Your Birthday Gift

 

 

( This poem was not written to be put on this  blog…. I just wrote it for my friend Yashi as it was her birthday and I had nothing to give her …. but just wat I have )

 I stand with an upturned lip
I stare at my slanting feet
I thought I’ll give you the best gift
Alas! I feel lost in the mist

Of broken smiles and powdered faces
Of compressed sighs and shackled graces

And a tear trickles down my glazed eyes
Leaving a trail of charred cries

It lurks in a corner
I wait to take it back with me
It’s invisible among tinsel wrappers
And glitter of fashionable philosophy

I had thought I’ll give you the best gift
But then the child in me is cruel indeed

No one told me what you like
Honestly I did not care inside
I painted a face
As I see yours in an embrace
Marveling at its accuracy
I completely forgot its utility

Now I feel ashamed
Something in me has been unwillingly framed
If only I had thought
What would appeal and what not
My gift would have starred
This movie starring labels of all sorts

But does it count?
What matters? My reality or your frown
I only wanted to give you the best gift
Now I take it back, away from such intricacies

    you guys just relax …. and anyways this is none of your business ……..
    So keep your ruddy mouth shut

  4. Hey Sumit and Shiven …. why are you bothered???
    You know what kind of person Vaibhav is …. or should I repeat the story of Sunny …. and og Komal … and of that Teastall?…..
    You juzz look at yourselves ……..

  5. Thank You Sumit , Shiven for remindind how a Fucking Asshole I am .
    But I am really feeling sorr for myself…… you , being a friend and knowing what had happened between me and Disha , are saying this .
    And yeah I really need no assistance from guys who know less about relationships than I do (which is , I know very less).
    And from those who really cant respect friendship between a girl and a boy , who just see the sex thing between them .

    And yeah , since you were my friend(for considerably very short period of time)
    I promise you that if ever I feel any emotions (like love) for Yashika ,
    I’d be the only one to know except her…….. And noone else will ever know (surely not you)
    And yeah stop commenting on this fuckin blog ,
    I believe you have an even better one …….. surely your dad has got you a membership of….. so please..
    Goodbye, and you are not at all welcome here.

    I need no assistance

    Some people are fucking their arses for nothing .

  10. Achha yaar ……… sorry !!
    Aur ab tu purani baatein bhulega??
    I never wanted to be redeemed by your loss ……
    What is my fault if my sister couldnot remember the stuff …
    Its always the duty of a brother to back his sister up!
    M really sorry for the embaraasment that you felt …!
    sorry ………!
    I have nothing more to say

    All the words were taken from me last months … when I was standing with a shameful innocence at your place .. I hope you remember that …….
    And thanx to you …….. I dont have any magazine contracts …….. and I have no money ….
    If you are goin to give me the statement you have just left ……… then…….. I’ll pity you ….. and I’ll pity myself for such a miserable (so called) friend.
