The veil without the dress again!

Knowing him for the first time, the thrill would have manifolded and so would have the pain. And what happens when two adults consciously make a mistake of giving it a chance the next time too, only this time with much greater intensity and grit to make it happen for good. Guess when we only think of things from one (couples') perspective, Indian families happen. And these days, another addition to the ruler is married peers. Probable reasons of their change of heart when they might have been come from the same struggle and possibly won or lost. Or the one reason that has higher probability, they want their single buddies to just get married to their deprived choices. Whatever the reason be, it's quite insensitive on the same generation to leave apart empathize, but put their views so strongly in between the struggle. And so the most silent and private bonds only triumph. The feeling of love be so strong that it does not affect or get infected by external manifestation. And when it does, it often are the basic 'expectations' that were considered for granted all along. Both the ends need to give slight slag to the thread, for a highly pulled wire will definitely break before the city sees the first glimpse of light. Moral of a serious love story gone south, let the guy put a ring on it before the girl thinks of convincing the family which is often a difficult proposition. 

Scarred or Rescued

Has it been a lie throughout, 
Or the sky has faded away again. 
Have we forgotten our paths, 
Knowing when to drift and yet, 
He resisted the very next weak moment. 

Is it the fear of him coming in life,
Walking over the wounds that were still raw. 
They say he's caring and he's never backed out.
But the thought still hovers. 
Tide or shore, what does he bring along. 

Just believe in his belief with an open heart.
They say but I won't succumb this time, 
Shadows are fading for once, 
Truth or lie, the brightest star is with me tonight. 

Draw the line

An unusual day at workplace,
Hard to sit with so much toxin within.
Vulnerable to every emotion around,
But blind to someone close getting hurt throughout.

Balancing work and pleasure on the same plate,
Losing the sense of who is an ally or a foe.
And when the shadow beside asked,
Was that the truth, or you fell for the guy.
I had no reply. How to draw the line!

Setting boundaries, sorting it out.
Distances that creep in knowing it's your fault.
"Suck it up" and face the crowd,
Curtains are falling down, learn the dance or escape in the dark.

Coping with some bonds doesn't come easy,
Listen before you speak makes it count.
Shadows take away the sunlight that blinded,
Stick by them or they'll fade out.

A memorable day

The day that will go down the memory lane.
As cashless, card-less and more than anything homeless.
In a city which was dear to me and I could call it home.
Today gives me jitters to breathe freely.
Came with a purpose this time.
But survival is becoming questionable today.
I don't know what tomorrow holds for me.
But the real meaning of living by the day.
Is happening right in front of me.
Today. Just teach no more lessons.
And no more surprises please.
I'm sorry if I made some damaging mistakes.
But spare me this pain post tonight.
Hoping it to be a good night.

Know not beyond the truth

Know not the endless, 

nothing beyond the bare eye's reach. 

Hold nothing that strong, 

When you lose grip, the hand bleeds. 

Closed box, popping out the same surprise. 

Went too far again this time. 

And the feelings don't seem to excite. 

It's a deep dark hollow tunnel inside. 

In pursuit of another journey

A seed, a bud.. this time was a rotten fruit. 
Sometime places pluck you out of your grassroots. 
And this one just did that right. 

Road is often rough, life is no less broken. 
You and me met on the sharpest bend. 
And that filled the trenches in the ocean. 
It echoes now "Never lose faith in your heart."

Journey was short, but captured a bouquet of emotions. 
More than our professors, I learnt more from you in person. 
And now when we move beyond from our daily togetherness. 
I'll rejoice this journey when wishing you a bon voyage. 

Know him more than self!

The actions once initiated, always reach their momentum.
I want to tell you tonight, you came with an ultimatum.
This thought today, might fade away with time.
Knowing you inside out will never be a surprise.

Things that elated us will always be a reason to reminisce.
Each journey would remind of the strings unattached.
Knowing a gem like you can never be an easy task.
When distances peep in, a new story unfolds.

Every bit of truth and the hope of lies.
We'll find our life paths again.
As for this moment, break not the silences.
The care and trust shall prevail through.
