there she goes again ..

The birds fly away to the southern sky searching a home

A bunch of paper flowers or a little boy left all alone

Can somebody hear me I'm screaming from so far away

Morning who will calm you now, the evening is eclipsed again

It was spring. The air was dry allaround, yet the room had a moist smell. His dark skin had a whitish dryness. It itched, and thus wasnt comfortimg. That aura was gone, long gone. His face didnt had that glow anymore. He looked like a child who had lost his most precious toy recently and wasnt quite happy without it. Running his hands through his cluttered hairs he yawned again, as if he had nothing to do since long. He wasnt the most free of guys, but he wasnt busy as well.

Whatever it was , it was all unlikely. Things wont be the same ever again. He had made a move & probably there was no turning back now. He had lost his own game. A game he used to master. A game everyone consider him champ of. But days arent the same throughout, and now his time had come. For the first time he had been made to look in to the mirror, right in to a loser's eyes.

It was the last day, no farewell nothing , but it was the last day . Something was ending, but the question was .. Is this the dead end ? There was no question of turning back, rather there was no road that could lead him back to where he was months ago. He had come a long way, yet it felt as if he had been standing at the same place , waiting for someone who could make him realise that the place wasnt the same , that he had moved & that he had moved rightly. But there was no one to tell him, everything was parting.

His feet were working, the bicycle was moving ahead, but where was he going ?? Did he really knew where he wanted to end up, nobody knew that. Neither him, nor his feet. And then came the moment. She appeared from the corner of the street. As beautiful as ever, as innocent as a kid. She continued her journey towards her home. They lived in the same building, flats facing one another. They had been close, they had played a lot but was that enough ??

He wished her mom a good evening. He knew it was the last time he did that. They would be leaving tomorrow, to a place which he might not visit ever in his lifetime. They might not be together anymore. And it made him feel lonely. He knew that it was bound to happen, but there are infinite things that are bound to happen , but do we really accept them just because they were supposed to happen ? After pondering over the memories for an hour, he finally managed reaching back home. The moment he opened the door, she came running to him. he picked her up, in his arms. She wasnt that heavy, and even if she was, the very pleasure of holding her made her weightless. And with all innocence she yelled ::

" Anuj bhaiya, hum to kal ja rahe hain. Aap bhi hamare saath chalo na"

ANuj :: " Bantu , I cannot come with you. Main to apne mom dad ke paas rahoonga"

BAntu :: " Haan to main bhi apne mom dad ke paas rahoongi " . " AAp muje miss to karoge na "

Anuj :: " are beta .. aapko kaise bhul sakte hain .. itne pyaare bachoon ko koi bhoolte thode hi hai . Par aap promise karo ki aap bilkul bhi shaitaniyan kam nhin karoge .. promise karo ki agli baar jab aap miloge to isse bhi jyada shaitan hoge "

And she bursts in to that killing laughter.

The next day she left him, wayed a big byeeee ... a few phone after that & now she exists only in her memories. And he wonders, why do they call kids cute if they can really make u feel sick !!

to d reader :: wht did u thought haan . heheheheheeheh .

PS :: Actually it wasnt a gal, rather it was a sweet sa boy named bantu ... jst 3 yrs of age .. and m happy that i spent some time of life watching a young kid make a fool of me & make everyone laugh with his wits & sweeeet poems. But the sex was changed jst for fun. Had nothing else to write.
