This Love

Its a poem with my heart n soul. . . . .Please read it slowly. . . . .

_______________________



It was raining. . . . .

She was by the window. . . . .
Resting her face on the breeze blowing by. . . . .


The wind carried with her across the hall,
The smell of new-born mud and her sweet fragrance. . . . .

I picked up my weak knees,
Worked my way through the furniture,
Walked up to her slowly. . . . .



Felt like I crossed oceans to reach to a distance where I could breathe the same air as her. . . . .


Beating hearts pounding,
Subtle emotions unwinding,
Felt her grace rushing though me. . . . .
Felt my youth running with me. . . . .

Moved my feet a step ahead,

Kept my fingers on her waist. . . . .
Slid my palm in and grabbed her sides. . . . .

She looked at me through the corner of her eye,
Her lips had a smile. . . . .

She took my hands. . . . .
She wrapped them around her chest. . . . .
She released herself from the window pane. . . . .
N let herself sink in my arms. . . . .

Two heartbeats became one,
Two bodies became one,
Two souls became one. . . . .
We were in resonance. . . . .we were in love. . . . .


My palm took hers. . . . .

Guided her outside the window. . . . .

Let the drops of rain sprinkle n die in her palm. . . . .

I slowly gathered those wet beads,
Took them under the shade,
Slowly carried them to her forehead. . . . .

She closed her eyes. . . . .

I let them go. . . . .
Each drop set out to their own journey. . . . .

They took their time,
Descended,
Gathered,
N together they disappeared. . . . .

I watched her breathing,

A beautiful sight for the eyes to behold,

Slowly

I turned her around. . . . .

Took her cold face in my palms. . . . .
There the sky flashed, n thunder brought her uneasiness. . . . .

I saw her afraid hands grasping my wrist tightly. . . . .

I smiled at her. . . . .

Placed my lips on her disappearing frown lines. . . . .


I said,
"Its been 72 years, n u haven't learned one thing I always remind u of. . . . .never be afraid of fear when u have me by ur side"

She replied,
"i was not afraid. . . . .just that I was taken by surprise, thats all"

"Now, u dont lie! U even held my wrist tightly. . . . ."

"oh that? I was just checking ur pulse oldie!"

We both laughed at each other. . . . .

All these years passed by me like a breeze,
All I could remember was her face from our teens. . . . .
All I could feel then was my unquenchable love for her. . . . .

I pulled her close. . . . .

I leaned embracing her in my arms. . . . .

She grabbed on. . . . .

We kissed. . . . .
