Weird...

I met Life again today
around the corner of that lane.
Blinded by the wind storm,
in a mad rush I rode.
Now shaky, now steady;
Swinging, swaying, twisting, turning
with the slithering, curvy road,
and BANG!

I frowned, She stared,
I stared, She smiled…

…She smiled? I looked again…
She smiled. Confused, bewildered,
I looked away… She smiled?

A fugitive smile escaped my lips too.
I quickly turned and hurried away.

Note: No this was not a poem, not a prose or the narration of any real incident. It is just a feeling... You know when you just type each word on the keyboard, as you pronounce it in your mind... without thinking if it makes any sense. This is just one of those raw, unstructured, random thoughts.

We tend to wage a war with life... Always fight, crib, sulk, defy, rebel. Life for sure has hardships, but there are rewards too. And amidst all the hardships, suddenly one day when life smiles at us, we do not know how to react. It happened to me, it may happen to anyone of us... you may just meet life around the corner of the lane. And when she smiles at you, remember to smile back. Life will suddenly seem beautiful. :-)

Love,
Meenakshi

Dying Love... (edited)

In my soft, glistening eyes,
a desperate longing for you cries.
Tender lips quivering to kiss
the dream of an eternal bliss.

I feel your breath,
somehow distant and cold.
I touch your heart,
hoping to touch your soul.

My heart freezes
as moments melt…
I don’t feel the love,
I once felt.
