Nostalgia

I miss those days

When the only real heartbreak I went through was on page 499 of Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince, when Harry kissed Ginny.

When rains meant running outside to play, not worrying about how my hair would deal with water.

When crying was the solution to everything, literally.

When eating was not a problem but a pleasure.

When mirrors were for making funny faces not for grimacing over the extra pounds that people did not miss to point at.

When make up was what I did with my sibling after having had a spat with him.

When the best toys were stationary objects around whom whole entire story-lines could be created.

When growing out of clothes was a moment of pride and not concern.

When hurting yourself while playing was about getting well, not about whether the wound would leave a scar.

When cartoons taught me so much more that grown-up shows did.

When skate-boards were in trend not hover-boards.

When PC games were the be all and end all of gaming systems. And all that mattered was if the graphic card was up to date.

I miss those days so badly.

A Rogue Planet

Each step ahead or each step behind,
Darkness drives through on for miles,
Dense and thick, the air is maligned,
With evil eyes and frosty smiles.

Breathe or not, I shift, I falter,
Being devoured by the dark shadows,
All I hear is their sinister laughter,
All I feel is their noxious blows.

Yet, at home I feel with those red eyes,
Those fangs, those horns, those hooves;
Eat my soul, but they wear no guise,
Just debauchery and no unforeseen moves.

Drawing the illusion to light is fearsome,
When the presumable play turns to blood for pleasure,
When the shadows meet with their masked dorsum,
They might as well be dacoits and I, the treasure.

So why take a step, go deeper inside,
In the search for a light that leads to hell?
It’s dark and damp and distressful where I hide,
But it’s better than the sound of…

Life That’s Not For Me

Imprisoned inside a skeleton of grief,

Masked with a false sense of belief,

That one day there’s somewhere happy to be,

Is a life that’s not for me.

Where I am naught but a crutch for some,

Feasting on their leftover crumb,

Burning to death so they can see,

Is a life that’s not for me.



Serving no purpose, just a dying sun,

Losing all hope, one by one,

From the gaze of Dark Angel, flee

Is a life that’s not for me.

And yet I breathe, I smile, I cry,

Urge my myself to have an empathetic eye,

All this can’t change this reality:

Life, that’s not for me.
