For I am Dead For Her

-
Aloof from her, hid my tears
Left alone, she was there
At her house
I was there, near her house.

Light was there, even in the darkest night
Song was there, even in the melancholic sights
The past haunted me,
The present never left me
Future was a distant call.

She had passed those days,
Alone,
For I was with fire.
I was dead for her, but I was alive
In her heart
In my heart.

 There were mere people
With me
But I would be left alone.

 The fires would die out,
I would be peeping at her.
She would be gazing,
But neither of us talk, nor smile,
She would be shedding those drops.

 I have a cloth,
But alas! It's of no use.
For I am dead for her,
For I am dead for you.

I Had To Leave Her Back, Somewhere

-
I Had To Leave Her Back, Somewhere After a long span, I came back to my home. Home, sweet home!  I was doing some assignments in the afternoon, and suddenly out of nowhere, my mother entered the home, with a small girl. The little child was too happy. Her incisors were indicative of the amount of happiness that she was feeling, meeting new people. I just smiled back - I was too busy completing the assignment.  "What had you for lunch?" asked my mother. "Water - rice" she replied and smiled. "Ony water-rice? Nothing else?" "No. Only water-rice" (How could someone have only water-rice as lunch? LOL!) "Ok, so tell me where did you live before coming back to our neighborhood?" "In Dhenkanal" "Where in Dhenkanal?" "There is a locality named Bhubaneswar in Dhenkanal, we lived there." (Dhenkanal is a different district in Odisha state. And Bhubaneswar is the capital. Bhubaneswar in Dhen...

Drifting

"Are we done then?" she dreaded asking, knowing that, given the situation and everything that had happened recently, there was an actual probability that the answer would be affirmative. Like most things, it started from something naive and escalated to something big. A planned weekend trip to Les Avants is precisely what both needed to escape life, particularly the work-related events over the past week. The itinerary was to arrive in Montreux in the morning, take the Golden Pass Panoramic train, do a few hikes and return in the evening - it couldn't be more straightforward. Tickets were bought the night before, and the bags were packed with snacks, two large bottles of water, and, of course, the camera. "My goodness, it is half past nine!" she exclaimed when she woke up. She observed that he had already been awake for quite some time since breakfast was in the kitchen, and he was not in the house. He had said several times before that he would leave if she de...

Dear Crush ('Dear' series : Ep 02)

-
Dear Crush (Tip - Follow the spacing between paragraphs!) (Also please try to answer in the comments below) Fine Monday Morning. I was going through my college books. Covered with dust. I was actually searching for a book that could help my son to understand a concept better. A letter suddenly fell down. I picked it up. There was something scribbled on it -  1. I suffered from heavy toothache. 2. I wanted to meet a doctor. 3. Met with a nurse. 4. Talked about pain. 5. She smiled, went away to call the doctor, giving hope. 6. What remained? Me, my increasing pain. Nostalgia hit hard. To all my dearest people, including her, I wish to provide some insight into my thoughts of one evening, three days prior to writing this letter. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I was standing near the wall. To be specific, in one corner of the floor. I was simply waiting for the people insi...
