The Paradoxical Climb

Lot many questions play in my mind
But I wasn't sure how to zero it down
To explain them in one line

I have been in search of it for quite sometime
But in vain, with each new find

Maybe to an extent, I may have found
A night before I am going to burn my ass off
I feel I can explain it in One Line now

What is Marriage?

When you read it, it appears
A mere question for the crowd
But, truly, a nightmare for the sane lot

Though if you ask me today, I will say
Marriage: A Paradoxical Climb

For what you may perceive as End
Will actually be a new Beginning

Coz the beginning is initiated after yesterday's end
And todays end will be tomorrow's beginning

Every step you take to reach a destination
Turns out to be just the next step
For a new journey

Every day is a new day, a new climb
Which you have to make

And when you retire at the EOD, beneath the starry skies
It's actually a warm-up, for the next climb

So if someone is promising you a rosy future
Trust me, it's a white lie

For they haven't thought it through, of the micro pebbles
That later may turn into a landslide

None can be sure what the end will look like
But the exploring part, that's where the beauty lies

Intentions is all that matters to stick together
When things will be dry
Coz in the highs, even an unknown will come
And give you a high-five

A parallel support is all you need, to walk hand in hand
And not a pole, to hold upon and support your clan

Respecting your No's by allowing that space
To ensure your own identity thrives
And not someone who'll want to subsume your "I"

For the story isn't nice coz the end is going to be happy
It is nice, coz the characters in it had the ability
To make you smile

PS: Though the rail tracks (Above metaphor) are parallel always. But there does come an intersection point, if you know what I mean 😉

May The Force Be With You !!!

Getting Lost, To Be Found

Sometimes I wish to runaway
From all this chaos

Sometimes I wish to runaway
From this life of merely
Breathing In and Breathing Out

Sometimes I wish to runaway
From all the unnecessary questions
I am forced to talk on

Sometimes I wish to runaway
From people, who I can't hurt
But sometimes, I cant take them along

Sometimes I wish to runaway
From happening of predictable events
Where we are forced to act surprised in and out

Sometimes I wish to runaway
From these masked people
Who act as if they care a lot

Sometimes I wish to runaway
To see who will try and track me down

Or sometimes I wish to runaway
To ensure no one ever finds the path
I treaded upon

Difficult it is, actually, to zero it down
For the list of reasons to run away
Might turn out to be a mile long

I guess, sometimes I just wish to runaway
Only to be found

-SR

PS: May The Force Be With You !!

You Are The Reason

Everything happens for a reason
You make up afterwards

How we always feel it was planned
But choose to ignore that only we did it

It won't move until we move
But we pin it on a Superpower
That the wheels were already in motion

It is what we do that defines us
Not what you can be or what you are beneath

Each setback if it leads to introspection
Then the process to carve a new path
Has already begun

It is essential to stay humble in success
Coz success and respect don't come together
They are mutually exclusive

But in the dark corners of the room
Where you cried once when chips were down
Do pat yourself, for your own efforts

Pain

Pain is the new breather
Pain is soothing

Coz until we aren't in pain
We allow our body to drain

No matter how much we gain
We will still be left with something to attain

No Pain No Gain, agreed
But to what extent, we fail to ascertain

Outside pain, still, it can be restrained
But when it hits from the inside
That's when it is difficult to be contained

How far we go, hurting people in the lane
We don't realise until we are left alone in pain

Knock Knock

Why being alone isn't acceptable
Sometimes it can be out of choice too

Why being in a company, only, makes people feel better
What guarantee does it have, that the company is happy
Many a times it is forced upon or obligatory

Why is it necessary to invade someone's personal space
Is it to gain a moral victory, of not leaving someone alone?

Each one has their own battles to fight
Everyone have their own way to deal with their plight

What right do we have to intervene in that process
Is it necessary to be a Messiah in everyone's distress?

Self Introspection, you need to be alone
To decide upon a situation, one needs to be alone
Sorting out the life's puzzle, you need to be alone
Clearing the air on your beliefs, one needs to be alone

Among the many, I mentioned a few of them above
So atleast next time when you see someone alone
Make sure you knock, instead of barging from the back door

PS: Even to write, you have to be alone.
