Reverie
when you’re
away
you appear
before my eyes
sit with me
and hold my hand
without
hesitation
words fly
from our lips
and dance in
the wind
like petals
in spring
if this is a
dream
may it never
end
because
fantasy
was never as
lovely as this
The
mortal love
talk of love
gives pain
takes us
back to the days
when we
seldom said a word
yet
understood all
it didn’t
have to be spring
for flowers
to bloom
silently we
would create
music in the
air
but dreams
are mortal
they die
slowly or suddenly
we are
together but lonely today
struggling
under bundles of memories
our desires
itch to rip thru
this
synthetic calm
we try to
rephrase our feelings
until it
starts to make sense
timidly,
gingerly
together we
recall the gift of love
that used to
follow us everywhere
we talk
about the love that was
as the time
to part arrives
i touch her
arm and say quietly
you must
listen to the breeze
on starlit
nights when I’m gone
the
fulfillment
i kiss your
lovely face
stranger
moments ago
a bunch of
lilies
dances with
its own shadows
blush
deepens on the cheeks
as i delve
into your folds
unravelling
mysteries
which are
now
for my eyes
only,
i can hear
my heart
precious
hours tick along
rose tinted
scented
evening
melts into
the night
while i just
can't wake up
love and
rapture
gifts to
cherish
The
symphony
the scent of
flowers
teases our
nostrils
petals play
with our skins
as we reveal
our emotions
slowly
gently
roses sway
on green grass
the passion
is more than we can bear
as we
stretch out
on the
emerald bed
dotted with
rubies
skies bend
over the earth
drench us
birds
choreograph a symphony
as our
bodies twirl in tandem
heartbeats
melodize a new rhythm
Quiet ecstasy
away from
concrete harshness
of our
college
in the boat
drifting
amidst Sukhna[1]
we compose a
poem
give love a
new rhythm
even as
flowers
drift by on
the breeze
a robin
flies
partly
obscured by blue mist
makes laps
around the lake
sinking and
rising
our eyes
meet
the sky turns pink
