Short story : A Conversation


"I really think you must be in a one sided love," a male friend texted.
I ignored his question and asked how his life was in a new city.
"Gym, job and cooking. Boring and usual," he replied.
"Yes. I too think job life is boring. Same place, same work and same people. No excitement and sometimes I think I am leading to nowhere..." I replied.
"... And you know, sometimes, I feel it's better to be a contract killer. So much of excitement... Isn't so?" he asked.
"Exactly,  that sounds interesting. But again, these are risky... " I said.
"Risk is where when I overtake a truck and I turn without knowing what's on the other side... " he replied instantly.
"Well said... " I replied.
"What is the reason behind your obsession about broken heart, one sided love?" he brought back the topic again.
"It is the area where I am comfortable. Thoughts come automatically and I write them..." I replied after a few minutes.
"Have you ever had a broken heart?" he asked.
"Yes, I had... And the pain is the inspiration to write," I replied.
"I have learnt how to control my emotions. I don't even feel bad about my past... " he texted.
"I too don't but my pen love to.  And the best part is he had injected in me the emotions that I pour out as poems... " I replied.
"And... The best thing she gave me is the ability to control my emotions. I can burn myself with emotional desire,  yet have an ice cold soul..." he replied.
"Wow... " I texted instantly.
"I am the king of one liners. My head is messed up,  things come and go. But I think it's high time for you to fall in love again... " he texted back.
"Love is not love
which alters when it alteration finds,
Or bends with the remover to
remove
O no, it is an ever - fixed mark
That looks on tempests and is
never shaken;
It is the star to every wand'ring
bark,
whose worth's unknown,
although his height be taken." I dropped my favorite lines by William Shakespeare.

Poem: Addiction




You are the addiction
That kills me
Every second
Yet,
I love being
Called-
Addicted...
For you
Are the poison
And the medicine...
With or without you,
I am bound to die
One day...

Poem: A wish


I wish
I'm that flower,
You will choose
One day,
And gift to someone you love...

Poem: Free Bird


A free bird
Lost her way,
And
She sought shelter in a lonely tree...
The tree silently promised her
To be her Savior,
And the free bird began dreaming
To make her castle of love,
Suddenly,
A hurricane came,
The tree failed to keep his promise
And the tree asked the free bird
To leave,
She left heartbroken and flew away
Towards an unknown destination...

Poem: I miss my absence


I miss your presence in my life
But,
More importantly
I miss my own presence in my life... 

Poem: I wish


I wish
I could climb the mountain,
That society created between us,
I wish
I could climb that narrow mountain
Of age old beliefs,
That question my identity
I wish
I could climb that mountain
To prove my priceless love,
I wish
You would have stood by me,
And we climbed the mountain together...

Poem: A mystery unsolved


O my love,
You are the mystery
The world tries to unfold
Between the lines
Of my poem...
And I promise
To keep this mystery unsolved
Till my last breathe...






Poem: I am lost


I am lost
In the world of-
My own thoughts...
Where if's and but's
Are in continuous tussle
With would be's and could be's... 

Poem: I sense your smell


As I gaze at the stars above
From my balcony,
Your thoughts cross my mind
And I miss you...
The cold breeze passing by
Engulf me,
And I smile
As I sense your smell...












Poem: A magic wand

I wish
I had a magic wand
And I could step
Into the future...
For loneliness is my present
And separation was my past...



Poem: World of my poems

O my love,
Shall I cry?
For you are no longer mine
Or, shall I rejoice?
For you have become the words
Of my longing soul,
In the world of my poems
Where you are mine forever...

Poem: It's Winter

It's winter I feel now, As I lay down still Inside the blanket, My fingers shiver with cold, My eyes are swollen- Waiting for the...
