THE PURPOSE OF THE JOURNEY

Life is a maze, one with a time limit.
Everything you want to do,
It all has an expiry.
The merry is just delusional.
The journey as quest as the purpose.
Here we grasp the value of someone,
How luminous when found,
Yet so delirious when not.
Hollows me out this feeling,
Not knowing what the answer could be.
Maybe that’s the complication of the maze,
Or as I had feared,
Love is a riddle,
Too intricate to bear through agony.
Perhaps for her, it’s not me,
The jigsaw so elaborate that giving up seems easier,
‘cause everything that already materialized,
Was is it a lapse? Please say yes to this at least.
I need an escape from this,
Am I worthy only of this cold ignorance?
Or is another fantasy in store for me?
So on my death bed,

Will you be here or there?

A CONVERSATION

Sitting on the window seat of an aircraft, She said my poems are nice. This coming from her, I felt ecstatic. It had been a while since we talked, Thought this was a good ice-breaker. A conversation began. It all took me almost a year back, When we used to share our daily routines, Which is why now we don’t talk often. There was no suspense anymore, No will to know more. It had become boring. But not that day, Although she seemed to be sleepy, My eyes too were red, Reasons plenty to list down, But we still carried on, ‘Cause it was a nice feeling. 2 hours went by and she slept off at last. Looking at her, So peaceful and sweet, Even after all that had happened last night, Gave me courage. Recalled, when she was all I wanted, Only to realize, I always had her but, Stretching it way too far. The distance made me stronger, Helped me overcome. Now being happy for what we have, It could have gone worse, ruining what we cherishe...

DEATH

When one thinks about death, is it the pain, the mercy? Do you perceive it as a burden, a magical negativity, or are you the one to put up with all the sadness and either grieve or stay ice cold? The cycle of life becomes quite foggy at certain intervals. Choices you make become imprinted beside your name forever, as it is with death. The first thoughts that cross one’s mind is the perception that he/she possess of the concept of death. Some may think of it as the end of an era with someone of extreme importance departing from their lives. It could be perceived as a responsibility that they must step up to. A few may believe that it could be encumbrance throughout their foreseeable future. There are opinions that display the cold heart and the darkness that clouds the conscience of some people, who think that death is a rather good process as it helps eliminate. There stands a belief that birth is the first step to a journey called life to reach a destination which names itse...

TRANSITION

That tingling sensation, The uncanny intuition, Those unbelievable thoughts forthcoming, Creeping me up with goose-bumps, Started to doubt my own beliefs. It kills me from within, Makes me feel vacant. After endless transitions, I thought at last; This is home for few years. I could have genuine friends, Not just virtual connections. A neighborhood that I would remember. But how foolish, Hiding the truth behind elation. I was just too adrift, Unaware of the phony faces, And innocent to pretense. I don’t know where I belong. The lonely nights a habit, What bothered me was the light. At what point do I stop, Do I say “It’s too much”. When do I get a breather? I used to be my own armor, But not now, I left myself open, vulnerable, Making a mistake. The warmer nature was what I expected, But all I got was the heartless, cold wind. In a room full of my things, The horror of emptiness consumed me. Now the past haunts me again, ...
