The poem in the head is always perfect. Here, it is just random lines of thought!!

Someone crossed our path like no one has ever did

No matter how often the sand veils the trail

The dune has to shift

Leaving behind the creatures print that once walked

When the imagined image fades

The real person appears

Eyes searching in another for a life once lived

A life more beautiful when everything is usual

The future holds its breath in the turning seasons

And winter, quiet and unsure

Shows the path ahead

Lit only by a halogen light

Yellow light will bring the brightness in path

When the switch is on.

She feels nothing at times

Goes through it all at once

Her mind is like a sky covered with grey clouds

Barely able to see the things clearly

When storm hit the clouds its the time

Rain happens and clears sky

Clearing all tangled thoughts

Make her feel she’s her own

Complex situations work fine until math

When real world became that equations

The i (iota) is never been known

The I is lost in lots of WE

And equation remains unsolved

When will she know she’s the one

Chosen by divine to do beautiful things

Healing time feels like the most depressing part

Forgets it’s the part of the one i.e. negligible one

When she’ll know she is the whole

Not just part of THE ONE

Sky has to be blue soon for sure!!

SHE/HER.

A girl with dreams in her eyes

Is craving for fries

When she get the fries 

She have tears in her eyes

Her teary eyes looks for books

Without worrying about looks

Eyes shining like diamond in sun

Enjoying her own life is no less than fun

Battling overthinking in her own creepy thoughts

Is like untying her difficult knots

A girl with lot of courage 

And being strong with her own savage,

Someone who was born in small town 

She had big dreams for her crown

She is the eldest one

It’s a new journey everyday for her to begun

A studious kid who loves to read 

Summer holidays are her old newspaper read

Fighting battles of her own

She will raise bar of many like her own

She’ll surely win her fight

Without leaving things on chance or might

She want to achieve some but got all

In her hands, the world began to fall

…

But whole universe runs on belief

Her only purpose for life

Is to search for the light

That is always present within her

But she is focused looking in outer world.

Being an adult is FUN!

From being disciplined in actions to chaos in head
From being a dependent kid to an independent adult
Waking up at 4 in morning to sleeping at 2 in night
We all grew up!

Waking up by Mamma’s sweet voice to cringe Alarm sound
From preparing school dress at night to doing everything in morning rush
Changing schools every 3 years to a permanent job
We all grew up!

Asking money for a lollipop to buying luxury things with own money
Saving 10 bucks to spending thousands
Carrying phone secretly in school to openly using at work
We all grew up!

Loving birthdays to celebrating work anniversaries
Avoiding tea to consuming caffeine at work
Passing in classes to promotions in jobs
Namaste to good mornings
We all grew up!

Do we really grow up or just acting👩‍🦯 like the one?

I’m an adult now, no longer a child, why God?🧝🏼‍♀️

She loves the sunflower and I give her all the sunshine.

Oops… but this is not a sunflower but definitely there is SUN!!

It all started a day before when she thought of going out. She is not so good with decision taking but I’m glad that she took this. She resists to move her body from bed in the morning. But after a lot of struggle and thinking, she finally agreed and left her soft comfy bed. She put on some romantic music and had a chill pill on it. Later she took a shower and dressed up in a cute dress which she bought 5 years ago and applied eyeliner which is her current favorite. Wore the sneakers, took her sling bag and were ready to leave the home which is very heavy for her to say see off. She walked for some K steps and took a cab to the destination. The destination is her recent favorite coffee house. Ordered her common coffee with a brunch. Had brunch and read the book “Hell Yeah or No” for some time and think about the thoughts while reading. Looking around at people and observing few things, with gratitude in heart, finally left the place. Then she marched towards the showroom where she purchased a shirt and moved to her next all-time favorite destination i.e. bookstore where she surfed a few books and after doing some overthinking over 2 books she bought both of them by remembering the Gregory Corso “if you can’t decide between two things, take both of them home“. After books she headed towards a flower shop, took some flowers for her vase and moved happily towards home with a big smile on face. Reached home, and lie in bed for quite some time, and then wrote her gratitude journal. Watched a movie that was procrastinated from past 2 weeks. I think she is happy and really enjoyed the day.

Hope to have some of them quite often.

A great day to be with HER!

More Such Days To Come..
