Barca-tey kyu...khoya khoya chand ...

it is 2.54 am here now, and i was walking outside my hostel with a cig in hand. 
the sky was clear
and the moon was bright
i sat down somewhere in the open,
on a brick lane and
gazed at the stars..
are the constellations same in barcelona, i wondered..
and then the moon blinked at me
as if in full acceptance of what i feel
she said, fool that you are, the stars are out in barca
and he is possibly studyng his arse off
go sleep and think no more..
so i go up, blew her a kiss and walked the 12 yards back to my room..
the corridors were deserted..
the chill is just creeping in the air
there is a graceful nip stinging the face
even the frogs have gone down their holes
and the kittens are snoozing under the water cooler
only i lonely lass
smitten by your charm,
sleep no more
raise no alarm
silently sit and gaze at the star
distant..
in the distance
thats where you are.....

  1. Nice...Loved the imagery. By the way, the constellations look exactly the same even here in NY. :)
