The Moon drank the coconut water


That night between drinks and tissues
That night between silence and gossips
That night between flirting and talking
That night between water and dry eyes
I met someone.

I have been talking to this person
Since quite a long time
But that day, I found a bit of me inside her
Strong enough to hold the tear
But, wanting a hand to wipe it off
Incase it rolls of the pupils

You don't know her
But talking to her is more easy then to your friend
She feels home
Not with the concretes
But she has all the stories
The broken pieces
The mended heart
The fears, you fail to breathe through
The experiences, that are more of fun 
Than the choas you struggle with everyday

My coconut water!
But the shell that she carries isn't tough
Which needs a hard hit, to be broken
And let the soft core visible to all
Instead, Listen to her
Ask her about the night,
She didn't sleep
About the day,
That she missed by sleeping for just a couple of minutes by the sun

It's strange
They find the shy tough to handle
And 
Find the caring for the strong, of least importance

I often stare at the moon
Asking for answers
But I forgot
That the human beside me is silent with the answers
How can that black stone answer them
She has been listening to my shits
But I love her more for being so true to herself
Not trying to explain the versions she lives,
To the rest.
She is the night sky holding the moon

Apparently my moon is not the black stone
She is the coder in a distant home

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...
