Janus-faced rains, they-
They escort so many memories
Memories of smiles and tears.
Oh! Those erstwhile times of all smiles
Alas! Replaced now with misty eyes

Those long gone souls-
Have left their memories as souvenirs.
Souvenirs- precious, wanting to be held close.
It's these rains who summon these recollections
For its that time of the year, Alas!

Deeply rooted in the earth
Are these withering flowers,
Flowers, hesitating to blossom into fragrances,
Damaged by the stormy winds under gloomy skies,
Wondering if they are ready to turn into pristine smiles

It takes time to learn-
That letting go is not forgetting
Letting go is accepting;
Letting them breathe and exist as memories,
Unlike stranded islands with incomplete stories

Living in the same city,
Going to the same college,
They thought, nothing could keep them apart.

From hating every boring sunday
To loving every sweet monday

From meeting him almost regularly
To staring at her peculiarly

From annoying him almost everyday
To calmly saying "only today"

From holding her hands awkwardly
To matching his pace hurriedly

From hijacking each others' pen
To hilariously acting all insane

From scribbling in her notebooks
To giving her funny looks

From sharing tiffins and snacks
To having each other's backs

From booping her nose delicately
To stroking his hair affectionately

Little did they know,
That nature would play a game,
By sending a virus difficult to tame.

Little did they know,
Waiting for them was a period of hardship,
An experience of a long distance relationship.

Quitting is an agreement with death.

Life dies when, death lives within.

Lovers are Liers, Cupids are Destructors.

I still find a mail-box more intriguing than an inbox.

Our mind is like a soldier,

Always battling against the rigid habits,

Only to safeguard the resolutions,

And bring tranquility in the whirlwinds of dilemmas.

What if Friendship was like a contract?

It would say,
'The contract allows the members to share happiness, secrets, sorrows & the belief that this will last forever, but the moment one finds someone more attractive, famous & beneficial, this contract can be dissolved with exclusion, no-chat-policy & backstabbing'.

Note:
1) The one who leaves is not guaranteed of contentment, love & respect from the new ones.
2) There is no assurance of patch up with the former close 'friend'.

I need to take a break.
My happiness is playing peek-a-boo with me again.

-

On a quiet day on the street,
My mind & soul greet.
I sense something pass by my feet,
But nothing to my eyes meet.
I wonder, if it was just an illusion,
And oh! My mind consumed with suspicion.
Neither was there a human being
Nor any four legged hurrying.
I heard a creepy faint voice,
To investigate or not was my choice.
So i thought of taking a chance,
And ended up taking around a glance.
But again no one was around,
And finally the chaos of thoughts drowned.
What was that queer episode about? I wondered.
Could it be hinting at something ? I pondered.
The presence I sensed was indeed abnormal,
And so was the dream normal.
