Change

A constant in life
all around you see change
You know it’s coming
but never when!

The tides of life
doesn’t stays the same
Like a river
flows to the sea…

Darkest night followed by
the starkest light
Change is the only constant!

Change is what makes a hue
and turns into a YOU…

Glitter on my face...

I am walking down the street
With glitter on my face…

It was a rainy night
With a silver light

Cold raindrops
Piercing my whole

Through the dark alleys I know not
Walking past the drunken lot

There stood you on the crossroads
Dripping waters down glittery face

The shining glitter screaming
Like stars in the dark night

Knowledge is a curse
Said wise men, once.

Knowing you was not!

I am walking…

I am walking down the street
With glitter on my face…

Hero!

After reading a book…

looking at the traits of the characters
from afar…

I lived the character from the book–

there’s a difference
in living the character.

We humans who look at everything…
perspective will be at large,

also we’ll feel there are
one too many options.

But the character’s perspective is small.
He can only see her.

In that moment,
what he feels is right for him.

From people’s perspective,
I may be a rotten apple.

But in my perspective,
what I did was right.

Usually, in a story,
hero wins at the end.

But that’s not how it is.

Whoever wins in the story
will be declared as hero.

Doesn’t matter, if they’re good or bad,
whoever wins is a hero.

I may be disgusting in my story.

Also a man who can’t get along
with the society.

I may have lost in my personal life.
In fact, I might be the bad person.

But, I won in my story…

Delusional, Disillusioned, Life on a highway!

driving on a highway without a horn,
driving on a highway without a brake,
driving on a highway without my brain
driving on a highway without my mind…

too much of beating I lost my touch
too much the drubbing I taste the dust!

losing control is easy to say
getting back alive is no one way!

I lost my senses driving on a highway
I lost my hope driving on a highway
I lost YOU driving on a highway
I lost myself driving on a highway…

chasing YOU was never my choice,
but couldn’t resist my mind’s voice!

catching up a storm is never easy
people called me nothing but whimsy…

wounded soldier can’t hold the shield
shaken mind has nothing to yield!

I got roughed up here and there
these burdens and pains I have to bear
for the choice I never made
about those li’l memories that fade!

friends’ are there but never forever,
each have their own life, to care!

friends could never turn up when in need
it’s I and only I have to up the speed!

holding my tears I had to say,
just focus back, I’ve to find my way

dead relations can comeback and haunt,
move ahead: past relations can rest in the past!

I’m standing tall, up and running…

I’m back on the highway with all my gear
I’m back on the highway with all my mind
I’m right behind YOU catching up fast!
I’m gonna make YOU a thing of PAST…

final goodbye!

I felt that it could’ve been better
if I would’ve said this to you much sooner

I know it from the beginning that
we are not going to get along well but

something inside me said it may work!
I never knew it will end up as a botch…

you were so naive and innocent
I couldn’t care for anything but your

smile, which made me go mad and feel saintly
at once; I still wonder whether you still

have the same feeling as I have, for you!
I know you had but I am not a magician

so that I can cast a spell
which can break your silence!

I forgot everything in my life
because I loved you madly

and so deeply! I never knew no pain
when you and me walked together in the rain

I needed you! is that so much to ask?
I recited nothing so much in my life than you!

those haunting forgotten things never
disturbed me so much than your ignorance!

‘ignorance is bliss’ my dear said a friend
but I only know they wouldn’t understand

what it is to feel like when left stranded
alone on a highway blindfolded…

so much hype so much fuzz, I am sorry that
I couldn’t live up to your expectations.

you and me! sounded good for the future; now
it only looks like a thing of the past!

you were too much onto me that I forgot my name at times
so I ain’t feeling odd now that you too forgot the same!

they say, ‘once forgotten twice removed’
that may be true for you on every count!

I have nothing much to say than, ‘you don’t just stop
loving someone, either you never did or you always will’.

from the good times to the bad times
I cherished the memories we have had together

I realized it rather late that living in memories
doesn’t leads you nowhere!

saying no was not always has been my strong suit!
but I think now I should call it quits

I have missed so many things in my life but I will never
miss them as much as I am gonna miss you ever!

you would be the happier of the two I know
wish you may get better love than I could ever show

even though I am singing this final good bye,
you still remain as a shadow in my hollowed mind…

funny though I am sending this to you on Women’s day!!!
