Couple of the day !

Fly...
Fly not...
Believe...
Believe me not...

Love...
Love me not...
Trust...
Trust me not...
Hear me...
Hear me not...
Just stand still...
And sway my mind...
Rest...
Will just happen

Fragile...

The delicate thread

The thread...
that holds you on one end...
and me on the other!
And I see us...
Walking in separate worlds--
Having different aims--
Living different lives--
Yet I hold on to the hope--
that your existence assures!
I prefer silence,
the route
that connects me to you!

You walk there,
I here…
and yet we take the same steps--
You are alone there,
and I am here,
and yet we crib about the same emptiness---

I leave it untouched--
like we are dried leaves of the Fall...
and will wither if touched...
It's a joy to see us,
on the ground--
picked up by different people--
kept in their notebooks--
and we release the same fragrance...
the same marks on the lined pages!
and that's what we are for---
for we  give selflessly--
and when it's all taken,
it's hard to hold on to what is left--
the reason why --
when I am fragile--
I look up at the other end of the thread...
that you've held--
Seeing me
in your eyes...

If dream's a dream...

A dreamcatcher!

 

So if dream's a dream...

it stays in the confines of our hearts....

what nurtures it..

what makes it grow...

is it the enormity of the desire...

or the willingness of the will...

because if you see it...

even with eyes wide open...

it is just out there...

hidden in the micro space..

of your life!

Last night...this day

Last night!

The night we never fell asleep..
We were not judgemental...
But keen to witness,

The chain of events...


To sit under the blanket of stars...
And admire little things...
That still make us happy...
To watch the planes take off...
And be enthralled by the advancements...
To hear and talk...
Of things which our mean lives never let us do....

Last night was a sleepless one...
We wanted to witness the horizon...
Walking amidst the mad city...
Which looked really beautiful without the hustle and bustle!
Everything at ease....

And I recorded the memories...
My blinking my eyes...
Not intending to let it go!

Doors!

Everytime I open one...
I am keen to move ahead...
For I am wandering lost...

To locate a pattern!

In a quest...
To find answers...
Opening some is finding bliss...
While some I have locked forever,
And thrown the keys away!

Yet, I move ahead...
To find the unsaid truth...
To solve the unsolved puzzles...
To face destiny!

Sock Wallet

The little sock wallet...

I hold close to my heart...

People come and go...

Make me happy..

Some disappoint...

But a handful few..

Have always been there...

In times...

Good and worst...

I hold on...

To them...

Now and forever...

that PHASE!

That phase...
when you are happy...
with what you have-

 What is lost--
you do not look behind.

What is in front...

You cherish it--
You love it--
You welcome it..
with open hands---

You change...
but you love the new changes...
You accept--
that everyday..
cannot be yours...
but its on you...
to make the most of it...
