WARM WINTER


The fall is over,
Do you feel cold when you touch the windowpane,
Do you feel chilly & crisp breezes,
Here comes the winter again!

It's the time... 
...for conversations over hot coffee,
...to express feelings once left unsaid,
...to bid adieu to unpleasant events,
...to wrap up  the precious memories & move ahead,

It's the time...
...to reflect on the deeds done,
...to grab the chance to help a needy fighting cold,
...to light a path for the one who has lost hope,
...to let go of the grudges that we hold,

The year ends with festivities,
It's an opportunity to make the winter warm,
As we embark on a journey again
With miles to go on!

ILLUSIONS

Wish our paths had not crossed,
Giving no place to false promises,

It was better to be own,
And have no place to confide in,
Rather than beseeching for it,

It was better to get hurt,
And rise up on own,
Rather than living a delusion of having someone who would stand by,

It was better to get bruised,
Rather than breaking down,

Words gone futile,
Actions gone in vain,
Hope rising backed up by illusions,
Do not forever remain.

BITTER TRUTH

Yes! it's true,
People leave when adversity strikes,
When at lows,
That's when no one stands besides,

Yes! it's true,
The promises made are verbal traps,
Those are illusions created to temporarily fill the gaps,

Yes! it's true,
The pretentious are respected,
And the natural ones simply get rejected,

Yes! it's true,
The age of downfall is here,
When the bitter truths die,
And lies survive.
