While "typing" ,"last seen" and "blue ticks" kept on fighting for the best place on the stage,
"Backspace" smirked behind the curtains.

--"Hey, what are you staring at?Your coffee is becoming cold." he asked after feeling my fixed eyes on him.

-"Trying to figure out myself in your eyes."

--Giggling, he asked "So, what did you find?"

-"I never knew I was this beautiful!" smile overcame my reply.









The two coffee cups of their first coffee date blushed behind the curtains.

While we kept on blaming the "if"s and "but"s for having trust issues and temporarily calmed down our conscience,
Our unsung assumed "Maybe"s winked behind the curtains.

We weren't like this before.
This awkward silence was never there.
I was a chatter box and you,
the only listener I had.
You made me win, but always stayed behind the curtains.
You were omnipresent and just one call away. But now,
You're not.
You've got someone else to hear and
Some other hand to hold.
Your omnipresence isn't there anymore.
I always counted on you and
Never thought we could part.
But Alas! we have.

R.I.P Friendship.

Memories sobbed on the stage.
Ego bragged behind the curtains.

When hardwork was behind the curtains..
And success stood on stage..
Who clapped in the audience??... Satisfaction.
And pride sat in the audience smirking for it to come downstage...
Waiting to leave behind a tale of the successful loser.

When love stood in all its glory..
Who do you think was behind the curtains??
The peeping eyes and fast beating heart..
Or those small heartfelt gestures and secret smiles..
Passion clapped from the audience and heartbreak got up the stage ripping the love apart..
Leaving behind the tale of two heartbroken lovers.

Darkness shifts shapes
while my fingers
trace the patches
of rouge on my cheek bones
dabbed on the whitewashed visage
concealing the whiff of bitter tide
inside my veins
choking me
until I convulse
and my reflection shatters;
But the shell must be maintained
and you shall ne'er see
the lines cutting through me
the jagged pieces
swiveling puffs of void inside me;
You should just know
I'm
br.......OK......en.

She danced like a fire bird on her toes
And her wounds cried behind the curtains.

He use all the Wrong ways to reach the Top,
He Thought now his Destiny is Certain,
He was about to Conquer his all the Goals,
But then Karma appears from Behind the Curtain.

They promised to be by each others side no matter what happens.
Even destiny behind the curtains couldn't play its game!
