Kaleidoscope

I, I was the broken pieces of coloured glass, and,
You, you were the kaleidoscope that moved me.

He Came

"Where..were...you? Why...why did you leave?" he said. He was panting, breathing in and out. In and out. The wind blew, the leaves rustled, the water lapped at the side of the docks where we were standing. The noise of the traffic blared from the city. The crows, the sparrows and the pigeons screeched as they flapped back to their nests at the end of the day. The big, bright orange sun sunk in slow motion into the bay. I didn't see any of that, I didn't hear any of that. I didn't even feel any of that. All I could see was him. Standing in front of me. Breathing. In and out. In and out. "You left, you left me. With nothing. I... I had to come...thousands of miles. Why? Why...did..you... leave?" "You weren't mine to keep" "Okay...that. You don't get to decide that. You understand me?" I could barely nod.

I wandered lonely as a sheep

I wandered lonely as a sheep Like the white one which is Tied outside one of the shops In the bazaar- It looks like it has no business Being there. I wandered lonely as a sheep, Bounding over the textbooks, And the half-written diary; And the poetry by Rafael Campo; And the late night coffee mug stain On the desk on which I study, But sometimes end up writing poetry. I wandered lonely as a sheep, Tip-toeing along the chain of thoughts Of love and happiness, And security long-forgotten; Of betrayal and grief And newer emotions I wish I had never discovered; Of friends and friendship; Of love and the man I love Who I know will never love me back. I wandered lonely as a sheep, I heave one last sigh, And jump, over the fence- Beyond, to freedom.

That Was a Trip That Was

Now before I start, you must know that this is only the second year that I've been living alone. I mean before that, I did nothing, literally nothing on my own. I didn't have to lift a finger. And now suddenly I found myself thrown into a world of laundry and midnight library sessions and half-baked microwave lasagne. But clearly, that wasn't enough for me, or my roommate because we decided to do something interesting this fall break. And by interesting I don't mean renting bikes at ECP (though that would've also been cool). We decided to take a short weekend trip to another country. So it was a typical day at home. I was sitting at the desk, working on my laptop (read: trying to download the latest episode of How I Met Your Mother) and Sakshi was sitting on the bed listening to music. Sakshi: You know what? We should go to Bintan in the break. Me: We should totally go to Bintan this break! Wait, let me Google it... Bintan is one of the many islands of Indonesi...
