliant star .
She looked at me and smiled .

I stood ,wondering who she was .
Soon, I found her standing next to me .
She greeted me with her embrace,
and a kiss upon my lips.

Alas! I  woke up -
It was only a dream.

LET US TRY
Akriti Mar 26
This is our world-
Yours and mine.
We call it home.
It's not perfect ;
It has flaws .
True, we can't make it perfect .
But with a little bit of kindness ,
and a little bit of love
we can always make it better .

Only if we try-
Let us try.

यादें
Akriti Mar 25
जिंदगी भर ना सही ,
दो कदम तो मेरे साथ  चलो  |
सारी उमर ना सही ,
बस दो पल मेरे साथ गुजारो
कुछ अपनी कहो,
कुछ मेरी सुनो |
तुम ना सही ,
ये यादें मेरे संग रहेंगे |
तन्हा जिंदगी के सफर में ,
यहीं मेरे हमसफर बनेंगे  ||

HEART'S WISDOM
Akriti Mar 25
Once I was asked..if I could,
would I trade my broken heart with a perfect new heart ?
As tempting as it was,
I said I would not.
"Strange", he said. "Why not?"
With a smile I replied

"It is my broken heart that has turned me into a poet.
Each time it aches, emotions flows like a river
from where a beautiful new poem is born ,
which then I share with the world,
to bring them a moment of joy. "
