Made of glass,
Reflecting your smile
And your frowns,
Playing the game
Just as I think, you want me to
But I am not a mirror...
Not like it matters, nothing does
I'm getting numb as the wind
Pierces through
Drying the kohl filled eyes
Don’t point at me
No longer please

I saw a peacock today
Wished it would leave me a feather or two
Hovering over my eyes
Are the fingers that point
I've tired so hard
To learn
To be
So forgive me for all I'll never be
And maybe someday
I'll forgive myself too.

Poems, fountains of words,
Rise n fall on emotional curves,
Sighs in punctuations,
And screams in a verse!!

I read your comment on Dreamcatcher's blog and a lil repartee ripped through me. I think it is perfectly awwite that you took so long to get a hold of Vishal. After all for a name which means HUGE it would only be just that you would require a huge number of attempts to get a hang of it :-p

Perfect pretext, the next time Vishal asks ya the reason you keep forgetting his name.
