A packet of cashews

-


As I wake up to leave home,
From hunger to travel my mind roam.
And the feeling of warmth comes,
As I check for texts and my mind hums.

As I say good bye to mum,
A glimpse of him would make me numb.
I kiss Penny after a little fuss,
As I leave without becoming a mush.

As I reach the airport to fly,
Don't have past memories even if I try.
And I exit the world of children's fiction,
As I board to enter the life of non-fiction.

As the crew started to serve,
The reality and pain hit my nerve.
The packet of cashews exchanged hands,
As we flew away from the dusty lands.

Finding a new melody

This is how all the notes were stolen.. Leaving only a long silence of the unkown.. I can feel the depth missing from my words.. When I should be glad of getting over you.. I feel sad for not seeing us together.. Just like all other stories that were cut short.. Ours too was over too soon.. Even if the pain could be weighed.. I would still never let you stay..

Stand up to strike a new melody.. The mind needs resting not death this soon.. Especially when I only had fo...

As the raindrops fall on dry concrete floor, Watch the circular spots merge into whole. How quickly the patterns are formed and  how ephemeral is their existence, Just like the glistening drops on thy lens. As the rain the sky gets filled with the hues of blue again, Look at the spirals and the eddies that form. When you swirl your finger in that puddle created after that storm. Shapes of galaxies far away appear the same, Bringing back the universe to you in your frame. By holding onto this moment of bliss, Make sure that this sense of belonging you do not miss.

Insecurity in the time of corona

While the humanity fights their battle with a virus, There is a war raging within humans that is mindless. Adversity and crisis brings out the best in people, and also the worst, but it may not be that simple. Fighting within themselves are human minds, Between what they feel versus what is told to be right. Holding back the negativity, insecurity and jealousy, During the times of a pandemic may not be a priority. Let those emotions roll in full swing this time, Because later you'll be left only with that slime. Regret and guilt won't do much good once all this will be over. It wouldn't be easy when your deeds in sleep will hover.
