waiting room
I turn my back
to the clock

grocery store
an old man asks
for his own address

career shift
a room full of posters
now empty

This Humanity



In the bound of time and space
Unaware and out of place
Everyday beholds the same shining sun
The reasons kept, the reasons burnt
An opinion can change with just a gaze
It can be dark while you’re in daze
The journey sums up in different lines
For some just a run, for some sublime
Forever the echo runs through blood
Thousands of generation begin as a bud
Blooms, live, decays and then blooms again
Somewhere the drought and somewhere, the rain
The pain they hide, the smiles they share
Some are just thoughts, while some nightmares
Unknown faces and thousands of stories
Wearisome eyes hiding the tale of glories
What you think and what I actually meant!
The differences do sometime make a dent
The deception in your perception
Beyond the way of comprehension
What it justifies, what not!
Figuring out a way to ease the knot
When everyone walks the path undecided
Seen, unseen yet the dreams ignited
Holds the key from you to me
Only our beating hearts can see
