Between Us

I am wondering what to do next in the day

When your face comes my way

And I start wondering where to go to

Because nothing else makes sense

Where else to start from

When You make all the difference

I wonder where I began and when it all took form

This life that has its roots from you.

When I looked at you the first time I don’t remember

But I carry our black and white photographs

Of when I was three.

A pram, a peach frock, a blue jumper and a dandelion

Sunshine and downpour

When you were four.

And now you tower tall and loom over me

And we have few words to share

But when you hug me I can see

That I am still three

Around you.

 It had started too weird

But bad then kept at bay

Missed calls throughout the day

Coffee shops here and there

and lots of cups of tea.

Pouring vibes all over the sheets

Literature to drink and eat

And pray.

You made time stay.

You opened a new world for me

Of pen, paper and prose

Unread stories took shape

And danced in front of me

The muse wanted attention,

I merely supplied.

No matter how much I tried

You kept me spellbound.

I met you through the world

It seemed like a preplanned scheme

It wanted me to fall

To feel and to fly

Free as a feather.

It was like whirlwind

So I closed my eyes

and let it swipe me off my feet

Whenever our eyes did meet

we smiled.

Silence sang between us

as songs that made me sway

The songs I strew on paper

And folded and posted to you

Along with my heart

For a couple of chocolates, a shoulder

A cigarette,

and unconditional Love.

Endless phone calls and conversations

And the billet duos meant for no one

Became yours.

Tender loving care poured and overflew

In mutual consent

My expressions found you and drowned themselves in paper

That I sew word by word, gift wrapped.

Every feeling that I felt when with you

I beaded into a string

and dedicated to you.

You are still a mystery

I unravel everyday

And we have a history

I wish I could chase away

But we have our new beginnings

Lit in broad sunshine

An endless green land

Where we stroll

Hand in hand.

Kindness and gratitude

Measured in heaps

Topped with the cherry

Of how I feel merry

When we are talking

Words flow and I listen

To you unquestioningly

My eyes are you

When you lead me through

I follow simply.

I never say no

I know it’s the right way to go.

Faith is you and me

Woven together

With friendship, joy and concern

Freshly cut and arranged

In a bouquet of flowers.

You know-it-all

You shine through

You smile your smile

The smile of manifold secrets

And zillions of years later

You will still know me inside out

Like I know you

With no camouflage

Wrong hues and color

We are painted black and white

Before each other

My heart I will bare

To others with care

But before you I will dare

To come as I am.
