The House

The abode where we retire each day,
The dwelling we lovingly call home,
It goes through everything with us.
Have you ever wondered?

It absorbs your sorrows,
It smiles at yours cheers,
But sometimes, when the party music gets too loud for it,
It passes it to our vicinities.

Occasionally,when we are contending over a decision
May be it tries to suggest something.
Have you ever listened carefully?
And at times, when we are overwhelmed,
May be it asks us to calm down?

As long as we live in this abode,
It makes us a part and parcel of its subsistence.
But I sense even if we leave and move,
The house certainly remembers us by!

The fortune called 'MOM'

An epitome of sacrifice,
A tower of grace,
Tons of scary missed calls,
And the probe of 'Did you eat?'
Do we even need to ask who?
Of course!She is the treasure we call 'MOM'

She is the reason,we touch the moon,
She cuts us slack each time we slump,
And yet, we ask 'why do you annoy us,Mom!?'
Don't you think that is why
She reminds us each time,about the nine months bump?

Her interest peaks each time we like something,
Her face sparkles every time we win,
She may not speak the volume of pain and panic
She experiences to let us leave our homes,
To embrace freedom and to live life
On our own terms.
But, she braves it all, only for us.

Is it all very easy for her?
Absolutely not!
But is it worthy, Yes all of it.
She gives us uninterrupted attention,
Unlike us who answer her
In between Netflix binges.

Today, on this random day,
I urge you to make more time for MOM,
Let's take her along our journeys
She never left us behind,
Then,Why should we?

P.S: This one is dedicated to the creator of my friends and my people, because of who my support system exists in today's world. Cannot thank you enough :)

Pain Management

Did you know,
it takes a lot
to manage pain?

We habitually try to 
Numb it,
Slurp it,
Gulp it, 
Or sometimes
Smog it.

But,what our souls
Really need is,
To feel it all,
To process it all,
And
Let go of it all.

So,can we pledge,
To place ourselves first,
When in pain?

Practice tough love,
Talk it out,
Accentuate self care,
Owing to the fact that,
This is the time when,
You need yourself,
The most.

Do not let it go,
Down!
Listen up! You,
Yes, you and you too,
You have got this.
Pain only gets the better of us.
So,let's vow to govern it,
With a lot of special care :)

16 Again

Isn't it amazing?
How an evening date 
Turns a lad 
Into a gallant gentleman?

Isn't the expression,
Cute?
When they ask,
'But,Why Not?' 

Isn't it awe-inspiring?
How every time 
they are asked,
'What you up to?'
They inquisitively rejoinder
'So, what's the plan?'

Isn't it chivalrous?
In ways how,with a single
'Hey!'
They want to check in on you.

Isn't it also endearing?
That they do not
Pester,
While pestering to
Do the walk again. 

With all the 'hoodie' charisma,
In the air,
The heart whispers,
'Let's turn 16 again'.

Favorites

Let's play a game,
And call it
Favorites.
The one where,
We pretend to be inquisitive.
But truly what we want is,
To choose for one another.

Let's play a game,
And call it
Teen 'Agers'.
The one where,
We are high on life
          And
We say a 'forever yes' to each other.
 
Let's play a game,
And call it
Adulting.
The one where,
We hide the candor,
Saying a 'Yes' to self
And a definite 'No' to one another.

Let's play a game,
And call it
Life.
The one where,
You and I cast,
As each other's favorites
And remain so
For many lifetimes together.
