Handle with care - 2 China bowls, 3 Porcelain dishes and a broken heart

Just finished watching “500 Days of Summer” and lying down with heavy memories and light thoughts. Beautiful soundtrack the movie has got. Strange! When an average movie hits your tender nerves and causes your soft side (romantic?!) tissues and neurons to instigate and titillate while itching your finger tips to flush out…..


Handle with care - 2 China bowls, 3 Porcelain dishes and a broken heart


Familiar smell of the earth
Just before the falling leaf rests on the ground
It was a day where the sun had no say
And the first raindrop kissing my last teardrop

You turn back to catch a glance that would
Glance back when it is not glanced at
Begins just as usual and ends same way when they say
Love untold is agony manifold

You toss a coin to the skies
Wishing heads but knowing could be tails
It is a gamble but why to gamble
To lose it all or to take it all

Silver clouds drifting above your head
Vacant eyes can only stare when the soul is dead
Sitting by the stone bench in the silent woods
Gaze fixed but heart fluttering for a knowing footstep

That’s all it takes – A single crumble of a twig
Breaking of dry leaves; alarmed cuckoo of an alarmed cuckoo
To herald the coming of the Mate
Though you argue it can’t be a design of Fate

Give me wings – You ask the one
Who bonded you in the first place
Knowing you would still carry her
When you manage to grow your wings

You become the great Phoenix
Rising again and again only to be burnt
You smile painfully and say “that’s Love!”
And the wise old man sighs and says “That’s Life!”
