ZARA

Under this crescent moon, I am remembering every word you ever uttered... holding you closer more than ever,  as if in your warm memories, my soul loves to burn cherishing you like a quiet prayer my heart always muttered.   ~ Zara 

Being present in broad daylight under a heavy grey sky that seems as if it would burst into tears at any moment, surrounded by green pastures, people moving here and there, with no sign of a bright sun or even a faded moon, the cold winds, and the stillness of winter; my thoughts still could not let anything cross my mind except you. Seeing you in every earthly heaven, wishing for you to be beside me, imagining us lost in an amorous moment, I realized, as if my mind had surrendered to my heart that my existence had become limited only to you. ~ Zara

Silent moments of the night, dim lights, your strong presence within absence, and the self within me all merge into a single, living moment, flowing into one another: you, me, and our unforgettable, eternal bond. Physical distance loses its essence and surrenders to this moment. I have kept you hidden in my soul and my verses. I have buried you deeply within the lines I write. I have etched you into the very soul of my words; you exist within my soul, my heart, and, most importantly, within my diary, where no one has access. You have settled deeply within my soul’s embrace, where the two of us are aligned at a depth only the universe and whatever lies beyond it can witness: that we are one till we breathe our last. ~ Zara

The moment I came across the rain, every drop reflected your image, as if my eyes were made only to find you in everything the universe placed before me. The dark clouds, the dancing trees, the wet paths, and the fallen leaves, all carried your presence, becoming a reminder that every beautiful thing holds but one reflection, and that is yours. Standing for hours by the window and watching the rain, feeling its smoothness and softness, breathing in its quiet scent, I found a strange calm. And only later did I realize, it was not the rain that brought me peace, but your imagined presence within every falling drop. ~ Zara

The night before today, I encountered a fantasy about us: you and me, under the sapphire moonlight, tiny, vivid, glossy stars, a sight of the ocean with a light wind, soothing sand under our feet, my fingers tightened into yours, eyes displaying each other's reflection, tousled hair, uneasy breath, so merging into one another's souls as if making us one; we were weaving an endless memory of being one. Wind is singing our song of love; the universe is witnessing us being trove of love and the devotion and tenderness we are radiating, both to the world and to each other's souls. The ocean, with its dark energy, is astonishingly dancing with its waves to make our moment of being one feel whole; the night sky is unfolding its beautiful colours to shape an idyllic moment of happiness, and we are delightedly holding each other's image while pushing the pressures of the world to their limits, admiring each other to the utmost. ~ Zara 

Your image comes in front of my eyes when I am celebrating my solitude; in a room that is empty, your portrait is the only rest to my languid eyes, a shine to my gloomy vision that is restricted to seeing only the dark that has long captured it with its dominance. The kind of peace my soul craves is a variable that exists within the enchanting round face your body carries, the eyes that sparkle so brightly like the stars in the sky, and the hair, so soft as when caressing the fingers; it radiates a soothingness that my body has long forgotten to admire. You, your image, and your invisible presence are my dearest friends in a time when I am alone, and I will keep making comfort with your memory till my breath reaches the other side of the universe. ~ Zara

The nights like these, where you gaze at the stars: the bright, shiny stars, under the dark sky with their reflections and gleaming sparkles. You gaze at them to the extent that they begin aligning according to you, where they start talking to you, sending the signals you have always waited for. After all, they are the witnesses of all your sorrows, the griefs, and the unsaid words that have remained tugged inside your very soul like a knife, cutting it internally with such brutality that it rendered you nowhere. They have witnessed how you have never come across a moment where you could have opened yourself to breathe.  These stars, accompanying the moon, are the companions of your loneliness that has never been seen by the world, the alphabets that never got aligned in front of the external world, the memories that tarnished you from inside but kept playing in front of your eyes till you surrendered yourself to their fate. The silent heavens above are the companions which the wor...

Destiny never works as a wish-granting factory; the more you tilt towards something, the heavier you feel inside, as longing leads to the fear of losing it. Acceptance provides what calmness demands; letting go is never easy, making peace with harsh truths is always intricate, and ascending to desires is never as simple as it seems. ~ Zara

You existed in me longer than you ever did beside me. ~ Zara As his image appears, something inside me ignites; the world seems to pause, like moonlight suddenly spilling over the earth, soft and silver, and everything grows still just to witness his rare breath. Few images on this earth are rare enough to spill silver into the soul, and yours is the one that lingers in mine. ~ Zara Loneliness is not empty; it is filled with you. ~ Zara

Chasing Horizons It's a phase, that I chase, I know, it will dismantle me, But I let my dreams be disgraced,  by hopping on in the reckless race. I know, this path won't take me to the place I crave, Yet I engrave these maps in my craze. ~ Zara Though the insecurities in love are in elevation For the sake of holding onto each other a little more, permanent uncertainties turn into temporary elation. ~Zara

It’s a dream that I walk behind, an inclination that I accompany, That has knocked me down, unreservedly. This is the life I am entitled to. This is the affair I landed in. that has deserted me, as if I were destined to. ~ Zara My imperfections have escorted me to afflictions, though the scars all over me are badges of survival, etchings of battles fought silently, whispers of strength the world will never see, yet each one has shaped the soul that now endures. ~ Zara

Embedded In The Heart It felt to her like it was the voice of her heart being produced through someone else. Who is he so ingrained in his heart, his soul's secret, and interpreter of his desires? How is he abreast of my emotions and sensations? All of a sudden she began to move over the voice that dominated her unconsciousness. She yearned to gaze at that personality, which had entrenched itself intensely in her heart. Who is he? How is he in looks? As she was intertwined in these thoughts, she sensed that the presenter had read her heart and mind and was advising her over the accomplishment of unique desire taking place in her heart.    ~Zara

  Night’s Reckoning Night is the only time which replays all the memories, guilts, sins, and beautiful moments and especially makes you think about the people or things you no longer want to remember. It is the worst of the best. It is the slayer of the feelings. It is the killer of the good, and it is the defeat of the soul. This dark night is an undoing of our strength and a failure to our solid core... It is the most dangerous of all. ~Zara

When the Waves of Us Rise You know lights dim, and it would happen to us too. Everything in this world is temporary, and our things are temporary too, but that does not make our beautiful memories any less meaningful. When the days were jolly, you were with me. In the warm days of mine, when you accompanied me, we celebrated our most pleasurable and joyful times together and shared endless conversations. Now, letting you go is extremely difficult and painful, yet I will never be ashamed to say that my soul will hold you forever. I truly believe that life is a journey and not a destination; the goal is not to rush to the finish line but to savor each step along the way. If you ever ask me what I love about you the most, I love the way you are, the feelings you always give me, the love your heart allows me to feel, and the happiness you show I can bring. Thank you for all the moments; I do not regret a single one. Now I realize that we are probably not meant to be together. Love is that ...
