Introspection

It's not about success anymore. It's about happiness. That's what makes you successful.

Wait

Another lonely night
Ghastly!
Thunderous clouds just cried

Stars have gone to sleep
Exhausted
Shining besides mountain - so steep

I'm all alone
Waiting
For someone, my own

Memories come flooding
Trapped
Between the wrinkles - budding

The first time we ever met
Serendipity!
It was. It wasn't love, yet

Those serene eyes rested on mine
Enraptured,
I stood, as though I saw Divine

I began to say when you
Stopped.
Your finger on my lips - and dew

'Wait till midnight,' A whisper said
Anticipative,
I smiled while you left

I waited. Days. Months. Years.
Forty-five
The wait doesn't get over, here

The whisper haunts my life
Love
Betrays me every midnight

Old, withered and desolate
Hopeful
Of seeing those eyes again, I wait

The Fighter

Things are wrong, things are right
I speak truth, I don't fight

People defy, revolt and ignite
I speak truth, I don't fight

Ruthless, inhuman, were those Whites
I spoke truth, I didn't fight

Violence, famines, I saw all the plight
I spoke truth, I didn't fight

I am not weak, nor am I bright
I speak truth, I don't fight

When faith wavered, none held me tight
I spoke truth, I didn't fight

I didn't fight. I didn't need to fight.
With truth as my weapon, I already won the fight.

P.S. Check the date today.
