306. The essential year of my life

 

*The most essential year of my life*

The term 'essential' carries an essence

A memory which highlights my dear ones presence 

Each year where my parents were present 

Is so essential and no less than a present

This day I saw a little baby in metro whos smile I still feel 

I felt it's like an indication for something special to me that appeal 

This year can be my essential year by god's grace 

I wait for the blessing, not in a hurry or race 

I manifest to complete my exams pending from a long time 

2026 will give me good news of having my parents back in form of little sunshine!!!

304. Faith inside me falling

 

*The faith inside falling*

I met a little baby my way back home in the metro ,seemed like a story untold

The little one was about 5 months old

As soon as I sat beside him he gave me the most precious smile 

He indicated to come in my arms ,I wished I freeze this time 

The soft skin was so gentle and  delicate 

I felt for a moment can I still have this blessing in my life or it's too late 

My faith is strong but at times this feels as mirage 

I manifest with strong faith but falls fatal with calling age 

The baby was so beautiful and I kissed his tiny hand

In this crowd this might be the only time I got this chance to find 

For a moment I thought may be my dad came to meet me in this form 

I held the babu closely in my arm 

Babu throughout was holding me and smiling 

Giving me a hope that my faith shouldn't be falling 

The babu's name is Armaan which in 

Hindi means a 'Wish' I endure 

I manifest with utmost faith that I overcome victorious from my failure 

The faith within me is strong ,that walks along 

Falling I may have faced is just stepping stone 

The faith inside falling is a pathway to overcome 

I will do my duty well not focusing on outcome !!!

303.Secret admirer/ The apology inside a gift*

 

*Secret admirer/ The apology inside a gift*

The qualities within me I once embraced 

Seeking attention, validation when situation faced

Since I didn't have that fence ,I was vulnerable to manipulation 

My life's string to control was in others possession 

I used to be the secret admirer to everything good I observed in them 

May be it was something I seek which was unhealed within 

At times this secret admiration take takes form of obsession 

That we tend to lose control of the true assets within our possession 

The major gift I had was self realisation when I did something wrong 

But when secret admiration was exorbitant, I chose wrong path along 

I thought I had lost all this gift from God 

And now my soul felt i lost the connection cord 

Each day is an effort to be a better version of myself and see

To come out of the toxic loop and protect my energy 

I didn't love me enough and I am sorry to myself

This day I gift a heartfelt apology and a silent promise to not lose me for anyone else!!!

302.* I miss depth in a world obsessed with speed*

I miss depth in a world obsessed with speed*

What do we instantly say when asked 'How are you?'

Yes the reply is in line with "All fine , hope you are too "

But is it always true to refer 

Or our mind is trained for this answer ?

There are three category of talks instinct 

One is in depth which is getting extinct 

Second is small shallow talks few 

And third are the ones who says 'who are you' when I ask 'how are you'

This is a world which seeks instant outcome and feels delight 

Which prefers taking tablet supplement than soaking in direct sun light 

The talks often are shallow 

From within one is not content but hollow

At times I take office cab to reach worksplace

And a colleague was next to my space 

I recollect from one of the previous conversations that he has a new born named 'toshikking'

So to make small talks I checked how is the little one doing 

His instant response was 'how do I remember these details tough'

As he would never remember them if someone is not close enough 

Generally to make small talks I recollect few details which may be lame

His response felt like this is a trivial information in my Brain

No wonder I take time to understand important thing

As these unwanted extra information are in priority wing 

I marked this colleague as a third class category I mentioned above 

I know how to deal with him next time now 

Forget depth , me being in category of small talks tend to slowly move to no contact 

Me expressing in writing is because there isn't anyone to talk and this is a fact 

Being busy is a blessing and I actually like the fast pace

Than keeping a dedicated time, I enjoy writing poems while commuting from worksplace 

To understand any concept I agree, we need to go in depth each time 

Learning curve applies and we speed ,excel and it's a progressive sign 

May be I am in that mindspace now that enjoy doing my duty and embracing speed 

And taking one day at a time and circumstance it lead!!!

301. Unsent letter

 Unsent letter 

I do have a bunch of unsent letter which I didn't discard 

When I was younger I used to write letter in postcard

Watsapp does have 'delete for all 'option

Letter writing doesn't have this feature or caption 

I didn't use to send them if later found lame 

Even now I am still the same 

But good I didn't send them ,the decision was bold 

I realise how innocent I used to be with heart of pure gold !!!

300.Favourite book written by me

 

Favourite book written by me 

Book can be published or otherwise

It can be in form of physical Copy or online base

My life's experiences I record in my blog in due course  

I have named it 'poem and prose'

It's my happy space where I put up my point of view 

Attach my certificates and review

I feel it's a letter to my mom

And she reads them all 

If I were to publish someday ,I would think from readers point else 

My unpublished blog I write for myself 

It's raw real with my feelings true 

This is my book with many episodes too

I feel my life is like a TV series 

Some new character with new experience

I document them all here

This is my dearest book and treasure 

I am blessed to express my feelings this way 

It's always in present continuous tense I say 

Perhaps I am writing my book each day

These challenges that I participate on

I put forth a part of me in various form

I know I am silly at time

But this blog is my book which I proudly claim as mine!!!

299. The truth behind politeness

 

*The truth beneath politeness*

My poetry journey started with this polite worry 

Do you want to know the story ?? 

An outsider male cat who used to cuddle me and never made me feel alone 

He was so polite that I convinced parents to keep him home 

Food too he used to ask with gentleness 

100 marks for his politeness 

After he got entry to my home , he slowly started tearing my study book

I used to close books so that I could spend time at any cost it took

I was ignoring the little scratches and bites 

As he was polite and never initiated any flight 

He used to listen to my office stories however strange it was , my talks he always missed

At end he would cuddle me and his polite tone was everything I wished 

One day I served him food and patted his head 

He suddenly held my hand and bit it hard 

I started bleeding and I didn't believe this was the outcome of my affection 

I went to doctor he gave me tetanus injection 

He said to look out for the cat that he doesn't die 

Otherwise the wound is so bad that we should check if other vaccine apply 

As I came home , I started venting out to this cat that I won't talk to him anymore

He didn't even let me complete my sentence and just gave me one more 

As I am already vaccinated he said I was immune to his bites and everything between us is good 

He added that doctor has mentioned that "your life is dependant on mine so stop ranting and give me food" 

And then added 'your office stories are getting on my nerves now '

The truth behind my politeness was just to get entry to your home with food and love 

I have already tore a book for you, don't worry 

Take a page and start writing your office story!!😁
