P.S: I think of you

when the wind blows softly and brushes my cheek,
when words just fail me,
as i speak

when the morning sunlight fills my eye,
or darkness,
it falls and stars lit the sky

when there is fear of failure,
as i want to try,
and something deep within makes me want to cry

when fate, it plays its vicious games,
and, to hold on to,
there is nothing, but your name

when weirdness in actions,is all i seek,
no, being normal,
doesn't seem well to speak

when in a crowd i feel left alone,
when alone,
i feel i could long for no one

when i am immersed in a song,
and the words,
they catch me unawares

when my feet start tapping to the beats,
as i wish i could dance,
and swirl to the song

when the silences whisper in my ears,
and complain,
of the stifled voices near

when the overpowering chaos around me,
seems to be as tranquil,
as it ever could be

when out of nothing there seems to be everything,
all that is, all that was,
and all that ever could be

do i need a reason or rhyme,
to long for you,
to make you mine?

as i move on from day to day,
from moment to moment, from breath to breath,
all i can say is, i think of you.....

Murphy's laws in action

You wake up, hoping for a bright sunny day. Its raining cats and dogs outside.

You leave home earlier than usual, hoping to reach work on time. Somehow the world knows this and so it has decided to be out along with you, in their cars. There is a deadening traffic block. you miss the train. The next one due is cancelled.

You have an early morning meeting. You hope and pray to reach a little early to be able to send across the presentation to the attendees, something which you couldn't do last evening. Your windows password has expired and you cannot access your system.

Its an important meeting which starts off by the chairperson laying out ground rules that the mobiles need to be on silent mode or better still switched off. Overly confident that that's already the case, you snigger. The first point of discussion comes up and the room reverberates with the deafening sound of a famous tune. Yes, its your mobile phone which is ringing.

Driving down the road, you can see the signal. Its still green. Yes you are sure you can make it. There is ample of time. The car in front of you decides to break down. Its a long wait for the signal to go green again.

You are dressed in your best. The new skirt does wonders to your looks. You feel confident and are ready to take on the world. As you are about to step out of the house, the hem of your skirt gets caught in the door and now there is a big gaping hole. In the skirt and in your wallet too.

You decide to go out for lunch with your friend to your favourite restaurant which is known for its good service and quality of food. You order your time tested favourite dish. The order takes eons to arrive and couldnt taste worse.

You decide to meet up with your friend after a very long time, after a lot of planning and re-planning efforts. You look forward to catching up on the old times. You are midway and your friend calls up, she has fallen down the stairs and fractured her ankle. She is barely able to walk.

The coffee mug is on the table beside your mobile phone. By accident your hand hits the coffee mug and its about to fall down and spill the coffee all over the place. In an attempt to foil this from happening you reach out, hit the mobile instead. Your coffee mug is safe. The mobile is on the floor in multiple pieces. You saved 200 bucks and now you are in need of a few thousands, either to get the mobile phone repaired or get a new one.

Bad luck? coincidence? Bad timing?

I call it the great conspiration theory of the universe !
