Undoing Your Ineffability

How can you unlove him?
You only think you can,
You think your mind
is stronger than your heart,
but his memory lives there too.

How can you deny
what you feel
when you look at his face.
When your words
would break him?
When you take his hope?

How do you unlove someone
who has given theirself to you,
whole heartedly?

How do you untwine your life
untangle your thoughts,
when you think of him
so consistantly?

How will you unwrite him,
unmemorize the way his face looks,
unrejoice his past touches,
when it is all you can do
just to lie to yourself
and buy another day
and a little more distance
hoping no one will see through it.

गरिमा क्या शानदार शुरुआत दी How can you unlove him? जैसे किसी जेट ने उड़ान भरी हो और आगे अपने ही भाव में एक मदमाती नदी की तरह अपना रास्ता खुद बनाती है, इतनी सरल सहज और पाक रचना की दिल खुश हो गया ! कई बार मुझे बिम्ब अच्छे लगते हैं पर सरल होना ही सबसे कठिन होता है. बेहद प्यारी कविता मुझे इस कविता से प्यार हो गया है अगर अनुमति हो तो मेरे ब्लॉग पर लगा दूं .
