for MY PRECIOUS ONE
Chakpram Priyanka *
IF I ever lose you
I lose half of myself
None of these reverie of yesteryears
Unclaims you
Wherever my spirit wanders
It finds one by the side
Holding on steadfast faithfully
Sometimes following
Sometimes leading
Sometimes by the side
Such is my bond with YOU
My love for you bears no rivalry
My loyalty to you knows no treachery
Lawns and Lakes we have seen in yore together
And many more to view tomorrow together.
Unwinding the past
If I remove a piece
(Those old courtyard, old playgrounds, the sepia rooms)
Deny your space,
I lose my grip
I float in zombie.
I regain my bearing
Only when I see you running
Only when I see us in skirmishes
(our innate fights!)
Hypnotism ends
With you in those small
Green and blue frocks.
# Dear Little One,
My world reeled first - with you by my side
And I pray to complete it - with you by my side.
