A working man's thoughts

The man returned from work and fell fast asleep,
He dreamt of a beautiful childhood day.
The sun was bright and the cool breeze brisk.
The onset of spring was evident.
He dreamt of meeting his childhood friends. They had planned to go cycling together into the woods.
Life was a lot simpler then. No fear of losing the daily battles, no worries about what the future holds.
In his dream he met God. Unable to hold himself together, he asks, "God, how do I go back to those good old days?."
"Son", smiled God, "..use the gift of 'Dream' . "
Suddenly, a repetitive sound disturbed his sleep.
He checked his watch.
It's 6 a.m. Time to get ready for work.

She told me to go to sleep

She loved her, and so did he. It had been a while since they talked, They see each other; his throat aches, he doesn’t say a word, But how could he, the things he was going through! ‘He doesn't care.’, she thinks. He was a person whom she couldn’t be happy with. Maybe she was right. She tells him to go to sleep. Suddenly, he felt like a person with a rope around his neck, just on the brink of suffocation. He tries staying strong, he tries not giving in ‘He doesn't care.’, she thinks. He was a person whom she couldn’t be happy with. Maybe she was right. She tells him to go to sleep. The suffocation wasn’t new, but the distance was, Piercing through him, weakening him, every moment. He just wants to rest, but insomnia creeps in. ‘He doesn't care.’, she thinks. He was a person whom she couldn’t be happy with. Maybe she was right. She tells him to go to sleep.

A short Poem

Hi to all, this is a first in a series of short poems that I shall be writing over the course of the next few years. These are basically experiences, some real and some imaginary that I thought would be nice to pen down. Do let me know in the comments section below what you think about these. Enjoy!! (1) Footprints on the sand of time: A heartbreak She sat there, wailing and shouting at him over her phone, Why does he not care about her? Poor girl, maybe she loved him more than he deserved She had flown off to a far away land She had given her all to him And that day they talked, they talked and talked The boy in vain tries to explain his problems The boy tries his reasons, she listens to them. It was never that he didn’t love her He knew there couldn’t be anyone better. It was his attitude to life that had created the gaps. Perhaps she understood, perhaps she didn’t And then a while later, silence took over, time sto...

Farewell

Do you hear the fleeting 'Time'? Its chariot ceaselessly , giving rise to new impulses every moment? It gives rise to the first cry of a child from a mother's womb As if a nascent star, exploding into life from the deepest of cosmic darkness. My Friend, that same fleeting time, today grasps me in its tentacles, and draws me upon itself, towards a journey undefined far far further away from you . . . As if, the light of dusk today gradually melts into darkness; Having lost my identities along the trail I fade away into the distance. My Friend, . . . Farewell!

My First
