Wanderlust



She dreams of blue skies with wisps of grey
of dimming sunsets and cobbled streets
Conjures a view of a nondescript bay
Brimming with pretty lights and Happy feet 

Surrounded by the ocean, Shaded by the moon
where she may pass by fireflies in platitudes
Live the artful life in a perpetual slow motion
measured by only longitude and latitudes

Link by link she will build a chain of trust
asking,"will you step outside your walls with me?
And hand in hand, yield to wanderlust
to create our own serendipity?

I Am Calling You Back


Tonight I need you around me.
Lend me a pinch of your insensitivity.
You see, with you gone, I am wary of this new found lingering balance.
I insist you tip it over. Push it down with your nonchalance.
This happiness. is SO unsettling, So is everyone's loving embrace
I need you to disregard my feelings right about NOW.
Come.  Put me in my place.

I need a reality check, For I am hanging by the thread
Of passionately believing again like every time you said
"When you are into something, you don't walk, you dive"
I am asking you to go ahead, Tell me I am being naive.

Yes You, I am calling YOU back.
I need you to stop my stride as I swim another mile.
This life is getting too good to be true. I'm considering living in denial.
My days - Increasingly getting the better of being jaded. Familiar.
Until I find myself being overtly serenaded. Peculiar.


Return to remind me how people get stressful.
Top it off with a dose of cynicism- Your instrument of the "successful"
Surely this positivity around me has gotta be a ruse
This increasingly seems like a dream, for I am nobody's muse
Tonight I need you to reinstate the mirage of a "soulmate"
And that when autumn arrives , I will fall - like an autumn leaf’s fate

So come along again.
Hurry. Break my flight
Its addictive.
Disconcerting.
Such Brightness.
This height.

Frown again.
Bring me down again
My ears are ringing with applause
Swish your sword . Stop this sound again.

Come
Ravage
destruct
Be the Savage

The fall is now my utopia
and will be my once upon a time
the Scars might be the cure
My pulse rises with every crime.

Take away this perfection.
You know you do it the best
You know I know you want to
Come Raise me the Tempest.

Someday

Living in Noida : Blurry  yet atleast in colour now
We all have that one thing that would deliver us from every other thing. That one person whose mere presence would help us combat every thing life throws at us.. That one dream that would beat every other dream and reality too if it came into life someday.
Someday.
Over the years, I have deliberately/offhandedly, attributed many things to "Someday". Some out loud an,others in whispers to myself. Few of which have seen the light of the day, while others remain gently tucked away in the recesses of my heart, waiting, biding time... and patience.

One of my "Someday" came to life today :)
I wont go into the details.Not just yet.
Not even in contemplative conversations with myself.
Shh.


Reminder to Self : Inhale. Exhale. Repeat.
