Years drift by

-

 Evening skies and butterflies

Sinking ships and money heists

No more masks with devil eyes

Stranger things turning the zeitgeist


A year has gone into the past

count your blessings if it seemed fast

because you were busy or in coma

even if its' latter still count them


Can past help? can it solve

Can we learn and evolve?

Wiser men have pondered

and the verdict is out

I have nothing more to add but just to shout

Without memories there is no past

A transient state that will ever last

One CraZy Night

One Crazy Night One night at a friend’s house Four friends, one TV, inside a room With their stomachs filled, there was no space So lazy, even shoes were removed without untying the lace As soon as they entered, they locked the room from inside Soon did they realize only three were in, one left outside So, they had to open and let him in He entered giving furious looks, as if others had committed great sin Changed to night dress, all wanted to sleep Just then one of the friend’s cell phone gave a beep Curious were the other three, guessing who could be at this hour ?

Birthday Bumps

Birthday bumps It is 12 pm at the night but you are still awake. You are frequently glancing at your cell phone screen waiting for a call. It’s your Birthday and you eagerly wait for a call from a special person probably your beloved. Sometimes you even won’t receive few calls because you really want that first call to be of your beloved (if he/she does exist). Any way you get your first wishes you are happy and you just can’t hide that smile on your face.   All is well, you feel you are the hero of the day and then as you get back to your room you already know that your friends have planned a surprise for you. So you walk in suppressing that big smile. The lights are off, as you enter inside, your friends shout “Happy Birthday” the lights come on and there is verve in the air. They show you the Big Chocolate cake with your nick name on it and you just can’t resist yourself from the temptation to cut and take a big bite of it. You have the knife and you slowly proceed to cut...

DELOCATED

DELOCATED Away from home in a new place Lost in the crowd that has no face Strange is life, strange are its ways Hidden behind clouds are lost my sun rays Purpose of my life is still unknown Within me echoes my own moan Walking on path, don’t know where it goes Surrounded by darkness & eerie echoes Lagging behind, losing my grip Awake I stay haunted by sleep Nothing goes right when you are wrong Feeling the wait is now too long My loved ones are far, far away Reminded by their memories night & day Missing those friends & missing those joys I listen to their voices with tears in eyes I find myself lost in this race Adding myself even more disgrace Failing to know what I want to do The time has come for me to make my move Struck in a place with fewer chances to escapes Surrounded by dangers like shadows taking all shapes But I know that no matter what, I have to move on The struggle had already begun when I was jus...
