When you are compelled to listen to the voice coming from within When it it says you are guilty of doing something or not doing something When you have realised it is too late and you know that time lapsed can't be reversed Think about it for as long as you want Realise it fully, absorb it all Tell your mind you weren't born prepared Then forgive yourself for once You are wiser now You have realised and guilt has gone Make sure it doesn't make room again ever. . . . . #guilt #past #letitgo #prose #instawriter #writing #writer #quotes #onboard https://www.instagram.com/p/BrSz8Mvg3d5/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1hl2yfgrbkh0t

I GOT STUNG! DID YOU? . . . . . I sigh after each failed attempt to write Does this happen to you? Or I am the only victim? Let me tell you about this disease It happens when you get stung No, not by a wasp or a bee But by the pandemic and irrefutable - Reality! Yes, I said Reality- Actuality, Materiality, and Substantiality! Sooner or Later, it stings you And all the wise philosophy there in your head Starts fading, starts dyeing within Yes, you struggle Just like the one who is drowning To come out, to trust your beliefs once more! But the reality forces you to think- Why do you make rosy things rosier? And sad ones; as if you are the gloomiest on the earth! You are never on the extreme ends, Or maybe the scale is longer than your reach? Are you a heart-broken lover? ‘You will have seven more break-ups And happily marry the eighth one.’ Did you just win the lottery? ‘I understand your happiness, dear But what about your cureless disease?’ Thus, the stung mind gets all the valid thoughts And when it tries to produce few words for my fiction, It goes numb and delivers emptiness!

Sunsets

The mists lift and the dawn breaks

The sunshine spills through clouds of haze

The droplets sparkling filled with rising hope

Like spinning and weaving a golden rope...

Oranges and reds have never looked better

Upon the dusk sky they stroke & splatter

Its beautiful, tragic, sorrowful, sad and sore

Then why is it we like sunsets more?

Is it the reckoning of a wonderful day

Or redemption & confession of all that the heart says

Is it that goodbyes are touching & make emotions swell?

Or a toast by Him; all’s well that ends well!!!!!!

light

Standing on the ledge to jump I happen to turn back and glance

Recall every beautiful memory before thinking, last chance!

My nerves are frazzled and heartbeat is screaming so loud 

The blood is rushing, makes me dizzy, also light as a cloud!

But I see a beautiful rainbow and cannot shake off my trance!

Failing for the first time, so ugly, bad and burning

I thought my life is in my hands but apparently I am learning...

That every plan is not perfect and dreams have a right to change

So humbling to know you are a human who can tear off a page...

A light realisation that indeed its you who can set the wheels turning...

A really bad squabble full of rude people bringing out your worst

But a cold pizza and a phone call from your friend regains your trust!

Life is irritating, frustrating, mean and unfair but very clever

She sneaks upon you like light warm sunshine on your worst day ever! 

One sec you’re on the cold pavement, the second, a hand towards you is thrust!

Sometimes it seems its too late, the police always arrive at last

But you’ve got to save yourself with all your guts and brains and fast...

It appears that all I do each day is stand up and enter a new ring to fight

When it gets too dark, He helps and tosses in a flashlight...

But with the light and the fight, life is a challenging beautiful blast!!!

The balloon I liked!

I just wanted that purple balloon, Yes that one, It looks so pretty, a perfect size, With long silk string, Yes I bought it I played with it all day I showed it to all my friends I was so proud When held that purple balloon.

I was so sure that it was the best There cannot be anything more beautiful Because I always choose the perfect things I smiled, when I saw the purple shine

One day I heard the vendor again I did not bother I had the best balloon tied in my balcony He went

Then one day I saw It was smaller than it had been N the shine had reduced too Why the hell I bought this one The one which my neighbour bought Never loses the air His orange one will always shine And now I fancy that colour too! It looks so bright and cheerful, Purple is dark and dull!

I am waiting for the vendor Staring at the balloon How can the same thing make me so miserable That once used to make me so excited Is it the balloon or my mind That decide whether i smile! -p.t.

Grounding

Give me a reason

A reason to live...

Is it the sunshine

Or just chatter

Of wherever you live...

Is it a dream of

Going to

A place in your scrapbook

Perhaps its excitement

Of buying

That thing you had looked

Maybe a road trip

With best friends

You are looking up to

Or a weekend 

With the family

Camping in the woods

Rather its simpler

Just praying

To find our true love

And then experiencing

Adventures

Everything under the sun

Whether its just laughter

And teasing

And playing fun games

Or just to travel

Risk the unknown

Find what the heart craves

What is it that grounds you

To this patch of the heath

I wish I could just find

My reason

So I’d stop thinking of death!

Slant

Why do you want the sun to rise each day

Let the stars show their light all day

Get into your pajamas and go to the office

Atleast your grumpy boss would laugh for once

Why to search for the car keys every morning

The roads would reveal their treasures when you walk with them

Why to let your feet suffocate in the darkness

Let them feel the excitement of the icy floor

Your regular meals do keep you fit

But a cup of tea with a stranger can give you a friend for life

I know you are no dancer,

Close the door, turn on the music, lose control and get consumed

Break free of your routine

Embrace the change and rebel at every convention

When you make love with the uncertainty,

You fetch the seeds of miracle!

Those Ants

Today it was different They weren't in their usual line; All guided and taught; Walking carefully one after another. Ants were running here and there They were scattered, They had forgotten their way, Or had opted to choose their own. They dashed with the wood, Now and then And took the turn wherever they could They can be smashed They can be lost They may starve They may not see their loved ones again No, they can't read maps And no one will tell the way Still atleast one would reach Where it can stay!
