Relationships

Once you are on board,

Forget solitude,

Give up tranquility,

Its going to follow you,

Everywhere,

All the time.

It reeves In between the ‘how are you', and ‘am doing fine’

As the indecisive hesitation,

It inhabits that blank stare

That you had never let anything to fill up,

It rolls all your thoughts and wraps into a single ball

Becoming the wrapper itself,

It permeates your playlist

And picks the tracks to its temper,

It foists itself on your temper,

And before you realize, it terms you a gadfly!

It is all the nonsensical words that you unintentionally speak,

The tautology that runs through your sentences,

Yes, You are on board.

Those thumbs that happily pained in texts

Now debate as to who among them did the bigger damage,

Those fold of skin between your brows

Plead to be ironed back from the constant frown,

Those movies you watched all years long

About the ever insentient clan, smile back from memory, in sheer smugness,

Those dreamy bards of yore

You pray they better not catch your sight, for fear of cold blooded murder,

Yes, you are on board.

And just when you decide you are done and quitting,

When you urge to claim back your old self,

There surges a breeze of new hope, all over again,

The slimmest change in weather,

And,

Forget solitude,

Give up tranquility...........

Take my gyan,

You are on board.

Take my gyan,

You are not getting down.
