Adding on eternal memories,
Plotting against our solidarity with much needed jives,
Pacing along in our times of joy as well as the miseries,
Yielding many a moment to be found in our life’s archives.
Finding them is never so hard,
Reach out the moment when it simply clicks,
Initiate a journey where one can be a lil crazy and off guard,
Enjoy the differences as the time ticks,
Notching up a different experiences on our life’s card,
Defeat obstacles that life conjures up as its own tricks,
Stand up for craziest of their wishes,
Holding back doesn’t seem an option in this bond of trust,
Induce strength to this one of the very important life’s bridges,
Prevailing the tests of time and won’t simply rust.
Deepen these ties which break our monotony every single time,
Abound life’s adventures with this family which we have chosen,
Yanking away our fears along with whom have added a new melody to our life’s rhyme.
P.S. : Just add up first alphabet of every line 
Be present in my every inclination,
Ask my every breath and pray tell,
Who is responsible for this wonderous annexation?
But is it real or just my mind’s façade?
Are you there or not?
Can this be indeed be possible?
Surely, destiny didn’t have this in my plot.
You seem to be paving my every path,
The mediator between sleep and my eyes,
Spending time with you seems incoherent,
It comes to standstill and yet somehow flies.
You easelessly latch onto my every moment,
Becoming the reason for every smile,
Keep on asking myself whether this is indeed real,
Or just my heart’s elaborate beguile?
Long forestanding wishes of this heart are met,
How is now destiny hearing my silence?
Deep seeded wishes it has started to abet.
This madness that brought me closer to you,
Your mercy became my obsession,
My luck turned owing to this madness,
Being in your love, my only expression.
Time moved on, ever so slowly,
Simmering in these fervid times,
Triggering a burning desire,
Resonating on a million rhymes.
The moment has spoken,
You gained my unconditional acceptance,
Nothing now remains usual,
Every moment is a new transcendence.
Words of her praises playing around on the tip of my tongue,
A playful passion that resides in my eyes,
So many of these memoirs that remain forever young.
I remember the turbulent times,
When she suddenly shyly receded just as she was coming close,
Her every last impression,
My mind has thereon been caught in its repose.
The resonant cry from my heart,
Connects itself in every day melodies,
As if it is continually subdued,
Against my mind, it would commit a million felonies.
This frenzied mind now waits for the chain of events,
Wherein my heart’s yearning would affect her,
Wherein she also burns a little,
In this rampant fire in which my heart smoulders.
For the shortest instance of time,
Yet bring about the most drastic of changes,
Just as a song stays with you cos of an unforgettable line.
One senses the winds of change,
The positive energy just flows,
Making every misplaced thoughts and tensions disappear,
Filling one up from the head to the toes.
Time never matters in these relations,
Just the mere acceptance of both the sides,
It becomes an exceptional journey,
Strengthened in those unmistakable laughs through life’s rides.
They never tried to carve themselves into your hearts,
They just left those soft yet intangible footprints,
In the sands of our hearts and minds,
Which one protects more dearly than their own imprints.
In the end, one can be only thankful,
That they graced our lives,
Those small moments, those trivial pranks,
Have truly made it the time of our lives.
The time has really flown,
Somethings sink in deeper,
Than our flesh, our mind, down to the bone.
One listened to numerous ramblings,
While the other encouraged enormous zeal,
One shared the calmness and the patience,
The other brought in his charisma and nerves of steel.
With both I shared an immense passion for music,
Both increased my friendship sphere,
Our concurrency brought about many an event,
And many a memory to cheer.
As now all of us head on our paths,
These moments remain engraved in mind,
If ever given the option,
Without a single thought, I would gladly rewind.
You became my sorrow,
You became my yesterday,
Became my tomorrow.
Yes, I started changing,
Found myself falling and steadying myself again and again,
Since the time I have known you,
Found myself drawn to you and simply could not abstain,
On every journey, at every place,
Your presence seemed irrefutable,
My atheistic self found itself at a paradox,
My own beliefs weakened and unstable.
Now, even the people falter in finding my loneliness,
Keep on trying to find your shade in me,
Whatever I had searched throughout my life,
You fulfilled that and changed my life’s destiny.
With some usual and some unusual turns,
Now in hibernation turning to dormancy,
As it had delivered one of the most uncanniest of burns.
A trivial nonchalant argument,
Which seemed just like a daily fuss,
But what relayed afterwards seemed like a silent storm,
Taking away everything, leaving nothing to discuss.
The silence lingers, days turning to weeks,
Rubbing off my conscience on its every single thought,
Still puzzled and unsure of what to do next,
This wasn’t any part of the plot.
Subtle hints didn’t work,
The “Cold War” seems to thrive,
Conscience continues to sting,
Dunno how to end this vicious drive.
Was there somewhere I slipped,
Or go past the “point of no return” sign?
Just dread to know now,
Whether this is the end of the line?
Where one can make a very feeble impression,
And get confused on whether to be happy or sad,
And be tormented by a heartening depression.
A world where before the storm rises,
There exists a cloud of deafening silence,
Where people wear so many shades of perspectives,
That in the name of peace, they resort to violence.
A world of so many noises,
That we forget our heart’s silent scream,
Lost in the confusion of so many things,
Not knowing whose importance is the least and which is supreme.
A world where when you try to amuse,
All you get is an angry smile,
All those people whom you thought to be undeceiving,
Just turned out to be so beguile.
A world where a momentary slip-up,
For eradication from people’s minds, takes an “eternal moment”,
A fumble’s all the difference,
Between a friend and a friendly opponent.
A world where people burn with jealousy’s fire,
Yet display the coldness in its supreme ire,
Same people appear cheap and expendable now,
Who sometime back as precious as sapphire.
A world where there’s always the silence,
Before the drum rolls of anger’s thunder,
Its aim is so accurate,
But, mostly targeted wrongly, becomes a irrecoverable blunder.
A world so full of colours,
Yet we search for shades of darkness and black,
Where love and kindness are superfluous,
But, in our own perspective it seems to lack.
]]>Pondering over my next move,
There was so much more to discover,
Much more to prove.
Two ways lay side by side,
Yet as different as the night and the day,
Each had its own benefits,
And sure enough, had its own price to pay.
The question that lingered was of the risk,
One path lay simple,flat and straight,
The other, narrow surrounded by deep crevices,
The first one assured completion, the other something great.
The past came back to haunt me,
A similar crossroad had left me scarred,
The risk then had kept me content for a while,
But then a small slip and it left me tainted and marred.
Then I looked the other way,
A simple route and the destination in view,
Just needed to keep going on,
And I would surely reach there the same, nothing new.
Now I weigh out the options, assurance vs reward,
Too long I have been in the no-risk lane,
Time to let go of my past, my fears, my worries,
Time to take on these crevices and ravines once again.
