Wings of Desire...

Or

'Desire of Wings'...??

Desire to feel the breeze at 33,000 feets.

Desire to be amongst the clouds.

Jealous of the wings you have!!

The Last Toast 

Raising the toast last,

to all, that happened in the past,

The tumbler's been rested,

and the euphoria which had nested,

in the circuits crazy, & breaths bated;

for times quite long; has evaporated.

The hangover too, has passed away,

Things are clear, all along the way.

Raising the toast last,

to the times we staged a blast,

We loved, cared & rocked,

We fought, cried & hugged.

It was so memorable, beautiful;

It was good but, not wonderful.

The memories've been put down.

Even though you're in the town,

the world seems clearer,

fine, in place, and equally messier.

Raising the toast last,

to the life- impending & vast.

Future beckons me & you,

Step we must into it & give it its due.

Different, let be the path,

After all, different souls we hath.

Neither made-for-each-other,

nor enemies or arch-rivals or haters.

It's the toast last, as our souls

depart, disperse & roll

away into unknown terrains.

Searching for the remains?

No, there's no time & use

to cherish, or rant or rumble or muse.

Today, a new robe our relation wore;

Of friends; Yeah, the love one I tore.

Sorry, but

the tumbler has been rested,

and the euphoria has evaporated.

Still,

There's one thing I am proud to boast,

It was I who took the charge to raise the last toast.

...To raise the last toast.

"बस एक बार वापस लौटने का मन करता है ...
आज हर वो बात याद आती है ...
कुछ बुरी बातें जो अब अच्छी लगती है ...
कुछ बातें जो कल की ही बातें लगती है ...
अबकी बार क्लास attend करने का मन करता है  ...
दोपहर की क्लास में आँखें बंद करने का मन करता है ...
Exam के time पे वो हसी मजाक बहुत प्यारी लगती है ...
एक ऐसी सुबह उठने का मन करता है ...
बस इस बार वापस लौटने का मन करता है ...
बस एक बार और ... !!"
