Sun at the East
Wake up
Brush, Get ready
Pedal the cycle
Pick up friends
Go to class and wait…
My clock begins to tick
Because
You arrived
No perfume
No fancy dress
No hair-gel
No eyelash
No facial
No lipstick
No flashy heels
No gaudy purse
You are different
And just as fresh
As mom’s love
Cow’s milk
Gentle breeze
An un-fallen rain drop on an early morning rose
Or, just as rose itself!
Always smiley
Spoke words whole-heartedly
When we see each other
My heart begins to rush
Didn’t know I was having a crush
When I attempted to speak
You begin to deviate
Thought I was new
Common things are very few
All of a sudden
Rose to fame
Because of You
Guys say you won’t talk to ‘em
You won’t laugh with ‘em
You mind your business
No wonder why
Because you are shy
They are repelled
I am propelled
Weird!
Time passed by
Aversion turns into affection
Affection transforms to crush
My Love begins to blossom.
I won’t lie
Did eat well
Did sleep well
Did remember things
Except one
Why is World weird?
All I see reminds you
All I speak is about you
All I think revolves around you
You become my epicenter
No shadow of doubt.
The crowded bus
The road you walk
Your friends
The bus ticket
Your classroom seat
Your lab work space
The water tap
The pen you write
All become dearly
Except you!
Gathered momentum
Just to speak to you
Rehearsed in private
What to speak
When I confront
Got satisfied.
What a surprise!
Words went haywire
Body shake
Constantly combed my hair
Looked for a friend
When I approached you
Nothing that was me
You begin to question
What went wrong?
I heard it as a song
Smiled
And when you left
I found me!!!
Years passed
One to two, two to three
Very quick
Einstein was right
In part.
The more you avoided me
The more I hearted you
The more I was called crazy.
Can’t stop
Neither the blood boil
Nor the body tingle
I was naïve
But thoughts were true-blue
Want to express my love
Wrote a letter
Hide it in a book
Just for you to look
You borrowed
Later I sorrowed
Because
You said I am your friend
I said that is not the trend
Dejected
Disappointed
Demoralized
Loneliness become a part of me!
Change is changeless
Nature is shameless
Time has come
Out of the blue
You started to love me
Alas I was no near
Learned it through friends
What a surprise
Ego has taken me over
And I said we are so over
Didn’t heed
Even knowing you are freed
Made you cry
You learned to try
I made myself a rock
For you, it is a shock
You loathed me
Got married
You became ‘Her’
Then ...Mother
Strike
I Woke up
Realized what a huge mistake
Alas
You are beyond my reach
And always will be!
Didn’t believe in rebirth
Now I do
Just for you
If it is true
Will wait for you
The next time
To join hands.
And here I am
Waiting to die
With a hope to live!!!
