As beautiful it may sound, perception is a chameleon.


The cuckoo kept swaying to remind time,
Time that never was my and will ever be,
Yet the feeling sunk in, of oneness
Changing rhythms of a beating heart.

As beautiful as it may sound,
Perception is a chameleon,
The world lay its feet at deception,
Few, very few passed without notice.

I wasn’t one of them,
Time played the cop,
My role, the villain,
Place, the hero.

The urge to be among the crowd,
Yet see the world through focus,
Hit back hard, failed to notice,
All, except few lived otherwise.

The stage remains the same,
Changed roles for leaders and followers,
I started to lead, the me followed,
Making myself believe in the I.

As beautiful as it may sound,
Perception is a chameleon,
The world lay its feet at deception,
Few, very few passed without notice.

They slowly moved to mutualism, They shared belongings not meant to be though, They sensed the need though the fear loomed, Yet the old barn kept the worship undeterred. They painted castles on the barn fence, With colors unknown, they ...

Tears

Have to admit that after a real long time I shed tears today. The sheer memory struck a rhythm and the pathos flowed promptly. It neither gave me a reason nor a chance to question it. I don't really recall shedding tears off late. Something is changing. Is the world ending?

A/506

The sun bid farewell to the day, The white round shone, The scene set around the lake, Crowd started settling in, One after the other, the bell rang, All laughing and joy, The big, tall, small and round, They all came to what they call A/506, The sound of the tv blared hared, The giggles and smiles, Out came the glasses, Poured in white and golden, The cards played its part, I lost all judgement, Kept playing till all, Quit and i lost, Golden kept me at bay, Saw one drop after other, Made a serious effort, To stay till last, Succeed did i most of times, This time, the balcony, lost, All its old customers, people, I looked across the balcony, waiting, For them to return.
