Strangers

You know me so well now,
There's nothing I can hide.
I claim to know u so well as well,
But there's so much about you that I can't decide.
When I talk to a stranger though,
There is a strange comfort I know.
I can say whatever I want.
Without the fear of being misunderstood,
I can do whatever I want.
No expectations,
No fear of losing,
No insecurity,
A strange comfort away from reality.
Can we also,
Not know each other as well as we do.
Lets get back to where we started,
Lets become strangers too...!

A New Leaf

The autumn has set in,
Can i see new leaves..?
Haven't noticed yet.
But I have got a new life.

A new morning, a new night,
Not a whole new world,
But a new point of view,
A new sun, a new light.

"Is this ephemeral?", I ask.
It is'nt , no questions asked.
The confusion seems to have vanished,
The defeatist vanquished.

Seasons change,
but not very fast.
I wish my new season,
also does not fade fast.

Chaos

There's a storm in my life,
Brings Chaos..
Dirty clothes piling up,
Papers all over my desk.
Where did I keep my specs,
And why am I so lost?
Skipping breakfast,
somehow make it for lunch.
Headaches everyday,
I can feel the caffeine in my blood.
I see the sunrise
and realise its time to sleep,
Sleep deprived I am,
I just went to sleep,
Why dosen't the alarm let me sleep?
Wake up, its time for class, it says.
Realising just a few minutes left,
I run to class.
Concentration levels are abysmal,
Why did I come to class?
The professor dosen't seem to make sense,
My backpages get filled again.
Get irritated at the smallest of things
Misunderstand people,
End up getting misunderstood.
Confusion reigns supreme.
Life is in chaos..!
Total Chaos!!!

The breeze

A gentle breeze kissed me
and woke me up today
It said-"Wake up.! Today is a wonderful day."
I asked - "But what's so special about this day?"
It laughed and said - " Why are you so skeptical everyday?
Everyday is a beautiful day.
The birds sing
The leaves sway
The butterflies murmur
and the flowers play.
There's so much in the day to do and say.
Wake up!
Begin the day on a happy note!
Work, Talk, Laugh and Smile!
Touch someone and pass the smile!
Forget yesterday
Live this day
Tomorrow will be another beautiful day.!"
The breeze made me smile,
and Went away.
I hope it comes back
to wake me up everyday!

Midnight wish

I wish the world was filled with beauty and simplicity
I wish there was no selfishness nor no hypocrisy
I wish there was less uncertainty and complexity
Oh! How i wish there was enough love to keep people happy.
Its almost midnight now,
and as I make these wishes to the Almighty,
Selfish I become too,
and make a few wishes for myself too.
I wish I could think more clearly
I wish I could express myself better
I wish everything was right
And I wish the clouds of confusion would give way to light.
Though I think I'm quite alright,
How i wish i was a different person,
Is just one of the thoughts that come to my mind tonight.!

Vacuum

I walk the walk of life,
I meet different people
They come,
they walk with me,
my road is empty no more.
They fill up the emptiness with smiles and tears.
I think, the vacuum is gone forever.
They laugh with me,
smile with me,
cry with me,
wipe my tears.
Suddenly, the road divides,
they say goodbye
and walk the other path.
I smile and wish them good luck
Only to find myself alone again.
I start on the same path once again,
Hoping to find someone else
to fill the perpetual vacuum.

Illusion

Life is an illusion
It is utter confusion
Why do some people come into ur life,
to make you feel nice?
And why do the same people,
hurt you and make you cry.?
why do you feel that you dont want to let go?
You will have to say goodbye u know.
Why is it that the harder you try, the tougher it gets?
Why dont such thoughts come to rest?
My agile mind gallops in the fields of confusion.
Life seems nothing but an illusion.
