Perspective

A peculiar fog surrounds
The watch shows noon
but sun is nowhere to be seen 
A silence has spread around
Every gust of wind
has a sense of shock to it
as if it is warning
every bud
not to blossom
or the fragrance will be stolen
'Your youth was till today'
Having forgotten how to sing
sparrows are screaming
Up in the skies
crows have overthrown eagles
Looks like
it will rain..
-Devansh Kalia

Liberation

Yesterday
in my dream
You visited me
my friend
to share a drink

Had you not quit drinking?
You confessed to me
with a visible restraint
in your eyes
I remember

That restraint
you had dropped somewhere
On the way
to the dream
For it is your habit
friend

I am ready
Tell me
Will you pour me
A drink?
