Greetings Card

Dazzling greetings, warm wishes scrolling

Dear ones waiting for mandatory midnight call

Alcoholic celebration kicks off a frenzied 365 days

Cracking fireworks add toxic spark

Even the school goers' ambience are getting topsy-turvy

Late night parties wake up in a dizzy dawn 

Enjoying, dancing, screaming, shouting

Hugging, kissing one another

Gradually the inebriation fades away 

Under a table lamp or sitting in the river bank

Mourns for oneself 

Known faces bid adieu 

Lots of resolution dissolve in the rheum.

One day I pull my drawer 

And find an old friend, may be far away he is, 

On the left top corner my name still shinning

On the right bottom corner his name too 

We don't call, don't talk, don't meet, 

Don't dance on the new year eve 

But in between words of affection, love relive

It's not a relics of proximity.

I just fold it again and keep in the drawer 

With a silent message,

I get lots of greetings, but not a greetings card.
