Checked!


Entering the shop
She hadn't planned to see him
The place was full of busy bees, humming.
But that day something different happened
For the first time instead of looking for cold shoulder tops & finding stripped tops,

She was looking at the boy trying the check shirt
No , don't get those thoughts
She was imagining him
How will that shirt dance along his shoulder

Passing that brand lane
She saw shades of checks
Picking one dropping another
She was busy thinking how adoring will he look in that shade but then
She had just seen him in solids with soft smile

And then she just dropped the final shirt hanging and gripped by her fingers down
As she knew she was trying to grip on to a stranger

 Stranger ,
Besides his name
Besides his face 
Besides his smile 
She knew nothing of him

She often saw him along his people
She often saw him with his monitor

Never had she planned to exchange talks to be friends
Hence she just passed another lane of checks

Until she meets him again
Rather sees him again to remember him
How much she knows 
Rather learn another bit of him

That notification

When I received your message today  I was on my way to office, I smiled to your text but missed to reply Today when my phone buzzed with you name with a message underneath  I peeped at it and missed to reply, again! The other day when I received your message, I was out with a friend so I kept it on unread to reply later But I slept  And days followed  Your name kept shining everyday I kept going without replying to them on time or even not But you stayed  So the other day when I didn’t see your name in the notification bar  I missed you, only to realise I missed to live the moment of the words that you shared  The moments you remembered and I failed to live it again because I was just lost  While you stood on the door  I was just wondering here and there  Ignorant of the fact that the sun will set and it will be night soon You will close the doors  To sleep with moon outside the window

Whisper of the wind

  I often understand love in a language I don’t understand  Like falling for stranger Sometimes for their kindness  Sometimes for that smile Sometimes just for them being happy  Sometimes for their sympathy  How does falling starts for unknown  너의 이름을 불러보지만 닿을 수 없다는 걸 알고 있어 긴 밤을 꼬박 새우고 빗속으로 어느새 (새벽이 오고 있어) ( even though i call your name I know i can't reach you I spent the long night in the rain suddenly (dawn is coming) But it roots as you stay their for hours and sometimes for days  And if you happen to to stay longer It stays for lifetime  Not into your life but into your heart Sometimes a song reminders you of it On other days the checked shirt Or that gesture you noticed in the crowd of unknown people Often it’s how they behave around and with their people Gentle, calm, silently funny in the heads Mischievous smiles And a face you never thought to encounter

Fears, are real!

All the fears are real People falling  While walking While dancing While just standing still While looking at someone Failing In the exams With the expectations  Of yours  And your loved once And the strangers Growing In love Out of love Getting old With lessons With scars With open wounds  Being stuck On page for hours and weeks In life for years and years With people till the end In thoughts of your own and the others too. With a blank full of ink but still not working Many others like People giving up on you People not fighting for you You not able to find the old you You missing yourself  While you stand before the mirror With blank thoughts Like standing in a room  On your own shadow Everyday at certain hour of the day All that you fear is happening is someday We just need to breathe through it Crying, yelling, laughing or just sitting through it Or just walking past it.
