Freefalling from the sky, I
Plunge down to death. My
Racing heart to a halt, But
Thoughts go on. Uncut

Life before me regretful, Unjust
My deeds, shameful! Robust
Feelings of my betrayal echo, For
My evil gets everybody’s dekko. More

To lose and then some! Repent
Caused by what I’ve done. Taint
Misery for kin I brought. I am
Not the guy they thought. I am

Freefalling from the sky, I
Plunge down to death. My
Racing heart to a halt, But
Thoughts go on!

Employee

Everything to lose, nothing to gain
Whatever I do, it goes in vain
Arduous it’s getting to mask this pain
Afraid I might just go insane…

For days I work hard, for days I toil;
Even after dark I burn midnight oil,
In comes your reply and makes my blood boil;
It’s not good enough you say, it’s mud and soil…

All you say after I’ve served your kings,
Try a little harder or pack your things.
What more do you want from me earthlings;
You are asking me to fly after clipping my wings.

So Close But…

Shining sun with lightning doubts,
Hiding behind frightening clouds,
Endless I wait…

Wandered my thoughts far and near,
Anxious my soul for a glimpse of my dear,
She came in late…

Still stood the heaven; still stood the earth,
Oh! For those divine eyes that’s totally worth.

Charm that would turn even gloom to smile
Lame felt my heart; suddenly a meter was a mile.
Oracle within me yelled: Go ahead, proceed,
She even stood in anticipation, she surely did.
Earnest my approach, just diffident for a while;

Breeze through her hairs; Oh! My heart skipped a beat,
Utter a word? Even composure was a feat,
Truth be told…

I messed up!

I am fine, am I not…

Everyone is going somewhere, someplace;
I am stuck, tethered.
Every life is awesome, blaze;
I am stripped, unfeathered.

Long, drab faces of my sojourners;
And whispers of failure,
Quiet snickers of my mourners,
Silently I am to endure.

My existence has reached rock bottom,
They say I am distraught;
Dismayed for I am forgotten,
But I am fine, am I not…

Mercy! Please…

Assignments, assignments and more assignments! Whoa… I just cant believe these teachers can be so harsh (well, the are harsh always – but just to say 🙂  ) . “Complete this today,” “submit that tomorrow itself” – and what not was the prime sentence of every professor  today… Man, they should actually remember how they felt when they were studying… please have some pity on us for God’s sake…
