Life

Life was becoming rough,
Everyday had become tough,
It seemed I had lost it all,
And happiness had taken a fall,
Lived a dream for many years,
And then it left me in tears,
I was left with no hope,
Every moment was difficult to cope,
But now it is the end of that phase,
Now only happiness is what I chase,
Doing what I love to do the best,
Enough time to play, Enough to rest,
Bike Rides & Night Out,
Outstation trips without a doubt,
Weekend Mornings for a game of Cricket,
Evening time with a movie ticket,
Meeting friends all old & New,
Staying up until the morning Dew,
All these things I had missed a lot,
A few good lessons that life has taught,
Life has its own Ups & Downs,
Sometimes u laugh & Sometimes u frown,
It’s no good reason to live in the pasts,
Live your life till the time it lasts!

In You In Me!

They are just scribbling on paper sometimes..

Sometimes they are neatly typed..

They are like a breeze in summer time..

I write when I feel like..

I will never be sure when inspiration will visit me!

My words are not that awesome..

They will not make you fall in love..

My words are not revolutionary..

They will not make you change the world..

My words are not healing..

They will not bring peace to you..

But my words are definitely honest..

They are a part of me..

And when you read them sweetheart..

I will be part of thee!

 

 

Apocalypse..

Darkness engulfed her, There was no hope of light..

Days passed, then months, then years, But nothing seemed to be right.

Seasons change they say, And night turns into day..

Autumn turned into spring, And sun was shining on the hay.

She turned towards the sun, And it glowed on her face..

She soaked the brightness, There was no hurry, no race.

Gleaming with happiness, Brimming with Joy..

Astounded by the change, She felt a bit coy.

Scared she was, for seasons would change..

Sun promised not to leave & turned a bit orange.

Both were happy, Both comforted..

They would be together & not deserted.

Little did they knew of the looming eclipse..

The sun turned away at the first glimpse,

For her it was doom, an apocalyse.

 

 

Love in the time of Monsoon!

 

The tear drops spilled out of the almond eyes,

The scorching heat dried them up.

Still the stain on the cheeks betrayed her lies,

The mascara streaks couldn’t cover them up.

She longed for the monsoon & the heavenly rains,

The rains which would not be like the flowing stream,

The rains which would pour like a glowing dream.

These rains would let her cry & hide her tears,

These rains would drench her dreams & her fears.

And then the day arrived which would fulfill her wish,

The clouds burst, frogs croaked & peacocks spread their feathers,

The trees waved & earth with its green cloak looked quite a dish.

She got drenched to the core & cried with the rains,

And didn’t notice him watching her quietly behind the curtains.

Her tears soaked something inside of him,

He went & hugged her on a whim.

He turned out to be her knight in shining armour,

And she his muse, his princess & his amour!!!

 

It is Time!

It is time to break free from the womb of your comfort zone..

It is time to forget your past..

It is time to not to think of future..

It is time to live in the present..

To savour new taste, take in new smells,

To feel new emotions, sense new touches,

To see new sights..

To walk in the new world with baby steps till you are able to fly..

It is time to be that child again..

Nostalgia..

 

Walking & Talking, Walking & Talking till we reached the end of road…

Interesting conversations sometimes, sometimes you just croaked like a toad..

The greens smiled with us, The blues just envied..

I would play pranks while you got livid..

The rain showers drenched us but your love drenched me more..

Seeing you with some one else was just an eye sore..

Every moment spent with you was Utopia..

Now I am left with just nostalgia!

 

Material Girl???

Chandelier Earrings dangled,
Where once sweet  nothings tingled..
Kohl filled eyes hid the sadness of the byes..
Lip Gloss shined leaving the memories of wet kisses behind..
Who missed the warm hug?
She had this jacket cosy & snug..
True there was no walking hand in hand,
She had fancy boots where once there was sand..
In the eyes of the world,
She was a Material Girl..
But she knew in her heart,
She was really a Lonely Girl!
