A Cliche

Meet me & I will tell you
stories - familiar yet new
each time I see
each time you hear

Moods riding on roller coasters
lows & highs, highs & lows
strangers & friends, adversaries & foes
vices & advices, contempt & woes

Faces & veils, Facts & lies
Playing host to Conscience once a fortnight
Ethical conundrums, Mythical problems,
Heartless hearts, Hopeless hopes
Romancing ideas to change the world
Spilling & refilling fluid perspectives

Aspirations, Inspirations & Desperations
Unceasing thoughts, Amusing plots
Useless fears, senseless sneers
Desires spawned every minute
losing life the very next moment
Sense of direction altered everyday-
end up running in circles

Vain attempts to catch up
with Time- the recluse, the fugitive.

Meet me & I will tell you
Things, you have left behind
gathering dust in a corner
Things, you will see ahead
forest fires & snowstorms

Meet me & I will tell you
stories told a million times over before
because I am but a cliche
