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 cherished.

A friendship undying.

LIVING MANY LIVES IN ONE

There comes a time of isolation, When that is the only lead to satisfaction. The peace addictive, Yet the silence sometimes painful. An endeavor for contemplation seems inevitable, You look for a savior, Maybe in a friend, Or happiness in an object, Nothing really captivates you. A doubt starts to build, Languidly strangles you, Chokes you. Having a foot in each boat, Never reaching a destination however close. You reach out for guidance, Distraction from the self- distrust. And this is how you apprehend life. The proof lies in interpreting the lives around you, Those lives engraved in the pages, The paperbacks that calm your anxiety. It is that which contributes to contentment, The books, the experiences, Living many lives within one.

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...

STAND OUT

Starting out without a grading system, We were children and oh so happy, Rejoiced every moment, it’s form so pure. Being taught knowledge is power, But never did we know what awaits. What if between the pages of life, There was written “As You Wish”? We were not meant to become a leaf on a tree,  But meant to be unique, Meant to be that strange fruit, The one only curiosity can find. We were not meant to reach the sky, That’s where we were to start. Infinity and beyond, Creating ladders with choices unrestricted. We were not meant to fall in like sheep, We were meant to be the brightest star. Creating craters, Touching everything. Being the jack of all and master of none, That wasn’t for us. We were meant to master all. So hold up, think, Would you like to explore endlessly?
