Triangle

A triangle is an excuse for a perfectly aligned line to break into two
To make two bases for me and you
And the hypotenuse may not be the same
But we are perpendiculars and that's the aim
And I don't think it is my fault
Because you said mean,long - no halt
And I kept trying to make it up to you
But I was short, stout and straight too
Finally you broke away
And left me to figure out my own way
Now we don't coincide
And talk of love by each other's side

But trust me,
Again,it will never be said
That two lines coincided
And now they are no use
They met again but decided
It best to meet only through a hypotenuse 

The Wait

You left me on a hot summer day
Standing in the rain
Pressed between sweaters and coats

When leaves crumpled under my feet
And pumpkins were being carved
When tattered my teeth
And street kids being starved

When sweaty hands handed me rain wet money
And the car splashed mud on my face
When comedy shows were not so funny
And I had lost all my grace

When days were grumpy gloomy and grey
And sometimes yellow with pink lemonade
When flowers were brown and green in decay
And I was the unbecoming red most shade

When I changed myself every season
Waiting for you with the same enthusiasm
And thinking of the very moment you'd come
It made me realize what had i become

But you came not ever
You betrayed me clever

For when I woke
It was neither monsoon nor fall
It was not winter or summer at all
It was peace; for the turmoil had stopped
My heart thumped and heart beat dropped

It was peace because I had known
That sometimes we wait for absolutely none
And wouldn't it be better to have let gone
Than trying too much,too long?

See the sky you are

What makes you want the sky so much
The tint of sunrise red
Or orange in the sunset
The palette of blue and purple
And white cloud beds

Why everyday you inspect the sky
And not see the beauty in you that lies
That every shade that changes the sky
Lies nowhere else but in your eyes

But you keep searching light in the cracks of dawn and dusk
you seek light in the corners of the infinity and beneath the clouded husk

But dear, you don't know what light you impart
That light you seek resides in your heart
That every single sky you see is just a part
Of all the skies you are

Savvy-Self

Savvy-self
Our lives are they really real
Like dew drops on leaves- crystal clear
Is meeting with time an obligation
And being in now more like a revelation

For everyday I build no wall
Or stitch no cloth , not work at all
But I slip like water
Sip my tea
And relish the time that's left to me

For Day and night I hear a voice
That calls out like a forest fire
The inside of me screams
For a deprived distressed desire

What value will wages weigh
When yourself knows not inner self
And every moment passes by
Without it having you to dwell
And you may know everything swell
Just your journey, you could've learnt it well.
