the endless wait..

The sofas seem to have been rusted
There seems to be dust everywhere i set my foot
But still it all feels better than new
When i left, i just went, didn’t bother to give it a second look..

The framed pictures on the mantelpiece
The smiling faces stare back at me
With the same innocence with which they saw me
When i was innocent too

That Last Moment..

The waves were cold beneath my feet
The sand got stuck in my toes
As soon as the water rushed towards me
I tried to spread my hands trying to take in all that moment had to offer
I wasn’t willing to say my goodbye yet, wanted to stay a little longer..

I haven’t had my share of happiness yet
I haven’t cried away all my pain
I haven’t told the people I love their value
There still is some unfinished business

Weight of The Words..

Words slipped out of my mouth
Like the grains of sand in a lose fist
I couldn’t realize how much I’d said
Until I was taken down by guilt

The pain inflicted by what then seemed merely words
Left behind only silence which is now resonating
Even after the blow of the harsh words lingered
I did not realize the cost of this shrewd trading

Trading like it is with emotions and feelings

One last time

With every step forward in the sand
My feet got dug only deeper
I wanted to cover more distance
But my knees only got weaker

The effort was drawing strength out of me pinch by pinch
Every piece of my energy was being sucked out
Yet I walked with all my determination
Even though I knew, soon I would black out

a passing thought

I walk out of the house to enjoy the rain
the falling drops, the soothing wind
the lightening, the thunder
but then i sit and wonder

that though i want to enjoy nature
i sit in my car and roll the windows down

the nightmare

Its late at night
and dark outside
my eyes are tired
and i need some rest..

I climb in my bed
lie on my back
wait till i get drowsy
but the thought of the nightmare keeps coming back

it haunts me like a ghost
doesnt let me sleep
