Gravity

 


We met.
Exchanged words.
Bid hi followed by bye,
Sometimes in days but usually in few minutes.
Words started filling the silence;
Sometimes meaningful enough to ponder,
But mostly just the talk of the moment.

And don't know when 
The earth's gravity found its place between the two.
Pulling her towards him,
But then they repeal;
If kept in closure distance.
When kept in different space
It's easy to be different poles.
It's only when you bring them together
In sentences
In feelings
You realise 
They are alike poles 
Natural to repeal
Like it's just affection
Not love.

Talks of 3 AM
Simple words 
Tuned as metaphors.
Or the gift wrappers
Shinny,
Easy to fell for.
Excited to unwrap it
With zero patience
You even are convinced to tear it off
Just to realise
It was your heart dancing in happiness
Not the thing in the wrapper
But that wrapped played the trick
The moments 
The words
The way they talk
They way they get into your nerves without even touching you
The way they steal you heart
Without cutting your chest
Or hurting you lungs 
They take your breathe away
 Just like the bubble in the air 
 Rising, shining at once
 And dead in the another moment

Gravity plays it's hand
It makes you fall for it
The moment you try to fly
With borrowed wings

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.

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
