The changing faces

                                 In IISc, on an afternoon solitary walk, Jan 26th, 2017.
Two of you appeared in the same frame
Whizzing past each time I blinked
The friends too
With vivid scenes
Of climbing stairs
And food
Uneaten;
The keys fell into the water
And never came out
The stairs finished before the landing
You did not stop, changing
Any of you, though
Would have been, just fine
For me, to hold onto.

Buried sorrow

                                                 24th November, 2016, Gurugram.
Deep inside they remain
The scars of time
We fight the forgiveness
Not easy to come by
On the other side;
The smiles, the fragrance, the colors
In spite so bright
Continue the life
Coexistent peaceful even more
With buried sorrows, deep inside.
