The Path

Lightning strikes the land, droplets of water start to fall,

This is the path I have chosen, unknown to all.

I started off as a mere animal, now I'm human,

My destiny is far and my resources are none.

Love....everlasting? (Chapter 8)

Aryan was standing there, he had turned pale, as if all the blood had drained from his skin, he felt numb, such was the realisation of the thought that had just come to his mind,'If she hasn't run off, she is not at her home, she's not even told her grandma where she is, then where the f*ck is she?'
Vikram said,"Dude, you're overthinking. She just didn't tell her grandmother that's it. She must be with that asshole Aamir, don't you think about her man, she is not worth your time and your efforts."
"Brother, you listen to me, and you listen to me carefully, she cannot hide running away from her grandmother, I know that for a fact…."
"How can you know that? Maybe she was ashamed of the fact, of running away…"

Love....everlasting? (Chapter 7)

Shocked at reading the last message, Aamir had replied that he loved her too. He started reading the chat above the last message, he scrolled upto the first message and read it till the end. The messages shocked him to his core, she was cheating on him, she had been intimate with him and worse, she had called him up to meet him on the same day she had told Aryan to stay away from her, she had planned to run off with him to Kashmir on the same day. Run off? Why? Aryan was the most open boyfriend any girl could ever have, Jenny had told this to him herself. He had told Jenny that she could leave him whenever she wanted, rather than cheating on him. But, she had cheated on him, had kept him in the dark. She still loved that son of a b*tch. He who had sexually ravaged her like a monster, tore apart her loins with his nails, she had bled profusely there, he had had so rough sex with her, she had felt like a pornstar, he had stolen money from her, called up his ex in front of her after ravaging her and told his ex that he loved her, he who had left her in the middle of the relationship, changed his phone number and did not contact her for years, up until now. She had messaged him herself, she had taken his number from one of her friends, and contacted him, why? She planned to run off with him, Aryan clenched his fists, his throat dried up, he felt his anger about to burst from within and his eyes became moist, he wanted to scream but didn't. He took the phone, kept it on a nearby desk and called her grandmother in a low tone.

Diwali

Sitting on a bench, in a garden, thinking,
Festive season is over, no kidding,
I see a bush, really beautiful, green and lushful,
Looking at the squirrels scurrying about, so playful.

I think of the environment so peaceful,
Nothing can ever be so pretty, so admirable,
Burnt crackers lying around, the serenity,
Oh! what pleasure it is to admire such still beauty.

The soft breeze, so soothing,
The emptiness so moving.
Diwali is over, nothing can move me so much.
Making people move one with their life, a crutch.

Love....everlasting? (Chapter 6)

Vikram was tense too now. Jenny had been missing for the same period of time as Aryan had been in the hospital, it would not be difficult for someone to make a connection and hold him in a cell. He(Aryan) had to get out of here quickly, not only because of his love, but because of himself also, it seemed ironic how destiny had tied their fats together. Vikram just hoped for Aryan's sake now, that he would be able to find her as quickly as possible. Aryan was to be discharged that day, so he was getting ready to leave for Jenny's home, he was not going for a party so he didn't mind anything he wore provided it was sufficiently clean. He wore a pair of blue jeans and a white shirt, he had been told he could go to the front desk and leave.

The Pursuit Of Happiness

Every day, we see life, we see a different struggle,

All I see is a movement to make each other miserable.

I wake up each morning into the future, all I see is ash,

I see dust, smoke and destruction, a hunger for cash.

Nowadays, even lovers have different criteria,

Checking out a person's negations on social media.

Where are the days where the love would be so bright?

Where a couple would be forever together,  at first sight?

That way a lot of things could be avoided, a lot of wars,

As love is the path to darkness and evil, if not fulfilled it scars,

It breaks trust and kills emotions, makes a person dark inside,

It clouds a person's instincts, makes it hard for them to anything decide.

Love.....everlasting? (Chapter 5)

He picked up the call.
"Hello, Jenny?"
"Who's this?"said a woman's voice he couldn't recognize.
"Who are you? You called me."
"You called on this number too many times...you tell me who are you."
"I'm Aryan."
"Aryan!!! You know where my Jenny is?"
"Who is this speaking?"

