The fish on the land


I sigh
He smiles
I focus on the words in my ear
And the one on his lips
They sync with the notes in my thoughts
He passes across me
And my eyes gaze on the road
Short but deep
Narrow but holding so much
Few red fabrics
Few window shopped heels and songs
Few bald heads and few shades other than black
Few racing with the leaves on the road
Few trying to compete with the pace of the snail
And I manage to find you
Few things never get lost

As in the habit of writing
I open my dairy
And pledge to write all beyond you
Those silent lips seem more beautiful than the choas in the head
He looks more hot in the payjamas than the loose denims and slim fit legs
Their fights are more adorable than ours
They fight for existence
And reasons why we fight, we ourselves are dumb to it.
I try to pen about the roll in my hand
But the mayonnaise drips of it
Writting for itself
Unable to ink any bit of it
In rhymes and Shakespeare words
I close the dairy
Pluck the Daisy along my side
And try to sketch it's borders,lines and life

Not always should love be subjected to seperation
But I pluck the daisy to find my smile
But I pluck it to ask it to live it's death along my life
And I ask him to leave for me to breathe
And for a happy ending of a story that has no start

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...

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

I am stupid with love

The ceiling  The fan The curtains The door The windows All are still With the silent Breeze making its way into the room Like the thoughts in my head I can hear the ticking of the clock  The heart knocks against my chest Sometimes even the a sound of my eye lids flickering  On the thoughts that are non stop I cry to myself in the head  "Nobody loves me." Before I throw another tantrum  My head replies Your family loves you. And i suspend that answer  Thinking of  A friend i have known since 10 years now A friend who can read my thoughts through the phone screen Just by knowing me through a year A boy whom I had met years ago  I don't even remember the length of his smile Of the shape of his head or the position or the color of his hair But I think of that boy When I say nobody loves me. Now the irony is  None of the three people  Like to express love in words  Or in loud gestures And i crave for words  But if they tell those wo...
