Coincidence

It was a rainy,

Cold, evening,

Was trying to match with him,

My thought tuning,

At one point of time,

Our tuning matched exact,

His thought was, as mine,

On our bike, we were on the track,

Speedometer showed,

Speed of bike, above par,

Which, went to zero,

At the door of heavenly bar,

With dry hearts,

And clothes drenched,

We stepped in the bar,

Beer to be quenched,

We sat on a table,

Lighted a cigar,

A face known long back,

Appeared at a distance far,

Smoke in the room,

Made my vision hazy,

Two mugs of beer down,

Making my mind lazy,

The face came,

Closer to me,

My heart pounded, thought,

“This was to be”,

Eyes told my mind,

That it was her,

Movement inside my heart,

Making my body stiffer,

Looking in my eyes,

She gave me a smile.

I got the message,

She wished to, talk for a while,

But all these years,

Living life alone,

Had made my heart,

Dead, hard as a stone,

She looked at me,

Said “hi” twice,

And my mind,

Then broke the ice,

Wit my ears, ignoring the sound,

I turned my face around,

‘Don’t do that’,

My friend said…

And I told him,

“Its time to move ahead”

When I Was Born

At the time when I was born,
I had no friends, no enemies,
Didn’t have any plans,
Nor had any memories,
All that I had was,
Empty space in my mind,
Didn’t know what it was,
To be cruel, to be kind,
I didn’t know what it was,
To be happy, or in pain,
Wasn’t even aware,
Of what was Loss, or gain,
It was a pleasant, numb,
Shapeless, flawless existence,
But as I grew up,
It lost its persistence,
More and more definitions,
Were added to my mind,
And the pure truth,
Became harder to find,
Differentiation became,
The basis of perceptions,
There were rules, and more rules,
But with exceptions,
The magnitude of complexity,
Went higher and higher,
The purpose of existence,
Flew higher and higher,
