After life

My words for Afterlife, A Netflix series, which borders on lives lost and the coping mechanism available to a survivor. A beautiful mishmash of tragedy, empathy, reason to live, living with and for others, finding another. 

An ode to memory,
The memory of the loved,
The loved with whom you lived.
You reminisce the good old times,
As you have nothing to cheer your present,
But the memories of the past .
A peek into it gives a high,
You forget the present,
Relive the past.
When the smile that used to be,
Turns into a frown that be.
And you catch yourself thinking of it.
You get back to the times that were,
In whose presence what you turned out to be.
With some one to shoulder your past misgivings,
To carry the present with you, for you,
And to reassure your future with warmth .
There maybe just words unspoken,
But words uttered to your hearts’ content,
Handled with care and the purest intent.
When days used to be,
Days you’d look ahead to,
Days you’d reason with,
Days you’d live for,
Now turned into an afterlife you’d forget,
Trying to relive the past.

The Actor


The words spoken were written by another,
The lives I lived were reality to another,
The scenes were emoted once before to me by another,
In the end its me known to another.
Am I a Polestar or Am I the moon?  
For I am an instrument of another’s light !
My work behind the scene isn’t seen ,
I mug the lines,
Guess Retakes are fine.
Between Reality and an Act,
I might have lost me for another,
Just to be revelled by another.
That another wants to be me,
Guess I was another when I dreamed of being the other,

An actor! Not knowing when Its me and when its another!

A mirage of change

What you see will change,
What you dream will change,
Change the only constant.
This instant if not lived will change,
Till change becomes constant
This moment that passes will be your past,
If you’ve not lived in the present.
If the past haunts you and the future taunts you,
Just live in the present and adopt to change
For Change is permanent,
For Change in omnipotent,
For Change is ever present.
Inaction would result in a moment lost in contemplation,
Rather adapt to change, with temptation for life,
For life is a mirage of change, altered by the concept of time.
As times change, be the change in the mirage of life.

The love at first sight


Fooled by sight and confirmed by vanity
Your heart has chosen the profanity of your minds’ chasms
When love is superficial,
When your lover is artificial,
The sight is fixed at the appearance,
As the looks wane, 
The love wanes.
As the love wanes,
The sight is on stains and
The relationship is strained,
The colour palette of life is reduced to black and white and one starts painting grey.
When you renounce the superficial
And denounce the sight 
And for once choose without materiality or vision,
There’s still hope for life to blossom into something you’d cherish when all is lost except memories.
