Walking away

Walking along the footpath
Careful to not step over
The filth and dirty puddle
I met her gaze

Seeing the pain in her eyes
That bores into my heart
And tugs at the touchy spots
I turn my head away

Rushing off to do some social work
Do I have time for her?
Hiding behind my responsibility
I quicken my pace

Thinking of my limitations
That compel me to close my eyes
That force me to ignore her pain
I push on to my destination

Will you follow us?

It came as if it’s meant for them, thecouple
A challenge for couples
Who can drive, write, and click
They grabbed it at once

So thought a thousand more couples!
Thecouple was confident in their profile
Their friends voted and offered support too
And they made it to the top hundred

When the jury edited out eighty-eight couples
Thecouple was not one among them
They came in the unedited twelve
And they are now pre-finalists

Now thecouple need cheers and support
Of friends and well-wishers
As they match their skills with the other eleven
To become the top three, and then the winner!

Miss this moment

Rustling leaves
Murmur of impatience
Breeze left in haste
More leaves to rustle

Amber colour
No slowing down
Move fast and quick
More miles to cover

Push and shove
Jump the queue
Reach the temple first
More demands to make

Mad rush every day
Who gains and what?
Miss this moment, and
Crave for the future ones

How dare he!

Garbage rots
In my backyard
Who cares?
It’s my privilege

My neighbour’s backyard
Full of dry leaves
An ugly sight
How dare he!

I frown and curse
Dirty, lazy, and what not
Such a nuisance
Dry leaves in his backyard

I blog about him
To vent my anger
To make him unpopular
Still, my backyard stinks

Dreams

Lift me to the sky
Drop me without warning
Chase me like a mad dog
Haunt me like a ghost

Caress me like a mother
Elate me to rapture
Gift me mansions and money
Carry me to wonderlands

What’s life?
Without dreams
Meaningful or pointless
Colourful or tasteless

A dreamless life
Boring and bland
Welcome the dreams
Enjoy the grandeur and terror
