The bokeh shines


The bokeh shines fall on to his shirt
It was when he smiled out of the morning blue
Sipping the coffee he realized,
It was good to have her there.
There, not on the front chair facing her
But the place where bokeh light were shinning
On his sleeves
On the left of his chest
Near his heart

The wide smile was playing hide and seek
He knew after a couple of hours she would be gone
Gone, may be forever
Or may be for until their next coincidental face off
But bidding a good bye is so not welcomed by him
He loves people staying, without being asked to
He falls shot of words to ask people to stay

Trying to have more of her
He kept quite to hear off her
Talking
Smiling
Getting pissed off
Shying
Humming
And with also a few blank thoughts
Was she sitting there right in the front

He wasn't inhaling oxygen for this moment
He wasn't exhaling the carbon dioxide
It was suffocating to see her go
So he was gasping the most of her
It's was fine to suffocate with lack of oxygen
But not with her absence

And he earned his moment when the kid accidentally pushed her on to him
On his sleeves
On the left of his chest
Near his heart

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

Normal problems please !

  I miss the normal problems I miss mom scolding me for being late from work I miss being stuck in traffic when out for office I miss being out with my friend and then planning another outing I miss the gossips at the coffee shops I miss the crowd at McDonald's I miss waiting for my chance in the queue of burger King I miss seeing the teenage girls in sarees for farewell in college waiting the bus and the train I miss seeing the boys trying to fix the loose tie standing by their crush I miss seeing dad care free about us being out of home I miss the normal problems The news of people dying is suffocating The news of all the chance for this virus vanishing is nowhere They talk of precautions  Now each day seems a achivement Now each but of oxygen seems a reward Now washing hands seems the only hygienic essential Now being around your loved once seems so terrifying You can't touch them  You can't hug them You can't even wipe their fear tears You can just stand their prayi...

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.
