The moment we learn to be happy from inside,
We emerge stronger than our old selves.

-

With each day passing by

It becomes clearer,

how well they handled us

And how we allowed ourselves to play to their tune.

-

When you treat certain people as an object,
don't forget
Someone maybe treating your favorite ones like that!

-

In this small world
I sought companionship
Flowers bloomed up
That gave its fragrance
But none stayed back
To fight out the darkness
Only a lonely me ,
swaying In this sea
Engulfed by emptiness
all around me.

-

12 calendar months pass by
It all began with empty notes
Some words exchanged with
solemn undertones
In the swirl of life
I landed far
Right here in dark,cold plains
Life threw the chance to erase the past
But pieces of memory kept clinging on
At times I kept the 'spaces' correct
But at times,I've messed it up
The lash of my tongue knew no bounds
And finally,
words can't be withdrawn
They've cracked down so deep
That it's tremors run down
Every day,deep down.
Was it all because it started off
With something called the ' excesses '
Why couldn't we just cut it off
and trim it just to
keep the wheels running.

-

Life teaches in harsh ways
To cut off the 'excesses'
Too much care, too much love
Brings along thunderstorms
At first, it's all smiles
But ugliness does pop out,
At the least expected times
The music isn't pleasant anymore
One gives more ,the other gives less
And the givers can't
hold back their breath.
Last the question that remains
Is why give more when
they wanted nothing
but just laughter and fun.

-

You start speaking
They start counting
Unaware,we go on
And when the moment came,
There's pin drop silence
That's when I realized,
You started counting seconds!

-

Later! Later!

We speak later...

I'll call you later...

See you later...

We'll go for a walk later... I'll tell you how I feel later...

You'll know later how much you mean to me...

Maybe later I will love you and maybe forget you...

We will leave everything for later and forget that "later" is not ours...!!! That "later" people could no longer be with us...

We couldn't see you "later"...

That children "later" are no longer children and

Parents just a reminder... This "later" day turns to night,

Night in helplessness, smile in pain and

life in memory...

LATER => Will it be too late...!!!

Be now...!!!

In life's pavements
I meet faces
Some clasp my hands
leading to the pastures
The bright times bring smiles
But sun sets ,turn gloomy
The shades and footsteps
i do see
But my frailing spirit
pulls back me.

-

The worst kind of waiting is
waiting for a response from someone while holding back
fears of rejection and indifference .
