Hitchhiker's tale

Ramblings from today...It feels great to update after so long.

I hop from one to the other
to reach, where the lady is waiting.
I drink from the milk of human kindness
and I drink hard
to get drunk
but my feet won't stagger,
I won't fall,
I won't throw up.
I have a lady waiting
I have to go on.

I enjoy the sights,
all that the road has to show.
Green and concrete,
Old and new.
but I am not lost in history
nor in philosophy.
I have a lady waiting
I have to go on.

Diary of an A-League Girl


Day 1-
Ah! he pines away the night,
while I, his thoughts,
stay impervious to him, in my world.
As neutral to him,
as neutral can be.
Amused at his love -
so unrewarding and hopeless.
Sympathetic....
Sympathetic - nothing else.

Day 20-
He looks at me funnily,
longing dripping off his eyes.
I pretend not to see him,
his face, his sad drooping eyes.
Poor soul,
so hopeless and waste-
Why dream of stars
you know, you'll never get!

Day 101-
And he never looked at me,
whole day,
I passed by him thrice.
The hypocrite -
he had promised to love me
all his life.
Any way, it doesn't matter
I am way beyond his league!

Day 120-
Hey, its a month now
and he didn't look at me -
not one day.
I know it for a fact coz
I was looking at him
all these days!
What does he think of him, that moron,
the vile, wretched man.
So, suddenly his love is over?
that lying, ass of a man.
Its good, I could see through him
didn't fall for any of his lies.
What do I care?
Oh no, I don't.
He is just a dumbass,
vile, wretched man.

a drunk man

Dedicated to one of my drunk friend at a certain drunken night.

And the night
he gulped a bottle down,
the galleries trembled
at his madness.
the stairways swayed with him.
His rocking motion,
to and fro.
No mortal soul dare come near him-
No man, no dog
and not even a fly.
The moon hid back in terror,
even stars trembled at his sight.
The night he gulped the bottle down
he looked a man possessed -
exorcists were called.

the saddest love story


It was the saddest of them all-
the stories of love
that ever were writ,
except she never once had said
Oh dear, I love you.
