the ballad completed

the dinner goes great
and all seems well
unknown to me in the shadows
does a suitor dwell

step back and quit
or should I hover
dubious characteristics
of a surreptitious lover

forget it all ?
or share it with the muse!
win or no win
what do I lose?

a decision taken
makes me deranged
her best choice
a marriage prearranged

jindagi main hota hain
inshallah wahi
tu nahi
to teri dost hi sahi

Non Literal Translation
(god willing is all
that happens in life
if not you
maybe your friend
as my wife ? :P
)

the last para suggests
am an optimist core
but now I choose to close
a chapter in this lore

the incomplete ballad

just another day
what the heck!
gotta goto an event
tuesday biotech

middle of a talk
my mind goes slack
whos she
the girl in black

go introduce
i tell myself
shy by nature
I need some help

inch by inch
i shuffle my feet
garner guts
go up n greet

impending vacation
month of a wait
might make things
a bit too late

point of contact
is what i can use
add her on facebook
what do I lose

msg by msg
line by line
a simple hello
builds a conversation divine

ask her out
my roomies shout
a full two months
it takes me about

she suggests
a classy place
wanna know more
just watch this space
