WHISPERS: River and the Tree...

Lips interlocked
Hearts entangled, bodies entwined

We stay in our own desert spaces, all alone

__

Sea shore and waves
Pulsating rhythm – far and close
An endless coming together

RIVER AND THE TREE

Sitting by the river

Drawing out few of my dreams

I spread them across

And she offered

Some drops of water

And I went about brushing off my dreams

Stroke by stroke

From the plains of my heart

Spread all over the sky

With many dark clouds

- Floating like doubts

Memories stretch my imagination

To the last thin strand

Before it breaks with a twang

That reverberates inside my soul

And a ripple escapes my fingers

Playing within the river

And she looks up, still holding my hand

“Did you say something?”

I said

“No! Nothing,

Just broke another dream

Scraped another desire from my heart,

What did you hear?”

She said “Nothing”

And then she flowed silently away

Looking back till her last bend

Around the corner

Where the tree

Leaned over to hug her

Kiss her

How I wish

I could have been that tree again

Rooted to the spot

In her embrace

While she said her goodbyes

And my memories replay

Another break from Past

How I wish

I should have not been that tree

Rooted to the spot

How I wish

To cut myself off my roots

Fall within her flow, to float silently

Within her innerself

As she rushes into sea and transform

How I wish to float eternally, searching

In that universal consciousness of her

What I lost within

How I wish to find myself, eternally

In depths of her love within me
