words that matter.

 Lines choke her heart as she doesn’t know where he started and how they began. She remembered their conversation, with every pause that he took she felt a little more drawn to him. She was a drizzle and he was a hurricane, what they had could never be explained. Whatever element her soul was made of his was utterly different. Her soul would want a sneak peek into his soul to unravel the irrationality of her emotions. Her rules had been the same over the years, with him around she just played with the heart. They were half-heartedly fighting for something they could have but sanity made them choose not to!    They were fighting for them, for the one last time. His eyes could keep her alive for another century, how she chose to look away.  Life moved on. She would smile thinking they still breathe in the same world! As she wishes him good bye, deep down she prays their paths to cross again.  She will bury her soul, a soul which adamantly...

Into the rain she stepped To hide the tears To hide the tears. For she could not say For what he would never know. The smell of her man, Diffused in the rain Lingered as she wandered. Unlike rain, She was afraid of falling. For he would be gone She would be lone. She was a drizzle He was a hurricane And all they had was a thunder. The rain will know Their incomplete story. She will drench herself To wash away him from her. As he walks away, Ignorant as always. Into the rain she stepped To hide the tears To hide the tears.                                         

For You For  you wanted to climb the hills And she wanted to live by the sea. For you were a mystery And knew all her story. For you were a questionnaire And she was a bunch of answers. For when you looked into her eyes, Her heart would whisper What the mind could not decipher. For she knew the vulnerability Of falling freely. For she will keep the lights dingy, And you will never see her eyes gloomy. For you would think she never cared, How good veronica pretended? For all that you cover Its time you uncover For the last time Before you walk away Let her see the real you Engross in the real you And, detach from the real you.                                                              Prerna Mishra 

Dear Veronica, only if the chaos, inside you sleeps. only if the bawl, inside you calms. only if  your judgmental eyes, loses its scrutiny. only if you unfasten, what chokes the vent. will you unwrap, the real you. The heart will blindly seek, for what it has set for let it be, set it free veronica! for you were born to soar!                                                       Prerna Mishra

Destined to Sojourn And I know you will leave.. For you are destined to sojourn The dark tunnel that I travel, With inmates that I wander, Sullen rubrics all over the the wall. And I feel you Like the fresh breeze, In the summer afternoon. Like a guiding light, In the dusky bridge. Like a known, In unknown. Some odd day, I wonder I seek I beseech To unravel you. And I quit I quit to unravel you. I embrace to cherish, Your ephemerality.                                                                                                                   Prerna Mishra

Veronica, try and teach me someday!  Come back veronica I miss the real you. You as I see today, an untrue mortal! The girl who was on her voyage, voyage of dreams, has deferred her dreams and changed her route.  I cry, all night but you never answer my questions. Why do you lie to yourself, veronica?  You were different; you carried a heart that wished change! On the way you changed, you are now just a part of crowd. Money reigns supremacy, buy peace if you can veronica, buy for me too! Ooh veronica, I am at loss of words, I see you depart from yourself. How I wish, you could still listen to your calling! You could stand against the treacherous world but you chose to adjourn it. Veronica, I hope with all that worldly pleasure you have, you also have a good night sleep. Buy good decisions veronica, you need them. May be you are right veronica, this is the way you will find yourself again, for the final time without an iota of doubt. It is only after elimination t...
