Time
slows down like an indolent snail,
Yet
every moment fizzing away like the sweetest of smells.
Eternities
it seems I have spent in wonder,
Yet, what we share -both reason and logic
refuse to spell.
But-
Like the spectacular hues of the first spring
blooms,
Like the cerulean, clear skies devoid of cloudy
plumes,
Like the heartfelt solace of a melodious tune,
Like the first droplets of rain on a scorched earth
in June.
Like a million sparkling stars crushed and
sprinkled,
And the scintillating stardust that arrests my
view-
Everything humdrum seems exquisite again,
When in my thoughts I think of you.
And behold I do with my new found vision,
Unforeseen splendour to which my soul seamlessly
entwines.
I weave novel dreams harbouring new hopes,
The rusty wheels churning feverishly once again in
my mind.
A wondrous joy now echoes through this once mute, empty
heart,
Filling each void with warm gushes of your captivating
smile.
This dispirited journey which seemed to stretch on
till infinity,
All o’ sudden seems pleasurable and worthwhile.
And like a tender, invaluable, illusionary orb
radiating a turbid glow,
I cradle these brittle feelings I’ve nurtured for
you.
Still confused by these labyrinthine thoughts, I can’t
decide-
Whether I love these lush, enchanting ideas or simply
you!
