Reworking the accounts


As eventful as it may seem, this week was certainly different. It was silent among the several errands that I ran (not used to running errands on a weekday) during the week. The clock seemed to stretch every second to shame the minute. I have been good and keeping my word and yet it seemed slow. Neither has voice nor video faced any ban nor did they mute. Attempts were made to reconnect. Attempt because it was not fully completed. The chords were strung but no music played.

Some more attempts will be made soon. Attempts to make some big decisions were undertaken. None succeeded, though it should have by now. Attempts were made to converse and shun the solitude. Again I tried but did not exactly know what to talk about. This week seemed to be a week of attempts. It tried connecting the dots but every node made me realize something. I am not exactly sure if it is something good or bad, but definitely regret. Over what is a question that I am still trying to figure?

Will it stay this way? Are all my attempts not going to find light? I guess I will have to wait for time to answer those questions.


Snow flurries floated across the window,
They seemed to be happy and content,
Not knowing what to expect, when to expect,
Not knowing where they are headed,
They sang and boarded the train.

I boarded the train, this time though,
I didn’t want to expect, I smiled, smiled hard,
But forgot when to smile, cry,
I laughed at his misfortune,
I cried at his happiness.

He spun the wheel with great speed,
The wheels kept ticking the seconds of his life,
All accounts maintained, his surplus cashed,
I looked at my books, looked above,
Where will I gather all deficits that I owe life?

Rubima

Searching among the last remains of Rubia, I stumbled upon the inscriptions of Raima, The words printed in bold, smeared in parfum, My eyes rigid on the sketch of love, Rubima. Set when the women were young, They held an affiliation too close, Fear in their eyes, dampness in their breath, They met behind the barn near the cellar. The creeping vine, a safe haven, from the observer, They engaged in recreation that the society turned their back on, They explored the thinness between their clothes, They shared the revelation that once stayed with them. They searched catlike, they squeezed with ease, They bared to illustrate felony of law, They undressed with nothing to hide, They exposed their better parts, with emotions untainted. 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.
