You (2)

I make some part of your today

But you know I will be gone tomorrow

Filling up the silences between breaths

I extend my hand

To take away your sorrow

I may be just a moment for you

A passing fancy

A may fly; but

You

Your heartbeat sings me a lullaby

Your smile envelops me like a starlit night-sky

Dreaming next to you, I am free.

All you fellas....add on!

Randomness...

Jumping on trampoline
Receding into welcoming abyss
Clutching the sleeve for reassurance
Screaming into the face of nightmarish wind

Posing for perfection
Moping for shared preferences
Lazing for stretching time
Grinning the same grin

Culminating into randomness!

Love's Fool

Trickster with affable charm

Disarmed this love’s fool

Struggling with comprehension

Galloping over some random moon

Pretence, protest, piquancy;

Were all but arms in a one-sided battle?

After a mere touch of you, I can live in peace

I can lose myself in your light
I can lose myself in your name

My days dance with joy, nights sing in wonder

I win you while losing myself...

YOU

You are possessed of dancing silhouettes
You are a feeling at my fingertips
You, the voyeur, the masked soul
You are the raging dervish
You are made of infinite boxes
You, the wood rat, the feline too
You are the totem – the insight
You, oblivious to chance and fate
You, the doer, the mover and shaker
You are the thirst only you can satiate!
