IN THE MIRROR

Walking across the room in a hurry

Collecting things for my start,

Cursing the day, in a little worry

Looking at the room, kept in pathetic art…

As I prance from one corner to the other

Losing my self control,

A glimpse of the sight

Catches my mind’s hold…

A glimpse not strange

But certainly new,

Something that is not vague

But is very true…

Scanning from top to bottom

I wonder,

Time has shown magnificent changes

To which I vehemently surrender…

As I stare at the reflection

For many reasons I rejoice,

Because in the bright shadow I see a successful individual

Who always had many choice…

At every stage

Choices were many,

To choose one out of them

Was not easy honey…

Today I don’t regret

For all those loses, failures and hardships,

Because they polished the darker side

Though it was a bitter sip…

What was in store for me

Was very unpredictable,

And the fact that time changes life

Made my journey very stable…

A voice ringing in my ear

Shoo’s my thoughts away,

Calling me back to reality

Reminds me that I still have a long way…

With my realization and discovery put aside

I head towards the voice,

I look at all those people

Who stood by me through my choice…

Today as I look at them

I feel really blessed,

Nobody could have been more lucky

To get such a lovely set…

Heart of heart I murmur

Nothing is for me but everything is for you,

I don’t see myself anywhere

Had you not been there through…

Well guys enough of sentiments

I don’t preach to be a drama queen,

In life if you go down, you do come up

Is what I have seen…

YOUR DAUGHTER

Walking along the busy road
Trying to reach my stop 10 minutes early, I manage
Getting into the bus and grab a window seat
To have a half an hour nap before reaching college…

Putting my headphones under the A.C. I sit
Casually resting with my bag to left I sleep
My mouth half open and head hung low
Ssshhh the sleep is deep…

Half way through I’m abruptly awake
Because the dream I saw
Was ugly,
But not fake…

A dream so correct
But will never turn true
A dream that lucidly shows my mistakes
For which I should repent, trust me I do…

Why it’ll never turn true
Is because you’ll never come to know
Since all happened so privately
And when I confront them now I go low…

I’m being told that
Whatever happened wasn’t a sin
It was just an adolescence fantasy
Bursted by my innocence pin…

Every time I think about this
I’m so disturbed
Damn it!! Where were my senses
And were logics all curbed??...

I’m sorry Ma and Pa
I can’t tell you many things
If only I could delete few chapters of my life
“My life song” happily I would sing…

Not only now but
I would repent for the mistakes whole through my life
As for others these faults are nothing
But they aren’t approved by my conscience…

I promise to you Ma and Pa that one day
“She’s my daughter” with proud you’ll tell
Because now I have become more responsible
And won’t repeat the same mistakes as I have already fell…

From this juncture
I’ll strive to take my life to higher levels
And will prove your worth
Without getting caught in the plot made by “clever”…

Life has given me another chance
Which won’t go in vain
I love you guys so much
I’ll definitely justify your hard work and pain…

UNTAMED LIFE

I pick up my phone to attend the call
Just to hear my friend calling me to her villa opposite to the mall…

Pleading me to make it to her birthday party tonight
To which with sarcasm I reply “yeah right”…

Gushingly I make it to the villa right at 10
To see the place brimming with her friends…

Quickly I sneak in to find the birthday babe
Rolling across the room as if I’m drape…

On my way I’m stopped
Like for once my mind is robbed…

My eyes transfixed reading someone’s gestures
That individual standing opposite to me, unique amongst the present creatures…

For once when our eyes met
The world around us seized…

Many questions raised in my mind
Answers to which were difficult to find…

“Yes!! you are the same one
With whom I thought it was all done”…

Without further delay I moved towards exit gate
Without even thinking about my mate…

All through my way I’m disturbed
Because of that meeting that has made me all perturbed…

I throw myself at a place so lonely
Such that it’s me only

Sitting there I get reminded of days when we were best buddies
For whom it was always joys and no worries…

How without realizing we got so close
But due to fear of losing you I could never disclose…

Disclose, how much I liked you
A feeling that was so true…

How I kept mentioning about my “guy”
A description very similar to you, but sigh…

Sigh, wondering are you really not getting it
Or ignoring it, thinking it’s my wit…

Then, I couldn’t decipher what you were thinking
Because all I knew was that towards you my heart was drifting…

Things changed as we entered last year
Glued to project work and sooo many exams to clear…

Soon were we into our worlds unknown
Reaping benefits of seeds sown…

We lost all contacts and touch
Busy with our lives too much

When I saw you today I realized you haven’t changed
But meeting you today was a little strange…

After looking at me when you stood still
I could sense that same feeling within…

Now all my queries have resolved
Because the tears trickling down my eyes, in your tears they dissolved…

“I’m sorry I just walked off”
Because talking to you now is little tough…

I fear what if the proximity increases and I fall for you again
Now things are not same but have changed…

As things are fixed
I’m someone’s fiancée and you are doing wonders in the career you kissed…

Now there was no way we could get back
Because our lives are running on different tracks…

But somehow I can never forget you
Since willingly we separated each other by the lines we drew…

This love between us is so unique and innocent
And beautiful were the times that together we spent…
