WORTH THE WAIT!

When the steps slow down 

And the heart beats faster 

When the lights fade out 

And movements clear in dim 

When the dreams awake

And the unending roads begin

When the shadows 

Leave us all alone 

I will hold on tight 

Whisper the secrets into your heart

You ruled on every moment 

And it all added till today

But this moment was worth the wait 

To sit back 

Fill myself with the realization

That the cause of her best smile 

Was ME!

LOOSEN STRINGS

The whole city 

Tied with loosen strings 

On this festival 

Unknowing who is on the other end 

It just mattered until 

There was a string 

But life

Posed a different situation for me

It  didn't matter to me 

What bond of string I shared 

Whether of friendship, care 

Or even enmity

Until I am assured

On the other 

She is holding my string  

AN OUNCE OF ME

She requested 

An ounce of me 

And I most 

Graciously offered her

Blindfolded by virtuality

And unable to see

Behind the curtains of beauty

She deceived me in thin air 

And I lay shocked 

Every bit of me 

Every piece of that ounce

Which was gone was painful

But i justified 

My happiness with a forced smile 

Convincing him that 

"I am feeling better than before"

But the truth 

Being drastically different 

I couldn't breathe without it

Because when 

The evident realization 

Dawned on me 

She had not taken an ounce 

I was left only an OUNCE!!

TRYST WITH FRIENDSHIP

In the sheer complexity 

Of the tests of friendship

We tend to forget 

The simplest of solutions

Let your friendship float 

Above the surface

Don't allow it to sink

Down to grave secrets 

Of each other 

It reveals poison 

And sooner your friendship

Longs for sunlight 

Longs for love

Down in the trenches under the sea

Truth is the pinch 

Of reality, of justice

Which will shatter your weak friendship

And test its authenticity

But if it passes

There will be a hand 

Long enough,

To pull it up high 

And propel into the sky !
