Sometimes, I wonder...















Woke up to the call of a dull afternoon,
An afternoon in the plains,
While, my heart yearned for the hills

As I looked outside my window,
A tender fall of a raindrop catches my eye.
Like a scene from a half dreamt dream;
Like a poem in the making,
It speaks…

With a still gaze, I try to soak it all in
The assortment of greens, reds and pinks in my garden,
A solitary white flower blooming in the wind,
Birds chirping one at a time, occasionally joining into a duet
The fading in and out sound of a hovering airplane,
Adding that tint of urban culture to this isolated fancy world of mine…

This single moment,
A union of so many voices;
The coming together of so many stories...

Yes, this ordinary life.
A coexistence of worlds that run in parallel
With or without, our knowing

Sometimes, I wonder…
Don’t you wonder too?

Only one win matters...


Fragments build up within,
A sudden surge of energy fuels my soul
The walls, they want to melt away and let out these waves, 
Is it an explosion that awaits? 

Maybe, these are just noises and mere noises.
An on and off spell of calmness;
Showers of love and harmony. 

An equilibrium, I can't keep up with,
It keeps disappearing when I try to touch,
Is it my touch or am I just chasing a bubble? 
The bubble is fragile, not me. 

What I seek is hiding somewhere in a maze.
Oh the games, there are too many!
Only one win matters...

Now, I choose between the rights and lefts, 
My choices, my moves.
Play, play, play, 
Till the master move emerges 
And breaks down this stalemate. 
  
Only one win matters, 
To crack open the heart of possibilities,
So play, till you find the key. 
Play, till you see the maze vanish away...
