Ratri Mandal Poems

Ten years have passed, things have changed,
You and me will never be the same,
While I have gained and lost so much on my way,
You too changed just a bit, but those trees don't tower over you today,
...

Dusk falls, darkness sets in moments after
Night falls, grows darker and darker
Soothing breeze relaxes my senses
But when I try to close my eyes, I never fall into a state deeper
...

Everything around is so strange
Nothing is in my range
Seems to be a conspiracy in the making
Against me, by all things around
...

Sitting by the window, there you are
Thinking what you will do tomorrow to make the ones after it better
Is the burden of failure too much to bear?
There is no use of crumbling under the pressure
...

It is hard to hold on to something
That is slipping away
The grip is getting loose
The hands are losing energy
...

Here's every one, people engrossed too deeply in technologies
I too make use of that, but feel like I'm living
In the previous century
I guess I've fallen back in time, beyond centuries
...
