Fire And Wind

“I love you more than words can wield the matter,

Dearer than eyesight, space and liberty”

-- William Shakespeare

I listen;

To your loving whispers,

Like bees humming into my ears.

I watch;

You stealing glances,

Like moon peeping through the clouds.

I feel;

Your fingers running through my hair,

Like waves brushing against the shores.

I reminisce;

About the seasons and moments,

And walk down the memory lane.

The winters too cold;

Warmed by your sheer presence,

The summer mornings and iced lemon tea.

Our walk;

In the rain and holding hands,

Under a single umbrella.

I still;

Smell your coolness and sense your fondle,

Like salty breeze flirting with the evenings.

I wish;

You would come back,

Like echos do from the mountains.

So what if;

The world coerces us to forfeit our love,

Like draining out all blood from the veins.

You and I;

Are,

Fire and wind;

Fire that ignites solely with the wind,

Soul and body;

Soul that inculcates life into the body.  

The love we share;

Is,

Like parallels, walking together yet never intersect,

Like sun melting into the sea but never consumed,

Like conjoined by heart still seem far apart.
