A Love Like The 90's.

-

Poetry doesn't always needs to rhyme,
If it tells a story,
And here’s mine.
I have never been in love,
Not with a person for sure,
But I know myself,
And I am a hopeless romantic,
Looking for a love so sweet,
So cheesy,
I want a love like the 90s
I want to love you like the 90’s
Like the old catchy songs,
Like the rose tucked in my hair,
I know it sounds so cliche,
But oh my I want to love you like the 90’s.


Like your oversize shirt,
And a bandana in my hair,
Like that puffed up hair,
While we sit in the wind,
You with your guitar and sing,
In a voice so pure,
Notes unmatched but beautiful to hear.
Like those crazy dance moves,
No one could resist.
Like the Monica to your chandler.
Like the shy smiles,
When our eyes meet.
For eye contact seemed more intimate than a kiss on your lips.
For eye contact is a lovely thing,
Dangerous but good god so lovely.
The first glance we shared,
For it set my soul on fire.
I know this sounds too cliche but I want to love you like the 90’s.
Like the first letter you wrote,
Oh i still have it somewhere safe.
Oh how beautiful it was,
For the letter had your essence,
Your touch ,
Your presence.
I don’t want the late night texts,
I want to love you the old fashioned way,
Oh the sweet nothings,
Is what I crave for,
Talking while we watched the sunset is what I ask for
I want the love so sweet,
I want to love you like the 90s
For it was a love so innocent,
A love so deep,
A love so real.
It was not based on something as temporary as beauty,
It was beautiful in itself.
Oh I look around and think maybe I was born in the wrong era,
Cause I guess I am just a old soul seeking for love.
I want the grand gestures and the little things,
I don’t want your pick up lines,
I miss those days when a poem was meant to make one smile.
Oh how do I say this,
My love may sound so cheesy but I know it’s real.
I want to love you like the 90s,
Like the picture of yours that I have in my pocket and not the one that disappears in 10 seconds.
I want the love where you look at me,
And smile like an idiot.
Like the way you practice a hundred times,
Before approaching me to speak,
And not just swoop in my DM’s with a Hi and heart emoji,
I swear it’s creepy.
Like the secret little randevous,
We had at the tea stalls,
After we left from school,
Hoping to see your face soon.
I don’t know when did love fade away,
When did we take something as beautiful as love and wrapped it into something so twisted.
I am a hopeless romantic ,
And I don’t regret,
I know I’ll find an old soul,
Just like me out there,
And then I will say,
It’s you,
It’s you whom I want to love like the 90s.

“Do you read often?”   The little kid asked me, looking at me as if asking for an answer in the most poetic yet simple manner. “I do, when I need to escape the reality.” “Now what is that supposed to mean, why would you like to escape the reality when it’s all you have?” *****                                                                                                There is a war going on, the one which we fight with ourselves and the one where the heart and mind are  cursed to exist together in the same being. “Oh! What would I give to feel and not to think” and  “Maybe I  would silence the beating of this erratic thunder going on inside me that clouds my thoughts” “kisse chupaye ghumta hai tu khud ko, khwaabon ko sath liye apne man ko peeche chorde, kyu bhag rha h kisse bhag rha hai tu” 'There was a horrible, erratic thumping in  my  chest, as if a large  bird  was trapped  inside my  ribcage and  beating  itself to death.&#

 There is a very ordinary word in the English dictionary that holds a truly inspiring meaning to it. “Perseverance” In Simple terms, it means: “ Continued effort to do or achieve something, even when this is difficult or takes a long time ” These simple words as defined by the Cambridge dictionary may seem ordinary to one but they hold an infinite pool of motivation for someone who never stops trying even in the face of adversity, failure, or delay. Perseverance isn't just a quality; it's a mindset that propels us forward through challenges, setbacks, and uncertainties. It's about staying committed to our goals, even when the path gets tough. You know the saying right?  Things are going to be difficult.  But you, You are going to be difficult-er  XD Be a problem to your problems, mark your territory!! Well, to be honest, you may not have heard of this saying cause I just made it up! LOL!                          As we navigate our careers, we encounter obstacles

“khud ki talash mei khud ko hi kho rahe hai hum” #lost myself along the way to discover who I am “You broke your promise” My 10 year old self screams at me. I stand still, looking into her eyes that twinkle with hopes and dreams, a new dream every day, a new hope, a new goal, a new promise to self, a new moment worth remembering, within a second I see all of myself that I left behind a long time ago. Today when I look back, I realize I left a part of me that I never realized I ever had. “ Into the starry night, I gaze into infinity, wishing upon a falling star, will it fulfill my wishes or pass by like any other dead star” I have gazed into infinity, talked to an unknown body that doesn’t exist but seems to grant wishes, maybe the hope of finding myself, the old me who dreamt with eyes wide open kept me going, to search a little deeper, to look into the unknown, to wish upon a dying star. But today I stand here, on the verge of tomorr
