Thinking About You

Deadline looms in front Assignment to be completed ‘Backspace’ used more Than the other Keyboard keys Gives a violent shake To his head Closes his eyes Takes in a deep breath Heart in loving peace Mind in worrisome agitation Furiously types some lines Instantly deletes them The wall clock Continues to tick Gives up Will restart early morning Tosses in bed for some time Gets up Tries to discipline and re-gather The teasing thoughts The loud tweet of solitary love bird Heralds another day Nothing typed The page still blank A notification beeps in The line reads ‘A morning text doesn’t only mean Good Morning. It also means I think about you When I wake up’ He doesn’t reply He simply smiles.
