Like you have never looked before.</p>
<p dir="ltr">I want nothing from you.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Neither words of comfort, nor condescension<br>
Neither your dreams, nor your demons.</p>
<p dir="ltr">I don't want you to recount<br>
How you chased autumn leaves in desert sands<br>
Or planted azure trees in barren lands.</p>
<p dir="ltr">I don't want your compassion<br>
Nor your pity<br>
Nor your judgements.</p>

Like you have never looked before.</p>
<p dir="ltr">I would rather you leave me<br>
To the rhythm of familiarity<br>
That you proclaim you have escaped,<br>
To the familiarity that is my world.<br>
The world you disown,<br>
The world happy with its reds, blues and greens<br>
Which does not know the intricacies of azure, sinoper and zaffre.</p>
<p dir="ltr">So, don't look at me like that.<br>
I suppose you have never really looked before.</p>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I had loved you for a brief while, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
in a city that was neither yours nor mine. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I had loved you in bright evenings and </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
dull days on dusty streets-</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
when we stood and stared at the jostling crowd</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
that would never be us.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I had loved you over iced lollies and cups of tea,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
stolen kisses and crowded buses</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and words that made sense if only </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the world stood still.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thousands of miles away from the city we had called ours,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
we walk in the crowd today, in conjugal harmony, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
while somewhere some versions of us vow to never drag their love</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
into the diminished ranks of daily symphonies.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
On us the joke is lost.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For the moment has passed</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and I don't love you anymore.</div>

"Is this home?", I exclaimed</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As I stepped back after a thousand years</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Into that funnel of people </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Drawing me into a whirlwind of colorful chaos,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But my heart perhaps did not need the answer. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For it has always known</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Where my restless soul stands and stares. </div>

<br />
They said that the breeze had a salty taste about it. But of course it would, given that it was blowing from the sea. It knew no conventions, or perhaps it was aware of the fact that adhering to conventions never got you anything. After all, it had to chart its own way through. So it blew, and brought along all that crossed its path.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
It was the wind beneath the wings of melancholy birds. It was the breeze that made happy flags flutter. It was the reason behind ruffled feathers and tousled hair. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
And then the happy wind descended on the dreary plain. A plain so plain, that it was almost mundane. A plain so bland, that it had no taste for salt. And the breeze blended in like it had never known what a tempest was. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Have you ever heard of a breeze that changed its path?</div>
<div>
<br /></div>

The wooden door squeaks open,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
her haunting face shines in candlelight.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Power cuts are still common.</div>
<span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline;"><div style="text-align: center;">
Cobwebs still crowd the ceilings,</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
alone midst the cacophony</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
of foreign tongues, high street clothing</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
plastic money and plastic smiles.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hills and fields i crossed, rode into the horizon,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
scaled skyscrapers.</div>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have crawled back</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
grasping hands of the familiar ghosts i had abandoned.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They never abandoned me.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I look at her</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
she passes me a smile</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I smile back at myself.</div>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">

She thought of the jubilant face of her lawyer and the camera flashes when she was taken out of the courtroom. They had won the case against this giant truck company and the jury had awarded her ten million dollars in compensation.</span><br />

She thought of the accident an year ago, when the runaway truck had run her over. All her limbs had to be amputated. Every moment had been a battle then on.</span><br />

The concept of death had always fascinated her. Death- that promised sweet deliverance from the daily monotony, that promised to mark an end to her numbness.</div>

Nothing about her life pleased her. Not the luxurious apartment. Neither the parties. Nor her loving husband her parents had chosen. She hovered over them all like a somnambulist, patiently waiting for the day she would embrace death as an equal.</div>

"Time for the first hostage to die", he screamed into the telephone for the cops outside to hear.</div>

The barrel of the gun felt cold against her forehead. As she stared at death in the face, for the first time in her life, she thought, <strong><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>"Life is Beautiful".</strong></div>
