AT A TRAFFIC SIGNAL



I saw an aged childhood
Stripped of innocence
Running around a vehicle
At a Traffic Signal.

Under that sun burnt skin
Were some burnt dreams
Looking like a dried bud
Trapped in a vicious circle
At a traffic signal.

Selling a bunch of lovely
Beautiful fresh flowers
Forcing herself to smile
Everyday I see that girl
At a traffic signal.

To admire the will to survive
To see her performing duties
To learn to keep going
Life comes to a still
At a traffic signal.

Light will soon turn green
And we all have to go
But when will life’s red light
Change for that little angel
At a traffic signal.

I CAN NEVER THANK YOU ENOUGH !!!!

I can never thank you enough For gracing my life with your presence Even though it was awfully brief...... It is just enough to Keep me alive and love my life! I can never thank you enough For giving me the privilege to gaze into your eyes I am still intoxicated by its magic From that instant, nothing in life seems tragic! I was completely besotted by your aura And smitten by your charisma. I love to breathe in this exquisite air Because it is the same atmosphere that you share! I can never thank you enough For giving me the memories Those are indebted by your divine presence I have framed them on my heart's wall And nothing dares to cross it all. So, my heart remains uninhabited Only your memoirs widespread I love to live that way Because I know no other way! I am mesmerized by the moon coz it seems to be Lightened up by your reflection I am fond of the nature Coz it carries your favourite colour I just adore the wonderful clouds Coz some of the lucky ones will fall down As raindr...

Coffee...........

Image
As I am sipping on a hot cup of coffee,trying to relax and enjoy its aroma, a strange thought dominates my senses. The thought of my friend’s Ex who gifted this tall bottle of coffee to her. She is not much of a coffee drinker , so she gave it to me and I accepted it willingly. I never thought this bottle carried more flavor than just that of coffee beans. The memories just keep splashing on me with every sip I take and there is no way to escape. I must admit that I did not even try to brush those memories away. In fact, I relished its taste and odor more because of the fact that every drop was pregnant with sweet remembrances. The thought from one ex moves towards all the other exes in me and my close friends’ lives, Its because I have a microscopic view of only these lives; so I can’t blame myself for intertwining our lives in my thoughts every now and then.  Anyway, strangely, as bitter as the break-ups might have been in those days, its absolutely a sweet memory now. We al...

Fathers Are Wonderful People

Whenever I look closely, I find that almost all the problems in our relationships are offspring of misunderstandings. And we feel loved only when we are understood. Whenever we feel sad, we say, “no one understands me”. Understanding is that important. But Today My thoughts are drifting towards the most misunderstood species on earth.  The Fathers. Yes, the fathers are wonderful people but we never really get to understand them. We know that they love us and we love them but they are not our favourite like mothers. Why? One of the reasons is that fathers’ job is invisible. Like they go to work somewhere but we never see what they go through there to survive. We see our mothers clean, cook, concerned and troubled and so they become our hero. It is said that there is double pleasure in loving than in being loved and in that way our mothers have all the pleasure. They love their family, house, and everything in between. It shows in their nature. While our fathers live in ...
