NIGHTFALL

Less like  brother, more like a friend

Both of us laughing crazily till the end..

Dancing in weddings or chatting late night

Sharing secrets of our life, making each other feel light..

When things don't go well, he makes me understand

Gives me the perfect advice and takes a firm stand..

Cracking jokes and teasing each other

just like every other sister-brother..

So smart, full of craziness

And thus i sometimes wonder

Why is he so quiet and calm in front of others..

Thats because we share the perfect bond

Of which he is so fond..

Though far in distance, yet so close by heart

He is among the gems of my life's chart

A person so damn ambitious

Life never served him food, so delicious..

But the heavy days were finally over

There was a turnover..

The things he deserved were then served

The sun shone bright

And his life changed overnight..

Then suddenly I woke up, with that gummy smile

Something popped up in my mind

Those moments were left far behind

It was just a dream that vanished like a beam..

Since heaven has become his home 

I sometimes feel so alone..

But there's nothing i can do, Just bury my face in the pillow and cry

To feel better and bid him good bye !

THE LOVE MIRAGE

The teacher was interrupted and bawled out," Again you are late",

I hobbled across the room, grabbed a seat and sat with my mate..

The class so mind numbing,

It contrasted the beauteous morning..

The chirping of birds,the morning breeze,

made me blossom like a flower and caressed my cheek..

Wearing a white shirt paired with a blue jeans,

A guy stepped in,

And i couldn't help gawking at him..

That body,those eyes and the voice so captivating,

As if amidst the snow, I enjoyed ice skating..

The feeling was not the usual kind,

And there he walked and sat behind..

From the farthest corner of my eye,

I could still catch a glimpse of him

But when it came to casual HI,

It turned out, I was too shy..

There was something quaint about that guy,

But i still dont know why..

I wanted to talk to him, but resisted,

Pretending that he never existed..

With the chattering of the students,my mind disported

It was then that i realized,

I was thinking about him, as if hypnotized..

The lecture was over and it was break time,

I stood up and looked behind..

My hopes were shattered just like a broken screen,

Coz he was nowhere to be seen!
