The tissues drank all the old monk


Spaces hold so much of air
Or may be
The air holds so much of space
It found itself on the side table
With two sitting silently but together
With two behind, fighting for each other
With one besides
With so little of light
And so much of thoughts

I had used all the tissues
Some lying as paperballs
Some lying as roses but torn
Some lying as boats but sinking in the old monk
Some landing on the table
As the aeroplane but empty and so much of air inside

I turn around all the gossip seems so loud
But all I hear is,
Please just sit with me
May be we were better together
May be she is the one 
May be I haven't found him
May be I won't reach anywhere
May be I have lost all but
May be a if, could fix it all 
If it came true.

All the ifs and buts were dissolving in front of me that night
But I lost my whole world 
In the torn white sheet of the tissue
Still dried but absorbing the pain in the eyes 
That I had poured in the Bacardi while drinking

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.
