Yes I Do Blame
Over a cup of
tea
I thought
About you!
Your lingering
thoughts lingered
Unknowingly
Over another cup
And another
I realized it’s
too much
Never I blame my
thoughts
But three cups
of tea at one go!
Yes, I do blame
The reason
behind.

Status Quo
Neither I’m
happy nor I’m sad
A state when I’m
occupied
With me,
That awakened me
Who witness
everything
The happened
The happenings
And the
up-comings
Without being
involved
In senses and sensualities.

Waiting Room
They come, they
leave
In fact, they
come to leave
Between coming
and leaving
They rest a
while
In the waiting
room
Every chair has
some memories
A smell, a
touch,
A concern, or
worry
A joy or an
excitation
A feeling of
love or hate
Always remains
in the empty chair
As leftovers
Of a being
The quiet
memories sit quietly in the chairs of the waiting room
Before another
memory confiscates the place
Gentle memories
vacate the chair
To accommodate
another
Even though the
memories retire
They never fade
away
Layers of faint
memories slowly melt into the chair
Uncountable
emotions and their untold stories
Remain infused
in to the soul of a meditating chair
If you put the
ear of your heart they whisper
In an unknown
country
In one such
waiting room
From one of the
corner chairs
I got to know
about you
I heard your
emotions
Left a smile, as
finally I met you
And left a tear,
finally I’m leaving too
If anytime you
come to this waiting room again
Please meet the
corner chair
I felt my
fragrance
You are
acquainted with.
