Everything is Fine!

Over rated scars to tinge of joys,
broken hearts to yet preserved toys,
day to day, and time to time,
It feels like everything is fine.

At home we shout for freedom,
and Singles with thoughts of boredom,
While nomads are still so homesick,
and couples are turning out of tricks.

Portion of oceans to lands of sand.
with no lock, no chord, none of the band,
to hold serenity throughout the life,
to dismay the inbuilt obscure strife.

With no range they travel so far,
desires we call, but liars we are,
it's merely adjustments we ask for,
and feels glad when they knock our door.

The door that welcome unwanted guests,
at times dies of holding lonely nests,
as the things we actually planned for us,
doesn't interest us of being auspicious.

Fuzzy relations to busy routines,
converging demands to diverging schemes,
day to day, and time to time,
It feels like everything is fine.

An open Love Letter

(Written at New Delhi station waitin room last night)

Though you never shown your love for me,

But it was indeed there.

And it went up with every passing day month and year.

Though I never realized; and even made you feel

Awkward while mentioning about you to others,

And finally one day I left you.

Though being together wasn’t even an available option,

But still it made me feel bad,

Yaa, probably not that bad.

You made me, my memories, all good and bad.

I was in you, may be happy or sad.

I laughed out loud with you, and yes, cried loud in you.

Then one day, that goes not so long back,

I left you, to start a new.

And today when I step to visit you again,

You are still the same to welcome me.

Which gives me the reason to spend my whole life,

With you and in you.

Though the time isn’t favoring this time,

But, you know my dear city,

Even the day isn’t that far. ;)
