Can't breathe 
Can't sleep 

 There is a lump in her throat 
That just wouldn't  go

 Why doesn't  he answer 
The messages she lovingly  sent

 Her  love 
She sees him online 

 Yet when when she starts typing
He disappears from view

 He was always there for her 
So patient and understanding

 Ever since they had met
On facebook.com

 She could contact him anytime 
And see him typing back

 This lasted one whole year
The bliss was beyond words

 He was her whole world 
She needed no one else

 What had happened  now
God! Did he find someone  else?

 He stopped coming  online  
At their usual  times 

 He stopped reading her messages
Seeming not to mind

 Her hands stopped in mid air
Her head felt very light

 Her brain said it was her very soul 
That had sailed out in the night

 He had blocked her!
Oh,he had blocked her!

 She just couldn't believe  it
That he had actually  blocked her!

 She fast opened her WhatsApp 
Her hands all a tremble

 His last seen  was not visible 
His dp was blank

 How could he do this
How cruel could he be

 He was her life
She had given him her very soul

 She sat still; debating 
Should  she give him  a call

 Or hold her ego
And pretend she was fine

 Her heart cracked wide open
Blood oozing into her guts

 She was not herself  that day
She sat immobile  in class

 With her body giving attendance 
And her mind dead in shock 

 She held on till evening 
Not giving  him a call

 Let him not think she cared
Cared enough to give him a call!

A Chance Encounter

He sat across the seat The man in the train I stole a quick glance And found his eyes on me I looked away quickly Not wanting to smile Yet his rough-hewn stubbly face Caught my fancy just fine I sat quite nonchalant My eyes glued to the window He sat there looking at me  Eyes so soft and tender I moved not a muscle I sat as still as stone Feeling my heart warm up Not wanting to break the spell Suddenly I turned my head And looked him straight in the eye My eyes bold, shot a warning Daring him to stare He moved his eyes quickly And sat looking out I sat feeling a bit lost Did I really matter so little? I did not look at him again I did not mend the thread There were loftier things in life So get over this trivial tryst He slowly stretched his legs Wearily, the journey did seem long His legs now lay on either side Close, yet not touching mine I sat in the safe enclosure My legs could feel the warmth ...

Laughter

I laugh at inappropriate times Much to my mortification I laugh, a weak laughter When I truely mean to cry At times, in great anger When I attempt to snarl I break out into giggles Much to my opponents indignation I laugh in confusion I laugh in genuine fear Yet when I hear some jokes My laugh seem to need some coaxing How I do not know But at some happy times When my heart laughs in joy My eyes just tear up My laughter has a mind of his own He does not listen to me He wells up unbidden I capitulate in resignation !

Heartfelt

I went searching one day To the realm of my heart To seek out the chambers Where memories lay Twilight lay enticingly on the way  A twinkle marked the entrance ahey I stepped into the first chamber, sombre and grey The ventilator clouded, letting in barely a ray Holding my breath, curiously aware Of the slightest changes in the lair  I moved my eyes slowly, taking care To catch every sway of the heavy air  Seeing a wraith of my yester years One I had wronged? Or was I the  wronged one then? So went wisdom of after thought. The lies, the deceit The painful heartbreaks The guilt, the remorse The tear filled goodbyes All human follies Laid bare to the bone Bittersweet; yet all mine own Lay strewn around; forlorn I looked at them carefully Waiting to fend a stab of pain A minute , then two, and feeling fine I walked out not caring to linger long Making sure to keep open the door  Let in the air, cool and fresh Let there be light Let in the warmth Walking out with a ...
