You!


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!
