Last song of the Season


This last evening, as the season ends
And the sunrays retreat from the sky
I think of the grapes who are dreaming to become wine someday

When the clouds pass by the window of your room
And as you look beyond, everything seems to pause for a moment
I think of the sharp arrow of time which pierces our hearts every now and then

Tomorrow when morning sun arrives
And we realize everything is same but yet different
I think of the life counseling ‘spider’ gave to ‘suicidal fly’

The whalebone which I wear on my neck dreams of the blue ocean
The tiger claw charm on my wrist digs deep to quench its thirst
My memory of you is my privilege and my peace

“There are thousand places we won’t visit
Many things we will not know
A lot of faces we won’t see
Myriad emotions we won’t show
We have one life, an infinitesimal fraction of time
To understand whole eternity
Amongst zillion possibilities, we have only one story to follow
Never knowing how it unfolds”

Thoughtful Grenade

For once in a while, I want to be a thoughtful grenade
Rather than distributing shrapnel around, want to deal with your smiles
For once in a while, I want to make the promises which I can keep
Once in life, not to torn your heart into pieces when my time comes to leave

I want to be the thoughtful grenade,
Upon my chance arrival in your arms, I will sing a lullaby till you sleep
Then I shall roll down from your sleeves and then jump into the ground
And start walking away silently not creating any clamour around

Just for once, I want to save you rather than destroying.
And to become harbinger of hope and not cause ruins of your peace
And if possible can explain to you, before I leave,
Love is just entropy-wrapped reality
