A Parting

Look, as the red sun retires;
Dying light heralds a parting!
The long day draws to a close,
And ere I go, I wish to hold you!
The hollow of my chest gapes,
Ever growing to a dark chasm!
Afraid I am of the melancholy,
That grips me in its vices so!
An east wind rises, buffeting me,
Chilling to the very bone! My Love!
Come! Make haste, ride swift,
Embrace me and deliver my soul,
For such torment, it cannot bear!
A parting, ’tis so, but come fare me well!
Kiss me so the heart may beat,
Evermore in your desire and love!
Bless me, so the stars shine ere I go,
And I promise, a rising sun I’ll bring to thee!

The Gift...

Yet another birthday passed by, quite an eventful day… Boundless joys at the wishes that came, for those which didn't, some dismay… A multitude of emotions registered, but through to the core only one did sift… The ethereal happiness which lasts, from receiving several heart-stirring gifts… The Gift of Childhood… As the years passed by something in me was lost… Bitter experiences transformed me to a man serious than most… But all the playfulness and merriment were released from chests long locked… I saw my blithe childhood return, gazing at my sister’s gift – a puerile clock… The Gift of Understanding… People shy away from eccentricity, as now being unusual is akin to being freak… In the savage world of frenzied coders, I am one of the few with a literary streak… The rat race for certificates amuses me, for internships and projects, I never grovel… My pal is the one who understands me, and he gifted me two beautiful novels… The Gift of Encouragem...

It'll Always Be Her...

I love you, and am paying the fine, Wishing at some time, in someplace, in some world, you could be mine… Saying that I deserve better, she asks me to move on, And if I disagree, then I am a moron… I give in to her as always, and regretfully obey... After all how can I not do what she says??? I see a girl with eyes round and big, But there’s no twinkling like in my princess’, on which I dig… I see a girl with a complexion fair as snow, But there’s no purity in her like in my princess of which I know… I see a girl with a big and bright smile, But there’s no dazzle as is in my princess’ all the while… I see a girl polite and kind, But there’s no warmth which makes even her rebukes soothing to my mind… She says that I’ll find someone, that I deserve the best... She doesn't understand... It’ll always be she, my princess...my hummingbird... Whom I look for in every girl in my quest…

Divide...And Destroy (Tell Me Your Sins...Part-III)

The brouhaha from the ‘Lovebird’ affair took its own leisurely time to quiet down. And, finally things were peaceful again in college. But he was not. His dark urges having been fed, greedily asked for more. Our lone wolf strained his ears in the morning for baying of sheep and at night sat combing through the multitude of confessions for some signs of prey. It was not long before his wishes were granted and he picked up a scent. Election time – campaigns, speeches and promises; mudslinging, back alley brawling and backstabbing – a golden time indeed. The chaos which preceded a vote used to be good enough for him but this time it wasn't to be. For the first time in university history, the boys had rallied behind a single candidate. Though marginal protests existed, there wasn't a shred of doubt in anyone’s mind as to who the Student Council Head would be – Naren. And the dream team which made this possible – Naren, the affable leader, Adrivit, the key strategist, Aryan, t...
