He wore a Mask

He wore a mask of Cheerfulness

Just as we wear those fake smiles,

To hide the frustrations that seems inevitable

And tries to calm his flimsy heart,

Which is forced to enter into the realm of darkness.

I have seen him several times lost in his thoughts,

I bet he is suffering from love sick

I can see those eyes covered with tears,

I heard him scream, I saw him going insane

how bad would he be feeling?

He met a girl supposed to be from heaven he says

but it all proved just another story

To feel better he wears his mask of bliss

Just to fool himself of his doomed love.

There is a room filled with shadows

he says he is afraid of those evils inside

they threatens him to trap inside

he is afraid; he may be the next prey.

He says, he prayed so much for this to last long.

Curiosity forces him to look deep in her eyes

what once was bliss has changed

and the world seems problematic,

He wishes to pass his past

He desires to make her true

But he wonders if she will ever be true.

Those endless talks still lingers in his mouth

those ceaseless chats are still fresh in his mind

but his kismet was not esteeming his love,

she never understood the intensity of his love.

But he admits, it is not her fault either

he says he failed to prove his faithfulness,

he failed to convince his love for her,

his unbiased love is defeated gloomily.

As I move North

As I gaze outside,
I see myself getting closer.
With winds blowing, so fast
I feel frightened.
so, to ease my flimsy mind
I try to get sleep which seems inconceivable
for I am excited to see home.

Journey seems traceless
but my mind is set for the target.

As I move north
I feel safe,
it keeps me reminding that I am on my way
As I move, further
I feel colder, signifying home,
Home that I have longed for days.

When the train stops on station
I see people with patient less faces
wanting all to hop in
Now and then, we see seller’s
with sweets, tea, fruits and cold drinks and so on,
shouting their possession to be passed on
as I grape one and swallow
it gives me the fervour to stay awake

With each passing second
I feel closer
my nerve gets the information
that I am not much far from home.

Thoughts are surrounded by parents,
my love escorts them
with my sisters awaiting together
I dream my family standing there,
and all I need is to be there, together.

My another Mother

I feel blessed to have you,
With all those love and care for me,
Heaven gifted me with another mother,
I feel safe, secured and protected.

I have seen our mother in you,
You have inherited everything of our mother,
You remind me of her,
I feel like having another mother,
Yes, I do have two mothers,
and I bow to you both and ask you for your eternal love and care.

From toe to head,
From heart to brain,
I see mother in you,
It is needless to admit that you resemble her,
For you are my second mother.

The looks, the manners and everything,
Just reminds me of our mother.
I love you my sister,
You have always been the best answer.

I thank you with all my heart,
I might have been rough in times,
But you made things much simple
You were my best friend, my best sister and my another mother,
I love you so much.
