MEMORABLE MEMORY

Memory is a strange thing

The more I tend to forget

Immortal it becomes

The more I recollect

Impossible it becomes

The more you want 

It to evacuated 

The more it tends 

To be congested

Believing in your(brain) courage 

I have let down my heart 

I have failed 

I want every tip of neuron 

With the soothing touch of heart 

I want every strategy of yours 

To be polished by care 

And every revenge planned 

To be turned into forgetfulness

An exception can be made -

Every memory of her's 

To be erased for treason

By the avenge of my heart 

WAITING DOWN

The story unwinds itself 

Beneath the looks of the moon

On the bridge 

Came she 

Just like the wind 

I could feel every moment 

Every single word 

Was memory for me 

Every single of her smile

Redefined the previous one

I was soaked deep 

Into the charm 

Oblivious of the fact 

She, like the wind 

Was gone 

One day

I kept waiting down 

Under the bridge 

TWO SPEECHES

THE ULTIMATE GOODBYE

Two speeches 

The head boy speech marked 

The end of a childish beginning

The farewell speech signified 

The beginning of an ultimate end 

But today, ( 13 February 2016)

It felt 

As if the tears had left the eyes 

As if the dreams had left the nights

As if the happiness faded away 

From the long smile 

As if the feather ought to fall

Even tough the resistance of wind 

It knew It will fall

We all knew this day would come 

Every piece of earth 

In the school 

Tells a vivid story 

Entangled in secrets and joy

I could bid GOODBYE to all

Except one, except her 

My heart could not take this truth 

Just as I said-

"From you, I don't depart,

Rather in you, I leave of me as a part"

PAIN NOT THE GRIEF

It is not the  grief

"Of being in the darkness"

Its the pain

"Of retreating back to darkness

Once you have seen the sunlight "

That kills you

I could have stayed down there

For yet another month

Living just like the

Moments of past two years

I resisted every blow down here

This could have been just another

If you wouldn't have

Shown me the sunshine above

Shown me those dreams 

Its a lot painful when 

The dreams are broken 

Than the grief of never having one!

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 ! 

WHAT'S WHAT?

What is inspiration ?

The moment 

You stretch your arms 

Inspired and assured

That you can touch the sky 

That's inspiration!

What's winning?

When the defeat 

After being defeated 

Is proud to be the defeated

That's winning!

What's life?

The sheer reverberation

Of your life 

After you have lived 

That on your death 

They proudly recall your birth

That's life!

What's happiness

That you have sadness your roommate 

In a room of loneliness

In a house of depression

And still your smile never fades away

That's happiness!

JUST NOT ME

She smiled 

Meaning every essence of it

Beside her, was another smile 

She cried out 

Pleading to god 

There was shoulder 

To rest on 

Her eyes shone bright 

And winked at someone 

There was another who winked back 

Breaking the shackles of friendship 

I dared to 

Initiate hopes on her 

But all my hopes 

Drained down my blood 

As soon as I realized 

That smile,

That shoulder, 

Those eyes were not mine 

And hiding the fact from my heart

I backed my tears 

Instead of smile  

That lodged on my shoulders

That lingered upon my eyes.
