Plastic

It's too plastic round here...the stench of it burning...the sound of it rustling...moving too fast for me to even glimpse...and when I do...its but a burnt out mammoth of plastic...nightmarish...I need to sit by my lake...I can't stand it anymore.

There will be a time..

There will be a time when the tears will be no more
A time when love looks like a miracle
That will never happen to you
It will be a distant tale of
"someone lived happily ever after" and not me
Yet you will believe in this miracle
And smile when you see people holding hands
There will be this time when it doesn't really matter
You would have come to terms with life
And to get here
You would have embraced it, hated it and ridiculed it
You would have fallen and picked yourself up
More often than you can even remember
There will be a time when there will be this peace
That you would have longed for so long
Run after it
Searched for in other people
Never knowing that one day you would just find it within
And this will be the time
When you will look at the memories you etched
Acted like a fool sometimes
Cried endlessly for days and nights
Yearned for things never to happen
You will remember
Fleeting moments of happiness
Running between your fingers
Submerging into time
The faces
The people
The love
The hurt
The pain
It was never meant to be a happy road anyway
How often do people get to stand at this moment
Looking at the setting sun
And still smile at it...Mystified by this life...and the most beautiful gift it gives...Love.


Maiiya ( I will always be that)

Between illusions and reality

A deep breath of the fresh green air
The dripping water from the washed leaves
Yearning to dissolve in the water below
The muddy lane darkened and clean
As I walk on
The same place I saw you
A hundred days back
Or maybe more
I kind of lost count
Replaying the scene over and over my head
Passing the place again today
Wishing that time froze right when you were there
But maybe it did
My smiles tell it all
You are like the rain
Cleansing the sad feeling
Bringing in promises of calm and peace
If it is never again to happen
I'll exist
You'll exist
Somehow this heart
Is pacified with just this..
For it means
You walk somewhere
Oblivious about me
I walk here
But the moment we had then is eternal
Maybe it is bliss
Or maybe its just called love
Pure and serene.

Love is a practical joke played by people on each other

It’s not about fairy tales and happy ends
It’s more about wants and needs
A fine demarcation you’d say
But the difference is real deep
If the question sounds familiar?
Try this-
Emotional attachment and dependency?
Same
My answer too
But na....
It’s a game
That the devils incarnate plays
Not love
Uh oh you are too emotional for this
Love is reserved
For the Elite
They can feign it
Wear it
Tear it
You just stick on to the rules and you’ll do well
Real well
For human is not the word
The word is the game
Love is a practical joke played by people on each other.

Sunsets

Enormous turmoil in the heart
Unnecessary rumblings in the head
Unwillingness to accept reality
And reality is I am alone
Something that cannot even be changed by supernatural
It’s just that way
Meant to be
And I have nothing to do
But bow down to this very Reality and accept
Someone just rightly said
There are two things in life
One is something that you can do something about
And the other is something that you can do nothing about
And you should leave the ones that you can do nothing about
To sort out by themselves
There is one thing that is still there
The wonderful sunsets
Calming the rising storms
Promising a new day ahead.

Conversations in my head...between me and ME...

Life goes a full circle
Mostly a repetition
Only the roles have changed
First it was you
Now its me
Saying I love you
But failing to define it
Asking questions
Maybe...it's not?
Or Maybe it is?
Or is it just a major obsession to fill in the empty seat beside me
Nod and smile to the passerby..
Proud of a prize I won
So its a prize?
Or a person, a God sent gift or a reflection of my soul?
But that's all theory
Practicality says
No staying alone
Impossible to survive
But some have...
Again I compare
No no...its my life
No comparisons
Every second unique...including me
But wasn't that the jargon the self help courses teach
First it was you
Now I am depressing for you
You say my home is depressing too
Five days and I haven't eaten proper
And the place I stay ( I call it that way for its just walls and windows)
Is but filled with things strewn around..
I just wanted the feel of chaos..
Sounds intellectual or something
More like a chaos theory...
But its just a covered up story I tell myself
The fact is..
I am broken
So is the place
I am packing my bags to leave....
The question is
Should I lock up the sadness
And throw it on the way
I wish things were that way
But it's not
Logic doesn't work here
See
I am standing right where you used to be.
I just could not subtract you
Or add up new feelings in me
All that happened is..feelings built
But now its too late
You are standing right where I used to be.

Love at first sight

This months blog totally dedicated to falling in love...

Have you ever met a person on the way...who looked at you and you felt like you've known him or her for a long long time and you know its not just you who felt that way, you can see it in their eyes too..dedicating this poem to such moments and strangers whom we may never meet again..but that moment which would be treasured as one eternal bonding existing beyond space and time....

LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT...

A rustle of the leaves
A crowded lane
How do your eyes find mine
and mine find yours
What is it that makes us connect
Like a calling
Not an urge
But a peaceful melody
A tune played by souls
For undefinable eternity
A few moments for you to walk past by me
Yet a million unspoken words
A familiar feeling of peace
Where everything goes to a standstill
And the only thing that exists is a reflection of me
Here names cease to exist
And so do identities
The only thing that exists is the moment
crafted in time
Tomorrow you may never walk the same lane
Tomorrow I may never see you again
But the depth of eternity in that moment held
Is enough to know
That love is alive at my end.
