Sooner is better than Later

Series of 1s & 0s team up to churn out the message

Celluloid letters flicker to let you read what you’ve to read

Circuits amplifying the voice coming through from thousand miles away

To let you hear what you’ve to

And half a million pixels putting up a solved jigsaw to let you see her face

Sooner than later…


Talks won’t lead to anywhere

But the latent hunch that they will - later than sooner


Would keep you at it

As mundane as the day might be

Still you would have something to talk and something to hear

All the wise-cracks and well stirred up doses of flirt

Garnished with a floating umbrella of words and

a few cubes of puns

would get you high sooner or later.

A fight or a tussle, would always be around the corner

But sooner or later you learn how not to take that corner

Sooner or later


All the stories, the people,the incidents from past and present

Success, Failure, Excitement, Disappointment, Affections, Attraction, Jealousy, Desire, Curiosity

Can’t be held back in the presence of million gadgets of communications

And from ever exposed expressions

But, every now and then

Something comes up, someone walks up or walks by

And a look is all maybe it takes

And sooner or later it is a drink, a walk, a movie

or to sum it up - a date

Latter is I guess is better


Sooner or later,

You’ve to let the tide wash out the letters on sand

You’ve to let the photographs fade or get lost or be at the corner of the pin board where you don’t look no more

Sooner or later reality is dearer than dreams

And for the dear ones you need to pull the chord

It isn’t the letting go that hurts but otherwise

‘Who will turn back?’

Is always for one to know and the other one to find out

Be the Latter

Sooner or later

  1. Something good comes out of everything. May your heart continue to be broken. May you progress on the path of cynicism. May you continue to write as brilliantly.

  2. Cant say if it is cynicism, if not sooner then later does follow. As wisely said by Oscar Wilde when asked to describe life..."I can describe it in three words...It goes on"
