Sweet Escape

Pour toi mon amour,
I write a sweet serenade,
For your ever honeyed words fall soft on my ears,
Human so gorgeous, a treat to the eyes,
Your creator I'd worship day and night,
Caught in this embrace of love,
Are embers in my heart,
Glowing and calm- like an undying love,
A strange yearning from the first day I laid my eyes,
Upon your two black marbled wonders,
Stare so soft, yet intense as a landslide,
The sound of your soul,
Like the broken, beautiful tune of an old piano,
Tugging on the strings of my spirits, Playing a melody- oh so familiar!,
And somewhere in heaven above,
Or maybe just inside my heretic heart,
Are dancing angels,
Chirping birds,
Bright auroras,
Such an ecstacy!!- tears falling down,
The entire being falling,
Falling in love with you...

Echo from the abyss

I lay here looking above at the swirling fan,
I close my eyes,
Now counting the number of mermaids swimming in the ocean,
Vast and deep like my emotions,
Each wave, a rush of seething pain
//
Somewhere stuck in an abyss,
Seeking a light long gone,
Is a part of me I try to part away from,
Dark like a night and cold as ice,
Trying so hard to break away from,
Yet it clutches my hand,
A tight grasp, my chest is heaving,
Tears rolling down,
Blinking through the pain, the tears, the blinding darkness,
Tunneling down a long channel,
Almost giving in,
Yet still fighting,
Struggling so hard to break free from this prison,
Calling out to a help so heartless, screaming until my throat burns out,
'What do you seek?' it asks softly,
Annoyed at my futile efforts to escape,
'Redemption' I cry out...
//
Still lying down,
Count at 234 mermaids now,
I can't sleep, should I start counting sheeps?
And what goes around and around in my mind,
Is the only question- how do I save myself from me?

City of lights and colours

Today was a really fun day full of laughter and positive vibes! Before I start, I want to assert that I have no intention of filling this blog with diary entries. It has always been and shall always be restricted to poems and prose.
Yet there are times when I'm too lazy to write in my journal so instead I type on this blog app which eventually ends up being a post (that I guiltily publish)
Since holi and our exams are approaching our Sir decided to throw a light breakfast for us. Quoting him 'Please stay after class. Bcom and holi ke khushi mei we are going to have breakfast' bcom ki khushi mei???... Everyone started laughing, heartedly at first, but very soon there was a hint of nervousness in those laughs when people realized what was coming. Now being CA students, we don't give two hoots to bcom, a course (as considered by us) designed for losers. Although in the end when it comes to the results we are ones who end up being losers since we don't study for that 'so called easy peesy course'
After cracking really cliche jokes related to coaching treats and shamelessly body-shaming the healthy people of our class saying 'Tanya se bach ke. She has an eye on your gujia' we embarked on our way to our homes. Wait, no!, not before suffering from the torturous 1.5 hours accounts class!!!
So while we were walking in a group, we came across a little kid asking for money. I'm very embarrassed to say this, I'm mostly a nice and kind person but with friends I can be dark, really really dark. Whenever a kid approaches us to ask for money I usually say 'Bhai mere paas khud nahi hai auto ke liye. Tum mujhe dedo' and that's what I did again... Except this time the kid was probably high on some holi business cause he accompanied us for that 10 minute walk playing kabaddi and was not letting my friends pass. One time when he said to me 'Bhagwaan aapka bhala karega' one of my friends replied back 'Are bhai! she is an atheist' which got me laughing so much. Anyway, we finally got rid of him after buying some namkeen for him.
Afterwards while I was in the auto, scanning the buzzing surrounding and passing shops, I was quite surprised at the fact that the city had transformed overnight into a colourful mela! Just yesterday, everything was as normal as ever and today suddenly it was as if all these gulaal, AK-47 pichkaris, yummy mithai selling shops had magically appeared! In addition to that, there was an array of beautiful bulb lights hanging from the above ready to light up the usually-boring evening streets! Since I was wearing all black today I was quite chill with the idea that someone might throw colours on me, which unfortunately didn't happen. Better luck tomorrow Sharvi.
I feel like another reason why my Sir gave us a party was because BJP was leading. When I came back home, it had already won with a crazy majority. One of the other things which made my day and my father's as well. Today was a lucky day to go shopping since he bought everything for me that I asked him to saying 'you can have anything today since BJP won' although I didn't really use that opportunity well, all I bought were some crayons (I don't even know why! Think the retardation of my rabbit is rubbing on me too) my brother did play a smart move though and asked for permission to cook shahi paneer for all of us for dinner.
That was all for today. I have to study for those 'so called easy peesy exams' now
