I was standing in the balcony of my home this morning
After an early shower
Trying to talk to the breeze and listening to what it has to
say..
Just then, the clock ticked,
And I turned inward.
My cell phone clicked,
And an early good morning message read:
The best feeling in life is when you realize that you are
perfectly happy without the thing once you thought you needed the most.
It suddenly struck me that this is what the breeze was
trying to tell me…
How apt !
We crave for human love since we are born
The first cry of a baby and the last sigh of an old man
Look for that sign of extreme love they lay their life upon
So has it been with me.
But, at this juncture
When the word has gained individual meanings
My mind is benumbed, not sure whether it still wants what it
always wanted
I have won the affections of the people that surround me
But, does that really matter..
For affections change and assume new forms
Blood relations are distant and blanketed with unsaid love
Ties of emotions don’t shape up as desired
And may I call it a mirage when you experience all that you
dreamt
But you do not have the power to make it true
So, I sleep on these thoughts
And walk the lanes alone
My days entailing in feelings
That I wish were less entangled
I almost happen to realize
That all the happiness we pamper ourselves with
Are towers of romantic projections
That seem beautiful till we try to erect them
And vanish once we approach them
