THE STORY OF YESTERDAY, TODAY AND TOMORROW.

Part 3



TODAY WAS NO MORE.

What was left than to leave?
Staying was not at all easy.
The days and nights went in vain,
Expecting was eternal pain.

Yet, yesterday affected today,
And still was craving for tomorrow.
The poor was made to pick one,
To hold someone’s hand and run.

He had to know someday,
Not everything can be adjusted.
Neither a wise man could make a choice,
This was about feeling and not toys.

Yesterday was not good at making decisions.
And today couldn’t tolerate and wait.
Hence something had to be done,
So one could have everything and the other, none!

This literally meant, never looking back,
Not even in the most fatal of the times.
This was the price to be paid for love
To leave one and hold the other dove.

 So, today took a decision,
And thought to himself.
How much can he hurt someone?
Who is his very breath!

Now walk away, alone,
And walk alone, away
Let someone live the life they want,
And be a dream not a nightmare that will haunt.

This is the end of The Story of Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow.
Where Today chose to leave carrying all the sorrow,
So Yesterday and Tomorrow will never have it again,
Because for something happy to begin something sad has to end.

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 ...

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...
