What's your story?

There has been a question killing me every time I look at a face, eyes which glare with passion, lips which speak pain. This face comes in forms of a hungry little boy,a glance of a pretty girl,a smile lingering on a boy's face on a lonely road. :What's Your Story?:
What is their story,how different is their life from mine,is their pain similar to mine and their happiness? Do I experience the same magnitude of happiness and love as they do? But I'm making peace with the fact that I can never know their stories even if their faces flash in my head when I close my eyes every night. So, I decided that in the world of my thoughts,I'd save instances from these stories. Maybe one day I'd make head or tail out of it. Maybe one day, I would actually understand what people actually mean and how they cross each others path and maybe one day, I would understand their stories. The stories that they'll never tell me. Here is one such instance, that my head will grow used to.

I took tired steps down the sheltered pathway and this couple grabbed my attention. In the middle of the road, they stood in each others' arms. I could tell when the broke away,that it was a tough separation. I walked closer to them, and they looked back at each other. She turned,he turned and they looked at each other at once. There was this moment I believed in love and destiny,like you can actually feel the presence of the person around you,like you can hold on to loads of memories and then judge a pattern and get used to it,like getting used to each other and their habits. I walked ahead and the girl brushed past against me. She looked me in the eye,her eyes swollen and her face red with emotion. I could instantly feel her vibe of sorrow,but she could only feel my stare. A stare which might have seemed judgy. I tried following the boy,he walked with hands in his pockets,turned back a few more times but she was gone,briskly waded through other couples and then disappeared into the crowd. He faded and their story in my head lingered for long. I didn't know why they were separated,I didn't know what was bothering them, I didn't even know how the boy felt about the separation,but the atmosphere was filled with heartbroken-feels and I could see it seep inside me.



Imagination can do magic,magic that never existed. I might be over-thinking the whole thing,but I don't understand what I shouldn't Imagination is truly something I would love to depend on,when I'm getting old and boring. So yeah,there was separation. Looks can be deceiving, but what the heart sees is greater than anything else.

Losing you.

Paint me a picture with your words
An echo I can hear beyond the oceans
Sing me a melody full of pain
A tune I'll hum when we're miles away
Write me a letter with your sweat
A fistful of hard work close to my heart
Hold out your hand in the darkest of nights
An assurance that I'll keep going forever
Call out my name with utmost passion
A whisper to string the love in my heart
Cradle my head in the warmth of your chest
A stolen heartbeat I'd hear for a lifetime
Instead,you choose to disappear.
To break me over and over again.
A dream left unreal,a song forever unsung.
Your breath,your hazel eyes,your prominent presence
Lost,all lost.Leaving being a promise.
Revive your soul,your dead soul
A rebirth,I am counting on
Paint me a picture with your words
An echo so strong that in my head,everything's messed up.

Heart-Breaker.

Daylight sets in the perfect mood
For confessions and dreary tunes
A gleeful long drive in your car
Stretched out,wasted and naive,we look
You look at me making sense out of a teddy
Leaving your city,now disappearing in the rear view mirror
We drive along roads long,clean and green
And munch upon my favorite salsa treat
In a while we feel exhausted and numb
So we leave the car,for warm fresh air
Sunburns on our skins,already unevenly tanned
We scan the sky for signs of rest
I lie on the bonnet of the bridal-red car
Letting the warmth seep deep into my chest
You turn to me,playing your black guitar
Unknowingly,singing my favorite Country tune
As I do a little jig and leap into happiness
You hold my moist,sweaty warm palm
The look in your deep black eyes
Says it all,says you need me,says I'm your all
But what can I do? I'm not meant for you
You didn't come with a tag which said 'MINE'
My sorry teary eyes look right into yours
Apologizing helplessly like it's all my fault
You offer me your heart in a silver-plated box
I say,I mean we after all wouldn't last
Because we can not stand the test of time
And we can not last in the bright moonlight
We can not,can not be forever one
I'm not made for you,and you too are not.
I do not want your heart,I also can't see it broken
But I'd rather break it than throw it away
I'd rather let you go,than hold you close to nothingness
So I step aside and the fluent music in your eyes halt
Abruptly,like we ended and slowly
The warmth of your smile disappears.
The aura of your presence dies...
I know,I know I'll never have you back
I know,I know I've broken your heart.
You drive away and I stay there
Still looking into the sky for signs of relief.

So don't give up..

Admiration.

Like spoken word poetry flowing through a crowd to touch hearts
Like emotional speeches on a farewell day
Like vanilla ice-cream with chocolate sauce on a hot afternoon
Like best friends 2-hour-long conversations over the phone
Like lonely pleasures in rereading your favorite poem
Like dreamy skies and nostalgic late night chats
Like people who speak in accents and through silent gestures
Like helping hands for tedious work
Like praises for your immense talent
Like beauty of a graceful dancer
Like long drives on unforgettable nights

There is a reason why I love cute people, because their presence makes everything seem brighter and better.

To them,to you and all you beautiful readers. Stay cute, be sweet, make me live a little more.:)

Freshness

Still dew drops glittery,transparent on the leaf node
The sunlight cast back colourless white yet retaining its impact mapping a rainbow on its concave surface
Early morning fog sheds away as sunbeams fall upon the blossoming violet flowers
The aroma of hot choco-coffee flows across the house
Interlacing the essence of the breaking dawn with the beauty of the colorfulness of a new-born life
Like the reddish-pink,ochre,fair skinned cheek of a baby curled up in her mother's arms,not letting go of the warmth of her closeness
Happiness like the deep red blush of a newly-wed, truth like putting together the broken pieces of shattered glass, togetherness like the desirous red atmosphere in front of the furnace in the adorned uncertain home of a honeymooning couple, love like puppy Boo's first glance in the morning..
Newness is the air,freshness in every breath.
A new start,a beautiful one indeed.
