Ankit Tripathi May 2018
You said from your ideal self
i heard from the real you
its a tale of the time when
the imperfect me met the imperfect you

Your fingers swirling stars,
you turn back when you want to whine,
your feeble likes and strong dislikes,
moving castle is your favourite story,
Rick and morty i have never watched but heard enough
to hold a talk,
random cartoons dose takes me high,
kiss smileys every morning and every night.

Gokarna, bijapur, karwar, veenu, manipal,
are few places I can count
an endless list of lab tours and
campus walks are not to be forgotten…fading is inevitably bound
I never told you that sometimes I walk behind you to know how it feels,
when you move on, far away from me.

After long notes and longer nights,
I am writing with the fewer words that I can find.
That street I pass every night knows I am hurt,
I scream your name with all my broken parts,
They say its a phase but I know its a ‘scar’,
only you can heal it with your gaze and touch.

I wonder how your smile has changed over the phone calls,
your breathe is all i know,
Its been long since I felt it, before I was caught in the right and the wrong.
Moral correctness is morally flawed,
because it listens to the stories of knightly mountains,
not the thin brook flowing down its bleeding rocks.

I am a burning candle who lights you when around,
but now you are gone I stand burning endlessly
I want you to cry, cry in my arms while my tears run down your neck,
silence be broken with pain and sorrow,
till the room is filled with smoke and the candle dies,
With the fading weep and drying tears darkness spreads in the world,
let the Gods above know that we have broken apart.
Driving on the highways and blessed by karma,
I rocked and rolled my way to the land of Gokarna!

Following the meandering roads, brushing the dusty streets and enduring my ships' rusty creaks,
I found myself surrounded by a medley of magical mystique.

The shimmering waves and the aroma of the salty seas,
The rustling music authored by leaves of the coconut trees..

I got high as I breathed nature,
Explored flora and fauna in unadulterated flavors!

I bathed and played on majestic Om beach,
The divine symbol etched so stark  like a figure of speech.

It was heavenly to watch evening sun glowing in its crimson hues,
Quenching itself over the horizon and bidding us a teary eyed adieu!

The rocks glowed silver 'Twas a full moon night,
It was ethereal walking on the beach under the moon lit skies!

Finally after all the fun over the weekend,
Like all good things, my journey tapered to an end.

Thanks to all the new friends I met tonight,
I have tales to tell and Stories to write!

— The End —
