For Today, I’ll stay in this euphoria

In this walk of life,
I stood still waiting,
Whilst you peeped out of the yellow auto,
With a mischievous smile,
Big enough to melt any “tough guy” character,
What chance did I have against you?

So here I am,
Wrecked,
Perplexed,
With a mixture of confusion & joy,
With no clue,
I stare down the road,
And watch you go away.

An early morning photograph with near empty road and a bright yellow auto

From here on,
Every yellow auto,
Will bring up my heartbeat,
Anticipating that mischievous smile,
Oh why would you do that?
Why would you do that to me?
I’ll wonder.
I’ll wonder from tomorrow.
For today, 
I’ll stay in this euphoria.

The Rescue (Short Story)

Minding his own business as he carefully selects his groceries from the aisle he is stared upon like an outcast, so he hides behind his hooded jacket adjusting it to cover his face. Every time he steps out of the house the piercing eyes remind him of the scars he wants to hide, the scars he wants to forget. Decades have passed, so many comments have been hurled towards him.

Standing in front of the mirror everyday he stares at himself and towards the scars, the scars he tries to cover so hard everyday, trying to hide it from the world but fails. The half burnt face, the burnt and disfigured left arm, and the unseen scars on his mind which were the painful of all, a gift from the society and its people, that he endured for so long and still continues to do so, every single day. Often looking, rather peeping out of the window, he gets lost in his thoughts and strolls back to that day which changed him fo...

Barrier Breakers

The world will judge you, By what you do, and not what you think, The world will judge you, By what you say, and not why you say, The world will judge you, By your appearance, and not your intellect. And yet,

The Ignored Light

  Source:Pixabay Trapped in a box, Of "know your place", I find my voice lost, In that deep ocean of internal struggle. I see the melting wax, I see the burning wick, But lost is the light, In the rays of a bulb. A light which would shine, A light which would bring smile, In dark houses and small alleys, I see it battling each day, With hope to win someday. Powerless, I stare at the flame with hope, Praying at the same time, For it to win someday, For it to win every day. ©onerandompoet
