It's interesting to find solace in the arms of a cloud.
I want my thoughts to be recorded and expose my heart behind a glass wall.
I want to be seen but never touched
Yet, I don't comment on the footprints I leave everytime I decide to walk online.
Maybe I don't want to be exposed
but found.

VR
In times where reality
is restricted and numb,
virtual spaces become
the commonality.
I have lived in virtual reality since the beginning of March. It's given me a safe place and many new friends. I hope everyone is staying safe and in good health.

The world has turned into a global village
No one can deny on that...

But..remember the phone we had placed on that beautiful table mat?
Yes...it was a matter of pride to have one..

The only fastest medium of communication we had at that time
It too had models...the rotary phone, the keypad and many fancy ones

We talked, laughed and sobbed sitting at one place as we were tied with the corded set with everyone.

It was safe.....no fear of radiation or loss of eye sight .

Though it was much too costlier than what it is today....people still communicated and talked their heart out

Now...every hand has a cell phone which comes with many features overcoming the limitation of the old one
People can connect anywhere in no time
Then why...?
We are so disconnected.....!

May be we mastered the art of telepathy?...or we are blessed with a magical wand...?

We talk no more
We only make groups
We love forwarding messages

We have become mute.....

So can we again move to landline?
Come out of the virtual world by talking to our dear ones at this time?
Can we try and understand what they are hiding behind their smiling whatsapp profiles?

Let's do things one at a time...rather than multitasking with phone on one hand and laptop on the other...
Let's give them the love and respect when one needs from your side.
So ..... sit back and dial a number of your loved one...and help the world again to become one if not through landline but may be your heartline!!

The perfect little life
Glowing Skin

Forever Happy Life!
Is it real or just fantasy?
Is it true or you just showing off?

The flawless talents you claim to have
In your virtual reality
Rising from social media industry
You sure you're nothing but a slave?
Slave to self created lies and misery...

With all this artificial manufacturing
Even the modern music sounds so boring.
The love for auto-tuned vocals and beats
I find it full of ****!
Nothing comes natural
Nothing's raw anymore
Cause everyone seems to forget
Mistakes make the better tune
Not just in music but in life too.

Now
Everything needs to be comfortable
Everything needs to be fast
All of us have become so impatient
This obscure routine seems reliable
Bound to the super computer in our palms
Rotating through 3 apps whole day
All we do is rage and moan.

My perfect little dream
Collapsing in front of my eyes
and refusing to do anything
but become a digital world zombie...

If only you knew

When I have to feel
Alive
Calm and peaceful
I think of you
And call it
A living

For me
Always
You are sacred
And not too far

You tried to make me believe
"You are virtual/abstract"
In a honest way
If so then
Ain't I, a living dead?
Or who else am I?

He caught my eye
It’s a little weird but for him I might even die
He put a spell on me
But don’t set me free
Feeling a connection
Craving some affection
We haven’t met
This is a love which even I don’t get
My eyes desire you
Cheeks burn at your view
Our worlds are not same
You live in a game
Everyday sitting in front of the tv
Thinking of ways to make you 3D
Imagining

It all began that  night,
when you were lonely,
that one night when he left,
that one-night you'd never forget
he broke your trust and shattered your heart,
left you glum, heart-broken, and full of misery,

You decided to go online and have a little fun,
Just to escape the pain and forget the thing he has done,
I was online that time with no one to talk to,
Decided to have a chat with a stranger like you,
little that I know you were broken-hearted too,
then i made up my mind and tried to approach you (virtually),

The conversation he had gone longer than it was supposed to,
two more nights and I mustered my courage then planned to tell you how I felt for you,
I wasn't expecting to get a positive reply from you but,
somehow you told me that maybe you love me too,

Nights went longer and we ain't sad no more,
for there it was, the love that we were waiting for,
together with us, in our hearts and soul,
for each night that we had simple talks but went on longer,
we always end it with a mutual "Goodnight, I love you."

A month went on, we still contact each other,
As the nights grow longer your replies became shorter,
As this went on, I couldn't help but worry and cry,
what if I will be abandoned  again just like the last time,
what if all those nights will just  turn out as wasted time,
why would you waste those wonderful nights of our stupidity and amusement,
with a little bit of satisfaction and pleasure sometimes,

months went on and had passed us by,
decided to meet  this secret lover in real life,
we met as planned but didn't get along as expected,
I was too shy and that is never exaggerated,
I was your banker and you were my boss,

I keep your money (not really yours),and tell me when to procure,
as the days go on i kept on thinking that maybe you never really loved me at all,
you only kept me so you could brag it to your friends and at school,
well I know I was never ever cool at all,nope not once,

maybe we should have never met at all,
maybe we should have stayed friends,
maybe just lovers over the phone,
just like how we started, back as virtual lovers.
love anton
