In my solitude
when
I gaze at the starry night
your memory reflects back
how
you peep through the skylight.
Your aura
intoxicates my room
making me fully dopy
in my trance
I feel your warmth
lying on the soft linen white
stealing your glance
through half-closed eyes.
With staggering steps
when
I try to imprison you
with my trembling arms
the wall of glass
comes in between us.
Helplessly contemplate your beam
receding back
behind the horizon
till it catches my vision
At this moment of deep pain,
the silhouette
comes back to life
with the sudden approach
of a soft breeze
carrying the message
of unfathomable joy
tinted with nostalgic fragrance.
The stars grin
with their myriad twinkles
Lilies spread
their sensuous petals
Discover myself in a cell,
where boundaries
dissolves into eternity
No fear of losing
No pain of parting
An elated state of being
where,
You and me
swinging as one whole,
the synonym
of one soul.
