Hark! The rhythm

Hark! The rhythm. The pellet drum rattles. The dance begins. The creation, the annihilation, the fleeing in-betweens, and beyond these appar...

Foundations

Awkward laughs,
deep conversations,
speaking silences…
Like steel beams and
nuts and bolts,
pillar on pillar,
we built our foundations,
step by step, breath by breath.
The process engraved in grey matter,
translates into a plot of bestselling romance.
And then suddenly,
dark shadows eclipse these foundations,
these pedestals on which
we had built the tower
of our togetherness.
The orange globe of our love melts
into the freezing sea,
blending in to the purple of night.
Thus, I see our image
at the nature’s crossroads,
waiting for the ambient light.

Winter in the soul

As I snuggle beside him,
I feel his warmth.
The heat of his body,
the cosy mink blanket,
and his overwhelming,
heartening
care and love.
Its all warm. Balmy.
Inviting. And welcoming.
And I am all snow stricken,
frozen and cold.
All that warmth melts me.
But I still shiver.
He asks me if I am still cold.
No. I am not.
But I can’t tell him
that we have wandered
from sunshine
towards shadows.
And its not my body
but my soul that is cold,
shivery and frosty.
So I say yes.
Yes, I am still cold.
He hugs me tighter.
Sacrifices his space
and even sleep for me.
Cuddles me all night.
At length, I don’t know when,
I stop shivering and fall asleep.
Clutching him tighter than ever.
Holding him like a lifeline.
Only to see him wandering in the morning.

Pardon me o dear!

Pardon me o dear!
Trembling, fingers fail to mend,
frayed hem of my love.
