Waiting for you too soon

 

It is the midweek,

It is the waning moon,

Am I waiting for you

A little too soon?

SOS is a misnomer

 

Our souls are like plastic:

Non degradable,

Only upgradable,

Through many recycles

-read, life cycles-

the chrysalis is peeled

Made open and bare.

Therefore,

Save our Souls

Is a misnomer.

Happy Raksha Bandhan

To all the lucky brothers,

Who have sisters,

To all the lucky sisters,

Who have brothers,

Happy Raksha Bandhan.

To those brothers and sisters

Who don't,

There are millions other Indians

Who don't have one either.

Choose one,

Silently.

You could choose the bravehearts

Who became one

With the Triranga today.

But then, you would still remain

Bereft of a brother in this world.

And yet, you would be 

Such a proud sister!

Happy Raksha Bandhan!

  

Love triangles are never equilateral

Have you noticed?

Love triangles are never

Equilateral.

Often times they're right angled,

Which would be so comic,

If it were not so tragic,

Love triangle, and rightly angled?

No tilt will work!

There are no happy endings

(at least, for one of the vertices)

In love triangles. 

Still, ever the best ship

 

We are in the same boat.

Whether she is sailing smooth,

Whether she has sprung a leak,

Still, ever the best ship.

Happy 'nother day of friendship!

I'll ride my own longitude

 

My Pole Star

Was under a cloud,

So, I asked Google

For directions -

To my True North.

Google didn't have an answer.

I can't wait for the cloud

To go away,

I will find my way,

Blindfolded, but with your heart.

Perhaps I'll ride  

My own longitude,

And find my True North.

The tide will turn

Don't quit loving,

Because of unrequited love,

The tide will turn.
