Random Randomness

Sometimes I wonder
how anything
can be random?
At least for me,
even randomness
comes in a  pattern.
In those random
moments I remember
you. How you randomly
used to come
and smile.
In one of those
random  moments you
confessed attraction,
I confessed love
and you took my cue.
We randomly started
roaming down
the lanes and
you randomly asked
me to marry you.
I said yes – it
wasn't random then,
but now that I
look back and think
It seems the randomest.
Now I am at a random
point again where
down the n-th glass
of a random drink
I ask you to prove
your love for me.
How random, you
might feel. But
trust me it's not, I have
travelled this random road.

Why Do We Let Go?


Dedicated to a woman I read about, who committed suicide last week. May her soul rest in peace.


When everything goes wrong,
When there's nowhere to belong,
Why do we let go?

When number seem tall,
When comforts fall,
Why do we let go?

When love isn't returned,
When vile comments burn
Why do we let go?

When problems unfold,
When friends don't hold,
Why do we let go?

When tears don't spill
When fears instill
Why do we let go?

When pain is not pain
When efforts go in vain
Why do we let go?

When loss is Every Day
Bu God's still the way,
Why...Why do we let go?
