Was it the train to atlantic city ?

Ok this goes out to pooja one of my best friends and her man danny ... May the flame of passion and love never go out of your lives
Btw I know this isn't exactly what happened but I like to think of it this way ...
Besides fact is stranger and more beautiful than fiction any day !

God bless

So here it goes ....

Walked up to her and smiled
Hey girl could I sit by your side
The train ride to the other side of town
Was something that always brought out a frown ...

Having this cute guy by her side
Would it make her feel better about herself that day ?
He sat down and offered her a cookie
She grinned and took a bite
Of that cookie or maybe the hook that was in his mind ?

Fields of green passed them by
As different colours and contours could be seen in the sky
A red mist appeared suddenly out of nowhere
Enveloped these two
In a bond that we cherish and fear ...

They talked about football and the weather
Sang a few songs and cracked some jokes
Wondered how they strive to find a new way to carry on
To move away from the memories of the past that take us away ...

The train pulled into the last station
And it was time to say goodbye
But before she could turn and walk away
He came close and held her in a loving embrace ...

Told her that she was special
And that he'll like to meet her someday
Would she be kind enough
To give him a number ? A name ?

She obliged and kissed him on his cheek
Ran away only to
Meet him again that week ...

That's the only true love story that I know
Something that always makes me smile
In my moments of pleasure and pain
Having someone to love and care about
Isn't that all life is all about ?

Flip Flop

This piece is called flip flop after the way i was feeling in the DE lab on a friday afternoon in hot hot manipal ... Wrote it while people were too busy catching up on the latest gossip and teachers were more interested in getting pictures clicked for the college mag ! so here it goes ...

The first rays of the sun
Caress the surface of the Earth
As everything beautiful
Comes to life ...

Clouds move away
Cause the sun is here to stay
Illuminated minds and happy kids
Are the very things that the sun guided from the beginning ...

But I want to talk about this guy I know
Still fast asleep in his empty room
Afraid to step out and face the sun
He delays the awakening every moment till it actually comes ...

No one gets him
And he wonders why ?
Should he grow some wings
And fly towards the infinite sky ?

Watching his friends build the circuit of their dreams
He's still stuck in the thought of the girl who he lost
It's been 7 years since that day and he still remembers every second
Of how they moved away and never really talked ...

The rising price of food
And it's impact on the poor
Trouble in Tibet
And the Olympics in China
Are things he thinks about
Or maybe he doesn't
Can one man make a difference
Is something he believed in and it made him cry ...

Rising sea levels
And values corroding
Genocides and mass graves
Are scattered around on this planet on which he stays ...

Forget the past
Work in the present
Let future be the guiding light
That helps you through the night ...

Trying to get up
Move forward
Truly believing in his own beliefs
Is one of the hardest things
A man can achieve ...

The window

The dying rays of the sun
Filter through the window
A window so high
That no one can see
What the shadows care to believe ...

Part of an organism dead and decaying
This was once a house with a name on the door
Now people just call it by different names
The house of horror
The house of shame
The house where everything went wrong just one fine day ...

No one knows what the house contains
Can anyone even try to live under its terrible strain ?
Only one man can still remember how this house used to be
And for this very reason
Parting from it, is something he can not see ...

The rays fall on his hands
As the sands of time gather around his feet
He has seen in this life
What people don't see in eternity ...

He cant talk anymore you see
Because its been years since he used his mouth to speak
The sight of his eyes is now forgotten
Tears swept away the light into the depths of the unkown ...

No pain
No sorrow
Nothing left to believe in
No tomorrow ...

Waiting for the wind to blow him away
So that he may break into pieces
And float away
Be part of the night and the day
All I ask of him is to open this window once again ...

Could you repeat the question please ?

Rolling and falling on the floor

No one left to hold me

Nobody nomore

Sitting by the corner of this lurid room ...

Dealing with this purple haze

I think i see around me

Is it there or am I imagining things

Was a thought that had no bearings ...

War and peace had a new meaning

As humanity lost its foothold

I have been living a life of idiocy

Turned into someone I had never wanted to be ...

The night grew darker

And fear strangled my soul

A beast in me showed its disfigured body

What I had been through

And what was to follow

Were questions I had to swallow ...

Insight into my own brain was what I wanted

A reason why everyone gets hurt and cries

Why this world can never be beautiful infront of my pupils

And all I got were just those tears in my eyes ...

A life of solitude

A life of peace

A life away from it all

Is all that I need ...
