Insufficient Love

God's Angel looked down from heaven
All by herself night and day,
She carried souls that were born
And blessed by Death who lay.

God's Devil looked up from hell
All by himself night and day,
He carried souls to be punished
For lives led in the wrong way.

Once, God called upon the Devil
To decide the fate of a soul
Though the soul's early life was wrong
Later, righteousness became his goal.

God considered every action of his
“Hell it is”, was God's conclusion
But as Devil lifted the pleading soul
Angel entered to declare her objection.

Devil's eyes met those of Angel's
Captivated by her, he stood mesmerized
As she put to words, her sweet thoughts,
"Isn’t Heaven for its kindness recognized?"

God gave Angel's suggestion a thought
And realized that she was right
The thankful soul fell on Angel's feet
Even Devil's dark thoughts saw light.

Angel and Devil took leave from God
But not so soon from each other
Devil kneeled down in front of the damsel
"I am enthralled by your splendor."

"Those eyes of yours below that brow
And that cheek that can charm anybody
The smile that can win any heart
Just leaves me to say- I love thee."

Angel bent down to kiss him
And said- "Between me and you
A million differences might exist
Yet dear Devil, I love thee too.

But alas, love is not sufficient
For the union of two hearts
When nature plants them in bodies
With destinies that are poles apart.”

Could not be Replaced

Elena’s hair had been combed and she had been put to bed in her sleeping gown. It was unclear at this moment if this happened for real or it was so deeply embedded in a guilty mind that it taken the shape of reality. However, Elena was nowhere to be found. The little girl had looked everywhere in the house but Elena wasn’t there. Her mother and father suggested places where Elena could be but the little girl had already searched those particular places a number of times. Elena wasn’t where she was supposed to be & she wasn’t even anywhere else. Tears sparkled in the eyes of an eight year old girl as she stood looking at an unoccupied bed. She had earlier not wanted to waste time crying but now there seemed to be nothing else to do. The tears rolled down her cheeks, the sobs made their way in her breath and eventually, her cries had brought her parents. They scanned the cupboard & lifted objects around the room but everybody knew Elena wasn’t there. “We will get you another dol...

Human Mind- Unknown!

Human Mind! God’s splendid creation You can be read by anyone, yet no one What you think might come before everyone Why you think so requires realization You hide within yourself your emotion Though you crave for it to be known by someone Then you feel you are understood by none And quietly dream of the desired affection. Well, if you open your eyes And take a look at the world around You will see you are not alone These thoughts that you wish to disguise In every mind, they can be found And what is known by all, is named unknown .

What is leaving really like

Once you decide to leave a city You imagine all the final goodbyes And what they’ll feel like Much much before your last day arrives. You make a mental list or a tangible one Of all the places to revisit And the people to meet So many memories to celebrate And moments to regreet. You smile in the distance imagining What those people may say And what you may say in return Almost looking forward to The teary smiles and warm hugs And you wonder whether Those who have wronged you Will come clean and apologise You wipe away a tear when you realise How everyone will wish There was still some more time. But there isn’t. And you struggle to find space For every promised catchup And the new ones who casually said “We must meet before you leave” Some evenings you want to pause Skip dinner and get early to bed But the days are already too brief And you can’t afford any regrets. As the final week draws close You notice the other lasts The last time you cross  The city’s bustling market Or find...
