All week you survive through corporate commitments;

It’s tiring and lifeless as it sounds…

You are a physicalist who works on virtual platforms

It’s always a fight for you to get through 5 days of mundane…

You just live only 2 days by being physically active!

The way you eagerly wait for weekends makes me jealous

Unfortunately, I met you at the place you hate the most

I am part of your frustrating mundane

Though I share easily 35 hours a week with you

I want to be a part of your glorious and joyous weekends

Without sulking on your office chair,

Being active and light on your feet,

You drive, climb, jog, jump, dive and hop through your weekends;

Just the spark in your eyes looking into your weekends

Makes me long to be your weekend…

To my sanity, 10 hours of memorable moments of your weekend are enough,

Rather than 35 hours of just physical existence…

That’s the irony of you and me:

You count every time-boxed physical and tangible moments

I only count those abstract and emotional moments of timelessness!

Indeed, opposite poles hold the unfathomable mysteries to each other

I am wonderstruck of your unexplainable actions, values and weirdness;

Obsession continues…

Cutie Patootie

Judged you so badly and wanted my judgement to be true:

Just an empty sport with a spur of youth – Shallow and sleazy;

Yet another modern menace!

Wondered why I was instinctively drawn to you?

You revealed as an Edgar Allen Poe’s poem:

Line by line you shine in different shades

Still a mystery to be deciphered…

Never wanted you to grow on me

Yet you look more beautiful day by day…

Indeed, Nicholas Sparks spark the flicker:

Never imagined you to be a reckless romantic soul lurking beneath…

Wonder after wonder you are: How come a classicist are you? Jane Austen! Jules Verne!

Hopelessness dragged you to futility of War affairs though!

You glow in your aura of sportsmanship:

Discipline is the valued possession of a sportsman:

You persevere through to retain the speed and agility…

Indeed, following your passion rubs me a lot!

Yet you scare me with your masks,

With your shallowness of ‘out of sight out of mind’,

With your dark secrets and grey shades,

With your nonchalant and self-sabotaging habits!

Know not the Universal Agenda:

You did bring back life in me – anger, joy and sorrow, indeed!

Never want to slip back into nothingness and numbness anymore…

If harmlessly holding on to you helps my survival

Why not?!?
