I Only Live
When in drizly April, I am swayed by
incredible petrichor, run to the window,
watch pouring rain on every trembling leaf,
every quivering branch, caressing the trees,
ecstatically savouring every bit of
those tiny raindrops… as if trees waiting
for so long to get drenched with passion!
I only live to dream about you!
I only live to pine for you!
When in majestic Fall, I get intoxicated
with vibrant colours of the universe, leaves
whirling, swirling, twirling, fluttering
all around, I want to dive in the piles of colours
like a soul in ecstasy, and feel the
warmth of you clasping my hand tight!
I only live to embrace you
when my eyelids droop in slumber,
in frosty chilly winter nights, scintillating
snowflakes covering the treetops,
rooftops laced with silver ribbons
of shiny white, evergreens bejewelled
with snow pellets, I wait and glance
through the hazy misty window panes,
and reminisce about the unforgettable
precious moments of our togetherness.
I only live to read poetry with you!
when the moon glistens in hushed darkness,
stars twinkle and sprinkle stardust
in our dreamy eyes, fireflies glitter
and moths surrender to their destiny!
your tender silky voice makes me fall
in love again and again...and again.
I only live to read poetry with you!
