'That Face Little Known'

"A knock at the door
a guest on the floor
the shadow of some known
the heart roared
the cry that was stored
months back
she walked out of the door
in the dress of the bride that she wore
leaving behind the love 
that was pure.
the room' walls said
'welcome'
the toys left
asked to be taken along 
with the one who was dressed
the termites on the wardrobe
said good to see you back on the board
little did they know
the wooden planks were now their home
taken along were the letters
that healed the heart much better
the days passed in the hope of something greater
little did they know
last seen will be the month of December...."

The mother asked nature to bless her with a daughter who'd  care. she said as cold as glacier adjustable as water the care taker the survivor the one who'd replicate her the one who'd hug on failure. my oldage, she said she would nurture the best of better during the heaviest thunder she'd provide the best shelter. a baby girl she wished for putting an end to the war to the God she said, I demand nothing more A wish to see before I sleep forever on the floor.

The Next Step

Expected & accepted The life lied And reality distracted Leaving protected Family directed. The plea Staying back rejected Starting new Scared too Stepping steps Other side of doorstep The world waited. I hesitated For the final seeing To start believing To live while dreaming To see twin changing The domicile. Wishes, Lucks, Greetings Maybe self failed to share The ongoing changes. The night most feared Bidding farewell While few smiled The world left behind CRIED - Pushkin Channan

Isn't That Weird

"Isn't it weird How can you go from being everything to nothing in the blink of ignored text messages. You can talk for months or even years, about everything & nothing. You can know more about each other than anyone has ever known before. And then one day One of us decides it is enough And then stop replying, And then stop trying, And it's just over. No words to break it off. No heartfelt goodbye's. Just a bunch of broken promises and the stories that will never find their endings. It's just cut off and we go on with our lives. AND NEVER BOTHERED TO LOOK BACK."
