Sands of Time

The Perky anecdotes….And taunting darts
Some golden memories……And hearty laughs
The moments you cherished and I did too.

The hectic schedules……And stressful time
The pressing deadlines…..and routine that rhymed
The busier you got and I did too.

This baffling life……And ups and downs
We cheered each other ……And acted as clowns
You said “I am here” and I did too.

With changing priorities…And changes in you
Bud seasons have gone….you bid us adieu
You said, “Please understand”, and I will do.

Trust only Hope !!

Don’t depend on others
Your hopes shall stem
You'll lose their sight
When you most need them

They'll be with you
When you are full of glow
The first dapple of dust
They exit before you know

There might be a lesson
But what should I infer
Stop trusting friends?
My heart doesn’t concur

My view is hazy in mist
Not transparent as a glass
Every day brings a hope
So I'll let this night pass
