But

It’s not often you come across
Someone who mirrors you so much –
Whose thoughts and emotions
Resonate with you as much.

.

And yet, they let it go,
You let it go –
Because it doesn’t come easy.
Because distance you know.

.

And in doing so we ignore –
Humans have for long known
To cover the difference, both in
Space and time.

Fluttering Away Slowly

The harbinger, dark, handsome and short
Sled down and jumped on the lowered lifeboat.

He looked at the peafowl he had caught
who he would never leave, even in his thought.

He assured it, he would come back soon
with a catch of Barbue, when shines the moon.

It hopped and danced, waiting on the deck
Grapevined in merry, tapped to heck.

I Found My Answer

I waited for you to kiss me.
In your stillness, I found my answer.

I waited for your hand to hold mine.
Seeing the phone in yours, I found my answer.

I waited for a word from you.
In your silence, I found my answer.

Before I could wait any further,

In crumbling pieces of my life,

I found my answer.
