Pretending love

Let’s just pretend to be, the guitar and the strings,

Getting tuned with love and musings. 

I in love am a waterfall of art,

drawn with the affection of the heart.

Bluffing to be amused with your colour of desire,

Temptation of resemblance got me on fire.

Searching him on every essence of yours,

Why am I in love with the sanity, not you?

Your pictures I adore along with the sentiments hidden,

Is there anything in between, or am I just pretending love?

-Riya Shah

Souls follow

We try to love the ones we think

are made for us, till the time wrinkles come,

we think they’ll grow with us!

Hands we think will forever touch and forgive,

the bruises while searching.

I believe souls follows when the days go by,

in the air, there is a constant aroma

that stays, which is forever kind.

-Riya Shah
