mermaid tears, four leaf clovers
and shooting stars,

i'll send a prayer holding on to hope
this time,
don't wanna take a chance

the world is under arrest
silenced by its fate, but
stubborn heart-beats stutter,
Still..
keeping a poem to stay awake

and i shall collect the things
as old as time, as worthless as myths
deeper, wiser
darker , wider
hidden inside torn pockets of nature
to make a dying wish
over a wine glass..

Dear Old friend/ New stranger

Sometimes I wish to get a concussion and suffer spiritual amnesia. Because I really want to detox myself from the idea of loving you. Or maybe it's not you who I still love. It is just the 'old' you. Or maybe it's just your memory.
Am still learning to hate you less, so that I can love me more. Because what you did was vicious. Digging a pit together, then pushing other person in the abyss and taking a french-exit.

It's not your exit that agitate me, it's the fact that you left without saying a goodbye. It's the fact that you were not true to me. And mostly, you lied to yourself.
By far, the best thing you did to me was to not get too close. So, what! Should I thank you for not sharing your old lovesickness... Or for giving me a fresh one..

Our lives resemble books. But we can always tear some pages, Stick them together. .or burn some.. And maybe rewrite our own endings..
Yes. I feel a sense of loss. But this loss is not agonising. It's liberating! Here, I'm giving you what you didn't gave me.

A quick closure.

So when you read this unfinished letter
Make sure to complete it and burn afterwards..

the loss of misconceptions and preconceived notions.

-

truth and righteousness.

The very qualities that cannot be annihilated, with mighty weapons, convincing lies or the tedious course of time.

Krishna is, was and will.

Don't take too long to understand that your first best-friend should be You.
Always you.
Have a healthy relationship with your mind, accept your body, accept your past, accept your flaws and mistakes, listen to yourself.
Take Responsibility.
Embrace Yourself.
Enjoy life alone, eat alone, go to cinema alone, sing alone, laugh alone, cry alone, dance alone, and travel alone.
Fall in Love with solitude. Don't despise it.
Take a walk, deep within the jungle of your natural disposition.
There, you'll will find your true friend, my friend.

Absence is charming, when it's visibly dead.

She's too good to be true.
I know right!
Let's kill her.

-

Flightless.

-

handcuffs and blindfolds you grapple yourself into.

They neither let you see beyond your anticipations of a person,
nor they let you have a touch of their reality.

-

a book.
Caressing your hair as I turn your pages while reading you on my lap.
Sometimes I leave you fluttering on the bedside.
Other times you faintly wait for me on the living room divan.
Mostly I find you in the balcony-sitting, off guard.
And hold you like a shield against the first monsoon shower.
