Routine of Untangling Tassels
Routine of Untangling Tassels


Time is pacing in onward motion;
My mind is stuck with the wayward emotion;
Days and nights pass as a time-lapse quickness;
After you left, I suffer relapses of sickness.
Nonchalantly, I cook, eat, and work as routine;
Hardly my brain secretes any serotonin.
Angry and frustrated on myself without reasons;
Indeed, my reasons know you change like seasons.
Missing you is the constant BGM in my head;
And the music swells into songs when I am on my bed.
I still walk on the same corridors but without you;
Once, I even walked mindlessly into men's loo.
Why have you closed me as a chapter?
I don't know why my mind still keeps you as my captor!
The key chain you buy as souvenir from Le Ladakh
Still hangs on my bag without any conscious gridlock;
It was just a common souvenir, you gave to all,
Yet, you and others lost it via a random fall;
I don't know why it stays with me so long
Then, even our friendship was not that strong;
Now, everyday I untangle the keychain's colorful tassels
With colorless tears by building romantic castles,
With the hope to tangle my path with your journey
For nothing beyond your happy company...
