You!

And then there were your eyes
Hit me like a few flashes
Of fleeting sunlight..
Just as the dawn was waving in
Through the curtains of chitra express
That eighth September morning ..

Only if I could turn back in time
And freeze the moments
In my forever frames
of soul & rhyme.

That morning, after a sleepless night
Of stolen glances in difficult directions
You rose above the light
As if to stop the butterflies
from fluttering above any wrong heights

October came with battles and cries
Whispers of destiny
Mixed in mortal rage
Of an unproportionate kind

November saw the light
Of hopes and dreams
That may survive
The storm and wreck it left behind

December brought tidings
Of an unknown kind
Birth of the son of God
Marked a new beginning after all
And that tiny golden halo
wrapped around your pretty fingers
Finally sparked the embers
Out of the ashes of my flaming heart

January flashed like a cosy breeze
Mutual merriment
With a few haberdasheries

And then came February
The day was 14th
and the night felt like that photograph
On times square
Of an unknown sailor kissing an unknown nurse in white & pretty
Like she meant the world to him
The Bliss and joy
The reverence of victory
Like that frozen moment in history

YOU LEANED ON ME !
