What a Waste





Blood is still gushing through your veins,
Yet something seems to have changed.
Don't you see things a little bit differently?
even after the end of a decade.

The cold wind blows through your hair,
While wetting your cracked lips, you quiver,
Holding that smoke in your hand,
Once again, sitting here - you wonder. 

What a waste of a year it was,
What a waste of energy,
It's like you never learn, 
And get stuck in brutal and fuzzy. 

Is it all a lie, when people smile,
Seems they are trying for a while
To blur their senses and go for an escape,
Or is it just you,
Sitting in the corner all by yourself,
yet again.

  1. With veiled emotions, a smile that wanes
    Eluding the world from the internal pain
    Worry not, for these memories are not to keep
    Bitter paroxysms you let go off and sleep

    For there's a smile that lies locked away, hidden
    Nobody is let in, protected by walls, it is forbidden
    And soon one catches glimpse but you shirk it away
    With broken pieces of feelings gone astray

    Weep not for surely, the beauty will be seen
    Rejoice and live the moment, treat yourself as a queen
    For surely, if a protagonist like Pikachu could smile n say Pika Pika
    I am sure there is hope for you yet, dear, sweet Reeka!

Revisiting.

When I was young, Oh, when I was young... Everything was so much fun. Had no dreams, had no pun, but oh, it was so much fun. The hugs from mama, learning skates, learning to ride a bicycle and the dance with papa. The fights with di and the games too.. Telling on her to mom and dad, and the midnight stories too.. No cellphone, no wifi, Even the cable was out, Had a playground, had a school, and there was plenty happiness, no doubt There were friends, who brought plenty smiles Them, I still dream of, After the closing of blinds... And now, Oh its still good,, With the new world around.. but the old days, I will always miss their sound.

That Overused Term.

Ever think of love? What are the chances that a person could fall in love madly and deeply, to the extent that it consumes them? 10 times? Or maybe only once? They say those who do not seek it, those who do not fight for it, might not even find it. They may spend their entire lives, either hung over someone who they loved and lost, or settle for someone they do not even love. Under societal pressures or because of their own loneliness? But people have felt that emotion throughout history. Some find it in separation, which is also known to be the strongest of all the loves that exist. The dire need to look at someone and feel alive. The missing that is so powerful that it overtakes your mind and body. In the times of quarantine, the strings of your own heart can very well be understood. It is all peaceful out and there is a certain deafening silence. It could make you hear your soul, for you have nowhere to escape. Immerse yourself in books and movies as much as you want, but ...

Bid Adieu

When Pink Floyd said: So, so you think you can tell Heaven from hell? Blue skies from pain? Can you tell a green field From a cold steel rail? A smile from a veil? Do you think you can tell? I think he was questioning me.  It's been ten years to school, yet the impulsiveness in me has remained intact. It's been ten years since this blog, but am still pondering on the life I want to live. The overthinking or the misguided decisions have still been a part, for so long.  Progress? I might have gained a few friends and fun experiences, but I have a share of bitter memories and learnings that I never use. That I never inculcate.  When I started here, I wanted to make mistakes to live a full life, without realizing that those mistakes will strike me like a lightning over and over again. Now, I just want to take a pause.  At this point, it feels like that twist of the novel or a movie, where just before the climax, the hero has figured out that all which had changed was of ...
