My Best Friend!

I sat in the corner of Class 12
Just before the last row
An rider written on the board
I looked out of the window, clearly bored

Bird chirping in the tree near me
I wonder about the day
Seven more hours to go
I am tempted to call sick and leave

Suddenly I hear a voice behind me
Enquiring my name
I keep looking out
Pretending to be on my own

The bell goes at ten past nine
I close my note, curiosity won
Turning around I look at you
Just to see you looking straight at me

I hardly react
You say 'hi' and shook my hand
I say 'hello', I don't even smile,
I turn back, opening my notebook again

Two days go by
You speak to everyone meanwhile
I change my place to sit behind you
Thinking I should say 'hello' again

Everyday then, you turn back to say 'hi'
Donno why I could nt talk back to you
But I smiled back this time
And I realise, a month had gone by

Knowing it was your birthday tomorrow
On my way back home
I stopped and roamed inside a gift shop
Wondering what to buy

Next day morning,
Relentless, you greet me with your usual 'hi'
I wish you happy birthday
And hand you the card

You smile at me for the first time
Clearly surprised, with pure delight
I was the only one who remembered
And that's how we became best friends, and still remain.

Connecting People

Standstill, I look to my right

Subtle Romance

Handsome guy, beautiful girl

Shining with the circle of trust

I smile - 'Youth'

Standstill, I look left

He embodies 'Atlas'

Worry lines creasing his forehead, He shruggs

But He has not given up yet

I feel - 'Family'

I move now, only to be stopped again

By the kid waving at me,

Making faces at me

Wanting me to play with her

I wave back - 'Innocence'

Standstill again,

My feet turns numb,

My eyes hurt,

I want to move on,

I can't - 'Still Red'

Helpless, I start singing

"A little less conversation, little more action"

Minutes pass by

I look around

I'd brought a smile to everyone around - 'Green'.

A/S/L

I was from Mars

You were from Venus

Met you in earth

In a dilapidated corner of cyberspace

Your intriguing gaze pearced me

My heart was in havoc

I felt alive

And you felt real.

You had the most expressive eyes

Your gaze held mine

I didn't blink in fear-

Fear of losing you

We moved like the wind

Dusk closing, sky drizzling, breeze kissing

Bodies sandwitched

Minds married

Moments lasted

Your soul was mine And mine yours

Alas! I blinked

Not once, but twice

I was still in earth

Sweat dripping, Eyes blinded by the bright light

Perched on a chair and my head on the table

I finally focused on e=mc^2

Dawn approaching, I sat up straight

i was 17, And I had the most sweetest dream,

Eversince, I go to sleep every night, wishing!!

The Road Not Taken...

One Sunday morning I-
Built my first invention
Eureka! It was a beautiful
My dream come true.


Everyday then, I walked
Head held high; Back ramrod straight
Basking n the glory,
Heart swelled with Pride


Dawn & Dusk passed by
Saw my friends chase-
Chased the scores I ignored
And I drew new designs


I built more & more
Dreams upon Dreams
Never did I know
It had a fateful end


End came swiftly one day
Because, when two roads diverged in the woods
I took the one less lonely
And that has made all the difference.
