Dil to bachha hai ji.....!!..

He stands in silence
In the middle of nowhere..
Lost in sweet nothingness..in search of divinity..
The darkness wasnt his aide
nor was this emptiness his desire..
He didnt choose it ..

A boy had become a man this day..
the truth of life had been uncovered
an uncouth feeling drenched him
like the blissful rain
He had lost..something
somethin that he desired
that he had lived for
cherished in his dreams
and nurtured with his tears and sleepless nights
fathomless and cruel
destined to be grilled
in the mills of selfishness and insanity

this man had learnt a lot
someday gettin high meant on a swing
drinkin meant milk
love was mama's hug
dad's shoulder was the highest place on earth
his worst enemies were his siblings
the only thing that cud hurt was skinned knees
the only things broken were toys and knuckle bones
and goodbyes meant only till tomorrow..

See how time changes..

But still somewhere..lost within his existence
that small child yearns to come out
roam freely in the fields of delight
plucking happiness from trees
holding his dad's hand while crossing that busy street
cuddling up to mom for his chocolates and bedtime stories

somewhere
the innocence is still there
the desire still alive
there is still a child
deep down in his heart
somewhere

after all..
dil to bachha hai ji...
