Face speaks...

As I am putting too much efforts in my travelling just to bring stability in my job, I am experiencing the dullness that precedes in every individual.
First of all, I am very thankful to the undeniable sound of shared auto that helps me drift into the boredom of my life. Unfortunately, that sound can never be a positive back up for you when you step out of your office saddled with the office 'satchel' (I feel like a school-child) with shoulders drooping, slackened pace and tattered hopes.
I don't know if the pressure at work can harden you but the 'butt' usually gets cracked lying stubbornly on the 'smoothly' ragged seats.
So, pulling my readers back to the story from the undecipherable descriptions of Noida autos, I qoute,
"you may know how to drive,
but problems of yours know how to blow you" 
While coming back home, I was struck in the jam (killer jam)... I held a lovely book in one hand and my phone-cum-music player in another. It was the time when I moved my head to have a 'satisfying' vision of the traffic, when I noticed two four-wheeled cars (sedan to be precise) just behind my air-filtered auto.
In grey sedan, there was a girl on the driver's seat. She sat there staring the red light and waiting for the signal. She had her shoulders drooped, eyes popped out and half opened mouth and it was easily understandable that she had a worst day.
Next to hers, was a white car in which an old lady had the same expressions... but... she was arguing with her husband over something and suddenly burst out.
As I was observing the fine ladies, a thought stuck me... No one- be it a housewife, a office clerk, a driver, a washerman, a CEO... No one in this life has an easy going life.
It is the traffic light only that stops us and makes us see the sufferings, pain, torments etc., of others life.
When the light asks to stop... it asks the poor to think about its hungry stomach, the middle class about the income, the elite about their riches.

Absolution

Lust... It touched me at an early age,
I was a prisoner and in the cage.

A helpful hand was escaping in fog,
I called his name but it was gone.

There... they came with their head,
I went pale and was all red.

'Let me go, I want to go', I screamed,
But it was the light of darkness that gleamed.

'Hold her tight. I want it right',
My tears rolled down and lips were tight.

No one came out; 'come out' I plead,
see I am in shackles, get me freed.

Look... whose there? It's the one I know,
Come please, and like always let my life glow.

Shameless made me ashamed,
The moment was all tamed.

Myriads of emotions took hold of me,
It's all over, may be.

But see, I am left alone,
My cage open and all gone

As I got wings I flew high to the sun,
Like Icarus, I too was burnt

'Go, You have nothing, you little lad'
said those folks, all white clad

But that was not all I had,
The future was harsh and all bad

You can't feel the pain in which I live,
But to you, absolution is all I can give.

ODE TO THE BASTARD

Holding the sheets furiously
I shut my eyes hard
his voice was darting on my mind
my hands twitched and I let the thought discard

A 'no one' guy sworn on me
yes he did shamefully
still I let the anger dissipate
and mused over the time ruefully

what was my fault???
I tried to take a stand
saving a girl from the clutches
of that menacing man

he called me a bitch
and threatened to kill
when he was wrong
still he got 'I-am-the-guy' skill

now I laugh
bursting out at his dull-headness
and pray to the bastard
to instill in me a bit foolishness

the dumbness to get agitated
and throw the tantrums onto the world
so that the folks could know
about the new cult

Bastard O Bastard!!!
impart me with the ultimate prowess
so that I can rise
from any menace

the ultimate bliss is
to be an ignorant
not learning from the mistakes
and enjoying being malignant

Bless me Bastard Bless me
you are the one in vogue
just see my devotion to you
that's my efforts for you to invoke...
