The wait


the empty streets
the cold night
a restless heart
a worried mind

eve growing darker
people hurrying home
street lights on
and I'm standing alone

chilled breeze blew
a shiver shook me
hungry eyes raised
but I kept standing

stretched my eyes
to the ends of the road
strangers walked by
but I don't see you

 emptiness filled around
my heart raced
at every sound

 by the pavement 
below the lamp
for a while I then sat
nothing seemed known
even my shadow estranged
no one to accompany me
except the lonely time
time moved on 
but I stood still
waiting in the dark
here for you to be 

 I told you I'll wait
no matter how long
by heart I started
our love song

 the song of promise
the words of faith
the verses of holding each other
no matter how long be the wait
"I'll always wait"

Marriage Aggrement

“Where you going?” Mom stopped Neeta as she was about to leave for somewhere. “I have my tutions Mom”, Neeta replied and she simply went. “What’s going on with this girl? Neither she needs to talk nor listens anything. I am just fed up of her. Tonight I got to talk to her anyway”, Mom determines to have a talk with her. On her way Neeta’s mind are kept occupied by the things Mom talked to her the day before. They had a serious talk about Neeta’s marriage and she was opposing it. The day before “What did you think about the proposal that I had for you?” mom asked Neeta. “Which one mom?” Neeta tries to act innocent. “Did you see the photo? Do you have anything to ask about it?” mom kept on questioning her. “Maa I am not thinking about it at all and I don’t want to talk about it too. I have told you earlier I don’t want to get married now”, Neeta’s rejection was strong. “Who have asked you to get married now? I just want you to meet the boy. You two c...

Standing at your doorstep

I’m standing at your doorstep About to knock the door But something holds me back And I turned, to return It’s just a feeling I got It’s just a crush I thought The way you smiled at me The way you were The times we talked The moment when we together walked I got a feeling each second there And the feeling made me feel better Standing at your doorstep I remember the moment How the time seemed to vanish Just at a blink Standing at your doorstep I go back to the moment that I left The unfinished job The unsaid words And just an imagination How life would be like If together we had been What if you opened the door And I walked in Standing at your doorstep I want to make a confession A confession of secret affection A confession of hidden feelings A confession of certain magnetism A confession of everything But before you open the door I‘ll be going away Standing at your doorstep I feel my eyes wet For not missing you But for not loving you The way...

Surprise

I hear him shout again…….I don’t know what’s his problem but this furious person with horns all time, so called my boss shouts for no reason. Poor Bishesh, he gets all the scorns for no any reason. “Why did the boss shout at you today?” I asked Bishesh during the lunch time. “He must be the maddest person in the world whom the world sees as a boss. I just hate him. I just came office and he started to shout as if the sky is to fall. I myself don’t know the reason behind” Bishesh answered. I can see the rage and the resentment in him but he tries to hide it. He always wanted to quit the job but for what reasons he always steps back. He is a good person. I can say that for I have worked for nearly 3 years with him by now. We both joined the office as trainee at the same time. Both of us have worked very hard during those times. But I must say luck favored me and now I am his senior. Still we are good friends. We usually have our lunch together but today his is not in good mood. “H...
