For Once.

How many times can a person fall in love? Countless?
But is there a love that suffices a lifetime, if not last?

"For Once."
-AAKRITI THATAL

Was it Fear that held me back? 
The fear of not matching shoulders? 
The fear of not being liked? 

Or, was it leakage? 
A leakage, taking away the zest from my life. 
Life from my soul. 
A leakage, never sealed. 

Could it be that I got carried away? 
This mind I possess took things to a station unvisited. 

"Love is Eternal." 
The heart knows not much about love, but it is learning lessons on Sacrifice. 
This soul knows not many, but it knows You belonged here. 

Eternity sounded large. 
However, none realised it was as large as large could be. And we, we were larger. 

Stages stepped on with age. 
Faces new with every changing phase. 
Emotions and speculations on New people. 
New people, knew little. 

The tenure was uncertain. 
The tenure was not detrimental.
What has Time to do at all, that 'tenure' even strikes a chance? 


With some time passing by, realisation hit- Time isn't the Ultimatum. The Ultimatum is the feeling. 

We are two souls. 
Alongside for now, not knowing what Time has for Us. On the verge of Diversion, are our two souls. Two souls that are almost One. 

Diversion knows paths. 
Paths that are parallel.
They go on as long as forever, but never do they meet. 

So are we. 
We are almost One, because we are only parallel. 

Well, the answers are still unfounded. 
And this life will go on as one soul, which felt complete once. 
Completion is certain. 
It will go on forever, yet alone. 
Is it fear, a leakage, a takeaway or just Love?

Fag.

-Aakriti Thatal Lighting Her first cigarette, Inhaling the smoke, the heat and the pang: She let her colours show And Her wings out. She shone. Brighter than the flame igniting her fag, did she shine. The flakes fluttering in the void, glowed'. Orange. Vibrant. She was Happy. The other smiled there, the passive smoker. Smiled. Smiling. Smile. Smile? The cigarette was Blithe. Life. She lived One. With cigarettes taking her breath little-by-little, did she live. She lived Once. Taking in the last puff, She smiled, hollow. Pain. End. Life. Once. One. Cigarettes. Her inhaler. Little did it take for the bright flakes fluttering, turn Gray. A very short while. Ash. They were Happy for a very short while.

Power

-AAKRITI THATAL. I look at myself, sometimes; Superficially. The skin- Dark. Gloomy.  I go deeper. Not skin-deep. Deeper beneath.  Choking, struggling to break free from  A life that is only a Lie.  A Lie- Cold and Intolerable.  With cavernous darkness emanating  From the grotto of 'the core'- The Heart.  A Lie, I am unaware of. Crawling and flowing through every vein in my body; A piece of me, ephemeral.  My eyes are dark and criminal. So many things seen but not shown.  'Views', unfathomable, Actions, unpleasant to the soul.  These eyes have seen the others Shine and also cry; These eyes have lived long enough to 'just die'.  Trepidant lips, trying to utter words to expedite emotions; Trying to jerk up a lip into a word. Struggling the best to make my feelings and thoughts more accentuated.  These lips have a multitude of tales to tell. I WISH I HAD THE POWER.  I WISH PEOPLE KNEW.  I WISH

I used to draw flowers when strong desires in me sprang,  To maneuver things to have my way.  I coddled those desires in me for they were almost definite and such promise kept me impelled. They were scattered here, and blotched there,  However, they were outward.  Those evocative desires punctured every stub of confusion and left me aching for more display, more flowers. Those plump, pretty flowers would pucker publicly and throb with clear pulse,  Almost loud, almost definite, almost tangible.  The flowers withered. They wilted, uncared for.  They wilted upon strenous trials of colouring them with self-indulgence,  And not letting them breathe at their pace. / Today, a wall exists where used to be flowers; my hands no longer draw them.  In trying to paint geometric, precise, absolute figures; the imperfect, raw, sincere flowers sagged.  My hands are now entrapped, not engrossed.  I view the outcome from this distance and refuse to appreciate the brick wall, but cannot appreciate the f
