Blurry Encounters

-
Profound haze, beautiful eyes in the distance
So I wait here looking, dropping my resistance
My heart emits a rhythm, a reverberating beat
It whirls in the air and goes on to repeat

You walk with grace, your fluid stride
My source of strength, forever my pride
I can see you, through the blurry
I'm torn apart between patience and hurry

That's my girl right there, my dream weaver,
She thinks to herself, that's my man
My lover, my only
We halt and gaze through the haze
And all of a sudden I'm lonely.

Sunset eyes, what can we do now?
I wonder as we pass each other by
Should I hold your hand, call out your name?
Let out some tears, give out a cry

Silence.

I turn around and see you walk round the corner
Won't you turn around to see me?
Didn't the dangerous friction of our bodies bring back memories
Good enough for a little glance?

I watch you go, it is starting to snow
I take off my hat and loosen my tie
Your scent is going to choke me, fill me and mock me
And make me wonder if it was all a lie


It wasn't. It was the most natural feeling.
On second thoughts I want to run behind you and grab you, hold you and reassure you, that I love you.

But if I didn't love you enough, would I let you go?

Epiphany

I feel like I'm coming to accepting this. From drowning in my self created mazes, from people I tried to escape. I'm still rooted, where I am, and my past will be forever etched in my memory, times I've tried to not only escape people, but myself. I got lost almost voluntarily, almost as if in quest to find myself, on the streets, in shops of nowhere, below my own skies, which seemed so alien. The world that was jelly in my hands, slipping from my palms and I could do nothing about it. I got prone to killing myself, the instinct that still lives on in my being. Still there have been times I've been able to find reason, and I have figured that by reason and reason alone can I move forward and conquer. I see myself a little above the deep unknown, afloat on the water, I'm not moving, I'm not sinking. Complexities surround us, and we usually rub our eyes to misunderstand them. They become threats, and we always look for people to direct us. Sometime

Never one

To harbour an idea, (I won’t say dream for that seems needlessly embellished for this piece) for a good many days, months and even years, having gone through very distinct phases – of thinking it in the first place, of establishing it as one to pursue, of wanting to act upon it but not, of acting upon it and failing, to actually achieving it has served as an eye opener of the first order for me, and though I don’t completely comprehend its ramifications, here’s what I have understood so far.  For once in all my years, I set out to chase something that I believed (and believe) would ultimately become my profession. At last, to the relief of many and myself, I had a singular direction and the only visible trajectory was forwards in a linear motion. Though I am not one for jotting notes, it was all charted in my mind, organized according to serial number, colour and topic. I’d do the usual and achieve something mind-bogglingly grand. I’d escape the nest to find my calling and tra

I do not want to feel it; But every early morning A certain restlessness creeps into my bed   Gently stroking the surface of my head Sending down tingles of misery, Paralysing every trinket of hope. What could it be, I wonder Desperately finding a way around the fact But alas, temporary consolation Is now falling short in covering the act It has been you, just you Victorious, both in capturing my fancy   And making me feel inadequate.   You, and your uninhibited ways - Refreshing and reckless, And nonchalant (and demeaning) demeanour   Were never for me.   How could I be so wrong?   When I saw you then, I thought about possibilities When I see you now,   I think about my flaws. I do not want to feel it; But I feel resentment. For wounding me in your own strange way For making it seem like it will never go away And for lingering and hovering like a bunch of moths   Around any found remnants of light. But fortunately,
