Do you remember?


Hey, do you still remember,
All the things, we bonded over.

Can you name them in one go,
Or should I count and let you know?

About the course, we would rather do,
When we were running from the summer loo.

Adventures of Han, Leia and Luke.
Who among R2 or BB-8 is cute?

Choosing fav from the superhero clan,
And shouting friendly neighbourhood Spider-Man 🕷

All the songs that got the fame,
While listening to Akcent's That's My Name.

Believe me, it's not just these four,
If you are ready we can count on some more.

The temper tantrums that we threw,
The childhood skirmishes as if we were Sun Tzu.

The crushes that we had,
All the things we did to make each other mad.

A bunch of Happy Meals that we ordered,
Fighting for the toys and getting them reordered.

Splurging our banknotes,
Me on Indian coins, you on World currency notes.

No, I am not done at eight
You might forget but I am not letting them fade.

Talking about all the work in the office,
Laughing at the antics of Michael, Dwight from The Office.

Buying goodies at the Comic-Con booth,
Getting chocolates cause I have a sweet tooth.

Sitting outside Costa Coffee,
Discussing history and geography.

The time spent on cooking,
Your delicious pasta and my wheat flour pudding.

Can mention more than these twelve,
Just stopping cause there are so many to tell.

Will, you still remember,
All the things, we bonded over,
Before you left me,
And it was game over.

Game Of Fire and Ice

Hey Mister, Why won't you play a game of Twister? I promise I won't play coy. Won't you love it if I were your only toy? You can be the Lion in the boardroom, Then make me roar in the bedroom. Let's play the game of fire and ice. You bring the sugar, and I get the spice. I am praying by myself these nights, Drowning my moans when the city sleeps tight. We can play the game of Super Sonic, And then have our own race over some gin and tonic. So find me, like an app can find a phone. No, I won't bring out my Medusa and turn you into stone. I have been getting over my fears, Learned to make my tears into spears. You can take me as you like. We can go until we hear the third strike.

Polished Sins

  A suit and tie, that polished smile, Covering up sins stacked mile by mile. They flaunt “new love,” someone else’s child— A ready-made story, perfectly styled. They’ve “levelled up,” or so they preach, But on someone’s pain, they made their reach, With vows of loyalty, words so neat, While another’s screams lie beneath their feet. Oh, they “moved on” to brighter skies, Leaving someone broken, with silent cries. They mount new heights, they shout and boast— Scaling peaks on another's haunted ghost. So smile for the camera, flash your pride, Show off the life that you tried to hide. For we know the truth beneath your gleam— A hollow show, a self-made scheme.

Till You Sing

Some would say men went to war for women like you, But I would still choose war if it meant choosing you. You say you write in amorous lines, But I would let you be the woman of my tribe. You had your adventures Under The Buda Moon, But have you been loved past noon? So I can see you shine like a magical flower, In the quiet warmth of the golden hour. The invisible strings pull at my heart Can I do justice to your name? Caress you right, Till you sing like a Carnatic hymn. Inspired by the author of Under The Buda Moon,  Veena Rao
