Defeat

i love doing something,
i keep doing it,
i know i am good at it.
one day, another person
is also good at it.
he is my arch nemesis,
i feel, for a second.
i lost my passion 
for something that second.
this is defeat. and
i learnt that external
factors shouldn't even
touch me. 

her

she had a glistening curious eye
yearning to see magic.
her barren feet dusty enough
showed that she grew from
this ground.
was rolling a long thread round 
a string in patterns possible
and suddenly noticed me noticing.
i was out of the library on
the mud with earphones high,
my eyes resisting to turn away
from her as my mind was silenced.
she gave me a smile gentle enough
for me to smile back, walked away
with something in her mind.
i couldn't help it but my mind
kept flashing every colour of
human race which is
dimming her life.

wondering!

Wondering wondering wondering 

where its leading me.

no peace of soul

restless brain.

the unstoppable heart

keep changing the beat.

a highly unstable magnetic field,

attracting in every direction

now and then.

the constant passing of clouds, 

makes the heart curious

to know the constant cloud.

sitting on the floor'

staring into the air,

and wondering.