The Three Wishes

I feel empty inside, I don’t know if it’s anybody’s fault,
But yeah, I feel like this, like everything happy has been locked in a vault.
Nobody can understand this predicament, as they are too busy,
Their lives challenge them daily; they don’t have time to make my life easy.

Love...everlasting?(Chapter 4)

Aryan woke up to the sound of music playing in his room, he slowly sat up on his bed to locate the source of the music, and he saw Vikram sitting there.
"You son of a b**ch."said Vikram with anger.
"Don't son of a b**ch me, I didn't call you up because you are always busy, I thought it was better to leave you busy."

The Apocalypse

Watching the stars shimmer in the night,

I know I lost my last chance, I wasn't very bright,

Waiting for the end to come, I welcome it,

I tried my best I did, I put in every ounce of my power, every bit.

It wasn't enough, now comes the time,

To bask in the glory of the end, it is not a crime.

Knowing that nothing can be done, still I try,

I fall, again and again, sometimes I even cry.

This I vowed to myself on the first day,

I will never accept defeat, come whatever may.

I may be a loser, but then end won't be the same,

My end shall see me a victor, among the crémé dé la crémé.

Love.....everlasting? (Chapter 3)

Aryan walked to his bed and sipped in, he hadn't bothered to call up any of his friends, they had not been with him when he needed them, they were too busy, so they had just told him to move on and forget her, forget Jenny, selfish sons of b**ches, they didn't know the trauma he had experienced when she was in a relationship with that guy, the pain, it had almost driven him to madness. His imagery, which his schoolteachers had said was his gift became his curse, he had imagined almost every position possible they must have had sex in. He was driven to tears to alcohol, to drugs, to cigarettes, to beating up guys without reason. All this and they had just said forget her, move on, they wouldn't be bothered then, why, oh why bother them now. He let out an exasperated sigh, he couldn't sleep, his mind was filled with the thoughts of Jenny and their time in the theatre, of how he had made his first kiss the most funny thing in the world, he had actually asked her whether he could kiss her or not, now mind it, they were on a couch seat, he was holding her by the waist, her head was on his chest and the other hand was clasped by her other two hands, he was in heaven, but he wanted to kiss her so badly, he didn't know how to, she had refused him earlier before the previous movie to kiss him, on the phone, but, he felt lucky that day, so he quietly brought his lips close to her right ear and whispered,"Baby, can I kiss you?"

The Warrior

The road I have since long strided,

Has always been one-sided,

But slowly now the tables will turn,

And a new me will be born.

I am a warrior, nothing less,

I have fought life and death with finesse,

I know how to face my troubles,

How to go one-on-one on broken pebbles.

Love.....everlasting? (Chapter 2)

He opened his eyes and looked around, he was lying on a hospital bed, his clothes had been changed, he had IV tubes attached to his hand, he saw a nurse come over to him and shout,"Doctor, he's awake."
"Nurse, what happened to me?" 
"Well, you were brought in by a samaritan from the nearby neighbourhood, you had passed out on the stairs, you have beem diagnosed as slightly amnestic." 
"Slightly what?" 
"Amnestic, meaning you might be having a little bit of amnesia, you might not be able to remember things from the past few days." 
"But, I remember, I met Jenny yesterday only!" 
"And what day was that then?" 
"Sunday." 

A New Age

A long way forward in time from now, I think,

There will a new world filled with joy to the brink.

A new age of people who'd rather not waste their  time on ego,

Rather than thinking of why to waste it on loved ones and let them go.

I think of a time where all can finally enjoy the rain,

Smell the falling drops of water, the mud, forgetting their pain.

Where everything is beautiful, love flourishes and thrives,

Where in every street, nook and corner a merry melody jives.

Love.....everlasting? (Chapter 1)

He was running away, as fast as he could, he could not bear the sight he had just seen. Never would he see her face again, ever. Running through the dark streets, he realised something, he had tried more than ever, his level best to forget her, to move on, to be normal and not let her have her way, but somehow, she just got inside his system, and this had led to what happened tonight.
