FREE SECONDS

i lived life in moments
in patches of lush green
amidst hours slogging
some experiences unseen!

i lived life in drops
wet all through---
hanging from the vessel
emotions so very true.


i lived life warm:
with hot 'puris' and steamy 'chai'
one puff of smoke i wanted to have
he said,"dont dare you try!"

joy befriended---
made friends with me!
though for a split second
it left me feeling free.

i lived life wading
dragging myself in knee-deep;
wished to hold the moments
in a few megapixels
but alas!had to live them
through my 'unspectacled' vision!!

seconds later, left he y\turned, and as
he vanished into the concrete
my lip curve straightened!
the continuity was broken
all became discrete.

the 'hollow' me reborn
very low i had to stoop;
gone was he- my 'mit'
straight i had to move....
