In My Life

I am doing pretty okay at work these days. I have been offered many jobs. I have applied for few. And when I came back from travels, I didn't worry about it, and the jobs came. But I'm not doing so well in other terms. Someone who I have known for a while on and off and of whom I can say so much about and at the same time, little of, is leaving to go to San Fransisco indefinately. For those of you who know me know of her but not who she is. And I dare to say likewise. What I can say is that it is making me terribly sad that she is leaving. Partly because I have just got re aquainted with her again.

I have written many poems in my life. And they are mostly about and for her. Here is one I wrote a few months ago. This will be the only one i will be putting on, this will only be the only entry i will mention her.


Just a Girl

In the patchwork freckles on pale skin,
Tell a lot about where she’s been,
From Mount Fuji to San Fransisco,
There’s no telling where next she’ll go.

In the mirrorball twinkle of her eyes,
Speaks about a love that never dies,
Despite a time when everything mattered,
Had left the other, forever shattered.

In the lines ingrained into her hands,
Told of living in separate lands,
And time did stutter along, apart,
But still recalled a broken heart.

In the Earth and sky between,
Nothing is something quite what it seems,
In the story of a wave unfurled,
All she was, was just a girl.
