JUST AN ACQUAINTANCE

 Words and feelings trying to become a poem

 

You were no one to me

But we were on the same train

After ten hours, our paths intersected

You said Hi! And we got acquainted.

You were no one to me 

but travelled two hours with me

I reached my destination 

so, we went our separate ways

Again, we were strangers,

Following each other on social media

Liking stories and commenting on posts

I remember, if you were a book, 

you wanted to be ‘champak’

Fifteen hours of acquaintance 

and we knew nothing about each other

And one fine evening you disappeared,

trying to leave behind a mystery

Now you’re gone (forever) 

and gone is the voice that called me “Wikipedia”

And how ironic is that,

I never knew the day you were born

But now I’ll not forget the day you were gone…

SILENCE

As the sun goes down And I sit, all alone in my room Silence envelopes me Like spring in full bloom It dissolves in the air Making it heavy and dense Then lands on my shoulders Announcing its presence The arrival of silence Is way too loud I feel like burying my ears Underneath a thick shroud It throws words at me Kind and unkind Makes me utter thoughts That I had left behind Then it seeps in Screaming inside my head Trying to wake All that is dead I ignore it, fight it And try to have my way Before I finally let it be I just push it away Then it greets me softly  Like a good old friend Who kept me company Wherever I couldn't blend For Silence always found me Trying to fit in the crowd And has reminded me again n again Of your individuality, you must be proud It has always waited patiently Whenever I go out It knows I'll be needing its embrace Without a doubt Silence has been with me For as long as I can remember In all my darkness It kept burning as an ember It never leaves me...

Cage

At the end I couldn't escape This cage And how could I When it's made of  My very bones  And locked by My very blood I sit staring At that enchanted door Only once did it open  Or so I thought  And I went out Or so did I remember  Was it all a facade Who cares Because after all All I could do was To pretend  Smiles Tears Worries Fears I could no longer differentiate  What was originally  Mine But who cares When at the end I returned  Or thrown back Into this cage again Would it have been better If I never realised  Lived all my life  Happily confined I have this thought sometimes  Because going out was no better  I got tired Of people  Of myself Of this envy  How do they do that? Why is it so easy for them? Why can't I? Why do I always have to fight? And I only took a Sigh  Then booom!! Back in the cage To be honest  I kinda felt comfortable  It has been my home after all But that's not how it work...

What are you scared of ?

 I am scared of almost Anything and  Everything Water being one of them Drowning , to be specific (and doesn't have to be water specifically) But one can be scared of something Still long for it, right?  (a lot can be on the list)  Anyways I've been feeling like this For a long time Drowning, that is Don't take it for dying That is different Dying is disappearing And drowning is........  Well,  Not disappearing I guess So that day The day when I was in the water I was scared And I stayed in a corner (Like I always did)  Then I went down Submerged myself I wanted to be swallowed I wanted to stay there A little longer But my lungs gave up If only one could  breathe underwater They say water has memories But why did it have mine Well then i t must have a brain as well For it selected all the miserable ones The ones where I stayed in a corner All of them Why did water do that I wanted to ask So, I went under A few more times  I kept floating I ke...
