Years ago

At a hasty stage I was packing another luggage
the stuff was spread and I had just my courage
This time the tide was carrying me to a new shore
Will it be my final one? I was never too sure

In the sea of unrecalled souvenirs
I found something I had lost in years

This object must have a history
else why was it here in my repository
It didn't ring a bell but the grasp was too familiar

Was it mine or a stranger’s longing, this wasn't clear

A tiny touch and a tremor ran through my vertigo
It reminded me of something I dreamed years ago

The task was half-done but my mind was in abstraction
It went into a time when each object was hard earned

Favors to seek, promises to make and a debts to move

Will I be successful? I was yet to prove

In the struggle I had kept my memories in a cargo
All was packed which I liked years ago

Then like the Sisyphus I ran towards an unending trail
All was achieved but nothing real was retained
Absoluteness grasped me absolutely

I went ahead and left myself completely

Here I was between now and far to go
I just had a glimpse of Someone I used to be years ago

The Detached

We often meet characters who challenge our perspective towards life, they are the ones who are drifted from our vision of the world. A work dedicated to those who helped me build...

In an avalanche of emotions
response count can go into millions

Not always we receive an open invitation

But seldom we reject a generous solicitation

All was offered which could be found, 
but he was the one who didn’t turn around

Beyond the limits of the abilities unexplored 
best place to live is far from the serenity of the shore
Not always we encounter a blissful day
But seldom we realize that happiness isn't here to stay

When the moment of abundance dispensed his roof 
he was the one who didn’t move

Gratitude is given in all forms
but a thankless job is the one often around

Not always we turn our gaze from a sweet smile

But seldom we analyse the mystery behind

Taken away was all that had a ‘mine’ tag 
but he was the one who didn’t complain
