Interlude – An Interval

Tonight
Unfurl, unsettle.
The air around disappears sometime in the morning light.
Your eyes, beacon for a calming storm:
Baptised my name for yourself tonight.
Before the gods, the heaven,
The satanic laughter screams tonight.
Are you dream that i miss every day in brights.
Those pink lips, my sky tonight.
Unfurl, unsettle
My heart unrests
Come touch it once .
Atleast tonight.

To remember a smile
It’s just a piece of skin
aching for a laughter
In a world that makes desolation
And calls it peace.
A thousand fireworks
look like lights without laughter
With your memories without laughter
My ears become a temple begging for a worship
Smile now,
For someone
For me.
Don’t let my temple disappear in a map of this world undiscovered.
Worship my eyes instead.
They smile without dreams.
Without reasons
Without fear.
Come tell me, do your eyes seek me
Am I your Christmas?
When the world desolates you away from me.

The Swan with Brown eyes.
She doesn’t float,
but the water and the world around her move
to justify her movements.
I observe bleakly, like a child observing snow.
Those brown eyes, the red beak.
of how could it exist:
In a timeline,In our timelines,
We briefly intersect each other’s life
and now she is inside my head with those eyes.
The nights turn to days,
the days turn to sentences.
I greet her everyday.
She becomes a prayer for an atheist.
A Song for the voiceless.
A Dance for crippled.
Would she be thinking same?
as I observe her even now?
Why?
Why not?
Is this a swan song?
Let her answer all.
Let her answer none.
The eyes speak for those who have learn to observe.
Let me observe.
