You have flaws, remember everyone has

You have insecurities, remember everyone has

Embrace the reality, not everyone can

Crush your fears, not everyone can

Rise above yourself

You will have happiness

Perspective

Towards the unknown all travel

Suffering from the unhappiness malady

Consumed in the chores

Where the mind is befogged

Losing the sight of what matters

Family friends love

The littlest moments to smile

Just going by in a blink of an eye

When they get up & its again tomorrow that was yesterday

Secret Crush

Sitting amongst the audience, I heard this voice for the first time.  Suddenly, a wave of quietness ran through the hall to hear the sound of his voice, mesmerizing and mellow. It was a college event but, I couldn't recognize the face. The lyrical voice and the  beautiful face hypnotized everyone. I came to know he had joined recently in one of the departments. I wished to see him again and tell him how beautifully he sang that day. And, I did see him again few days later but, I stood dumbfounded, did not utter a single word. He looked handsome. I had several such encounters with him. Days passed, months too, and now my college days are over and he still is a complete stranger. Few days back,  I gathered guts to send him a friend request on a social site. Yes, he accepted it. Never  been able to text him though, due to the fear that he may not reply. He remains a stranger. I wish I can tell him how much I like him and perhaps, fallen for him. I wish someday he texts me and there be an exchange of words. Waiting for the miraculous day!

Oh this horrific web of complicated structures

Has put on my mind bruises and ruptures

Even did He not think

And man was ready in just a blink

But a foolish man He made

Went to know the recipe laid

The ingredients on his own he named

And then he gamed

Was a tough task for this little mind

Each name is new every time I discover and I find

Nevertheless I try harder and harder to remember

Still in a deep slumber , today January, tomorrow December.

Agitated

A deep sea, a dense forest

Turbulence and turmoil in there

Yet appear in harmony the entities nest

Only the waves I can see, the rustling leaves I can hear

They surround me and babble

Not a single word I understand

In a swarm, still alone I travel

Searching for someone whose language I could comprehend

Its been a long time on this quest

Seems it will never end & this soul will be laid at rest.

Deep Desire

On this endless journey

I walk on the road

Appeared from the mists ahead

Towards me someone strode.

Portrayed enigma

Was different and unfathomable

Yet there was something

That was adorable.

To be there by my side

For so many miles

On this not so easy way

To be the reason for thousand smiles.

I treasure all those moments

Petty arguments, silly talks 

The 'make you feel awkward' dinner dates

The 'always short of time' long walks.

Teasing you, pulling your leg

The victorious joy of quietening you

Then the unexpected turning of tables

Again looking for something new.

Forgetting things

Failed efforts to recall

Feeling embarassed

Why can't I remember it all!

Regardless of all my idiocies

You forgive, you tolerate

A person so wonderful

A friend so great.

With each step

The bond grows stronger

Heart desires and mind asks

Couldn't forever be longer?!!

Illusional Love

On the shattered glass I stand

Indifferent to myself

Don't feel the anguish, the pain

In so much distrust

Couldn't tell if it hurts

Then there's a slight sensation

On my fingers

Soon I realize someone is holding my hand

Numbness pased away and now I could feel

Healing the wounds

Melting this frozen heart

Detoxifying me

Changed the perception

For love, for life

Taught me there's more meaning to it

Love does exist

It can be selfless

It can be unconditional

It is not a dream, not a miracle

It is a blessing, it is bliss

Experiencing the wonders

I get lost in the maze

Standing on the soft grass

Now, even this 'feels' hurtful!

The Cry of Woe

They say I am brave I am strong

Do they know they are wrong?!

Shattered from the inside

Struggling each moment to hide

Swallowing on my tears

Wishing for someone to vanish my fears

Obscure future and faded memories

Lucidity clouded with worries

A pretence of indifference

Disguising my fragile emotional sense

Yearning for a wisp of light

Someday the dawn will break this night.

Next in the queue,

For the ride inevitable

The goosebumps, the emptiness

I already sense

Was it my turn yet?!

The ticket had my name

But, here I am 

Unaware of the rules of the ineluctable game..

Fear, flashbacks and rage

Flooding my mind

I wish I really had killed u

And relished in contentment

Of being honored for the noble job

I did spare you 

It turned on me

Being mocked for not doing the deed

Could have changed my world

Standing at the gunpoint

Waiting to feel my ears go deaf

Still Vengeful 

Will slay you!
