Silent, serene serendipity
Descended as a dawn.
A text from a farm miles away
Changed everything,
One fine day.
Tales of the past,
Things that ended and stuff that last
Out every crevice, we cast.
We texted, we sighed,
Everything that we wished, we hide.
Coffee and café. Life and loves.
Adventures and misadventures alike
We read aloud like bookmarks
From our favorite chapters.
Between our crowded Jupiter to our Snubby,
We’ve added more than a set of wheels.
Between your favorite music and my ghazals,
We’ve made the wind dance between us.
A toast to this special day
When your mom and dad
Blessed this naked earth
With a dark goddess…
Come, let’s sip our wine like the sea inside.
Partake of our daily baked bread
That makes my Cinnamom’s heart
Swell with pride.
I love how your chocolate cake and
Cookies crumble in my mouth
While we complete this song of love
For you to smile and a 1000 fireflies to come alive.
Somewhere, my heart holding your flower vase cracks,
The petals float to rest between your crooked toenails.
These words do not alone a poem make
Your hands hold it like a kite
Set against a yet unseen sky.
I hope this lukewarm poem
May find you warm
And hide inside your soul.
Put this poem near your favorite succulents,
May they may grow better.
Let their thorny exoskeleton know
What only you and I can feel
but no one else can touch.
Does this simple poem remind you of
Love letters from
The sunflowers to the sea?
Wish I was the lighthouse
And you the ship that carry those?
During these unforeseen types of lockdown,
I want you to go peek
At the moon, look at the sky,
Play with the waves,
Heal your soul and
Unlock our love.
Now, am left
Wondering
Did this poem write itself?
And
How many poems about our love
Will you make me write?
Till you read
And reply
With a poem of your own? 😊
