Leaves are falling
in a state of green
as they gyrate
to the song of a birdie
that I had seen,
12 months back.

Could it be Spring,
a play of colors,
shades and tints?
In a land, leaking green,
where leaves tend to wink
while settling in a new routine.

All the hues, feather & due
merged into an orange,
petal in front of me.
that was too keen
to go back into it's reality.
Outside the Window,
a world of dreams
nature's glow
that can't be seen
while you face a screen
buried in a chair
wonder where
it 'Smells like Spring'.

What's in holding hands now,
when later you'll not even remember
the color of eyes of your lover.
What's in bringing favorite flower,
when you're going to forget,
the first time how you both met.

Sick of falling in love,
I'd rather stay out of love.
For I hate looking at
red fake beating hearts,
or the cupid who's got
no better work to do
than making and breaking
creating and destroying
stupid hearts, endings and starts.

Counting like I always do,
but not days this time,
or shades of black and blue.
Stars appear less in number,
all fallen to make my wish come true?
or are they tryin to hide behind,
the sheet of smoke and dust?
I'm not trying to even find,
why stars don't shine bright enough,
or how they hear the bells chime
when two souls fall in love.

Maybe they just pretend,
how the days they spend,
waiting to get one glimpse,
to feel the countless butterflies,
and to believe known lies.

It's good I don't feel anymore,
numb to the core,
Anti- Love a few more days
before I start hunting for
eye candies?!?

Another day a new word,
same old skin a new wound.
Borrowed a smile from a stranger,
before I painted myself
in colours of life,
over reds of danger.

I thought we had moved on,
'Cause I left 'us' way behind.
I knew you'd be gone,
if I looked back,
one last time.

Now I really can't decide,
if I made a mistake,
by choosing dark,
over light.
'Cause now I am,
in the depths of the song,
that you wrote for me,
the words you sang to me,
strings you played,
before fading with,
the crashing waves,
in an endless sea.

But,
I thought we had moved on,
'Cause I left 'us' way behind.
I thought you'd be gone,
but,
when I looked back,
I had been wrong,
all this while,
I wasn't alone.
when I saw you smile,
I knew I was falling again,
falling in love again.
