Loving Life Again

a question thrown in

my answer had me thinking

asked somebody just like that

how are you?

I am fine was my reply

didn’t know if it was actually true !!

went through the darkness and doom

after breaking up with you

days and nights were nothing but blue

darkness asked me one day

how are you?

I am fine was my reply

didn’t know if it was actually true !!

 courage I lacked

to hold a new hand

or find another shoulder to depend

dreading the addiction that last time happened

courage asked me one day

how are you?

I am fine was my reply

didn’t know if it was actually true !!

with efforts

tried to be up on my feet

leaving behind my precious relationship’s defeat

following hope

sunshine and its fleet

the sunshine asked me one day

how are you?

I am fine was my reply

didn’t know if it was actually true !!

with baby steps

I walked in the direction of light

using my gut, my strength,

my soul’s entire might

with fear in mind, yet faith in heart

again to give life, one hard fight

light asked me one day

how are you?

I am fine was my reply

didn’t know if it was actually true !!

 meekly, I would myself ask

what do you desire today?

and my heart would in its softer voice say

a new book to read

get a new song to hum

 keep those negative thoughts at bay

and I would follow these little commands

the heart asked me one day

how are you?

I am fine was my reply

didn’t know if it was actually true !!

 as days turn into months

and months roll into years

I cover a distance today

beginning to heal

I feel life again getting on the reel

life asked me one day

how are you

I am fine was my reply

but this time

may be

may be

it’s true!!

Ah, Whose could it be ??

It's a WOW !!  

With a throbbing headache I wake up

I need nothing but a strong coffee cup

Housewarming party images from last night

But, oh, the messy surroundings was not a very pretty sight

Gone are the friends and their friends

‘t was fun, food, music and booze flowing without ends

Cleaning up the corners of my new place

Need to buck up, I just can’t sit and laze

As I hurry to order up things

A half-eaten cake, mobile phone and an earring

Resting on my newly acquired centre-table I see

Now whose earring could it be?

Tried hard to recall, but how could I tell

After all, the expensive booze had done its work well

Ah, I am never gonna find out was my apprehension

But somehow that earring had my attention

I picked up my phone and browsed casually

To take a picture and instagram it quickly

Half face of a lady in green earring sat in my phone gallery

So, the special connection with the earring could not just be a fallacy

But how do I find out whose it could be

Voila, why not check if a new number in my phone I could see

Yes, her number I saw with the picture

Hope of new beginnings inside me now flickered
