THE LONELY AFFAIR. 


If you sleep a night
A night of no stars
Just the sky, the moon
And nothing more.
Hold a hand, 
And look at it
It will give you memories 
And you make them core.

Its beautiful to see it
See the dark sky.
With the one you love
And want beside.
When glee is everywhere
Lying around you,
And all those tiny problems
Seek nothing and hide. 

The nocturnal sounds
Are not scary anymore
The cold is now all warm
Only because you held her hand tight
And it all got concrete due to trust.
Now you lay with smile
And stare the sky 
And look at each other once
The glittery eyes
The tempted smile
And space Is now no more. 

"You know i love you",
You would say. 
And she would hug you 
With, " Yes, i love you too" 
You would feel the chest and heart, who's sound was loud today.
All that was unsaid and wanted to speak was merrily left at rest. 

Now that you know,
How love feels, and this bad maybe the real good.
The wrongs of world can turn you right
Its a Small world, not True. 
Fall in love, you know it well
And others may not.... 
Its a matter of sides.
And parcel of life. 
Its not less but more. 
Its a call to say
I can understand, because i really chose to.
Let things be at rest.
And make your nest.
For this night will pass too.

Love-less and Love-some

London November 2020 The sad thing about life is, we spend too much time thinking about others, and not enough about ourselves. We fear that we'd be tagged as selfish, too busy, too involved in our own self. Most of what we do is out of love, affection, belonging and the eventual fulfilment of expectations.  None of this is eternal. Not even one.  We yet don't think before going lengths for those who consistently treat us as average. We are blinded quite literally by the perception of the love we have built in our minds and that fails to stop us. Love only grows out of a good heart, it only pours out of the heart that has a lack of love. You'd never find someone who's perfectly happy and contented with themselves, going about giving love and kisses and sweet wishes to everyone around them.  I agree, perfect and happy is a subjective concept and it's probably not even true. But people who are often enough with love, are quite and keep it to themselves. They continue ...

Until The End Of Quarantine.

I am tired now, more than I was before, and this doesn't seem to get any better. Every new day. Seems a decade away, while I hate growing old. So I sit in oblivion and sleep untimely, I trust every new story a little too blindly. I crib for no reason, and change like a season unaware, uncalled, undue. I simply make an issue out of everything, I do realize that I am missing something. But I don't know what it is, so I wonder. I wonder, Will we still be in love once this is over? Will we still know what friendship feels like? Will we take risks like we did before? Will we be less cautious or more? Will we think twice before we eat? Will we be vegetarians or still choose meat? Will we care about what brands we wear? Will we simply try to just be there? Will we find peace in everything that we see? Will we be in chaos, a chaos that is me? Will we value the streets we walk on? Will we know what life was like in a lawn? Will we love the sky a lit...

This will not make sense to you. [Me and Vivian Castelino in this world] I am recollecting a phase where I wrote almost every alternate day and I found joy in doing so. I was someone who also had a daily diary that was actually a ranting session with a book that did nothing more but listen to me. I stopped writing 2 years back for myself and changed ways. I wrote for people, surroundings and the things that happen in our society. It was so life-changing. I came across so many things and somehow it helped me get out of my small world and see for myself If I could be of any help to this world. I have no clue how my writings have helped the world in the past two years. I don't know if it has helped in the first place, but after a long time, I feel a sudden need to write for myself, for the things I missed on in the past two years and now that I think of it, I could have written so much. Every second day, I keep telling myself, 'We'll start today Rahul, It's...
