teardrops

I stood by the window.

All I saw outside was dark sheet of the night.

Thunder was all I could hear.

The glass pane was all wet and dripping in the dark.

And so were the tears in my smoky eyes.

My nose was red and each tear rolling down pained me.

I felt as if the sky was crying with me.

I had a real bad day.

He is dating some other girl.

I was undefined till I met him.

And I was so absorbed when I would be with him...

He had brought the 'real' me from within.

And I had built castles in air with him.

and suddenly, they all came crashing down.

Heard he is serious with this affair of his...

Now she has all I ever had.

"he's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar..."

In my bosom

I blow with the wind

Flow with the river

Sublime with camphor

And reappear with a shower.

I lie deep in thought

Come up with solutions

Cry when helpless

And cheer with no reasons!

I love to get wet in rain

Relish each gain

But there's just one pain-

All life's work is vain.

Ω╤

I came in the world with nothing in hand

As the same will I go.

But all my life I struggle to save myself

From each blow...

I lie down in complete surrender.

Just raise the white flag of 'give up'

Yet I can't stop wriggling and ultimately

Stand up and gulp all up.

Standing by the shimmering bay

I gaze at my reflection

Sans perfection.

But the next day what I see,

Is the mirage of the one full of determination.

-Osi

...

I tried to correct my mistake.

I visited that place again and again.

But all in vain.

All I came back with, was more guilt, more pain,and more memories.
