The Faltering Commitment

The Faltering Commitment

Not yesterday

not today

not anymore! 

I don't feel it;

the love we had,

if the truth be told!

Sometimes it takes,

a violent shake,

and sometimes,

a mere ripple,

can do the drama, 

the magic,

and disintegrate..

pull apart those fused souls!

I thought you were God,

godly or divine,

you ended up,

mysterious,

obnoxious,

this ravine!

Your stumbling,

hiding,

dishonesty,

brought me discomfort,

distrust and

misery! 

You thought you fooled me,

when you fooled around!

I felt critical, 

succumbed to the injuries

you caused to my soul!

Until a little while back,

in life, I felt,

an uncompromising

love,

a romantic story 

to tell!

Now I feel is my

inherently growing,

faltering commitment,

because you deserve 

pain,

while I deserved

truth!

The souls,

stories and fictional future

is dead!

Bookworm

I haven't been reading for a long time in history,
Haven't lived with characters, plots or ploys.

I haven't dreamt like a writer forever,
Haven't planned each move with minuscule detail.

I haven't felt betrayed by the writer's tricks,
My lover's magic or that villain's mischief!

I haven't played along in a while though,
Haven't smelt your withering pages.
I haven't felt the touch of you dear book,
Your letters making up those beautiful words.

I had kept you untouched on my shelf,
in my cupboard, out of sight. Forgive me!

Now its time, to reach out to you,
Your stories of fiction, and of love,
Its time to read you dear book,
feel your rhythm and rhyme along..

Open unto me a world of revelation,
each magnificent story, or a tragic mystery.
Blow me with your winds of glory,
Let me fly along with you,
reaching beyond this false glittering world,
where reality is fake and people unkind!
Make me a bookworm and feast on you dear book,
tonight and all nights to come!!

Silence of the soul

Silence,

is an adventure!

Its a valuable emotion,

entertaining your mind,

for the lovers of peace,

for all haters of kind!

It exposes you,

to ranges of mist,

smoking the memories out,

like pests from their hideouts!

Silence gives you scope,

a chance, an aim,

to introspect,

to reflect,

to imagine and

contemplate!

It gives you intention,

releases out inhibition,

eases your insecurity,

lifts your personality,

to someone who can

think and conclude,

plan and delude,

revive and find recluse,

in patience,

in peace,

and silent moments

of today!!

I seek some silence too for today!!

Yes, I do!!
