Devil's Advocate - A Fool in Love

Almost everyone I know, has at one point given up on being logical and went with the calling. The calling for what they believed was a once in a lifetime kind of love. Just like you, I or that handsome hunk you set your eyes on in Starbucks (it happened with me today ;)) has fallen for: lies, mysteries, deception, manipulation, crazy-making and what not!

But my question here is why not? Even when someone was really really mean to you, didn't you learn that you don't want to be with that mean soul? Had s/he not happened to you, a great life lesson would have snapped off. Did you realize that while you were trapped with a narcissist, you actually found out that you have an emphatic and compassionate soul? You were able to come to terms with reality, not just yours but those minute details you let go of.

Most tragedies, greatness, realization, et al come from love. It's ok to be a fool in love, what's not okay is to settle for a fool!

He wore black and I wore white.

He would always win the fight. 

Bang Bang, that aweful sound!

Change

So much has changed today
It was not so long that we stayed
Beneath the trees and sang aloud
The songs that made us wanting
To come to each other in moments
The moments when we smiled for parting
And cried for love to stay

Even when I count on the days
When we are way past the glory days
And the hair string grows grey
It will still be not so long ago
That so much could have been changed
As I will keep you fresh in my mind

Break Free | Be Brave

My darling let go and then be brave. Break free of the shallows created by the world that hold you a prisoner. The past that left you with bruise & tattered, by those brave hearts who held the shining armor were not the real brave. For it to be real, the armor has to be tattered and dull, like that of a real warrior. The day that went dull was a reminder that you need more than just routine in it. As you struggle through the day, you are break to break free.

Brave is when your heart pounds, but you tell the truth
It is when you leave them wondering why they have been let free
Brave is when you set them free to face their own demons

Break free of knuckles, chuckles, claps and accreditation, in the end it is only the talk you have with you.

What else makes one brave? Add in the comment.

Alarm

Every morning a 'buzz, snooze, sleep, buzz' activity goes on for at-least an hour before I hop out of my bed and start getting ready for office. Although my morning start a little late than most of you.

I hope you don't get me wrong here - I am not lazy to keep sleeping.. Sleep is the gateway to dreams ;p

Alarm is the wake up call! Take it practically or metaphorically.

Uncertain

Which place should I seek it
It snaps on my face
After a short duration
It bangs on me
Leaving me blank
And full of angst
Along comes a pain
A strong one right in my gut

Source: Google

And a stone hanging in my throat
Stopping me from breathing
And that is a reminder
Of when I lost the one I loved
Perhaps it was worst than it is today
And I have come this far
So I will survive this
In the face of uncertainty
I will breathe and float
Just breathe and not struggle
And get off to sleep
For tomorrow will be better
It will be a different day

Author's Note: When going gets tough, be easy on yourself!

Now...

Now...

Such a crisp and snappy word. It looks like a high speed vehicle about to accelerate in the endless roads. But at the moment it is standing on a highway, while I am standing on a pavement next to Now.

While Now is to leave, there are questions I have for Now to answer me right at this moment. But Now never stops, it moves like the seconds hand of a clock. And I have this something to make Now stay for some more time, converse about the random things that make Now wonder. Just as the random stuff that makes me think deep. Just a drop on a window pane has the power to make me think about the universe, or just wonder what that one decision I took would have led me where in the parallel world.

Perhaps I am a deep thinking, and so is Now. But Now's ways are a little different. Now speaks in moments, I speak in lengths.

I want all the answers now, Now answers me in bits and pieces.

Fence, a creaking Fence!

I had been sitting on a fence
Really narrow and weak
Holding my weight
And waiting for me
To muster enough strength to stand
It makes a creaking sound

Source: Google Image Search

As I make way to stretch my leg
Telling me to stop
For the fence is old and weak
bearing with me
But me, I have been exhausted
To see people unmask
The fence carries no mask
I was to be a playful accomplice
To the fence
I am in love with its honesty
Weak and dull
With all its imperfections
And loving me back
A little more intense than I love it
In real sense with all its raw and broken self.
